The Twilight Zone (1959–1964): Season 5, Episode 17 - Number 12 Looks Just Like You - full transcript

YOU UNLOCK THIS DOOR
WITH THE KEY OF IMAGINATION.

BEYOND IT IS
ANOTHER DIMENSION...

A DIMENSION OF SOUND,

A DIMENSION OF SIGHT,
A DIMENSION OF MIND.

YOU'RE MOVING INTO A LAND OF
BOTH SHADOW AND SUBSTANCE,

OF THINGS AND IDEAS.

YOU'VE JUST CROSSED
OVER INTO THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

I CAN'T DECIDE... EIGHT OR 12.

I THINK 12 MIGHT
SUIT YOU BETTER.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, MARILYN?

HMM?



YOU WEREN'T EVEN LISTENING.

I'M SORRY, MOTHER.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU, DARLING.

MOST GIRLS ARE THRILLED
WHEN IT'S TIME TO PICK A PATTERN.

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED

AT THE ONES THE
BUREAU SENT OVER.

OH, I LOOKED AT THEM.

I REMEMBER HOW EXCITED
I WAS BEFORE I WAS DONE.

I COULDN'T SLEEP FOR NIGHTS.

I FINALLY CHOSE NUMBER 12.

I GUESS THAT'S
EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE.

AREN'T YOU EXCITED?

MARILYN, WHAT ARE
YOU LOOKING AT, DEAR?

YOU, A PICTURE OF YOU BEFORE.



OH, DEAR.

IT IS YOU, ISN'T IT?

YES, THAT'S ME BEFORE
MY TRANSFORMATION.

I WAS A SIGHT, WASN'T I?

MOTHER, I THINK
YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL.

WELL, I CERTAINLY DON'T.

AM I VERY HOMELY NOW?

NO, DARLING, NOT TO ME.

BUT AFTERWARDS,
YOU'LL BE BEAUTIFUL.

MOTHER, IF I DIDN'T WANT
THE TRANSFORMATION,

I WOULDN'T HAVE
TO HAVE IT, WOULD I?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE TRANSFORMATION IS
THE MOST MARVELOUS THING

THAT COULD HAPPEN TO A PERSON.

WELL, I COULD WAIT A
LITTLE WHILE, COULDN'T I?

DON'T WORRY, DARLING,
YOU'RE JUST NERVOUS.

WHAT YOU NEED IS A
GLASS OF INSTANT SMILE.

JUST THINK, VERY SOON NOW

YOU CAN LOOK LIKE THAT.

WON'T THAT BE WONDERFUL?

YOU RANG, MRS. CUBERLE?

LANA.

PARDON ME... LANA.

I DON'T KNOW WHY TEACHING
YOU PEOPLE TO USE FIRST NAMES

IS SUCH A PROBLEM.

A GLASS OF INSTANT SMILE
FOR MARILYN, PLEASE, GRACE.

ON SECOND THOUGHT, MAKE IT TWO.

YES, MA'AM.

LANA.

WHAT'S SO TERRIBLE
ABOUT BEING BEAUTIFUL?

AFTER ALL, ISN'T EVERYBODY?

GIVEN THE CHANCE,
WHAT YOUNG GIRL

WOULDN'T HAPPILY EXCHANGE
A PLAIN FACE FOR A LOVELY ONE?

WHAT GIRL COULD REFUSE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE BEAUTIFUL?

FOR WANT OF A BETTER ESTIMATE,
LET'S CALL IT THE YEAR 2000.

AT ANY RATE, IMAGINE
A TIME IN THE FUTURE

WHEN SCIENCE HAS DEVELOPED
THE MEANS OF GIVING EVERYONE

THE FACE AND BODY HE DREAMS OF.

IT MAY NOT HAPPEN TOMORROW,

BUT IT HAPPENS NOW,
IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

WHO IS IT?

HI, UNCLE RICK.

TAKE IT EASY WITH
THAT UNCLE RICK STUFF.

ARE YOU TRYING TO
MAKE ME FEEL OLD?

I'M SORRY, I FORGOT.

NOW, YOUNG LADY,

WHAT'S ALL THIS I'VE
BEEN HEARING ABOUT YOU?

YOU KNOW, HONEY, YOUR
MOTHER IS VERY WORRIED.

I DON'T WANT TO BE TRANSFORMED.

I WANT TO STAY UGLY.

OH, YOU'RE NOT
UGLY, YOU'RE JUST...

NOT BEAUTIFUL.

WELL, I WOULDN'T
EXACTLY SAY THAT.

IT'S JUST THAT, UH...

YOU'RE DIFFERENT.

SIT DOWN HERE.

MARILYN, YOUR FATHER
WAS TRANSFORMED.

YES, NUMBER 17 JUST LIKE YOU.

A VERY POPULAR
NUMBER THESE DAYS.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT
HAS BEEN FOR 20 YEARS.

HE WOULDN'T HAVE
SETTLED FOR ANYTHING LESS.

BUT IS THAT GOOD?

BEING LIKE EVERYBODY...

ISN'T THAT THE SAME
AS BEING NOBODY?

I THINK IT'S TIME YOU TELL ME

WHERE YOU'RE GETTING
THESE RADICAL IDEAS.

DADDY ONCE SAID...

YOUR FATHER WAS A HANDSOME MAN.

BUT HE THOUGHT ABOUT THINGS

AND HE READ BOOKS.

WE TALKED A LOT,
JUST THE TWO OF US.

EVERYBODY TALKS.

I MEAN ABOUT REAL THINGS

NOT JUST ABOUT ELECTRONIC
BASEBALL OR SUPER SOCCER

AND WHERE TO BUY YOUR CLOTHES

OR HOW TO FIX YOUR HAIR.

IS THAT BAD?

LIKING SPORTS,
BUYING NEW CLOTHES?

NO, OF COURSE, IT ISN'T

BUT THERE'S GOT
TO BE MORE TO LIFE.

YOU DON'T FEEL VERY WELL.

WHAT YOU NEED IS A NICE CUP

OF INSTANT SMILE.

I HAD A CUP OF INSTANT SMILE!

I DON'T FEEL LIKE
SMILING ALL THE TIME.

SOMETIMES I WANT
TO CRY OR FROWN.

WON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

MARILYN, YOU ARE
A VERY SICK GIRL.

Lana: IT'S BEEN VERY NICE
TALKING TO YOU, VALERIE.

Valerie: THANK YOU.

HI, MARILYN. HI, VALERIE.

ARE YOU TWO GOING OUT?

I DON'T THINK SO, MRS. CUBERLE.

YOU PROMISED TO CALL
ME LANA, REMEMBER?

OH, YES. LANA.

WELL, I KNOW YOU TWO
HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT

AND I'M DUE AT CULTURE CLASS.

BYE. GOOD-BYE.

SHE TOLD YOU, DIDN'T SHE?

YES, SHE DID.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE
BEING AWFULLY SILLY?

NO. THERE'S NO LAW, IS THERE?

BUT IT ISN'T AS IF IT
HURTS OR ANYTHING.

WHEN THEY DID MINE,
I DIDN'T FEEL A THING.

I KNOW THAT.

WELL, YOU LIKE THE
WAY I LOOK, DON'T YOU?

I LIKE YOU, VAL, WE'RE FRIENDS.

I LIKED YOU BEFORE
THE TRANSFORMATION.

BUT YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT.

IT'S LIKE GETTING
A NEW HAIRSTYLE

OR NEW CLOTHES OR SOMETHING.

YOU JUST LOOK BETTER.

I'LL LOOK LIKE ONE
OF THOSE DRAWINGS

THAT THE BUREAU SENDS OVER.

BUT THEY'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

IT IS WRONG, VALERIE.

HOW WILL YOU KNOW ME?

I MEAN, HOW WILL ANYONE KNOW ME?

I DON'T WANT TO LOOK
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

I WANT TO LOOK LIKE ME.

AND I'M NOT GOING TO
LET THEM CHANGE ME.

I WON'T LET THEM CHANGE ME.

VALERIE, PLEASE HELP ME.

PLEASE.

DOCTOR WILL SEE YOU NOW.

AH, COME IN, PLEASE, LANA.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

COME, MARILYN.

AND THIS IS MARILYN.

SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN.

I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO
BOTHER YOU, DOCTOR.

IT'S SUCH A SILLY THING, REALLY.

NOT AT ALL, NOT AT ALL.

I SEE YOU'RE 18 NOW.

IT MUST BE JUST ABOUT TIME

FOR YOU TO, UH... AH!
I SEE YOU'VE ALREADY

RECEIVED NOTICE.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.

OF COURSE.

YOU MUSTN'T WORRY, LANA.

MARILYN IS LIKE THE
REST OF THEM NOWADAYS.

I AM?

AND IT'S OUR FAULT REALLY.

YOU SEE, WE HAVEN'T GIVEN
HER ANY DEFINITE REASON

WHY SHE MUST WAIT
UNTIL THE AGE OF 19.

YOU SEE, SHE LOOKS AT YOU, LANA,

AND THE OTHER WOMEN AROUND HER

AND THEN AT HERSELF
IN THE MIRROR.

DOCTOR...

FROM PURE PERFECTION
OF BODY, FACE, LIMB,

PIGMENTATION, STANCE, CARRIAGE,

SHE LOOKS AT HERSELF
AND SHE'S HORRIFIED.

ISN'T THAT SO? OF COURSE.

YOU SEE, THE POOR
CHILD SAYS TO HERSELF

WHY SHOULD I BE SO HIDEOUS?

SO AWKWARD,
OVERSIZED, UNBALANCED,

SO FULL OF REVOLTING
SKIN ERUPTIONS, EH?

IN SHORT, LANA,

OUR MARILYN IS TIRED
OF BEING A MONSTER.

DR. REX, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHAT'S THAT?

SHE ISN'T ANXIOUS.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE
THE TRANSFORMATION.

YOU WHAT?

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND.

SHE NEVER SAID
ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEFORE.

IS THIS TRUE?

YES.

SHE DOESN'T GIVE ANY REASONS.

YES, YES.

NOW, MARILYN,

SUPPOSE YOU TELL
ME ALL ABOUT IT,

IN YOUR OWN WORDS.

I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST DON'T WANT THE CHANGE.

YOU UNDERSTAND, OF COURSE,
THAT THE TRANSFORMATION

HAS BECOME A NORMAL
PART OF GROWING UP.

IT'S A SIGN OF MATURITY.

WHAT, BEING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?

MARILYN...

WOULD YOU MIND

IF I CONDUCTED AN
EXPERIMENT WITH YOU?

PURELY FOR MY OWN RECORDS.

THIS WAY, PLEASE.

SIT RIGHT DOWN HERE, PLEASE.

NOW, MARILYN, YOU
MUST TRY TO UNDERSTAND

THE TRANSFORMATION
IS NOT MERELY DESIRABLE

FROM AN AESTHETIC POINT OF VIEW.

BUT EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN US

THAT IT PLAYS A
VERY IMPORTANT ROLE

IN PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT.

NOW JUST HOLD YOUR
HEAD VERY STILL, PLEASE.

THIS WON'T HURT A BIT.

THERE WE ARE.

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

YES.

LANA, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
TRIGGERED THIS RESENTMENT?

I CAN'T IMAGINE.

SHE'S NEVER SHOWN MUCH INTEREST.

IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME.

I SEE THAT YOUR HUSBAND DIED

IN THE GANYMEDE INCIDENT.

FIVE YEARS AGO.

DID YOU AND HE EVER
HAVE AN OCCASION

TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER
BETWEEN YOURSELVES?

YES, HE WAS OPPOSED
TO IT AT FIRST.

BUT HE FINALLY CHOSE
NUMBER 17, YOUR NUMBER.

AH, I SEE.

MARILYN, YOU CAN
COME OVER HERE NOW.

WE'RE QUITE FINISHED.

NOW, MARILYN, I TAKE IT

THAT YOU WERE QUITE
FOND OF YOUR FATHER.

YES.

AND YOU NO DOUBT
RESPECTED HIS OPINIONS.

DID HE EVER SAY TO YOU THAT
THE TRANSFORMATION WAS BAD?

NO, NOT EXACTLY.

WHAT DID HE SAY TO YOU?

HE SAID... HE THOUGHT
IT WAS TRAGIC.

MY HUSBAND HAD SOME
RATHER NONCONFORMIST IDEAS,

BUT IT WAS JUST TALK.

HE HAD THE HIGHEST PHYSICAL
AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RATING

WITH THE ROCKET SERVICE.

YES, YES.

LANA, THIS CASE IS
EXTREMELY UNUSUAL.

I'M AFRAID THAT I SHALL
REQUIRE MORE TIME

TO EXAMINE THE MATTER FURTHER.

SUPPOSE I GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU?

YOU FIND OUT WHAT'S IN THERE?

WHAT'S THAT?

DID YOU FIND OUT
WHAT'S INSIDE OF ME?

YES, INDEED.

YOUR GENERAL INTELLIGENCE
RATING IS QUITE HIGH.

YOUR SOCIAL
ADAPTABILITY IS GOOD.

YOUR POWERS OF
REASONING, QUITE NORMAL.

THEN WHY CAN'T I
MAKE UP MY OWN MIND?

MARILYN, PLEASE.

WHY ARE YOU FORCING ME TO
DO SOMETHING I DON'T WANT?

YOU CAN'T MAKE
ME DO IT, CAN YOU?

NOBODY CAN MAKE ME DO IT.

NOW, NOW, MY DEAR CHILD.

NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN FORCED

TO TAKE TRANSFORMATION

IF HE DIDN'T WANT IT.

YOU SEE, THE PROBLEM IS SIMPLY

TO DISCOVER WHY
YOU DON'T WANT IT

AND THEN TO MAKE THE
NECESSARY CORRECTION.

RIGHT IN HERE, PLEASE.

WHAT PLACE IS THIS?

MARILYN CUBERLE.

Man: COME IN AND
SIT DOWN, PLEASE.

THERE'S NOTHING
TO BE FRIGHTENED OF.

WHO ARE YOU?

SIT DOWN, PLEASE.

I AM PROFESSOR
FRIEND, SIGMUND FRIEND.

YOU MUST CALL ME PROFESSOR SIG.

DR. REX HAS TOLD ME ABOUT YOU.

I AM HERE TO HELP YOU.

HELP ME?

TO HELP RID YOU OF THESE FEARS

OF THIS NECESSARY...
THAT ISN'T TRUE.

THEY'RE NOT NECESSARY.

THIS IS VERY NECESSARY,

VERY IMPORTANT
STEP IN YOUR LIFE.

WHY? WHY DOES EVERYONE
WANT TO FORCE ME

TO DO SOMETHING I
DON'T WANT TO DO?

BUT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

WHY ELSE?

WHY ELSE WOULD THE STATE GO
TO SUCH TROUBLE AND EXPENSE?

MANY YEARS AGO, WISER MEN THAN I

DECIDED TO TRY AND
ELIMINATE THE REASONS

FOR INEQUALITY AND INJUSTICE
IN THIS WORLD OF OURS.

THEY SAW IN PHYSICAL
UNATTRACTIVENESS

ONE OF THE FACTORS
WHICH MADE MEN HATE.

SO, THEY CHARGED THE
FINEST SCIENTIFIC MINDS

WITH THE TASK OF ELIMINATING
UGLINESS IN MANKIND.

BUT I'M NOT UGLY.

I'M NOT PRETTY,
BUT I'M NOT UGLY.

BUT TO OTHERS YOU ARE.

NOT TO PEOPLE WHO LOVE ME.

THERE IS MORE TO IT
THAN THAT, OF COURSE.

AS WE LEARNED TO RESHAPE
THE FEATURES, REMOLD THE BODY,

WE ALSO LEARNED TO ELIMINATE
MOST OF THE CAUSES OF ILLNESS

AND THUS TO PROLONG LIFE.

BEFORE THE TRANSFORMATION,

YOU COULD HAVE EXPECTED
TO LIVE 70, 80, PERHAPS 90 YEARS.

BUT NOW YOU CAN
LIVE TWICE THAT LONG.

PERHAPS THREE TIMES.

THIS IS A GOOD THING, IS IT NOT?

YES...

YOUR MOTHER, AH, SHE
IS LOVELY, IS SHE NOT?

AT ONE TIME, HER BODY, HER FACE,

MIGHT ALREADY BE
SHOWING SIGNS OF AGE,

OF DECAY.

YOU WOULD NOT DENY YOUR
MOTHER HER YOUTH, WOULD YOU?

BUT YOU COULD DO THAT
ANYWAY, COULDN'T YOU?

KEEP ME YOUNG
WITHOUT CHANGING ME.

I WOULDN'T MIND JUST THAT.

BUT SOMEDAY YOU MIGHT

AND THAT WOULD BE TOO LATE.

YOU SEE, THE TRANSFORMATION
MUST BE PERFORMED

WHEN THE BODY AND THE
TISSUE ARE AT THE PROPER STATE.

NO, I'LL NEVER CHANGE MY MIND.

I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT
IT AND I NEVER WILL.

WHY?

HAVE YOU EVER READ SHAKESPEARE?

WHO?

OR KEATS OR SHELLEY?

THOSE BOOKS WERE
BANNED MANY YEARS AGO.

WHERE DID YOU FIND THEM?

MY FATHER GAVE THEM
TO ME AND LOTS OF OTHERS.

ARISTOTLE, SOCRATES,
DOSTOYEVSKY.

DID YOU KNOW THAT
DOSTOYEVSKY WAS AN EPILEPTIC?

HE WAS UGLY, HE WAS DEFORMED,

BUT HE WROTE ABOUT
BEAUTY, ABOUT REAL BEAUTY.

I MUST WARN YOU,
THIS SUBVERSIVE...

THESE MEN WROTE ABOUT LIFE

AND ABOUT THE DIGNITY OF
THE INDIVIDUAL HUMAN SPIRIT

AND ABOUT LOVE.

THIS IS ENOUGH!

THE INTRODUCTION OF
SMUT INTO THIS INTERVIEW

WILL NOT HELP YOUR CASE,
YOUNG LADY, NOT AT ALL.

MAY I GO?

YES, CERTAINLY, I HAVE
ARRANGED A ROOM FOR YOU.

YOU WILL BE QUITE COMFORTABLE.

I DON'T WANT TO STAY HERE.

I WANT TO GO HOME!

YOUR MOTHER WILL BE INFORMED

AND YOU WILL BE
ALLOWED VISITORS.

COME, MY DEAR.

WHY DO I HAVE TO STAY HERE?

I AM AFRAID THAT
FOR THE TIME BEING

YOU MUST LET US DECIDE
WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU.

WE WON'T HURT YOU.

WE'RE GOING TO HELP YOU.

THIS WAY, LANA.

SHE'S RIGHT IN HERE.

MARILYN?

MARILYN, YOU HAVE VISITORS.

MOTHER?

SHE WAS UPSET LAST NIGHT.

I GAVE HER SOMETHING
TO HELP HER SLEEP.

SHE'S ALL RIGHT, ISN'T SHE?

YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING?

JUST A MILD SEDATIVE.

NOW IF YOU LADIES
WILL EXCUSE ME.

DARLING, WE'D HAVE
BEEN HERE SOONER

BUT THE DOCTOR SAID
YOU WERE SLEEPING.

DO YOU FEEL ALL RIGHT?

YES.

HELLO, VALERIE.

HI, HONEY, WHAT HAPPENED?

NOTHING.

THEY JUST WOULDN'T LET ME GO.

OH, MOTHER, THEY'RE
GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY.

THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE ME DO IT!

NO, MARILYN, DR. REX
PROMISED, REMEMBER?

HE WAS LYING!

LYING, BUT WHY SHOULD HE?

HE HAS TO SAY THAT TO KEEP
PEOPLE FROM FINDING OUT

THE TRANSFORMATION WILL BE
DONE WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT.

I DON'T SEE WHY YOU'RE UNHAPPY

WHEN ALL THEY WANT TO
DO IS MAKE YOU PRETTY.

BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE!

LAST NIGHT, BEFORE
I WENT TO SLEEP,

I REMEMBERED SOMETHING
THAT FATHER SAID.

HE SAID, "WHEN
EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL

"NO ONE WILL BE"
BECAUSE WITHOUT UGLINESS

THERE CAN BE NO BEAUTY."

MOTHER, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

THEY DON'T CARE WHETHER
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL OR NOT.

THEY JUST WANT
EVERYONE TO BE THE SAME.

"THEY"?

WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY,
BUT I'M AFRAID

IT'S TIME TO LEAVE NOW.

OH, WELL.

IF IT'S ALL RIGHT,

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO MARILYN.

JUST FOR A FEW MINUTES.

DON'T WORRY, DARLING

EVERYTHING'S GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT.

I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID.

I MEAN ABOUT WHAT
YOUR FATHER SAID

AND... WELL, I DON'T SEE WHY

YOU'RE SO CONCERNED ABOUT HIM.

HE'S DEAD.

I MEAN, SURELY YOU'VE
HAD OTHER FATHERS.

MY MOTHER'S BEEN
MARRIED 11 TIMES

AND PERSONALLY

I'VE LIKED THE
STEPFATHERS BETTER.

VALERIE, PLEASE DON'T.

LOOK, I KNOW YOU'VE
HAD NINE FATHERS

SINCE THE FIRST ONE.

EVERYBODY MARRIES
EVERYBODY THESE DAYS.

VALERIE, STOP.

I JUST DON'T SEE HOW
ANYBODY CAN STAY MARRIED

TO THE SAME HUSBAND
FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.

BESIDES, I'VE HEARD THAT
YOUR FATHER WAS PRETTY DULL.

VALERIE, STOP IT!

STOP TALKING ABOUT MY FATHER!

CAN'T ANY OF YOU UNDERSTAND?

I LOVED HIM.

I CARED ABOUT HIM.

HE WAS GOOD AND HE WAS
KIND AND HE CARED ABOUT ME;

NOT WHAT I WORE,
NOT THE WAY I LOOKED

BUT WHAT I THOUGHT, WHAT I FELT.

HE CARED ABOUT HIMSELF AND
HIS DIGNITY AS A HUMAN BEING.

VALERIE, HE DIDN'T DIE IN
THE GANYMEDE INCIDENT.

MY FATHER KILLED HIMSELF.

BECAUSE WHEN THEY TOOK AWAY

HIS IDENTITY HE HAD NO
REASON TO GO ON LIVING.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
YOU, MARILYN.

VALERIE... CAN'T
YOU FEEL ANYTHING?

WELL, OF COURSE, SILLY.

I FEEL... I FEEL GOOD.

I ALWAYS FEEL GOOD.

"LIFE IS PRETTY, LIFE IS FUN

I AM ALL AND ALL IS ONE."

YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND, CAN YOU?

WHAT?

THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND.

THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND.

THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND.

COME IN, MY DEAR.

WE'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.

SOONER OR LATER, EVERYONE
WANTS TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

WHERE'S YOUR NUMBER?

SHE'S CHOSEN NUMBER EIGHT.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

I JUST LOVE YOUR SUIT, VAL.

LANA, VAL!

YOU'RE JUST IN TIME.

IT'S ALL OVER, DOCTOR?

ALL OVER.

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

SHE'S FINE.

YOU'LL SEE FOR YOURSELVES.

I'VE BEEN SO WORRIED...

NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK TO HER

AND SHE SEEMED IN SUCH A STATE.

WELL, IT'S AS I TOLD YOU.

OCCASIONALLY, A PERSON HAS

DIFFICULTY
ADJUSTING TO THE IDEA.

BUT WE'VE IMPROVED
METHODS SINCE THE OLD DAYS

AND NOW IT ALWAYS
TURNS OUT WELL.

NEVER FAILS.

IT'S COMPLETE.

Marilyn: MOTHER!

MOTHER, VAL.

LOOK AT ME.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL,
MARILYN JUST BEAUTIFUL.

AND THE NICEST
PART OF ALL, VAL...

I LOOK JUST LIKE YOU.

PORTRAIT OF A
YOUNG LADY IN LOVE...

WITH HERSELF.

IMPROBABLE? PERHAPS.

BUT IN AN AGE OF
PLASTIC SURGERY,

BODY BUILDING AND AN
INFINITY OF COSMETICS

LET US HESITATE
TO SAY IMPOSSIBLE.

THESE AND OTHER
STRANGE BLESSINGS

MAY BE WAITING IN THE FUTURE

WHICH, AFTER ALL,
IS THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

AND NOW, MR. SERLING.

EARL HAMNER, JR. BRINGS HIS
TYPEWRITER AND HIS FERTILE MIND

BACK INTO THE
TWILIGHT ZONE NEXT TIME

WITH A PROGRAM ABOUT VISITORS.

ON THE SURFACE
THEY'RE BEATNIKS...

A FEW RAUNCHY LOOKING
CHARACTERS ON MOTORCYCLES

DRAW INTO TOWN ONE DAY.

BUT ONCE YOU MEET THEM,
YOU WON'T FORGET THEM...

THEY'RE QUITE DIFFERENT
FROM WHAT THEY APPEAR.

ON THE TWILIGHT ZONE, LEE
KINSOLVING, SHELLEY FABARES
