  All the time that I was alone, I thought, I thought I would
• 0:04
  do if only I did. And then I saw the Rubbit two thousand plus
• 0:12
  science fiction Adventures in the World of Tomorrow the years beyond the two thousand Lady
• 0:18
  two thousand plus presents a Robert Killer. So you are, mister Samuel Donaldson.
• 0:38
  Yes, sir, Happy Sam, they called me. So. I
• 0:41
  know I have friends who think your television program is very funny. I do
• 0:45
  not. It's a living Professors, Drager. Now, may I see the
• 0:49
  mechanical man I'm giving away as the Jackpot prize on my show next week.
• 0:53
  It is not a mechanical man, mister Donaldson. The correct word is Rubert
• 0:57
  Robot. I know I'm no Rod, but it is a supreme achievement of
• 1:00
  electronic division, worked on us for six years to do whatever it is instructor
• 1:06
  to do. I simply do not understand how the management of this corporation can
• 1:10
  think of giving it away to this public, this magnificent mechanism. Oh look,
• 1:15
  Professor, this corporation sponsors my TV show. We're on one two hundred
• 1:19
  and forty six stations. We're telecast in three dimensional color, and the Happy
• 1:23
  Sam Show is the number two favorite in the country. The sponsor thinks it
• 1:27
  would be a good advertising gimmick to offer a super jackpot prize, a mechanical
• 1:33
  man, a robot, and I never argue with a sponsor. Now,
• 1:37
  please, may I see what I've come to see? Oh, young man,
• 1:40
  I have no choice. Come a look, there is an experimental over
• 1:57
  twenty three. Rare there he's really something. Professor six feet tall, shiny
• 2:06
  metal, flexible fingers say, how does he work? Very simply? His
• 2:12
  electronic controls respond to ultra high frequency ways which emanate from this microphone box.
• 2:19
  Speak into the microphone, or Robert will do whatever you order, into anything
• 2:23
  virtually. Robert twenty three has an electronic brain. Drive yourself in, okay,
• 2:29
  saying sweet ada line. Really, mister Donaldson, what a ridiculous request.
• 2:32
  Do you think the best scientific brains in the country work for six years?
• 2:36
  Or rubb the heavens with my it? Really tried to sing. Hey,
• 2:53
  he's very clever, professorre Hey, he wants this pick up that boom

  my program will love this. What I'll be done? Look at there he's
• 3:10
  doting it he's doning it. Okay, okay, stop sweeping. What a
• 3:17
  gadget? What a giveaway? Now I see something for the kiddies, and
• 3:23
  I, hey, hey, what is that? Matt? Kitten is the
• 3:25
  pet of doctor Brederick of the Physics Laboratory. And I assure you you cannot
• 3:29
  give that away. I don't wanna give the kitten away. I just want
• 3:32
  a little heart throb on the show for the youngsters. Here, kitty,
• 3:36

• 7:45
  Mister John Hannold, Mister John Hannold, she's down, mister Hanold.
• 8:01
  My breakticed medical eye, judging from the smile on your face, tells me
• 8:05
  that you're pretty happy that missus Hanold is being released from the hospital today.
• 8:09
  Oh not only that, doctor, don't tell me. I haven't heard of
• 8:11
  my other good piece of luck and I want on her husband calling me for
• 8:13
  hours before I left for the hospital, and not a good piece of luck.
• 8:16
  No, I haven't heard why. I went on fabulous prizes on the
• 8:18
  giveaway show, including ten thousand dollars That means you bill is going to be
• 8:24
  paid. But I also got a trip to Paris the mechanical man and what
• 8:26
  knows, well, that's wonderful. I congratulate you. However, I think
• 8:30
  I will forget that trip to Paris for a while. In fact, wait
• 8:33
  a few hours before telling Missus Hanold about your good fortune. But why don't
• 8:37
  you, mister Hanold? After your wife's illness, she suffered her a nervous
• 8:41
  breakdown. She became mentally unstable. But she's pretty good now thanks to what
• 8:46
  the hospital has done. However, when you take her home, she must
• 8:50
  finish his returning to her normal life and winning ten thousand dollars prizes. Isn't
• 8:54
  time normal? I see? The main thing we wonder avoid is a relapse.
• 9:00
  You have a few neighbors who can drop in and see how now I'm
• 9:03
  then, Well, there's missus Bardon Virginia Barton. She lives in the apartment
• 9:07
  next to us on our floor. As yes, your wife mentioned the occasionally
• 9:11
  do they get along one? I think so? Why nothing? I just
• 9:16
  wondered, Well, Missus Hannrold's waiting for you. I know you're very anxious
• 9:20
  to get her home. Nourse, have Missus Harold come in please? I
• 9:24
  think in another month or so she'll be fine. Oh, yes she is
• 9:28
  now. Hello, Missus Hamiel married darling. Am I glad to see you?
• 9:31
  Hello John, Hello doctor? What did I tell you? Doesn't she
• 9:35
  look fine? How? I say, certainly does? John? How good
• 9:39
  it is to be going home. I'm as excited as the school goes.

• 10:00
  doctor. All right here, let's go. Let's you call O time?
• 10:16
  John. I can hardly believe. Well the doctor drew me to wait until
• 10:18
  they got home before telling you ten thousand dollars and the trips of Paris think
• 10:22
  of it? Do? I hope we can take it in the summer during
• 10:24
  my vacation and the mechanical place, John, where will we put it?
• 10:30
  No? Wait, honey, you're not supposed to get excited. Oh boy,
• 10:33
  who can help us? It's crazy things they give away. Oh,
• 10:37
  I'll see who it is? Hello John? Oh, hello Virginia. Who
• 10:43
  Why it's uh uh it's Virginia. Nay, I just had to come and
• 10:48
  tell you how wonderful it is your being back and all those wonderful parties.
• 10:52
  It was very nice of you to come in Virginia and thank you for the
• 10:56
  supper you've prepared for my homecoming. Now we've delighted to Darling when John asks
• 11:01
  the son asks you two, well, yes, he was so happy you
• 11:05
  were coming back. But y'all know thet Mary's being home cost for a celebration.
• 11:09
  Can't we have a drink? Huh? I don't know, Virginia,
• 11:11
  Marriy's supposed to get rest, say, oh, why I supposed one sip?
• 11:15
  One hurt? But I could go out and get something though. I
• 11:18
  I'll bet that Jennaling, when you get your prizes, I'll have cause to
• 11:24
  be jealous of him. Cigarette. No thanks jealous? Why well, you'll
• 11:31
  have two men, John and the rovers. Poor little me, a bachelor
• 11:35
  gual all alone. And you know I I really think you ought to give
• 11:39
  me one of the hoops one would you like to Darling with a stilly question.
• 11:45
  The mechanical man, of course he doesn't drop ashes all the rods here
• 11:48
  and wash the dishes and put out the cat. You'll never I never ride
• 11:52
  in to me, I knew the serious. What did you expect me to
• 11:56
  be? I don't understand that I do. In the hospital, I began
• 12:01
  to understand a lot of things. I know the doctors thought something happened to
• 12:07
  my mind. But all that happened was that it became very clear, very
• 12:13
  sharp. Huh. And for the first time I began to think clear,
• 12:20
  Darling, I I think there's excitement's been too much for you. I shouldn't
• 12:24
  have come in because I was here? Is that why you shouldn't have come
• 12:28
  in? You're wrong, Marry. Everything you're thinking is wrong. John would
• 12:31
  come to the hospital only once a day, but he would work. Some
• 12:33
  days he wouldn't come at all. And you know he has to go out
• 12:37
  of town on business one. You all, I know many things. I
• 12:41
  would lie in my hospital bed and the shadows would whisper to me it was
• 12:46
  Dad, it is John. Now while you lie in an anti septic bed
• 12:52
  in the hospital room that is as cold as a surgeon's nice catting your memory
• 12:58
  to tea you fright me. St' go John will be back in a moment.
• 13:05
  I I have a headache. I got to go. What well John
• 13:09
  said? And you are not here you you were a darling, You pull
• 13:13
  a sick mom, you know, a stalk out. I'll leave virgin,
• 13:20
  lead me alone. But I'm not alone as I was in the hospital.
• 13:26
  I'm home. I'm my home, and I'll marry you. Name enus to
• 13:31
  kill you, if if only I could think of all to do it?
• 13:50
  And I wrote, what quite a guy, isn't it? He looks something
• 13:52
  like the tin woodman of our But I used to read about how i'd write.
• 13:56
  You know, but they can do any of the things they said on
• 13:58
  that program. Oh my guess is there to sell him for Junker? Give
• 14:01
  him away to some kids. Now, let's see the direction said turn on
• 14:05
  the racket switch for power and then just talking to the microphone. Use simple
• 14:11
  phrases and precise instructions. Well, what's I tell him to do? He's
• 14:15
  your boyfriend. Tell him tell you to move the green chair about two feet
• 14:18
  back in the corner. Okay, more, green chair back two feet into
• 14:24
  corner. So he's walking. That's the dardest thing I ever saw. Well
• 14:37
  he did it, and he's gonna be all right. Does he have a
• 14:41
  name? A name? I hope he's chilling. He must have a name.
• 14:43
  He's almost like a person. Ask you what does he talk to?
• 14:48
  What is your name? Your name? Do you have a name. Let's
• 14:54
  see he can't talk to. Ask him a question, tell him to tell
• 14:58
  you do it the direction to tell me your name? Ay? And then
• 15:05
  uh road about twenty the road about twenty three. And it gives me the
• 15:11
  creeps. Oh, it's wonder well what I do? You can't stand there
• 15:16
  staring at us. There's nothing for him to do around here. The poker,
• 15:18
  that steal poker in the fireplace, and what about it? He looks
• 15:22
  dongue. Tell him, tell him to bend it. Bend it, Mary,
• 15:26
  that's solid steel. He's just a tim toilet with electronic or please John,
• 15:31
  tell him what's honey. He'll probably get a short circuit or something straining
• 15:33
  himself. Then we will up to junk him. Oh alright, alright,
• 15:37
  bend poker there, bend steal poker. I see, just pick it up,
• 15:50
  but nothing's happening. Banded band it? You see I took good lord?
• 15:58
  Will you then being a steal as if it were happy? And did
• 16:04
  you see that? Why? It's almost as it way as if he threw
• 16:07
  it down. Disdaining of showing off. Why didn't you tell him off?
• 16:14
  He's dangerous, Mary, dangerous and frightening. I'm gonna dismain now. No,
• 16:18
  wait, don't get so excited about it. You know what the doctor
• 16:21
  said. Don't take manderling John le alright, alright, alright, alright,
• 16:25
  you insist. Remember Mary, you're not to give him any orders except when
• 16:29
  I'm home. Darling. I wouldn't do anything that wouldn't be right for me.
• 16:48
  Two o'clock, almost four hours until John comes home. Lock the door
• 16:56
  and now to make him come to life again. M speak to me,

  happened? What is it? I rang your doorbell a few minutes ago.
• 20:22
  One of Mary's packages had been delivered to me by mistake. She came to
• 20:26
  the door. Yes, she acted very strangely, particularly when I asked about
• 20:30
  the mechanical man, the robin. Well, what do you mean, Virginia,
• 20:34
  strangely? Oh, she wouldn't let me come in and look at him.
• 20:37
  She said he he didn't love me. Why she was in a strange
• 20:42
  well, a strange mental state. Johnn are you sure she's all right?
• 20:48
  Virginia? Listen, the robot wasn't moving or or doing anything? Was it?
• 20:49
  Not that I could notice? But Mary's attitude and her aunt remards I
• 20:53
  knew I shouldn't have accepted that ten monster. Well, I'll get home as
• 20:57
  soon as I can. Virginia, thanks for calling, you know, but
• 21:12
  doctor rodn't glad. This is John Hanold. Oh, yes, miss a
• 21:17
  neighbor just called me. Mary's acting strangely. I'm worried. I don't understand,
• 21:21
  Stanald. We won some prizes on a TV show a few days ago,
• 21:25
  and one of them was a mechanical man, a robot. Oh,
• 21:26
  yes, you told me about him, Robert, my opinion is a dangerous
• 21:30
  gadget. Well. Anyway, one of the neighbors reported that Mary is talking
• 21:33
  strangely about it. I wonder if you could meet me at the apartment.
• 21:37
  You know it'll take me about happening hour to get there, mister Hanold,
• 21:38
  I hope you'll forgive me, but you've got to expect that neighbors, with
• 21:42
  all the good will in the world, tend to exaggerate the exactions of the
• 21:47
  people whom they've not have been mentally ill. I'm sure there's nothing to be
• 21:52
  alarmed about. Yes, the doctor. This neighbor is a good friend and
• 21:55
  an intelligent woman. I've had a lot of experience in these matters, mister
• 22:00
  Yeah, I have a to ease your mind. I'll try to drop over
• 22:03
  sometime this evening on in the morning, but I have a talk about it.
• 22:06
  I'm in the meeting now. Well, all right, doctor, if
• 22:11
  you say so, thanks very much. Hello, or Virginia. It is
• 22:27
  a John, Yes, John, I just spoke to the doctor. He
• 22:30
  thinks there's nothing to worry about. But well, I wonder if you do
• 22:34
  me a great favorite, of course, John, what is it. I've
• 22:37
  got a few things here to clean up at the desk, so I can't
• 22:40
  get home right away. I wonder if you go in and stay with Mary
• 22:42
  until I get there. But John, I frankly on the little fright.
• 22:48
  That's silly Virginia. After all, what can happen? The door again?

  you for a while. Why Why do you want to visit with me?
• 23:27
  Why, Darnie, I'm your neighbor, and I thought it would be very
• 23:30
  nice if we had teas. Don't you want me to come in? Mary?
• 23:37
  Yes, yes, I do want you to come in. Just come
• 23:40

  wh can you please please stop crying? What happens? What happens? Mary?
• 24:55
  Excuse me, mister lord, but I think I can tell you what
• 24:56
  happened At a trigger one of the men who built that robot I gave your
• 25:02
  apartment, hopingly persuade you to return the robot with a dreadful commotion inside,
• 25:07
  called it Patoma in the corner, and we forced away again. The robot
• 25:10
  was more controlled this young lady here. I tried to get away. Whenever
• 25:15
  I read it, I shut off the control dogs and stopped the robt.
• 25:21
  May you wanted to kill me? John? Kill me? Doctor? I've
• 25:29
  given her sent to mister Hanld. I'll take her back to the hospital in
• 25:32
  a few hours. All of this excitement, however, I'm sure she'll be
• 25:37
  all right in another month. Ago would she try to kill me. She
