Latest / 2000 Plus / 2000 Plus - The Insect
Transcript
- 0:00I have received word of a strange invention. What it can do will amaze
- 0:06Sians and strike terror to the world two thousand plus Bryan's Fits of Adventures from
- 0:15the World with Tomorrow the Years Beyond two thousand eighty. Two thousand plus presents
- 0:22the insects. Oh, it's wonderful, nose, darling. It means I'll
- 0:39probably get that research appointment at the Universe. No, I can hardly believe
- 0:43it. Gil, here's the telegraph of the Beanis Siens himself. I'll take
- 0:46a jet plane in about two hours and be there on plenty of time for
- 0:49my meeting this afternoon. I know I'll get a bottom of champagne and they'll
- 0:53telebrate a dinner tonight. Well that's nice, but I'm not sure i'll be
- 0:56home for dinner the meeting mayor on. Maybe I'll have to stay overnight,
- 0:59take the plane back of the morning. Well, they don't have Sampie the
- 1:02bastic. Well, it's not work too much. I've got to gather my
- 1:06papers and things that I'm gonna get to the airport in time. You'd better
- 1:08help me in the laboratory. Oh, now Lord, The life of a
- 1:14budding scientific Geniue shouldn't act like that. But I'm frightened, and I don't
- 1:19nonsense. They haven't hurt you. No, I can understand anything that's wright
- 1:23out of your life. I've got to have help with these purpose. What
- 1:26do you want me to do? Cancel the meeting because my wife is a
- 1:27fag of the work I'm doing. I'm sorry, Darling, It's just all
- 1:32right, all right, I'm trying to do with myself. I don't be
- 1:34angry, jord. If they were ordinary, and that's time one that maybe
- 1:40it was a difference. Even with what I've done to them. They're not
- 1:42so big. So I've taken a spider, a house flying a wasp,
- 1:47and by means of my growth ray, I've made them larger. The spiner
- 1:49still is any bigger than my fist. The house squire is about as large
- 1:53as a pack of cigarettes lost no bigger than the golf ball. They're not
- 1:57giants, but they look up. Even that be easier to observe and study.
- 2:02That's why the university is interested in my work. With a long term
- 2:06appointment and the grant to amplify the growth ray, and maybe I can really
- 2:09increase the size of the insects. Imagine a fly as big as a horse.
- 2:15That would be some horsefly. Hey that's a joke. Oh right,
- 2:21good, I'll help you. It's only the papers who are packing. You
- 2:24won't have to go near the insect cages now hand it goes are poisonous insects?
- 2:43Right? Do you do you have any poisons? One? Now?
- 2:47Only Sam the spider. He isn't really glass caged by those books. Maybe
- 2:53if you'd look, you wouldn't have such ridiculous ideas. Sam is a nice
- 2:58guy, just lots and stairs. It's like a wise old man. I
- 3:02look at the Oh those late Okay, okay, now the note of please,
- 3:09hey, hey, hey, hey, be careful. Then that machine
- 3:13is very delicate. He almost touched it. Oh the girlfriend, Uh,
- 3:17I don't want that running while I'm gone, though, though I can't wait
- 3:21to get out of here. Oh let's see now I've got everything. Yep.
- 3:25Well, that doesn't come on after you meet Tetta stricken duty. You
- 3:38know, I hope when we get to the university, if I get the
- 3:39appointment, you'll keep your disgust of insects to yourself. Life is supposed to
- 3:46build up her husband's work faculty. Why do that all the time. Don't
- 3:50do it. I just can't help the way I see Sam should really be
- 3:53said while I'm gone, stop it. I'm not going in there. Oh
- 3:59no, all right, what about Peter house flying. He's not poison these
- 4:03people your insects. When you get home now, hurry up, George will
- 4:08be late. Sure, well, goodbye? Oh George, I don't want
- 4:15you to leave, and your impnoyed you like that. I'm sorry, Darling.
- 4:19I really love you, but I love my insects too. Just a
- 4:38minute, I mean, hello, missus. Martin's here the groceries you water?
- 4:43Hello, gl right in here? Okay, won't please? I what
- 4:49the oranges are better at the time than they were last? Oh, mister
- 4:53Gilheimer said to tell you that these oranges are swelled. Well, I'll know
- 4:57when I squeeze him for breakfast. Thank you bell. Oh it's a mister
- 5:01martinhome, Miss Martin, No, he isn't Bill. Why well, he
- 5:05was gonna show me his bugs. You don't want to look at them?
- 5:10Put mere DRAMs for I find them very interesting, mister Martin said, he
- 5:13take me into a lad today. That's why I delivered your orders first.
- 5:16I was anxious to see them. Oh, mister Martin recalled a gray.
- 5:19Suddenly he got a telegram and had to leave almost at once. But you'll
- 5:24be home tomorrow. See tomorrow. I've got to work at the other store,
- 5:29one on North Street. Well in a few days, then, spose
- 5:32we'll still be here, bill, missus Martin, wo'll be too much trouble
- 5:36if you let me peek at them. I never go into mister Martin's laboratory.
- 5:42I won't hurt me. Then just peek a we're looking forward to pay
- 5:46build that laboratory. You wait till mister Martin gets home. Sure, Missus
- 5:51Martin, you say so. Don't look so drum. It's what you man
- 5:59see. And those revolting creatures, I'll never know. They're scary, they're
- 6:02so big. I feel funny way I look at them, and mister Martin
- 6:08explains about science and stuff, and it's really interesting. Would you like to
- 6:13do a scientist doll? I sure would. Well, I suppose I ought
- 6:18to be encourage it. I won't get him in, but you can teach.
- 6:24You know where the gary is. Oh, thanks, missus Martin,
- 6:26thanks very much, but don't touch anything. I will got to put very
- 6:41well. Oh oh, no more I saw it before. Listen to the
- 7:02last time. We don't know this. It's stood high. What is it?
- 7:12Out of the eyes in the front. What do you think wing?
- 7:19It got wings? It can giant kill it. It does. Get out
- 7:30of here. Mm hmm. We must get out of here. Yeah,
- 7:38walk backwards. Keep your eyes on it. It looks like like a moth,
- 7:51a giant moth. Watch it flies up quick, both for it.
- 8:01I can't down. It's enjoying its wings. Let's know what should we do?
- 8:20I don't know. Let's let's move it recorder, but at chair we
- 8:26can clutch down behind it. Now you'll just keep you watch it now,
- 8:56mister Martin, I'm very interested in your growth ray as the science. I
- 9:00want to be certain that this university encourages brilliant young scholars were experimenting in new
- 9:05fields of reserve. I understand. At the same time, I must be
- 9:07satisfied that the research would be of fundamental value. Yes, sir, Now,
- 9:11who suppose you've thought for a while, tell me about your work.
- 9:15Well. I have always been interested in the effect of environment on organisms.
- 9:20I now the environmental practice to universal conditions applicable to all organisms. Examples the
- 9:26air temperature, humidity, light, and so forth. And then I approached
- 9:31each of these conditions from the point of view of its specific effects on organisms.
- 9:37I discovered that the presence or absence of light gave me the widest variance
- 9:41of reaction or excuse me, in what way the widest variance when the effect
- 9:46on physical growth change adaptationality? You see. So, because light is a
- 9:52general term, I broke its definition down into all known ways infrared, ultra
- 9:58violet, and so forth, and study reactions of organisms to those rays in
- 10:01every conceivable combination. Now that's too is I evolved the theory that if certain
- 10:07rays could be combined electronically and concentrated on living organisms for specified periods of time,
- 10:16their growth would be greatly stimulated. And you have constructed such a machine.
- 10:20Yes, I have the electrodynas spectrum, the growth ray machine. What
- 10:24have you accomplished with its silver I've multiplied the growth of certain insects many times.
- 10:30My present machine is small and homemade, and its power is not too
- 10:33great. But so far I've increased the size of a fly to that of
- 10:35a pack of cigarettes, the size of a spider to that of my fist.
- 10:39Of what kind of spider transler. It's a very dangerous and poisonous insect
- 10:45to work with. While being a tropical spiderray, it might be more receptive
- 10:48to light. Its size has tripled. Kill me, mister Martin. What
- 10:52did the aptimum increase in size that you've so far obtained about eight times with
- 10:56the fly? The size increase varies with the insect says, A lot of
- 11:01research yet to dam as soon as I can see. Your work certainly excites
- 11:05the imagination. Think of your having the kind of equipment that will burn at
- 11:09a twenty to fifty hundred or even a thousand fold increase in an insect size.
- 11:13Imagine an insect large enough to attack and devour a human being. Imagine
- 11:18this university needing lion cages to contain its giant insect. Well, there's no
- 11:24limit to what new things we could learn about all manner of ordain. This
- 11:28is with the growth rate, not just insects. That's right, mister Martin.
- 11:31I'd like it to stay on another few hours so that we can talk
- 11:35some more. I'd be very happy, and perhaps you like it on your
- 11:37wife that you'll be a bit late. Thank you, sir. You can
- 11:39use the phone in the other office, and mister Martin, Yes, when
- 11:43she asks you how everything's going, you TELEVI it's going. Justify still sitting
- 11:58there looking at us, the most little thing I ever did, six of
- 12:05the high those giant waves. How does he get here? Missus Martin?
- 12:13The mouth of growth ring must have begun marking it, give up a light
- 12:16glow. The mother must have seen it blown toward it must have seen us.
- 12:22But eyes the biggest dinner plates. Maybe it's swimming. Then it will
- 12:31come towards us, little curded kill us. Then, don't be don't fight
- 12:37that croucht lorn this chairful. My gotta get out of here. The doors
- 12:46locked, But isn't there some other way out? Only the window behind the
- 12:50lock? Yes, the window locked. I can't see the shade is wrong
- 12:54yet, Yes, the window is locked. Gunshi it dollably? Why getting
- 13:00out the corner of the room done? What would you do? Maybe the
- 13:03round of the window, pull up the shade. I love the window,
- 13:05Get out and that set me alone with it. The monsters cut your home.
- 13:11What do we do? I don't know. W mister Martin come home
- 13:13this afternoon tonight, maybe not until tomorrow. The boon maybe that's mister Martin
- 13:22corner, but you don't answer. Maybe you'll come home. Oh no,
- 13:26he'll think I'm not shopping visits. This is Mike the moss. Stop moving
- 13:31the sween fuck right else at this corner. I better, here's the telephone,
- 13:37e scars, there's my fire which call you home. I doesn't even
- 13:46realize something that's happened. I didn't he call the neighbors of the police.
- 13:52Why didn't you come, missus Martin? I think it's fun of flying.
- 13:54Oh we don't. I don't know. It was chillous if I've heard the
- 13:58phones. But it's why it cuts down to get as much petition from the
- 14:03tail as possible and scream yeah, anything can make noise. Okay, okay,
- 14:11oh why just yes? Maybe? Okay both the bonus. Yes,
- 14:26let's be quiet like a nightmare thing George Tuning, you do, I hate
- 14:43these? Get to build a laboratorian as hole. Oh a place in the
- 14:54room of Why am I here? Why a thing? The trap d here?
- 15:03But it's because I hated Georgia's group? Was it because I refused to
- 15:07help him with the creatures? The mom body is like a wormy correctly right,
- 15:28this I I'm scared. Sorry, I'm what you gonna do? It
- 15:45was my love that the walls is feelings, the vires, the window,
- 15:56the widow fall up the sun some mind blidon grat the that theid, the
- 16:10pison doing across the floor by the sofa, the giant bot sitting on the
- 16:17bookshelf and on the floor like us out ball of death, the fider.
- 16:27That's all right where it is. To Martin, I am delighted to see
- 16:41you. The Dean fall and said you were coming over. I think I
- 16:45am the last member of the fact that the committee wanted to see or sit
- 16:48down. True, Thank you, Professor Bodley. Yes, I have been
- 16:51going all after know from one appointment and the other, and happy to talk
- 16:55with you. The Dean is quite excited about your start. Should know.
- 16:57Yes, I'm very pleased about that. Uh, Professor Bucker. I hope
- 17:02you won't take me rude at the beginning of our meeting, but I wonder
- 17:03if I might use your phone now. Of course, mister Martin, he's
- 17:07something wrong. No, I don't think so. But I phoned my wife
- 17:10several times until I was staying on all afternoon, and there's been no answer
- 17:14for I'm sure there's nothing wrong, but what means call the phone is right
- 17:18there? Thank you? Please, I like you eight four five seventy two
- 17:22and reverse the charges. Leave, Thank you. M It doesn't seem to
- 17:38be any answer. Well let's do it two more times. There is no
- 17:52answer. Shall I keep trying? Yes, but poastly crying. I call
- 17:56you, sir, thank you. I can't understand it. It's not like
- 18:02Betty to be away so long. The boats still there, missus, mark
- 18:18still there. I saw the spider last week. The big is mister Martin.
- 18:26I walk into the glass cage. I could see the hair on its
- 18:30legs. Results mister Markin showed me its where lights and kits with the poisons
- 18:40stop at the top. I'm sorry, Martin. I can't stop looking at
- 18:48them. They don't bite the sun lights. That's why they're on the room
- 18:53is flooded with hud lights and the shade went up. Is this going to
- 18:57be hard this year? Can give us the protection from me? Why the
- 19:02mark is too big? Did get out of here? But the spider it
- 19:06can screw around the frock under the chair. I'll take off my shoes,
- 19:10setting your hair with it. It comes now you take one of them.
- 19:15Look trying to fly again. But I sn the spider. You know her
- 19:23too, I don't know you ain't coming the walls, the spiteriter. I
- 19:37don't know somewhere to win. It's a fine spiders. Did you can't just
- 20:15there? Ist no answers? There shall I keep trying. I got I'll
- 20:19qull it back. Ask for operator at thirty four, sir, thank you?
- 20:23No answer that, no, sir. Of course I did tell Benny
- 20:27that I might be later. He can stay over night. She made gondo
- 20:30mother's It was a real pleasure of finding a young man who cares that much
- 20:33for his wife. I suppose this is not feel the same way about you.
- 20:37Oh that is wonderful. I'm sure she is. After all, not
- 20:40many women would approve their husband's inventing machines that make insects larger. You've got
- 20:45a rare wife, mister Martin, one who doesn't object the giant insects in
- 20:48the house. Keep the shoe Tighten your hand, you see the spider.
- 21:03It's hard, yes, ma'am, I will my hands trembling to Martin,
- 21:15I thought, that's very interesting. Oh you mustn't still, because I could
- 21:18have a strip of water the most if that comes strangely, Yeah, but
- 21:26it's steelers are color red and its body, Oh that's disgusting. Worlds flabby
- 21:36all of a sudden, trupy it flies. They look different too. I
- 21:41don't know why, but somehow that yet that you're right. Huh oh,
- 21:56it's only the hand of your spirit touching my legs for the spider. Why
- 22:26well, mister Martin, the term satisfactory to him. Oh, yes,
- 22:29sir, very much so, thank you, sir. It's very to be
- 22:30a great pleasure having you at the university, and I know that you find
- 22:34your association with us a real incentive for carrying on your work with a growth.
- 22:38Y. I'm sure of that. I'll do my very Bestiny credit the
- 22:41university and the scientific with said, my boy, it's time for you to
- 22:45leave if you want to catch the sixth ten and be home and tell your
- 22:47wife. You just get home and you find that there's an explanation for why
- 22:51she didn't answer the phone all day. I'm sure you're right. Thank you,
- 22:53Gandin, thank you very much. Feel better now, missus Michael,
- 23:10I said they I'm always cried out a tear lest missus Michael I'm gonna try
- 23:17to reach the window, the window, the marks back on the couch.
- 23:21I think I can make a run through the window once I pushed the chair
- 23:23aside. Of who might attacked you? Maybe you won't do so? Sixte
- 23:32fine, what would happened to either? If you give a taut the life?
- 23:37Do they have keys? Chris? Really? George? Also things,
- 23:44George? But no exactly. I had a whole group of clord ruins last
- 23:47year. Some pounds. I'm bided. No, I don't know what to
- 23:56say. I gotta try our crouched down, push the chair out, a
- 24:00little sweep by between the chair and the wall, and make a dash for
- 24:03the window. A chair pushed aside. Now give me my shoes. Okay,
- 24:14this is Mark, all right, go I'm here. I'll try to
- 24:21unlock the window. But now the moment that a way? That a way
- 24:26you're going? Anyway? There are you? All right? There? No
- 25:07one home? Lights? Raw? That's better. That's Betty, of God,
- 25:14Betty Bey you're here? Hey? Where are you? Good? Slamp
- 25:29with a key? Yea, oh my darling, it was bet if my
- 25:42wasn't said look at that. I can't believe it. It's dead mm hmm,
- 26:00bell, bell, bell, Well, mister last, get down the
- 26:14fire. Let's get out to get fast, all right, So down bell,
- 26:22but heaven's safe. What happened? Down and I'll get you a drink?
- 26:29You are now now tell me? But they door snap behind the master.
- 26:40You must we thought we'd die, and I thought, I don't do
- 26:47that. I'll find a spider and kill it. But as for the more,
- 26:53darling, the spine, its signs you had nothing to fear. Huh,
- 27:00will you see, darling? The adult mouth doesn't eat. It has
- 27:03no mouth, nothing your attack could kill with despite its size. Tricophaga tap
- 27:08it cellar. The clothes mark is subtly harmless. Wouldn't yes? You think
- 27:17you could have just suited away and opened the windowf of course, dear.
- 27:22The reason it's dead, and why you could have waited without worry is that
- 27:26a moth cannot live more than six hours in sunlight. The suvior almost horror
- 27:33was unnecessary. Next week a strange drummer of a silver rocket and an unseen
