  Speaker 7: what my pants leg has got to do with it.

  Speaker 8: Mind if I said, well, yes, everyone nowadays pulls up
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: his pants leg when he sits down like this keeps
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: the trousers from bagging at the knees.

  Speaker 8: your vacation entirele.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: That's impossible, of course.

• 7:09
  Speaker 8: all the tensions of an unpleasant rite.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: War, insecurity, fear sins.
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: I suppose you were a scientist working on a dangerous
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: bomb project.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Oh you were, missus Travis.
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: Suppose you were a bacteriologist working on disease cultures, and.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: You had a chance to escape all that. To take
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: a vacation two hundred years in the past.
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: Would be wonderful, wouldn't it, escape to a more peaceful world,
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: a trip back to nineteen and fifty nineteen fifty.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: But you said a vacation in the past, so I did.
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: But you see, nineteen fifty is the past if you
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: come from the year twenty one fifty.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Five, twenty five, terrible.
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: Times, most unpleasant, the war, raging and atomic bacteriological war,
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: terrible times with none of the little comforts we enjoy today,
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: like this fine havana cigar.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Bill.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: I want to go upstairs I want to lie down.
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: If you were living then, think of how wonderful it
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: would be to take a vacation in time back to now.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: You're crazy. I don't know what you're talking about.
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: Suppose a young couple like yourselves took a trip to
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: nineteen hundred and fifty didn't want to come back. You
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: know what would happen. The government sends us search a
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: back to look for them. This is all fantastic. Nurser
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: such a.
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: Finds them and brings them back. Do you think I'll
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: find my two friends? Mister Travill, Please take me upstairs.
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: I don't feel well.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: It's the lady feeling a bit sake. Oh for Jerry,

• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Bill? What are you doing?
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Shoving a chair and the door?
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: He knows he has been following us, Bill, he's a.
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: Search you keep quiet soon. I want to think they'll
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: take us back. That isn't over yet.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, got a headache.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I'll get you in aspirin. What will they do to us?
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: I don't know what they'll do to us. Something slipped,
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: Something must have slipped so careful. The searchers are trained
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: to watch for detail, things like not pulling up my trousers.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: I started him thinking, there is a man who isn't
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: used to ancient clothes.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Could kill myself of giving it away. It was my walk.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Bill. I won't go back.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I won't go on filling tubes with typhoid and bubonic play.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Take it easy.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: There must be some way we don't have to go
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: back to twenty one fifty five, do we the.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: Nervous that's Sims sitting there looking us up and down
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: like animals, smoking those stinking cigars.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: How I first noticed him in Tasco, he had four
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: bottles of liqueurs and a pile of chocolate.
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: Well he still hasn't gotten owhere that first greedy hunger.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: We've got to look out for that. So it's the
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: sure sign of somebody from the future trying to make
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: up for a lifetime of shortage is by stuffing themselves sick.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Remember our first.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Night, Bill, I can't stand it. We've got to get
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: out of here.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: What are you doing, Packy getting this suitcase out? That's
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: no use.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: You mean we can get to act a polka by morning?
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Do you think he's watching us.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: We could get away.
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: No, No, we've got to sit tight. We've got to
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: wait right here for a break. I don't know what,
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: but something has got to break.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Break.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: No, No, maybe he isn't sure of us yet. Maybe
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: we can still figure out some way to escape. Come on, now,
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: we better try to get some sleep.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: No, Nah, I won't go back security police.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: The bomb the ball was full, No matter. Soon, wake
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: up where we Bill, I'll carry down? Honey, you were
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: dreaming now? It's all right, Bill?
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: Where are we?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: I was still in nineteen thirty? It's all right, I
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: must have.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: It was awful, Bill, Bill. There was an explosion, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: terrible explosion in my hand, burned and wrinkled, and the
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: building's broke.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: Bill.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: Then we won't go back there? Will we ever go
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: to sleep?
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: It's all right. We're in Mexico, nineteen fifty and we're
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: going to stay here. Yeah. Soon.
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: I've been lying awake here thinking that may be that
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: he's still testing us, but he's not absolutely certain. That
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: may be why he hasn't moved.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Maybe he's just playing with us.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, maybe I wouldn't put that past him. Needed he's
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: got all the time in the world.
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: He can stay here as long as he likes, then
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: bring us back to the future sixty seconds after we
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: left it.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Hey, they can't make a scene, can they. They don't
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: dare come out in the open.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: No, No, that might change the future. I're afraid of that.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: If we could only tell somebody ask for help, I sue.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: You know we can't.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: That's why we had to submit to the psychological block
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: treatment before they okayed our vacation. We couldn't tell if
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: we tried. The block is too strong.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Maybe we can break it down.
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: And what if we did? Who'd believe a crazy story
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: like us? Who would believe that we come from twenty
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: one to fifty five? No, sir, that would do no good.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: But this is important. They have to get us alone,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: to put us in the time machine, to send us back.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Then that's it. We'll never be alone. It's still fester time.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: It'll be easy to stay in the crosses.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: Yes, that's our only chance. We must not let him
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: get us alone. He won't get us back to that
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: war in that insane world of it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Bill, it could be the room clerk at three in
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: the morning.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: I'm better answering.
