- 6:08Speaker 8: from Mars broadcast that Austin Wells did. A thousand people
- 6:12Speaker 8: will swear they saw the monsters.
- 6:14Speaker 10: I don't know.
- 6:15Speaker 6: I'm all confused.
- 6:16Speaker 8: Well, let's look at it this way to be. Maybe
- 6:20Speaker 8: you've had enough. No what you've been on the city
- 6:23Speaker 8: desk twenty five years now? That makes you uh, let
- 6:26Speaker 8: me see fifty.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Five fifty four? While are you driving out, mister Colby?
- 6:30Speaker 8: I mean maybe you ought to retire.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Retire.
- 6:33Speaker 8: We need new people, new ideas. I've been thinking about
- 6:36Speaker 8: it for some time now. With the social security you'd get.
- 6:41Speaker 2: About twenty bucks.
- 6:43Speaker 6: Fine, now you listen, I brought this paper into the
- 6:47Speaker 6: world and it's going to take me out. I was
- 6:49Speaker 6: on that city desk before you ever heard of a
- 6:51Speaker 6: stick of type. Then you come along and marry a
- 6:53Speaker 6: publisher's daughter, Anstey. Enough, I made a mistake, Okay, anybody
- 6:59Speaker 6: can make a missas take.
- 7:01Speaker 2: I still think there's something in this story. Sweeney's been
- 7:04Speaker 2: around too long to blow on like this, even when
- 7:07Speaker 2: he's drunk. He's a better newspaper man than most.
- 7:09Speaker 8: I'm sorry. Effective today, you're relieved. The city editor Sandford
- 7:14Speaker 8: will take over Sanford way as great as graft. If
- 7:17Speaker 8: you want to stay on in some minor jobs, such
- 7:19Speaker 8: as how about science editor? Sigh and said you can
- 7:25Speaker 8: have the office right next to mine. It'll pay the rent.
- 7:32Speaker 10: Well, I don't know. I don't know what I'll do,
- 7:37Speaker 10: but on the city desk so long.
- 7:38Speaker 8: Or maybe it's too much excitement for a man. Your
- 7:40Speaker 8: aid stop writing me off, will you.
- 7:43Speaker 2: I'm sick.
- 7:44Speaker 10: I'm fifty four. A man at fifty.
- 7:48Speaker 8: Four is no longer a boy.
- 7:51Speaker 10: I don't know. Maybe I am losing the grip. Gotta
- 7:54Speaker 10: go somewhere and think it.
- 7:55Speaker 8: Over all, right, and I mean take your time.
- 7:59Speaker 10: I'll be cross this treated Burley's Bar. If you need me,
- 8:02Speaker 10: I'll let you know before the bulldog hits the streets.

- 9:33Speaker 5: who watched this whole thing happen.
- 9:35Speaker 8: Pop burly whurly, Why why everybody?
- 9:38Speaker 2: Why?
- 9:39Speaker 8: Quiet were you?
- 9:41Speaker 4: How do you do?
- 9:43Speaker 9: Gentlemen?
- 9:44Speaker 7: I can assure you my small stature belies the magnitude

- 9:52Speaker 8: He's a genius, Papa, full time genius.

- 9:58Speaker 2: man away and don't bother me.
- 10:00Speaker 7: Your friend isn't very polite, mister Sweeney. Perhaps one day
- 10:04Speaker 7: he will learn that even the most insignificant man has
- 10:06Speaker 7: a sense of dignity and personal worth.
- 10:09Speaker 10: I apologize, professor, I'm not such you.
- 10:12Speaker 2: It should have made a headed friend, Sweeney.

- 10:32Speaker 4: Tell him about it gladly.
- 10:36Speaker 7: My contribution has been awaiting worldwide recognition for many years now. Unfortunately,
- 10:42Speaker 7: there are some who insist I am insane. I's see
- 10:45Speaker 7: that h Being small of stature, as you can see,
- 10:49Speaker 7: I chose to nurse my resentment rather than to take
- 10:52Speaker 7: positive measures. However, I feel now the world is ready
- 10:56Speaker 7: to come to terms with Hannibal Perkweaters.
- 11:00Speaker 10: Can you or can you not explain this Grant's tomb business?
- 11:04Speaker 7: Naturally, it can all be explained quite simply in terms
- 11:10Speaker 7: of the pert Wee system of infinite acceleration and transportational
- 11:14Speaker 7: facilitation is applied to fretage. I've been trying to sell
- 11:18Speaker 7: it to the railroads for ten years.

- 11:42Speaker 7: of a cigar box.

- 12:31Speaker 5: Pop is losing his grit. I hate Ah, don't take

- 21:28Speaker 7: I've been branching out. Well I really must be going.
- 21:31Speaker 9: Thank you very much.
- 21:35Speaker 14: Eh he's as looney as a beat. Well, the geniuses

- 21:56Speaker 6: So this time he had three other modules. So what
- 22:01Speaker 6: nothing except they happened to be models of the Empire
- 22:05Speaker 6: State Penn Station and the United States Post Office.

- 22:59Speaker 6: Just you come along with us. We're gonna have a
- 23:01Speaker 6: little talk. Take him up the office, Eni, Pop, What
- 23:06Speaker 6: for the taxi?
- 23:06Speaker 2: What the taxi?
- 23:08Speaker 9: If you look at the curb, you'll find your taxi.
- 23:12Speaker 8: Jumping saints.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Pop, look at it.
- 23:15Speaker 7: Now, gentlemen, perhaps the world will believe in the validity
- 23:20Speaker 7: of the prick we system of infinite acceleration.
- 23:36Speaker 10: All eyes, Hannibal.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Now you start talking and I won't hold his hands. Sweeney.
- 23:40Speaker 10: That's a pleasure.
- 23:42Speaker 6: Well, Hannibal, let me out of this office. Talk never, Sweeney,
- 23:46Speaker 6: where's the tube?
- 23:47Speaker 4: Right here?
- 23:47Speaker 8: Pop?
- 23:48Speaker 6: Now, Hannimal, I give you five seconds to talk, after
- 23:52Speaker 6: which I'm turning this tube on you for a taste
- 23:54Speaker 6: of your own medicine.
- 23:55Speaker 4: Not think it over? One?
- 23:57Speaker 2: Two?
- 23:58Speaker 6: Now?
- 23:59Speaker 2: Three?
- 23:59Speaker 9: I hate them?
- 24:00Speaker 8: Why should I save them more?
- 24:02Speaker 9: All right? Put it away?
- 24:04Speaker 14: Please?
- 24:05Speaker 2: That's better?
- 24:07Speaker 10: Now?
- 24:08Speaker 2: How did you do it?
- 24:10Speaker 7: Many years ago Einstein posed a theory that if an
- 24:15Speaker 7: object were sufficiently accelerated, it would gradually flatten out and
- 24:19Speaker 7: eventually disappear altogether. Working on this approach, I evolved a
- 24:25Speaker 7: method of accelerating the atoms within the molecules, setting an
- 24:30Speaker 7: object spinning in four rather than three dimensions. For many years,
- 24:35Speaker 7: I tried to sell my idea to the railroad for
- 24:37Speaker 7: condensing freight and storage.
- 24:39Speaker 2: And you start the thing spinning with this little tube.
- 24:42Speaker 7: The tube sends out a whirling ring of electrons which
- 24:45Speaker 7: engulfed the object.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Why did you turn it on those buildings.
- 24:49Speaker 8: I was driven to it.
- 24:51Speaker 7: Only something dramatic could shock the world into realizing my greatness.
- 24:56Speaker 2: But you'll restore them. You're brought back grants, Tom, I.
- 25:00Speaker 9: Can restore them.
- 25:01Speaker 10: Yes, not can Hannibal will on.
- 25:04Speaker 7: One condition, Well, it's your paper. Give me full credit
- 25:08Speaker 7: for my scientific achievement. Front page pictures, a complete start.
- 25:12Speaker 10: It's a deal.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Wait a minute, pup.
- 25:14Speaker 3: We don't even work for this paper anymore.
- 25:15Speaker 6: Remember we'll take care of that little Matterswheney. Mister Colburn,
- 25:20Speaker 6: this is pop Adamy. You've just rehired me. Now, if
- 25:23Speaker 6: you care to step down the hall into my new office,
- 25:26Speaker 6: I think I can show you something. Make your hair
- 25:28Speaker 6: stand on end. I have three missing buildings in my desk.
- 25:32Speaker 6: Draw well, these on fire as it's coming down here
- 25:37Speaker 6: to have me committed to an institution?
- 25:40Speaker 8: All right, Adaby, all right, what's going on here? I
- 25:43Speaker 8: fired you, I ordered you off these premises. And this
- 25:45Speaker 8: is a joke.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Mister Colburn. You see these models?
- 25:49Speaker 8: What about them?
- 25:50Speaker 6: What would you say if I were to tell you
- 25:52Speaker 6: that these five inch models are actually the Empire State
- 25:56Speaker 6: Penn Station, the United States Post Office and bar and
- 26:01Speaker 6: the taxi cab all compressed five hundred times, that there
- 26:07Speaker 6: are people in them so tiny they can't see them,
- 26:09Speaker 6: that even time is so compressed inside these buildings that
- 26:12Speaker 6: movement is impossible.
- 26:14Speaker 8: This is insanity. Who is this man?
- 26:18Speaker 6: Don The show hasn't even started yet. Swingy put the
- 26:22Speaker 6: taxicab out in the middle of the floor. Okay, Pop,
- 26:25Speaker 6: now stand back, Hanibal, here's the tube. Now do your
- 26:29Speaker 6: stuff stand back.
- 26:32Speaker 9: Now?
- 26:35Speaker 8: Good lord. I don't believe it. It's getting bigger.
- 26:38Speaker 9: I reverse the polarity of the spin, very graduating.
- 26:45Speaker 8: When I am lying Tavylazi bomb, Hey where am I?
- 26:50Speaker 8: What happened out of my cab?
- 26:52Speaker 2: Getting us up?
- 26:53Speaker 8: As it easy?
- 26:54Speaker 2: George?
- 26:55Speaker 3: What is this?
- 26:55Speaker 2: So are you?
- 26:57Speaker 8: Ain't you a fair that skipped out on me? And
- 27:00Speaker 8: what is this a bug house? Well, mister Coleman, I
- 27:03Speaker 8: don't understand what you do. Believe Well, yes, yes, I
- 27:07Speaker 8: saw it right before my eyes.
- 27:08Speaker 6: Okay, Well, then here's the deal. You give our boy
- 27:11Speaker 6: Hannibal a front page spread with pictures. He'll take these
- 27:15Speaker 6: other buildings back to the original sites and restore them
- 27:18Speaker 6: just like they were, with our cameras getting exclusive shots.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Now is it the bargain?
- 27:23Speaker 8: Is it a bargain. I may not be the best
- 27:25Speaker 8: newspaper man in the world, but this is the biggest
- 27:27Speaker 8: thing since Snow's Ark. You're rehired a city editor at
- 27:31Speaker 8: your own salary, my own sound all right?
- 27:33Speaker 9: All right?
- 27:34Speaker 6: Plus a five hundred bonus. It's a deal, sweet it,
- 27:37Speaker 6: Carl composing. Tell them to double the size of the
- 27:39Speaker 6: front page. Have them hold it for a red don
- 27:41Speaker 6: of full page headline.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Got that right? Hello Albert, this is pop Listen. I
- 27:46Speaker 2: want to all photographers up in my office right away.

- 28:02Speaker 2: All right?
- 28:03Speaker 8: What is all I want to know is how do
- 28:06Speaker 8: I get my hack out of this office?
- 28:28Speaker 3: You have just heard another adventure in time space and
- 28:31Speaker 3: the unknown world of the future, the world of How
- 28:46Speaker 3: would you like to leave your home and friends for
- 28:50Speaker 3: a trip that might last for ten years or forever.
