  Speaker 4: Adventures in which you'll live in a million could be

  Speaker 4: years on a thousand maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Company,

  Speaker 3: X minus 1. Tonight, Celana by James E.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Gunn.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: But first, hear this.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Now, X-1.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Our story, Celana by James E.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Gunn.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: My name is Norman Blake, statistician, first class. At 2.30 p.m.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: on Monday, October 21st, in the year 2055, I became
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: a deviant. I left my job an hour early. To
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: deviate from the norm was unheard of in a perfectly
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: adjusted society such as ours. Thanks to the great psychologist Kinder,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: we had a society where everybody's job suited his talents
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: and needs, where children were raised scientifically, and where everyone
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: lived happily on an even keel instead of swinging back
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: and forth from gloom to ecstasy. Then I noticed it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: The single flaw in the perfect system.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Come in. Yes, Norm.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Henry, I'd like to talk to you for a moment privately.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Close the door. It's rather unusual for me to see
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: one of my statisticians privately, but since we're old friends.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Something rather serious has come up. Oh?
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: As you know, my duty is to check the computers
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: to make certain there are no deviations.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: This morning, I ran over the figures for our district.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Here is the sheet. The deviation is near the bottom.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: 1,037,000 gallons of water purified. 1,037,000 gallons consumed. 9,328 births. 9,328 deaths.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: I see nothing wrong so far.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Read the next item.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: One candy bar taken from baby.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Don't you see? A baby can't consent. Therefore, it must
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: have been taken without consent. Henry, that is theft. We
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: haven't had a case of theft in this society for
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: almost 29 years.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: It's got me so upset, I can't think of anything else.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: You're a little edgy, aren't you?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Well, wouldn't you be if you.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Knew there was an antisocial being walking the streets of
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: your own city?
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: I don't think I'd quite go to pieces like that. Maybe, um, well,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: this is just a suggestion. Maybe you ought to see
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: an analyst. Perhaps it would help you deal with this problem.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I've been analyzed.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: How long ago?
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Eight years.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Well, unless you're prepared to handle this problem, I'd advise
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: you to get some help. Meanwhile, take the rest of
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: the afternoon off.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Off? Deviate from the schedule?
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: As director and as an old friend of yours, I
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: order it. I consider you to be in extreme upset.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: That's your order?
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: That's my order.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: I must confess that as I went toward the elevator,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: a line kept running through my head.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Norm has departed from the norm.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I was doing something unorthodox, and what frightened me was
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: that actually it amused me.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Here I was, leaving work one hour early. I was so.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Preoccupied that I stepped into the elevator without noticing that
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: someone was already in it. An invasion of privacy almost unforgivable.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: He was a small, strange-looking man with short silver hair
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: and thick, round glasses.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Oops, I beg your pardon. I didn't really know you were...
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Perfectly all right, stranger. I'll just step out and... Hold it, brother.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: You've got troubles. I can see.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Well, I.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: My advice to you is see an analyst. Don't wait
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: another 24 hours.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I thank you for the advice. That's more than advice, brother.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: It's a commercial.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Here's my card. Andrew C. Rednick, public analyst. Oh, you're
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: an analyst.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Freelance. I didn't know there were any.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: I'm probably one of the few still practicing. My slogan is,
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: don't kid with your id. If life ain't dandy, come
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: see Andy.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I may be up to see you. You will, I
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: can tell.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I put on my public face, the mask we wear
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: on the street, and rode home in the proper manner,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: my arms and hands folded. When I got home, my wife, Neda,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: was in her room. I signaled on the intercom in
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: case she was, uh, entertaining.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: She wasn't. She never did.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I wondered if Neda was quite normal and well-adjusted.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Hello, darling.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: Is something wrong? Why are you home so early?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I just uncovered a crime wave.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: A what?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: A crime wave. A theft. Candy.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: From a baby.
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: Is that serious?
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: It It threatens the entire structure of our society. We
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: have a delicately balanced mechanism here. We're not ready for crime.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: We don't even know how to catch a criminal.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: Isn't there an old saying, it takes a thief to
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: catch a thief?
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: It takes a... Darling, that's it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: That's the answer to our problem.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: What is?
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: In order to protect society, I've got to catch the thief.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: And the only way to do it, obviously, is to
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: become one myself. You're listening to Celana, tonight's attraction on X-1.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Now back to X-1 and Celana. The address on the
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: card was a deserted skyscraper, a pre-analytic building. The elevators
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: were out of order, and I had to climb 29
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: flights of stairs. Finally, I eased in front of a
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: door that read, Andrew C. Rednick, Public Analyst. Grin and
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: come in.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Rednick?
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: It ain't Santa Claus, brother. Who? You wouldn't remember. Park
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: your eagle. Now, boy, what's your problem?
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I've got to do something, and it isn't in my
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: psychological profile.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: That's the trouble with this society. Nobody's capable of handling
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: the unexpected. Are you saying there's an advantage to being unadjusted?
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: Don't second-guess the analyst, boy. If you mean by advantage,
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: will you be happier?
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: No.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: But if you mean power, then you've got it. In
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: a country of normal people, the neurotic man is king.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: You want to be king, boy? Of course not.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: I'm perfectly happy and well-adjusted except for one little problem.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: Namely?
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I've got to catch a thief. So?
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: So I've got to know how a thief thinks and feels,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: what he does, where he goes.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: You mean you want to become neurotic? Exactly. This is
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: a rather unorthodox request. I suppose it is. I could
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: lose my license if anyone found out.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: If you don't do it, it could mean the end
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: of society and civilization.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: As bad as that, eh? Very well. You heard it once.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: Sit at my desk while I lie down on the
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: couch and tell you about my childhood.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: You lie down? I'm the one that's supposed to lie down.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: You forget this is reverse analysis. I'm supposed to make
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: you neurotic, frustrated.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Now then.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: The first thing I remember was an argument between my
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: father and mother.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: You were living with your own father and mother? Ooh,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: how unhygienic. What a nasty situation.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: You aren't very good at this sort of thing, are you, boy?
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: You're supposed to listen, not comment.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Now then.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: When I was 27, I perfected analysis and revolutionized society.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: What are you talking about? Kinder perfected analysis and revolutionized society.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: He died. Don't second-guess the analyst.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm beginning to dislike you already.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Fine.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: We're making progress already. You're beginning to experience dislike. Next,
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: we'll achieve hatred and then loathing. In three weeks, you'll
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: be well on the road to becoming a crook.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Every day for the next week, Rednick lay comfortably on
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: his red leather couch rambling about his childhood and his
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: problems while I longed to tell him about my own.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: I grew more and more repressed and my disposition became
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: worse and worse. On the eighth day, something happened at
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: the office that made me realize I had to hurry.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Come in. Henry, it's happened.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: What?
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: The thief has struck again, but this time it's even
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: more serious.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: What did he take?
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: A million dollars is missing from the first district bank.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: Great Scott. We've got to find this thief, Henry. We're
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: doomed if we don't. Maybe he's worked out his repressions.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: After all, what can a man steal after he's stolen
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: a million dollars?
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but I intend to find out.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Maybe you ought to drop it, Norma.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: How can you say a thing like that?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: It's positively antisocial.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Calm down now. You're all upset again. Why don't you
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: take the day off and go home? Spend some time
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: with that lovely wife of yours. She misses you.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: How do you know?
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Norm, boy, do I detect a note of jealousy? You'd
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: better watch your step. Jealousy is the forerunner of violence.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: Are you seeing an analyst, as I suggested? Yes, I am. Well,
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: keep at it, boy. You're in bad shape.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I kept at it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: By the time the annual status examinations were due, I
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: was a complete wreck. I hated Andrew Rednick with a passion.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: I was ambitious and jealous. I had even sunk to
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: that basest of all passions. I had fallen in love
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: with my own wife. And still I had not been
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: able to ferret out the thief. He had not struck again.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Ah, you're early, son. So I'm early. You'll have to wait.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: I have another patient. What?
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: You'll have to wait. I have another patient in the
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: other room. He'll be leaving in a minute.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Just sit down.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Another patient. I could have killed him. Never occurred to
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: me that Andrew C. Rednick would have another patient. After
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: a few moments, a man emerged from the inner office.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: He was wearing a silver mask or public face, and
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: naturally I couldn't see his features. As I had my
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: own mask on, he didn't see my features either, but
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I sensed a certain hostility as he brushed by me.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Come in, son.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Who is he?
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Take it easy. We don't reveal the names or identities
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: of patients. I hate him. You're jealous. Jealous? As a
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: matter of fact, I've been thinking of quitting the analysis. Good.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: This is your last session anyway. My... last session. But
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: it can't be.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: The annual examinations are coming up tomorrow.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I am not ready. I'll be demoted to a menial job.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I doubt it. I told you I'm not ready. What
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: can I do? Have you ever thought of cheating? On
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the examination? That's horrible.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Only a monster could suggest such a thing.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: What kind of man are you? Who are you, Rednick?
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Let me close my sign. You can read it backwards
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: with the door closed.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Andrew Rednick. Rednick backwards. Kinder?
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: You?
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: It's impossible.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: He's the founder of our whole society.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Besides, he's dead.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: He died in an accident.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: All staged. I just decided to duck out.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Because, my friend.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: I found I had created a Frankenstein, a perfect society.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: It was like paradise, a garden of Eden. The same
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: silly people, happy, not wanting anything, not going anyplace, and
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: not changing. So I decided to create a little sin
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: and thereby give the creatures change, growth, misery, ecstasy, and
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: free will.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: In a sense, I made them creative. Well, son, au revoir.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: But am I really finished?
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: You're just beginning. Your frustrations are like rabbits, boy. They
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: just keep breeding. I'm the one who's finished.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: He clapped his hat on his head and walked out,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: leaving me alone in his office. When I walked over
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: to his desk, I found a gun lying on top
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: of it. I put it in my pocket and returned
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: to my office. The next five hours were spent in
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: statistically predicting the questions I would be asked on the
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: annual examination and in finding out the answers in advance.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Then I went home.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: Darling, how did it go?
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Neda, take a good look at your husband.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: See anything different?
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: Well, I've been noticing a change for the past few weeks.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: You're going to notice a much bigger change, sweetheart. Tomorrow,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: the new appointments will be made based on the results
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: of the annual examination.
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: Did you do well?
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Did I do well? Read this card.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: The enclosed card has a magnetic reproduction of your new
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: psychological profile. It indicates you are in the 99th percentile
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: of leadership with the second highest altruism rating ever scored. Therefore,
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: a new position has been created for you. Beginning tomorrow,
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: you will be deputy mayor of the district. Deputy, darling,
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: it's wonderful.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, I dare say it is. Only one thing troubles me.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: I can't understand how anybody scored higher than I did.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: I'd counted on becoming mayor. The following day, I reported
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: to the office of the new mayor of our district,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: the only person who had scored higher than I on
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: the annual examination.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I was ushered in promptly.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: The new mayor was seated behind a huge desk. He
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: wore his public face mask.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Mr. Mayor, I'm Norman Blake, the new deputy.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Yes, we've met, you know. Oh, I'm afraid I don't...
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Let me remove my public face. There.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Henry. Henry Foreman.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: I'm amazed you didn't guess sooner.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: How?
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Quite simple. You and I, dear fellow, have unstable patterns.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: With me, the first break came the day I took
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: that bar of candy from the baby as I was
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: passing the nursery. My old act frightened me so that
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: I sought an analyst. The same analyst you saw.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Rednick?
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Rednick, Kinder, it's all the same.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: And you were the thief, and I never.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: It takes one to know one, Norm.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: You cheated on the exam, too.
• 17:30

• 17:37
  Speaker 5: We'll find out, though. We're ambitious, you and I. That
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: means we'll be moving up, heading for the governorship, perhaps
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: even the presidency. And then we'll collide with the others,
• 17:46

• 18:20
  Speaker 4: had to lead to the destruction of one or all
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: of us, and we knew it. There was one saying
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: that Rednick Kinder had forgotten to tack up on his wall.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Fred Collins again,
