THE YELLOW WALLPAPER
Narrator
Narrator: It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw - not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things.

12Narrator THE TWILIGHT ZONE 1959 TV SeriesOtherQuotesQuotes

THE TWILIGHT ZONE
Narrator
Narrator: The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs, and explosions, and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is, that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

Duly recorded on the ship's log is the sailing time, course to destination, weather conditions, temperature, longitude and latitude. But what is never recorded in a log is the fear that washes over a deck like fog and ocean spray. Fear like the throbbing strokes of engine pistons, each like a heartbeat, parceling out of every hour into breathless minutes of watching, waiting and dreading... For the year is 1942, and this particular ship has lost its convoy. It travels alone like an aged blind thing groping through the unfriendly dark, stalked by unseen periscopes of steel killers. Yes, the Queen of Glasgow is a frightened ship, and she carries with her a premonition of death.


16Narrator THE TWILIGHT ZONE 1959 TV SeriesOtherQuotesQuotes

THE TWILIGHT ZONE
Narrator
Narrator: Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a map of the United States, and there's a little town there called Peaksville. On a given morning not too long ago, the rest of the world disappeared and Peaksville was left all alone. Its inhabitants were never sure whether the world was destroyed and only Peaksville left untouched or whether the village had somehow been taken away. They were, on the other hand, sure of one thing: the cause. A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines, because they displeased him, and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages, just by using his mind.

But laws are made by men, carried out by men. And men are imperfect. Richard Kimble is innocent.

A man he had never seen before. A man who has not yet been found. Richard Kimble ponders his fate as he looks at the world for the last time. And sees only darkness. But in that darkness, fate moves its huge hand.

THE 10TH VICTIM
Narrator
Narrator: She might have been any man's fatality. Caroline Meredith, a slim and lissom young lady seated pensively behind a high mahogany bar, her slim legs wrapped enraptured one around the other, her long, exquisitely carved face reminiscent of antique jade, yet colored the faintest of ivories, directed downward into the unfathomable depths of her martini. Statue-like, yet disturbingly alive, clad in the loveliest of silks and with a jet black sable coat flung carelessly over her superb shoulders, she might have stood for all that was fine and good and desirable in the strangely desperate city of New York.

Three Pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpence = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Note = One Pound, or 240 pennies. One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea. The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated.

Narrator: I knew the Manuscript's insights had finally merged in my mind into one consciousness. I was alert to the mysterious way my life evolved, as revealed by the First Insight. I knew that the whole culture was sensing this mystery again as well, and we were in the process of constructing a new world view, as pointed out by the Second.

The Sixth, that we could clear our old repeated dramas, and find our true selves, was also permanently etched in my mind. And the Seventh had set in motion the evolution of these true selves: through question, intuition of what to do, and answer. Staying in this magic flow was truly the secret of happiness. And the Eighth, knowing how to relate in a new way to others, bringing out in them the very best, was the key to keeping the mystery operating and the answers coming.
