:25:02
Obviously, the monster must be found.
:25:05
He must be tracked down like a wild animal.
:25:07
He must be destroyed.
:25:10
But where would such a creature hide?
:25:12
Would he disappear into the north woods?
:25:15
Would he crawl into the sewers
of some great city?
:25:19
Everybody agrees there is grave danger.
:25:22
The question remains:
what can we do to protect ourselves?
:25:26
What measures can we take to neutralize this
menace from another world?
:25:32
Destroy it? Of course, but how?
:25:35
And if we do destroy it,
what do we face in retaliation?
:25:39
- It's not a simple problem... - George,
turn it off. I'm trying to concentrate.
:25:44
Why doesn't the government do something?
:25:47
What can they do?
They're only people, like us.
:25:49
People, my foot! They're Democrats.
:25:52
It gives you the shakes.
:25:54
He's got that robot standing there,
just waiting for orders to destroy us.
:25:58
This spaceman, or whatever he is.
We automatically assume he's a menace.
:26:02
- Maybe he isn't at all.
- Then what's he hiding for?
:26:05
- Why doesn't he come out in the open?
- Like Heatter says, "What's he up to?"
:26:09
- Maybe he's afraid.
- He's afraid!
:26:12
Well, after all, he was shot
the minute he landed here.
:26:16
- I was just wondering what I would do.
- Perhaps before deciding on any action,
:26:21
you'd want to know more about the people,
to orient yourself in a strange environment.
:26:26
- There's nothing strange about Washington.
- A person from another planet may disagree.
:26:31
If you want my opinion,
he comes from right here on Earth.
:26:35
And you know where I mean.
:26:38
They wouldn't come in a spaceship.
Only planes.
:26:40
I wouldn't be too sure about that.
:26:43
That fellow wants something,
otherwise he wouldn't be here.
:26:46
That right, Mr. Carpenter?
:26:48
I'm a little confused.
:26:51
Oh, Mrs. Benson,
Mr. Stevens is here to see you.
:26:54
Oh, thank you. Excuse me.
:26:56
George, finish your coffee. I promised
the Carsons I'd be there at 11.
