01:53your eyes now what's the matter nothing nothing's the matter
02:18Millicent Barnes age 25 young woman waiting for a bus on a rainy November night not the very
02:32imaginative type is Miss Barnes not given to undo anxiety or fears or for that matter even the most
02:38temporal flights of fancy like most young career women she has a generic classification as a quote
02:44girl with a head on her shoulders end of quote all of which is mentioned now because in just a moment
02:50the head on Miss Barnes's shoulders will be put to a test circumstances will assault her sense of
02:57reality and a chain of nightmares will put her sanity on a block Millicent Barnes who in one minute
03:04will wonder if she's going mad
03:06well shall we run through it again miss
03:36oh no thank you but I was just noticing it it isn't very much but that bag
03:43what about it well it's just like mine it's identical even to the broken handle
03:49what is this some kind of a game what that is your bag lady you checked it
03:56oh no that isn't my bag it looks just like my bag but my
04:03when you go over there and sit down you're either walking in your sleep or hungover or something
04:10go back over there and sit down and breathe through your nose and let me read my magazine
04:16when the Cortland bus comes there'll be a loud sound of an engine door opening people who come in here
04:24then you'll know the bus is here
04:27but I didn't check my bag and anyway when I saw that my bag
04:32I'm going to go over there but I saw it and sign up over there and then you can see it
04:36it's really good for me
04:38but I really liked it
04:40I really liked it
04:41so much
04:46it's really bad for you
04:47because I am a headman
04:51I'm so excited for her
04:55but it's not my door
04:57I know
04:59Are you all right, miss?
05:25Yes, of course I'm all right.
05:29I'm perfectly all right.
05:32Why, don't I look all right?
05:34You look fine.
05:35You look just fine.
05:36It's just that when you were in here before...
05:40Before?
05:41What do you mean, before?
05:43I've never been in here before.
05:45Honey, you were just in here a few minutes ago.
05:48Me?
05:49I've never been in here before.
05:52What's the matter with this place, anyway?
05:56Somebody keeps taking my bag.
05:58Somebody tells me I keep asking about the bus, and now you tell me I've been in here before.
06:01Now, just take it easy, miss.
06:03Everything's going to be all right.
06:04Well, of course everything's going to be all right.
06:07There's nothing wrong to begin with.
06:09The only thing wrong with you people is you need some sleep or something.
06:13Let me get you a cold cloth, honey.
06:23I don't think you're well.
06:26No, I don't need that.
06:29No, I'll be all right.
07:14Excuse me.
07:33Yes.
07:35I wonder if you saw someone sitting in my seat a few moments ago.
07:39I don't think so miss.
07:40Of course I wasn't looking very close.
07:42Oh, what's your trouble?
07:45Oh, no, no trouble.
07:46I just thought I saw somebody I knew.
07:50In here?
07:54Sorry to have disturbed you.
08:12What's the matter with me?
08:28What on earth is the matter with me?
08:31What's happening?
08:34Delusions.
08:35That's what they are.
08:36They're delusions.
08:37I must be sick.
08:41I must be running a fever.
08:44I'm not even warm.
08:46I don't have any fever.
08:49No fever at all.
08:50Excuse me, miss.
09:00Yes.
09:01Oh.
09:03Yes, what is it?
09:04Your bag.
09:05I think you dropped it.
09:07Oh, thank you.
09:10Ah, bus is late, isn't it?
09:12It seems so.
09:14Over half an hour night.
09:15You do mean the bus to Cortland, don't you?
09:19That's the one.
09:21I was supposed to be in Syracuse tonight by 10.
09:24The planes were all grounded, so I took a cab from Binghamton.
09:27The darn thing skidded and ran into a tree a few miles outside of here.
09:31I had to walk all the way into town to get here.
09:39Forgive me, miss.
09:40You're not ill, are you?
09:41Oh, I don't know what's wrong with me.
09:47I really don't.
09:50Is there something I can do?
09:53I don't know.
09:55It's just that all sorts of queer things have been happening to me.
10:01I've been seeing things.
10:03Seeing things?
10:05What sort of things?
10:06I'm not sure I should tell you.
10:12You probably want to move to another part of the room
10:14or call the police or an ambulance or something.
10:19Why don't you tell me?
10:21Maybe I can help.
10:22Incidentally, my name is Grinstead.
10:24Paul Grinstead.
10:25I'm from Binghamton.
10:28How do you do?
10:29I'm Millicent Barnes.
10:30At least I was Millicent Barnes.
10:34I'm a private secretary.
10:36I quit my job here on Thursday
10:38and I got another job in Buffalo.
10:40That's where I'm going tonight, to Buffalo.
10:45Everybody keeps telling me that I've been here before.
10:50That man who takes the tickets,
10:52he says I keep asking about the bus
10:54and the woman in the powder room.
10:56She says I've been in there before and I haven't been.
10:59And my bag here.
11:00My bag!
11:02There it is.
11:03Oh.
11:05Oh, thank God.
11:07For a minute I thought everything was starting all over again.
11:11That man said I checked it.
11:12And I hadn't.
11:14But there was a bag almost identical to mine in the baggage room.
11:17And then when I came out of the powder room,
11:19it wasn't there.
11:22Go on.
11:22Well, it sounds very strange, but...
11:29When I came out of the powder room,
11:32I looked in the mirror
11:35and I could see the whole waiting room in the mirror.
11:39And I...
11:39What did you see, Miss Barnes?
11:51I saw myself
11:52sitting right here on this bench.
11:55It's delusions.
12:00Yes.
12:01Yes, that's what it must be.
12:03Delusions.
12:03Some sort of delusions.
12:05But I'm not sick.
12:07I...
12:07I don't have a temperature.
12:08I'm not running a fever.
12:12But it's not just seeing things that don't exist.
12:15Why did that man and that woman
12:18say they'd seen me before?
12:22I don't know.
12:23This one's tough to figure out.
12:28Well, what's happening to me?
12:29What's wrong?
12:31I'm not some sort of kook.
12:33I've never had any trouble like this before.
12:35I mean, trouble with my mind.
12:38Oh, of course you haven't.
12:40There's an explanation someplace.
12:42There's a reason.
12:43And maybe...
12:45Maybe what?
12:48Maybe there's someone here who resembles you.
12:51That could be it, you know?
12:52Or maybe someone
12:54playing some kind of a joke or something.
12:57Oh, is that possible?
13:01Oh, that's too fantastic.
13:03And that doesn't explain about the bag.
13:08And anyway, if there is such a person,
13:10where is she?
13:11Where is this person?
13:13Bus to Cortland,
13:18Syracuse,
13:20Buffalo,
13:21now arriving.
13:23Let me take that for you.
13:24Looks heavy.
13:25Oh, thank you.
13:26You're very kind.
13:27Forget it.
13:28You're easy to be kind, too.
13:29No, I mean more than just kind.
13:33We better get on the bus.
13:35I'll take your bag.
13:39Hold on.
13:52Miss Barnes?
13:53Millicent!
13:54What's the matter?
13:55Wait a minute.
13:55On our way.
14:13You and the lady coming, or aren't you?
14:15No.
14:16We'll wait for the next one.
14:18Next one ain't doodle seven in the morning.
14:21You got a long wait.
14:22That's all right.
14:23Okay.
14:26I'm shutting off some of these lights.
14:28When not in use, turn off the juice.
14:31That's what I always say.
14:34Best to getting home.
14:37Oh, I sure hope she feels better.
14:41You've been very nice.
14:42Oh, it's all right.
14:43But offhand, mister, I'd say she needed some looking after.
14:48You know what I mean.
15:04You feeling better?
15:10Bus.
15:10It had to leave.
15:13There'll be another before too long.
15:15You didn't get on.
15:17That's all right.
15:18I'm this late already.
15:20A few more hours won't make any difference.
15:26I've been thinking about something.
15:31It's very odd, but...
15:34I've been remembering.
15:38Remembering what?
15:40About something I read or heard about a long time ago.
15:52About different planes of existence.
15:57About two parallel worlds that exist side by side.
16:03And each of us has a counterpart in this world.
16:11And sometimes, through some freak, through something unexplainable,
16:17this counterpart, after the two worlds converge, comes into our world.
16:23And in order to survive, it has to take over.
16:28Take over?
16:31Replace us.
16:33Move us out so that it can live.
16:35That's a little metaphysical for me.
16:40I remember reading it somewhere.
16:44Each of us has a twin in this other world.
16:49An identical twin.
16:54Maybe that woman I saw.
16:58Millicent, there's another explanation.
17:01There has to be.
17:02One that comes with more reason.
17:05I can't explain it.
17:10But I know that's what's happened.
17:14This other woman.
17:16My counterpart.
17:18Forget about it.
17:19Please.
17:20Don't think about it.
17:21I just thought of something.
17:28I've got a good friend.
17:30Lives in Tully.
17:31I'll call him.
17:32Maybe he'll bring his car down here for us.
17:35He might even be able to drive us into Syracuse.
17:37I'll call him.
17:42All right, Millicent.
17:44Shall I call my friend?
17:51A master, I'll tell you what I think.
18:05I'd say she's got a leak in her attic.
18:08Parallel planes.
18:10Counterparts in another life.
18:15You got a thing about sick people?
18:17Is that it?
18:19Poor, poor kid.
18:22I don't know what's going to happen.
18:24Come call your friend?
18:26Your friend in Tully, the one with the car.
18:30I don't have any friend in Tully.
18:33She needs help.
18:35Medical help.
18:37Figured it would be easier this way.
18:38Figured she'd come along.
18:41Poor kid.
18:44Can I use it?
18:45Go ahead.
18:47Who are you going to call?
18:50Police, I guess.
18:51I think they're the ones that could help us.
18:54Tell you the truth.
18:55She kind of gives me the willies.
18:58At least she got out here somehow.
18:59Yeah.
18:59Where are you?
19:21Where are you?
19:23Where did you go?
19:34What do you want?
19:38Where are you?
19:40Millicent.
19:41Are you all right?
19:44How about getting some fresh air?
19:58All right.
19:59All right.
20:12All right.
20:25Oh
20:55Did you get her off all right?
21:05Yeah
21:05They're gonna take her to the hospital for observation
21:08What was she talking about?
21:11The thing about another life
21:12I don't know
21:15It's part of her illness, I guess
21:17You said the next bus is at 7?
21:22Got about four and a half hours, pal
21:25You can take a snooze on that bench
21:28Be all alone
21:30No noise whatsoever
21:31This place is like a tomb
21:34Between now and morning
21:35Maybe I will get some sleep
21:52But just excuse me
22:07You can stay
22:09You can stay
22:10Maybe not
22:11You can stay
22:12Hey!
22:18Hey!
22:29Hey!
22:34Hey!
22:47Where are you?
22:52Hey!
22:54Where are you?
22:59Obscure a metaphysical explanation to cover a phenomena.
23:04Reasons dredged out of the shadows to explain away that which cannot be explained.
23:09Call it parallel planes or just insanity.
23:13Whatever it is, you find it in the Twilight Zone.
