| Opening Narration
Narrator: You are looking at a species of flimsy little two-legged animal with extremely small heads whose name is Man. Warren Marcusson, age thirty-five. Samuel A. Conrad, age thirty-one... They're taking a highway into space, Man unshackling himself and sending his tiny, grouping fingers up into the unknown. Their destination is Mars, and in just a moment we'll land there with them.
| Warren Marcusson: It's an odd way to spend the last night, isn't it?
Sam Conrad: Odd?
Warren Marcusson: Well, last night on Earth you don't spend looking at your transportation. Last night on Earth you spend it enjoying Earth. You walk its streets, go in its bars, dance with its women. That's gonna be our world for a long time, Sam, and yet we stand out here watching her just three hours before we take off.
| Sam Conrad: How do you know my language?
Teenya: We don't, Mr. Conrad. As you will no doubt soon realize, you are speaking our language.
Sam Conrad: Your language?
First Martian: Unconscious transference. You'd call it hypnosis of a sort.
| Teenya: No one will hurt you, you must believe that. No one will hurt you.
| (The front of the house slides open to reveal bars of a cage; the entire community of people, men, women, and children of all ages are outside watching Conrad as if he were part of a zoo. There is a sign in front of him that reads 'Earth Creature in his native habitat', which Conrad picks up, reads, then promptly throws down)
Sam Conrad: (yelling up towards the sky) Marcusson! Marcusson, you were right! You were right. People are alike. People are alike everywhere.
| Closing Narration
Narrator: Species of animal brought back alive. Interesting similarity in physical characteristics to human beings in head, trunk, arms, legs, hands, feet. Very tiny undeveloped brain; comes from primitive planet named Earth. Samuel Conrad has found the Twilight Zone.
