Episode Quotes |

Opening Narration
Narrator: You've just witnessed opportunity, if not knocking, at least scratching plaintively on a closed door. Mr. Julius Moomer, a would-be writer who, if talent came twenty-five cents a pound, would be worth less than car fare. But, in a moment, Mr. Moomer, through the offices of some black magic, is about to embark on a brand-new career. And although he may never get a writing credit on the Twilight Zone, he's to become an integral character in it.
| William Shakespeare: Jeremy is supposed to be a lad of nineteen.
Rocky Rhodes: Yeah well, we changed all that. We decided that this guy should have some zazz, a guy with some moxie. This is a guy who's gotta know the score.
Rocky Rhodes: You ever hear of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?"
William Shakespeare: Cat....on a...hot...tin...roof? And what perchance would that be?
Rocky Rhodes: That would be a play, Charlie. Jeez, it's gettin' so they let any uncultured, uncouth ham in here.
| Closing Narration
Narrator: Mr. Julius Moomer, a streetcar conductor with delusions of authorship. And if the tale just told seems a little tall, remember a thing called poetic license--and another thing called the Twilight Zone.
