Episode Quotes
 
Opening Narration
Narrator: Portrait of a TV fan. Name: Joe Britt. Occupation: cab driver. Tonight, Mr. Britt is going to watch 'a really big show,' something special for the cabbie who's seen everything. Joe Britt doesn't know it, but his flag is down and his meter's running and he's in high gear--on his way to the Twilight Zone.
 
Woman: Marry me.
Joe Britt: Marry you? Oh, now, look, baby, we’re talking about two different things. Love is flowers and wine with the dinner. Marriage is a floor mop and two pounds of hamburger.
Woman: Oh, well, I don’t mind hamburger. With onions.
 
Closing Narration
Narrator: The next time your TV set is on the blink, when you're in the need of a first-rate repairman, may we suggest our own specialist? Factory-trained, prompt, honest, twenty-four-hour service. You won't find him in the phone book, but his office is conveniently located--in the Twilight Zone.
