Invasion of the Body Snatchers Page #2

Synopsis: The first remake of the paranoid infiltration classic moves the setting for the invasion from a small town to the city of San Fransisco and starts as Matthew Bennell notices that several of his friends are complaining that their close relatives are in some way different. When questioned later they themselves seem changed as they deny everything or make lame excuses. As the invaders increase in number they become more open and Bennell, who has by now witnessed an attempted "replacement" realises that he and his friends must escape or suffer the same fate. But who can he trust to help him and who has already been snatched?

We can eat outside. It's a beautiful night.

Take that meat there, will you?

Chop it up.

And hand me the ginger,

the stuff that's chopped up there.

You wanna know something else?

This is really weird.

I went to see his sister Nora

to talk to her about it.

But I couldn't. I stopped myself.

She changed, too?

- Do you think I'm crazy?

- No.

D'you wanna go see

my friend David Kibner?

- The psychiatrist?

- Not like that.

Talk to him. He would

put things into perspective.

- I'm not crazy.

- No, no, no. I'm serious.

He would eliminate whether Geoffrey

was having an affair, or had become gay.

Whether he had a social disease,

or had become a Republican.

All the things that could have happened

to have made you feel he had changed.

D'you know what I mean?

You wanna go see him?

You think I'm nuts.

No, I don't.

Can you still do the thing with your eyes?

If you're not crazy,

you can do that thing with your eyes.

You're not crazy.

This is delicious.

You're a great cook.

What time is Geoffrey getting back?

He said not to wait up for him.

D'you want some more wine?

- Morning!

- Hello.

One, two... Mrs Teng,

this one's got a coffee stain on it.

Here.

- That's not coffee.

- That is coffee. I put it there myself.

Maybe not come out.

You doctor, right?

Me? No. Health Department. Civil servant.

Do you need a doctor?

My wife... sick.

- What's wrong with her?

- She wrong.

- She's not right?

- That not my wife.

You mean, she's...?

No, no. Different.

That not my wife!

How you doin', Harry?

Hey, pooch. How you doin', boy?

Where you been? You've been driving me

crazy. I've been looking all over for you.

What's the matter with you?

You all right?

Talk to me, Elizabeth.

I keep seeing these people

all recognising each other.

Something was passing between them all.

Some secret.

It's a conspiracy. I know it.

There can't be a conspiracy.

Matthew, I'm telling you,

something's going on here.

Something that scares me.

I tried to see Geoffrey today,

to talk to him.

He's always in his office in the morning.

It really was weird.

Geoffrey was meeting

all sorts ofstrange people.

Things were being passed between them.

- None were people you knew?

- I didn't know any of them.

Maybe they were patients of Geoffrey's.

Oh, no, no, Matthew. I know they weren't.

I followed him

from one end oftown to the other,

and everywhere he went he had

these meetings with strange people.

I felt so stupid

sneaking around spying on him,

but I can't talk to him. What can I do?

OK. Well, Kibner will be able

to explain something.

I don't need a psychiatrist.

Just forget that he's a psychiatrist.

Just think of him as an intelligent man,
