Forbidden Planet Page #4

- The unnatural ones, I mean.

- The symptoms were striking.

One by one, in spite of every safeguard,

my coworkers were torn...

...literally limb from limb.

- By what?

By some devilish thing

that never showed itself.

- And the Belerephon?

- Vaporized...

...as the three remaining survivors

tried to take her off.

And yet in all these 19 years...

...you personally have never again

been bothered by this planetary force?

Only in nightmares of those times.

And yet, always in my mind,

I seem to feel the creature...

...is lurking somewhere close at hand.

Sly and irresistible.

And only waiting

to be reinvoked for murder.

Father.

Alta.

Alta, I specifically asked you

not to join us for lunch.

But, Father, lunch is over.

I'm sure you never said a word

about not coming in for coffee.

Well, did you or did you?

This is Commander Adams,

Dr. Ostrow and Lieutenant Farman.

- My daughter.

- How do you do?

I've always so terribly wanted to meet

a young man and now three at once.

- That's very kind of you.

- You're lovely, doctor.

Of course, the two end ones

are unbelievable.

Could this end one

get you some coffee?

Oh, I'm quite able to get it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Of course, you must make allowances

for my daughter, gentlemen.

She's never known

any human being except her father.

I hope you'll make allowances too, sir.

We young men have been shut up

in hyperspace for well over a year now...

...and right from here,

the view looks just like heaven.

Sugar?

But you keep helping me.

After all, you're not Robby.

I wouldn't mind being Robby

in certain ways.

That's only in certain ways, of course.

I can see that was probably very clever,

but I don't seem to understand it.

Well, there's...

There's no rush.

Yes, I suppose one day I shall be obliged

to make the trip to Earth with her...

...for the sake

of her natural development.

I should say fairly soon too.

Your father wasn't too happy

at first about your meeting us, was he?

Well, naturally not.

You're from Earth.

- Well, what's wrong with Earth?

- How lucky I am, though.

All three of you

are such very fine exceptions.

- Well, you are exceptions, aren't you?

- Oh, sure, sure.

Well, that is, I am anyway.

Old dependable Jerry.

Of course the doc

can be trusted too, in the daytime.

What about the commander?

Well, I hate to tell you this, Alta...

...but that man is notorious

throughout seven planetary systems.

Oh, dear.

What does he do?

Well, l... I don't feel free to discuss

the shortcomings of a fellow officer...

...but any girl or woman

who lets him get her alone, anywhere...

Yes.

Yes, I can see it now.

There.

Just then when he looked at me.
