Invasion of the Body Snatchers Page #3

which is what he is.

It's a book party. He's a celebrity.

He's very famous.

And you will like him,

if you forget that he's a psychiatrist.

I don't know... I don't know.

Matthew, I've lived in this city all my life,

but somehow today

I felt everything had changed.

People were different.

Notjust Geoffrey, but everybody.

Yesterday it all seemed normal.

Today everything seemed the same,

but it wasn't.

It was a nightmare.

It really became frightening.

It was like the whole city

had changed overnight.

Did I ever tell you the one

about the English Camel Corps? Did l?

They're trapped in the desert,

in the Sahara desert.

They've been surrounded by Rommel

for 40 days and they've run out of food.

And the captain comes

and makes an announcement to the men.

He says,

"Men, I have some good news

and some bad news for you."

- One of the men says...

- Wait. You have told me this.

Can I tell it to you again?

Look out!

Oh, my God! Lock the door!

- They're coming!

- We should help.

Help! Help! They're coming.

They're coming. Listen!

- He's smashed out of his skull.

- He's terrified.

You're next. Please! Please!

You're next. We're in danger!

Listen to me... Something terrible!

Please. You're next!

Here they are. They're already here!

Help! You're next!

- They're coming. They're coming...

- He must have done something.

The policeman'll help.

Oh, my God.

That poor man.

What was he talking about?

I'll phone a witness report in

from the bookstore.

Matthew, thank God you're here!

These people are driving me nuts.

- Are we gonna have dinner?

- No, I can't.

- Is there a phone?

- Around the corner.

- Elizabeth Driscoll, Jack Bellicec.

- This is the Elizabeth?

The book is awful. Kibner's book is awful.

His ideas are garbage. Pure garbage.

How can you say that

about a man like Kibner?

Not a man like Kibner.

I'm saying it about Kibner.

He dashes a book off every six months.

Takes me six months to write one line.

- Why?

- Cos I pick each word individually.

- What's so hot about that?

- I wasn't even talking to you, was l?

On the corner of Leavenworth and...

- Turk.

- Turk? Turk.

Is that him?

Yes.

Yes!

"What's so hot about that?

What's so hot about that?" I don't know...

You must have a report on it

cos there was a motorcycle officer there

- and an ambulance on the way.

- They follow me.

- They don't understand me.

- You don't have to prove yourself to them.

- That's easy for you to say.

- Of course I saw it.

- The man was running down the street.

- It's romantic, sentimental,

- He landed on my car.

- post-industrial nonsense.

Just a second. I'm talking to the police.

- No, he was bleeding on the road.
