Invasion of the Body Snatchers Page #4

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?

- What seems to be the trouble?

Hello? Yeah.

Don't ever give your name to cops.

Leavenworth and Turk. I'll hold.

But he isn't my husband!

It's someone who looks like him.

He's an impostor!

Now, Katherine, he's your husband.

You know him and I know him.

I had to wait until today cos he has

a scar on the back of his neck

and when his hair is long

you can't see it.

- He went to have a haircut today...

- And the scar was gone.

No! It's still there!

Of course it's still there.

What did you expect? He's still Ted.

- Excuse me, can I say one thing?

- Please! He's still your husband Ted.

- I know something...

- Katherine?

- Could I say one thing?

- Katherine!

Just a minute.

- Katherine.

- Just give me a minute, will you?

Will you trust me?

Will you please trust me? Will you?

I work for the county.

This is a public-spirited gesture.

- I will give you my name...

- Kibner wants people to fit the world.

- I wanna report this.

- I want the world to fit people.

- We'll talk about this later.

- Where's Homer? Or Kazantzakis?

- Where's Jack London?

- Where's Elizabeth?

- I'm afraid!

- I understand, I know.

I understand. Let me have your hand.

- Katherine, just trust me.

- Isn't he wonderful?

Come on.

There. That's not so bad, is it?

Who's this behind me?

- It's Ted.

- That's right.

Hold on. Come on, just hold on.

Hold on. Just relax now.

- You gonna be all right? You feel better?

- Yeah. Yes.

- You wanna go home now?

- Yes.

- Will you come and see me tomorrow?

- Please... tomorrow.

Tomorrow we'll all talk.

OK? The three of us?

OK, but I better take her home.

Yes. It's OK.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- OK.

- All right?

- OK.

Thank you.

They don't wanna hear

about the accident.

It's a big conspiracy.

- What's a conspiracy?

- Everything.

Excuse me.

I understand what you're trying to say.

My name is Elizabeth Driscoll,

the Public Health Department. Call me.

Katherine! Come on, Katherine.

That woman's husband

is not her husband.

I saw him with Geoffrey. He's one of them.

She knows about it

- and nobody's helping her.

- No. Somebody's helping her.

I'm glad you heard that. David, Elizabeth.

I've heard it all week. It's popular.

- What is?

- I was trying to tell you

- that I also know somebody...

- Who's changed.

- Yes.

- Can we go outside and talk about it?

Listen, there's a lady up top - red hair,

blue dress. She's interested in your work.

I've heard the same damn story

this week from six patients.

People are changing,

becoming less human.

It's happening all around us.

That's not what we're talking about.

This has nothing to do with

the man I live with.
