It Came from Beneath the Sea Page #4

B, I have the honor of working with

the great John Carter of Harvard,

the inventor of analytical biology.

And, C, my mind just isn't attuned to

discuss things on your level, Commander.

I don't think you're being

entirely fair, Miss Joyce.

Look, I have been working

for almost two weeks now

without a decent night's sleep.

I'm tired!

I read your book

on marine biology

and your plankton theory

in tracing surface currents.

Strictly in the line

of duty, of course.

I'm sorry, Commander.

Well, I'll tell you, I'll forgive

you if you call me Pete.

All right, Pete, but you have

to let me get back to my work.

Why don't you take a break?

I have a reason.

The Navy always has a

reason. That's right.

All right, maybe you're right.

Tell me,

he's a pretty nice guy, isn't he?

He's wonderful.

You're pretty fond

of him, aren't you?

Fond?

Why, he's magnificent.

He's a brilliant scientist.

His techniques are creative.

What are you driving at?

Oh, I just thought I'd clear the atmosphere.

Oh, you mean romance.

(CHUCKLES)

Now you tell me something, Commander.

Pete.

All right. Pete.

When you're driving that

atomic submarine of yours,

do you have much time for romance?

Well, even if I did admit

I had the time,

where would I find

the opportunity?

You know, women aren't

allowed aboard a submarine.

Poor boy.

I thought the Navy was

equipped for every emergency.

For the record, are you tied up?

I see what you mean.

That mean you're not?

A girl has to have some

secrets, doesn't she?

Do you have the results

of the iodide solution?

What?

What's the matter, Leslie?

Don't you feel well?

Well, I don't know.

I guess it's just lack of sleep.

You'd better get some rest.

No. No, I'll be all right.

Here are your results.

NARRATOR:
On the evening

of the 13th day,

Dr. Leslie Joyce was taking

the results of her last test.

John! John, I think you'd

better take a look at this.

What's going on?

There's no doubt about it now.

No doubt about what?

Thanks to Professor Joyce, we've

discovered the nature of your monster.

What a gal.

John!

Naval Intelligence.

Admiral Burns, please.

Well, Admiral, it's happened.

Carter and Joyce

have got news for you.

Yes, sir.

Very well, sir. I'll tell them.

An assistant secretary of the

Navy, Mr. Robert David Chase

is coming out here,

and Admiral Norman

wants to be in on it, too.

He's the commander-in-chief

of the entire Pacific area.

He'll see us the first

thing in the morning.

Here, gentlemen, is your villain.

It'd take an enormous number of

those to disable a Navy submarine.

Or just one of enormous size, Mr. Chase.

There's a squid on exhibit in the
