It Came from Outer Space Page #4

one way or another.

Look, Matt,

I'm frightened too.

You want to

destroy yourself,

that's your lookout.

But leave Ellen alone.

She needs her job.

Come on, Miss Fields,

give us a story.

Smile, please, Miss Fields.

Joe, get it, will ya ?.

What about this monster

you ran into last night ?.

Come on, fellows, stop

bothering her, will ya ?.

We're just checkin'

your story.

What are ya tryin' to prove ?.

That's what I was gonna askyou.

Maybe getting publicity

for a new bookyou're writing ?.

John !

Don't get sore, Putnam.

You're news now.

Okay, Putnam, just

tryin' to get a story.

Snell agrees with the

sheriff and the sheriff

agrees with the others.

I'm crazy.

Oh, I know. Matt was at me

before he found you.

A teacher has responsibilities

to the community.

I just wish we had found one

of them, that's all.

Just one little monster to toss

into the principal's bedroom.

An occasion to make

the soul tremble.

Thankyou, sir. This is

your local announcer again.

Here's Major Benson

ofthe United States Army

to give us his view.

Major, will the Army attempt

to dig underneath the crater ?

Uh, probably not.

Major, how do you feel

about the report...

that a spaceship

is buried there ?

Ifthere is, it'll have to wait

until we can get around to it.

Then the army isn 't

afraid of any invaders ?

Not ifthey're buried under

hundreds oftons of--

Look !

- Seems like it'll reach out.

- Hmm.

It's alive.

And yet it looks

so dead out there.

Oh, no, it's alive

and waiting for you.

Ready to kill you

ifyou go too far.

The sun will get you,

or the cold at night.

A thousand ways

the desert can kill.

Where are you ?.

What do you look like ?

What am I supposed to be

looking for ?

I know you're out there,

hiding in the desert.

Maybe I'm looking right at you

and don't even see you.

Come on out !

Why, John !

Hiya, Frank, George.

Well, where'd

you two come from ?.

Why aren't you

at the crater ?.

I don't like

the show they're puttin' on.

Hear they got you goin',

John. Ridin' you, boy ?.

They're tryin' to.

I read the morning papers.

Don't let 'em ride you too much.

Have you two seen anything

unusual this morning ?.

You mean like

another meteor ?.

No, I don't mean like a meteor.

No, we ain't seen nothin',

have we, Frank ?.

Have we, Frank ?

What ?.

I said, we haven't seen

nothin', have we ?

No, I haven't seen anything.

But I'm sure

hearin' things.

Yeah ?.

What kind of things ?.

Well, I don't know.

Darnedest noise ever.

Never heard it on

the wires before.

You've been out in the sun

all morning.

No, it's not the sun !

Mind if I give a listen ?.

Sure ! Put him

on the ladder, George.

You're the boss.
