The Beast with a Million Eyes Page #3

---

could come over to dinner tonight.

It's my birthday.

Gee, I don't know. I... I'll

have to check my date book.

(EXCLAIMING)

Who would go out with you?

(CHUCKLING)

- You're the girl in my life.

- I didn't know that.

Yeah.

It's all right. Come on.

Poor old Him.

Him? Doesn't he have a name?

He can't talk and we don't know

his name. So we just call him "Him."

Dad wants him around.

- It's hard to believe a plane caused this.

- Well, maybe it wasn't a plane.

But if another one of

those goes over this house,

we won't have a glass

left to drink out of.

Believe me, Mrs. Kelley, I'll do

everything I can to find out what happened.

We'll see you later, Dad.

Wait till I get my hand

on that police siren.

Take it easy, now, kids.

- LARRY:
See you at my office.

- Okay.

(ENGINE FIRING)

My aching ears.

(SIREN WAILING)

Well, we'll be home soon.

Don't forget that package

at the emporium, Allan.

I won't, dear.

Duke!

Here, Duke! Come on, boy!

(SNORTING)

Stay, Duke! Stay!

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

I wonder why the lights aren't on?

There's another one. Can you manage?

(CHUCKLING)

The way I feel, I could carry them all.

(CHUCKLING)

You're pretty happy over

that new dress, aren't you?

Oh, it's a dream.

Imagine Mom keeping it

a secret all this time.

She didn't even mention

it to me until today.

(LAUGHING)

- Can you manage?

- Sure.

Shut the door for me, hon.

Carol, what's the idea of the blackout?

I'm right here, Allan.

Turn the light on, honey. What are

you sitting here in the dark for?

(SIGHING)

I'm all right, Allan. I'm all right.

Carol, what's the matter? What happened?

It's only a bruise.

I... I fainted after...

- Where's Sandy?

- She's coming.

Allan, quick, Duke, in the woodshed.

Don't let Sandy see him.

Sandy mustn't see him!

Don't let Sandy see him.

Sandy mustn't see him!

Mother, the dress is... Mother!

Sandy, stay here with your mother.

There's something... Well, you stay here.

- What is it, Dad?

- I'll be right back.

Mother?

Put the packages in the kitchen, dear.

The... The gun on the floor in there?

It's Duke, isn't it?

Something's happened to Duke.

- I'm going out there.

- Sandy, no.

He's my dog, I have a right.

Sandy!

(DOOR CLOSING)

(SANDY SCREAMING)

ALLAN:
Sandy! Go back, Sandy! Get back!
