Plan 9 from Outer Space

Jeff Trent:
Modern women. They've been like that all down through the ages.

Eros:
You do not need guns.

Jeff Trent:
Maybe we think we do.

Paula Trent:
Saucers? You mean the kind from up there?

Paula Trent:
Now, don't you worry. The saucers are up there. The graveyard is out there. But I'll be locked up safely in there.

Air Force Captain:
Visits? That would indicate visitors.

Colonel Tom Edwards:
This is the most fantastic story I've ever heard.

Jeff Trent:
And every word of it's true, too.

Colonel Tom Edwards:
That's the fantastic part of it.

Lieutenant John Harper:
I'll bet we haven't seen the last of these weirdies.

Paula Trent:
I've never seen you in this mood before.

Jeff Trent:
I guess that's because I've never been in this mood before.

Colonel Tom Edwards:
Why is it so important that you want to contact the governments of our earth?

Eros:
Because of death. Because all you of Earth are idiots.

Jeff Trent:
Now you just hold on, Buster.

Eros:
No, you hold on. First was your firecracker, a harmless explosive. Then your hand grenade: you began to kill your own people, a few at a time. Then the bomb. Then a larger bomb: many people are killed at one time. Then your scientists stumbled upon the atom bomb, split the atom. Then the hydrogen bomb, where you actually explode the air itself. Now you can arrange the total destruction of the entire universe served by our sun: The only explosion left is the Solaranite.

Colonel Tom Edwards:
Why, there's no such thing.

Colonel Tom Edwards:
Why, a particle of sunlight can't even be seen or measured.

Eros:
Can you see or measure an atom? Yet you can explode one. A ray of sunlight is made up of many atoms.

Jeff Trent:
So what if we do develop this Solaranite bomb? We'd be even a stronger nation than now.

Eros:
"Stronger." You see? You see? Your stupid minds. Stupid. Stupid.

Tanna:
Eros, do we *have* to kill them?

Eros:
Yes.

Tanna:
It seems such a waste.

Eros:
Well, wouldn't it be better to kill a few now than, with their meddling, permit them to destroy the entire universe?

Tanna:
You're always right, Eros.

Eros:
Of course. But those are not my words; those are the words of the Ruler.

Jeff Trent:
You fiend.

Eros:
I, a fiend? I am a soldier of our planet. I, a fiend? We did not come here as enemies.

Eros:
It's because of men like you that all must be destroyed.

Lieutenant John Harper:
It was a saucer.

The Ruler:
Plan 9? Ah, yes. Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long distance electrodes shot into the pineal and pituitary gland of the recently dead.

Colonel Tom Edwards:
For a time we tried to contact them by radio but no response. Then they attacked a town, a small town I'll admit, but never the less a town of people, people who died."

Inspector Clay:
I'm a big boy now, Johnny.

Jeff Trent:
You promise you'll lock the doors immediately?

Paula Trent:
I promise. Besides, I'll be in bed before a half hour's gone... with your pillow beside me.

Jeff Trent:
My pillow?

Paula Trent:
Well, I have to have something to keep me company while you're away. Sometimes in the night, when it does get a little lonely, I reach over and touch it. Then it doesn't seem so lonely anymore.

Patrolman Larry:
Well, that's why your a detective Lieutenant and I'm still a uniformed officer.

Jeff:
So what if we do develop this solaronite bomb? We'd be even a stronger nation than now.

Eros:
"Stronger." You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!

Criswell:
Greetings, my friends. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember, my friends, future events such as these will affect you in the future. You are interested in the unknown, the mysterious, the unexplainable. That is why you are here. And now, for the first time, we are bringing to you the full story of what happened on that fateful day. We are giving you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimonies of the miserable souls who survived this terrifying ordeal: the incidents, the places. My friends, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty. Let us reward the innocent. My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts about grave robbers from outer space?

Criswell:
My friends, you have seen this incident based on sworn testimony. Can you prove that it didn't happen? Perhaps on your way home you will pass someone in the dark, and you will never know it, for they will be from outer space. Many scientists believe that another world is watching us this moment. We once laughed at the horseless carriage, the aeroplane, the telephone, the electric light, vitamins, radio, and even television! And now some of us laugh at outer space. God help us... in the future.

Eros:
Those whom we're using cannot think. They are the dead, brought to a simulated life by our electrode guns. You know, it's an interesting thing when you consider: the Earth people, who can think, are so frightened by those who cannot — the dead.

The Ruler:
As soon as you have enough of the dead recruits, march them on the capitals of the earth. Let nothing stand in your way. Their own dead will be used to make them accept our existence and believe in that fact.

Lt. Harper:
One thing's sure: Inspector Clay is dead — murdered — and somebody's responsible!

Paula:
A flying saucer? You mean the kind from up there?

Jeff:
Yeah, either that or its counterpart

Larry:
Strange. If someone had broken in, the dirt should be piled up here somewhere. It looks like it's fallen in, into the grave.

Lt. Harper:
Larry, you'll be out of that uniform before you know it.

Lt. Harper:
[about Eros] He's mad.

Tanna:
Mad? Is it mad that you destroy other people to save yourselves? You have done this. Is it mad that one country must destroy another to save themselves? You have also done this. How then is it "mad" that one planet must destroy another who threatens the very existence-...

Eros:
[shoves her roughly aside] That's enough. [to the humans] In my land, women are for advancing the race, not for fighting man's battles.
