The Twilight Zone1959

Captain Allenby:
Brought you some paperback books.

James A. Corry:
Thanks.

Captain Allenby:
And, Corry, I brought you something else, too. It'll mean my job, if they ever suspect. It'd be my neck, if they found out for sure.

James A. Corry:
Look, Allenby. I don't want any gifts. I don't want tidbits. Makes me feel like an animal in a cage with an old lady out there who wants to throw peanuts at me. A pardon, Allenby. That's the only gift I want. I'm not a murderer. I killed in self-defense. There are still a lot of people who believe me, and it happens to be the truth. I killed in self-defense!

Captain Allenby:
I know. I know all about it. And I doubt if this'll be any consolation to you, but this isn't an easy assignment to handle; stopping here four times a year and having to look at a man's agony.

James A. Corry:
You're right, Allenby. It's very little consolation.

Captain Allenby:
Well, I can't bring you freedom. All I can do is try to bring you things to help keep your sanity. Something to, uh, well anything, so you can just fight loneliness.
