# She came, she came to meet a man |
| 00:00:13 |
# She found an angel |

# Goo goo, goo goo |
| 00:00:20 |
# Goo goo, goo goo |
| 00:00:23 |
I don't want the shot |
| 00:00:25 |
just long enough to say |
| 00:00:30 |
Won't you lend her some of yours? |
| 00:00:34 |
Jim? |
| 00:00:41 |
Can you believe they're up there |
| 00:00:45 |
It certainly is. |
| 00:00:49 |
Right, you stay there. |
| 00:01:10 |
Dad? |
| 00:01:38 |
"I Can't Give You |
| 00:01:47 |
Hello? |
| 00:01:54 |
Come to mock, have you? |
| 00:01:57 |
I beg your pardon? |
| 00:02:00 |
That's something. |
| 00:02:03 |
Who? Those dreadful |
| 00:02:08 |
They said they wanted |
| 00:02:13 |
But then they only laughed at me. |
| 00:02:15 |
What are your films? |
| 00:02:19 |
You said you had some films. |
| 00:02:22 |
I won't laugh at you, I promise. |
| 00:02:27 |
You seem like a very well brought-up |
| 00:02:31 |
I think I might be in trouble. |
| 00:02:34 |
No? |
| 00:02:36 |
Dad says we have to get back home, |
| 00:02:39 |
It's such a special day. |
| 00:02:40 |
He says we'll remember today |
| 00:02:43 |
What's so special about today? |
| 00:02:45 |
They're going to land on the moon! |
| 00:02:50 |
Oh. |
| 00:02:53 |
The first men on the moon! |
| 00:02:57 |
Why are you laughing? |
| 00:03:01 |
You wouldn't believe me, |
| 00:03:03 |
even if I showed you the evidence. |
| 00:03:06 |
Nobody ever has... |
| 00:03:09 |
..in all these years. |
| 00:03:13 |
My name's Jim. |
| 00:03:18 |
Pleased to meet you, Jim. |
| 00:03:20 |
I'll believe you, I promise I will, |
| 00:03:23 |
Now then, you mustn't believe people |
| 00:03:28 |
Very well. |
| 00:03:31 |
You make yourself comfortable in |
| 00:03:36 |
But you must prepare yourself for |
| 00:03:38 |
Oh? Oh, yes indeed. |
| 00:03:41 |
You see, those chaps |
| 00:03:48 |
..they won't be |
| 00:03:51 |
They won't? No. |
| 00:03:54 |
I was the first man on the moon. |
| 00:03:58 |
You were? |
| 00:04:00 |
More than that... |
| 00:04:03 |
..I was the first man IN the moon. |
| 00:04:44 |
It was such a long, long time ago, |
| 00:04:47 |
back when old King Edward |
| 00:04:50 |
'I was a young man, an ambitious |
| 00:04:56 |
'into a company I was assured |
| 00:05:00 |
Bugger. |
| 00:05:01 |
'My creditors pressed me hard, |
| 00:05:07 |
'and it seemed to me at last |
| 00:05:11 |
'but to write a play. |
| 00:05:13 |
'And in any case, everyone |
| 00:05:18 |
'It was better than working |
| 00:05:24 |
'It was whilst waiting for the |
| 00:05:29 |
'that I first clapped eyes |
| 00:05:47 |
I say, do you mind awfully |
| 00:05:52 |
Beg pardon? |
| 00:05:53 |
Do you mind not making that row? |
| 00:05:56 |
My dear sir, |
| 00:06:01 |
Was I making a noise? |
| 00:06:03 |
Was I? How queer. |
| 00:06:06 |
I do get a little distracted. |
| 00:06:09 |
This, you see, |
| 00:06:11 |
I come here to enjoy the sunset. |
| 00:06:15 |
No. |
| 00:06:17 |
You're working, do you say? |
| 00:06:22 |
A writer? Really? |
| 00:06:24 |
How fascinating. |
| 00:06:31 |
You're doing it again. What? |
| 00:06:33 |
Nn-z-z-nn-zzz-gh! |
| 00:06:35 |
My mind is much occupied. |
| 00:06:40 |
Oh, really, but it was only |
| 00:06:42 |
No, no, I shall take |
| 00:06:46 |
Very sorry to have bothered you. |
| 00:06:49 |
Good night, sir. Good night. |
| 00:06:54 |
Um... |
| 00:07:01 |
I saw nothing of him for two days... |
| 00:07:06 |
I don't blame you in the least, |
| 00:07:10 |
but you've destroyed a routine, |
| 00:07:15 |
I've walked past here for years. |
| 00:07:18 |
No doubt I've hummed, buzzed, |
| 00:07:22 |
You've made all that impossible. |
| 00:07:24 |
if the thing is so important to |
| 00:07:26 |
You see, I am an investigator, |
| 00:07:31 |
and I am on the point of completing |
| 00:07:34 |
I can assure you, one of the most |
| 00:07:38 |
It requires constant thought, |
| 00:07:43 |
and the late afternoon |
| 00:07:45 |
I effervesce with new ideas. |
| 00:07:47 |
Well, you can still come by. |
| 00:07:50 |
It will all be different. |
| 00:07:52 |
I shall think of you, |
| 00:07:54 |
Yes, my play... |
| 00:07:58 |
I must have the cottage. |
| 00:08:00 |
Have the cottage? |
| 00:08:02 |
Hmm, yes, I must buy it from you, |
| 00:08:08 |
'But there was one tiny |
| 00:08:13 |
'It wasn't mine to sell. |
| 00:08:15 |
'I could see this would require |
| 00:08:18 |
Do you know, we haven't even |
| 00:08:22 |
Well, no doubt I should have heard |
| 00:08:26 |
I'm Cavor. Professor Arthur Cavor. |
| 00:08:29 |
Tell me more about |
| 00:08:32 |
Oh, no, no. |
| 00:08:34 |
Oh? Is it a secret? |
| 00:08:37 |
No, it's not that. |
| 00:08:40 |
Well, I suppose no-one else |
| 00:08:43 |
Oh, very much so. |
| 00:08:44 |
Then you must come over to the |
| 00:08:46 |
Yes! At once! Come over |
| 00:08:48 |
I have no doubt there will be tea, |
| 00:08:52 |
Come along. |
| 00:08:56 |
Er, radiant energy, |
| 00:08:59 |
light waves and radio waves |
| 00:09:01 |
All these things radiate out |
| 00:09:06 |
Do you follow? |
| 00:09:07 |
Now, all substances are opaque |
| 00:09:13 |
Opaque... |
| 00:09:15 |
Er, glass, for example. |
| 00:09:18 |
Transparent to light, |
| 00:09:21 |
much less so to heat, so that |
| 00:09:25 |
Yes. Yes, I see. |
| 00:09:28 |
Patience, patience. Now, |
| 00:09:30 |
all known substances |
| 00:09:33 |
are they not? |
| 00:09:35 |
You can use screens of various kinds |
| 00:09:38 |
You can shield things from Marconi's |
| 00:09:41 |
But nothing, nothing will cut off |
| 00:09:45 |
of the sun or of the Earth. |
| 00:09:47 |
Of course not. |
| 00:09:48 |
Hmm! |
| 00:09:49 |
Nothing until now. |
| 00:09:54 |
Come along. |
| 00:10:00 |
Cavorite! |
| 00:10:02 |
Cavorite? |
| 00:10:04 |
Isn't that the usual form? |
| 00:10:06 |
One invents a thing and then... |
| 00:10:09 |
Not at all! Not a bit of it! |
| 00:10:12 |
Out of the way, Faraday! |
| 00:10:14 |
Ohhh. |
| 00:10:16 |
Couldn't be more perfect. |
| 00:10:22 |
Gravity, you see. |
| 00:10:25 |
The force that pulls everything, |
| 00:10:27 |
including you and me, |
| 00:10:29 |
Without gravity, |
| 00:10:32 |
And over Cavorite, |
| 00:10:36 |
Is it safe? |
| 00:10:38 |
Oh, the stuff is completely inert |
| 00:10:43 |
Once it's cooled... |
| 00:10:46 |
..all the air above the apple |
| 00:10:52 |
There were one or two alarming |
| 00:10:55 |
Oh? Yes. |
| 00:10:56 |
I made a thin sheet of Cavorite, |
| 00:10:58 |
and all the air above it |
| 00:11:01 |
so it rushed upwards. |
| 00:11:03 |
More air poured in to replace it, |
| 00:11:05 |
and the same thing happened. |
| 00:11:06 |
Ah! You begin to see. |
| 00:11:08 |
It formed a sort of |
| 00:11:11 |
And if the sheet of Cavorite |
| 00:11:14 |
fountained into space, |
| 00:11:17 |
It would have whipped the air |
| 00:11:21 |
It would have been the end |
| 00:11:24 |
And that would have been awful. |
| 00:11:26 |
Really. |
| 00:11:29 |
At any rate, I've worked through |
| 00:11:33 |
It's not bananas we're concerned |
| 00:11:37 |
Look here, Cavor, are you serious? |
| 00:11:40 |
Sir Isaac Newton taught us why |
| 00:11:45 |
And from that fact it's very plain |
| 00:11:50 |
A brick, a bar, a boat, a cup |
| 00:12:09 |
My dear Cavor... |
| 00:12:11 |
This is incredible! |
| 00:12:15 |
You really think so? |
| 00:12:18 |
Think of the practical applications. |
| 00:12:20 |
Oh, practical applications. |
| 00:12:23 |
My God, don't you see? |
| 00:12:25 |
It's a miracle. A revolution! |
| 00:12:28 |
If you wanted to lift a weight, |
| 00:12:31 |
you'd only have to put |
| 00:12:34 |
and you could lift it with a straw. |
| 00:12:37 |
Heavens! I-I hadn't thought. |
| 00:12:42 |
Ironclads and weapons |
| 00:12:48 |
One stupendous Cavorite company... |
| 00:12:53 |
Oh, my dear Cavor, |
| 00:12:55 |
you...we...are on to the biggest |
| 00:13:00 |
We are? Yes! |
| 00:13:02 |
Yes! Well, I suppose we are! |
| 00:13:05 |
Oh! |
| 00:13:07 |
What about your play? |
| 00:13:09 |
My play? My play. |
| 00:13:11 |
Good heavens, |
| 00:13:14 |
I hadn't thought beyond pure |
| 00:13:18 |
How can you think so small? |
| 00:13:20 |
Here is a substance that |
| 00:13:23 |
no factory, no fortress, no ship |
| 00:13:27 |
It's more universally applicable |
| 00:13:34 |
There isn't one solitary aspect |
| 00:13:41 |
that will not make us rich, Cavor, |
| 00:13:43 |
beyond the dreams of avarice. |
| 00:13:47 |
Yes, I begin to see. |
| 00:13:49 |
It's extraordinary how one gets new |
| 00:13:53 |
And as it happens, |
| 00:13:56 |
I have very considerable |
| 00:13:59 |
You do? |
| 00:14:01 |
Oh, yes. |
| 00:14:06 |
'I did not, of course, tell him |
| 00:14:09 |
'that I was an undischarged bankrupt |
| 00:15:03 |
That's it! |
| 00:15:06 |
That settles it. |
| 00:15:07 |
A sort of roller blind. |
| 00:15:09 |
A sort of what? Space. Anywhere. |
| 00:15:12 |
The moon. |
| 00:15:15 |
Mean? Why, it must be a sphere, |
| 00:15:18 |
Cavor, I don't know... Imagine |
| 00:15:23 |
large enough to hold two people |
| 00:15:26 |
It would be made of metal, |
| 00:15:30 |
A sphere? |
| 00:15:32 |
But how would we breathe? |
| 00:15:35 |
Oh, that's the least of it. |
| 00:15:38 |
I worked out something years ago |
| 00:15:41 |
Then the exterior of the sphere |
| 00:15:45 |
With Cavorite? |
| 00:15:47 |
One could screw oneself in |
| 00:15:50 |
And as soon as it was cooled... |
| 00:15:52 |
It'd become impervious to gravity |
| 00:15:54 |
Yes, whoosh! |
| 00:15:56 |
Off one would go in a straight line. |
| 00:15:59 |
Ah, but what's to stop one going off |
| 00:16:03 |
Roller blinds. |
| 00:16:06 |
Mm. The inner sphere would be |
| 00:16:11 |
To get in and out. |
| 00:16:13 |
could be made in sections, |
| 00:16:16 |
after the fashion of a blind. |
| 00:16:18 |
When they're all shut - |
| 00:16:22 |
no radiant energy of any kind |
| 00:16:25 |
But open the blind |
| 00:16:30 |
would attract us. |
| 00:16:31 |
Oh, I see! |
| 00:16:33 |
Then it would be possible to tack |
| 00:16:37 |
Tack, tack, tack. |
| 00:16:39 |
The blinds would roll in upon |
| 00:16:44 |
when not required. |
| 00:16:46 |
I shall begin the calculations |
| 00:16:48 |
But hang it all, Cavor, the moon? |
| 00:16:53 |
You were the one who told me |
| 00:16:56 |
Why not go into space? |
| 00:16:57 |
It's not much worse |
| 00:16:59 |
Shackleton is on one now. Probably. |
| 00:17:02 |
Men go on polar expeditions. |
| 00:17:06 |
We would be just firing ourselves |
| 00:17:08 |
Think of what we would find there. |
| 00:17:10 |
What? Knowledge! |
| 00:17:14 |
Well, er, call it prospecting, then. |
| 00:17:17 |
I have no doubt |
| 00:17:19 |
Oh? Mm. Sulphur, ores, |
| 00:17:22 |
possibly new elements. Diamonds. |
| 00:17:24 |
Diamonds? |
| 00:17:27 |
Is there air up there? |
| 00:17:34 |
But the moon! It's hundreds |
| 00:17:37 |
A quarter of a million, actually. |
| 00:17:43 |
Cavorite liners. |
| 00:17:45 |
Fleets of them. |
| 00:17:48 |
And prospecting rights. |
| 00:17:50 |
Planetary prospecting rights. |
| 00:17:52 |
What did you say? |
| 00:17:56 |
Oh, but this is the thing, Cavor. |
| 00:17:58 |
This is... |
| 00:18:01 |
..imperial. |
| 00:18:03 |
Yes! |
| 00:18:09 |
But there isn't any air on the moon. |
| 00:18:12 |
Do pay attention, |
| 00:18:15 |
The summer passed, |
| 00:18:17 |
then autumn, |
| 00:18:18 |
and all the while, |
| 00:18:25 |
It was like labouring in Hades. |
| 00:18:27 |
Why? Because to keep |
| 00:18:31 |
we had to maintain the room |
| 00:18:35 |
A very warm temperature. |
| 00:19:04 |
Will you take that with you? Hm? |
| 00:19:07 |
The, er, kinematograph. |
| 00:19:09 |
Um, yes, yes, I suppose so. |
| 00:19:12 |
We'll have to have proof |
| 00:19:15 |
Everything all right, old man? |
| 00:19:19 |
I say, Cavor, we shall be able |
| 00:19:21 |
Yes, of course! I don't see why not. |
| 00:19:24 |
Probably. |
| 00:19:27 |
How's the, er, furnace? |
| 00:19:29 |
Oh. Er, yes, yes, fine. |
| 00:19:32 |
Hm. We're very close, Bedford. |
| 00:19:34 |
Exceedingly. |
| 00:19:36 |
Look here, Cavor... |
| 00:19:41 |
For? |
| 00:19:43 |
For?! The thing now is to go! Yes. |
| 00:19:45 |
But the moon! I thought... |
| 00:19:47 |
I thought it was a dead world. |
| 00:19:50 |
Well, we're going to see, aren't we? |
| 00:19:52 |
Are we? Are we really? |
| 00:19:56 |
Why don't you go for a stroll? |
| 00:19:58 |
The thing's too mad! What? |
| 00:20:01 |
I'm not going with you. |
| 00:20:04 |
But you must! We've planned |
| 00:20:06 |
I can't. I'm sorry. |
| 00:20:10 |
It's nothing, merely jumping |
| 00:20:13 |
Yes, I do remember. It was |
| 00:20:17 |
Bedford! |
| 00:21:15 |
Who'd want to leave the world |
| 00:21:19 |
Can I get you something, dear? |
| 00:21:21 |
Oh, um... |
| 00:21:23 |
Ah... |
| 00:21:27 |
Oh, thank you very much. |
| 00:21:39 |
You come far? |
| 00:21:42 |
I, um, needed some air. |
| 00:21:44 |
You going far? |
| 00:21:45 |
That's rather a moot point. |
| 00:21:51 |
Hmm, London. |
| 00:21:52 |
You know it? |
| 00:21:54 |
No, don't hold with it. No? |
| 00:21:57 |
No. All them folk pressed together |
| 00:22:01 |
Chichester's furthest I ever got. |
| 00:22:03 |
My late husband and me, |
| 00:22:07 |
Oh, yes? In a theatre! |
| 00:22:09 |
And what did you make of it? |
| 00:22:10 |
Well, there was a fella and a girl, |
| 00:22:17 |
Weren't even a true story, |
| 00:22:19 |
Didn't see the point of it myself. |
| 00:22:21 |
Not been anywhere else? |
| 00:22:25 |
What would you say |
| 00:22:28 |
Oh, never did hold with them |
| 00:22:31 |
Ooh, no. You wouldn't get me up in |
| 00:22:51 |
Cavor? Cavor! |
| 00:22:55 |
Cavor, I'm coming with you. |
| 00:22:57 |
I'm sorry about before. I got myself |
| 00:23:01 |
Splendid! |
| 00:23:02 |
You could not have returned |
| 00:23:22 |
Shall we? |
| 00:23:44 |
How are we doing? |
| 00:23:46 |
Er, shutter temperature's |
| 00:23:49 |
Capital! Storage hatches? |
| 00:23:51 |
Er, luggage in and locked. |
| 00:23:53 |
This is it, old man. |
| 00:23:55 |
Strap yourself in. |
| 00:23:58 |
Well, haven't you brought |
| 00:24:01 |
Good Lord, no! |
| 00:24:02 |
But the voyage may take an age. |
| 00:24:04 |
It doesn't matter. |
| 00:24:07 |
Have you never been to sea? |
| 00:24:13 |
Space doesn't even |
| 00:24:14 |
My dear Bedford, you will be |
| 00:24:37 |
Good Lord! Bedford! Hurry! |
| 00:24:52 |
Air filtration system working |
| 00:24:55 |
Any luck? |
| 00:24:58 |
Ah, well. Outside temperature? |
| 00:25:01 |
Hmm - superlative. |
| 00:25:03 |
Quick test of the shutters. |
| 00:25:09 |
Excellent. |
| 00:25:12 |
cabin lights should be dimmed |
| 00:25:15 |
Er, yes, I suppose so, yes. |
| 00:25:27 |
There. Any, um... |
| 00:25:31 |
Any... Last requests? |
| 00:25:33 |
No. |
| 00:25:34 |
Anything you'd like to say? |
| 00:25:37 |
We should say something. |
| 00:25:39 |
Don't you think? |
| 00:25:41 |
A momentous occasion, |
| 00:25:43 |
the first time in history... |
| 00:25:46 |
Christ, what was that? |
| 00:25:48 |
I'm a fool. I'm a ruddy fool. |
| 00:25:50 |
I want to get out. You can't. |
| 00:25:51 |
What do you mean? |
| 00:25:53 |
Didn't you feel that? |
| 00:25:56 |
We're off. |
| 00:26:18 |
Ah, well, we're committed. |
| 00:26:20 |
Uh...yes, we're committed. |
| 00:26:41 |
Don't move. |
| 00:26:44 |
Try and keep your muscles quite lax, |
| 00:26:49 |
That's it. |
| 00:26:53 |
We are in a little universe |
| 00:27:00 |
Look at that! |
| 00:27:03 |
Marvellous, isn't it? |
| 00:27:06 |
Marvellous... |
| 00:27:15 |
Magnetised, you see? |
| 00:27:17 |
Same principle as |
| 00:27:20 |
Should keep our feet on the ground, |
| 00:27:23 |
What's our direction, then? |
| 00:27:26 |
We're flying away from the Earth |
| 00:27:28 |
It's all worked out, |
| 00:27:32 |
Do you think...? |
| 00:27:35 |
Why not? |
| 00:27:55 |
What a sight. |
| 00:28:00 |
We're the first, Cavor. |
| 00:28:04 |
The very first to see it. |
| 00:28:08 |
Apart from God, I suppose. |
| 00:28:11 |
What? |
| 00:28:16 |
Oh. |
| 00:28:20 |
Oh, yes. |
| 00:28:30 |
'Days passed. |
| 00:28:32 |
'I began to think I had known no |
| 00:28:38 |
That's it. Blinds three, |
| 00:28:44 |
Moon's gravitational pull, you see. |
| 00:28:46 |
That will begin to affect us. |
| 00:28:48 |
"Gentleman of private means is |
| 00:28:52 |
What's that? |
| 00:28:54 |
"A cutaway bicycle. |
| 00:28:56 |
"Yours for a fiver." |
| 00:28:59 |
"A lady in distress wishes to |
| 00:29:04 |
Hmm? |
| 00:29:06 |
"A wedding present |
| 00:29:11 |
What is it? |
| 00:29:12 |
Just...it seems incredible, |
| 00:29:16 |
people down there living |
| 00:29:22 |
Are we visible, |
| 00:29:24 |
Why? |
| 00:29:26 |
I knew someone once |
| 00:29:28 |
It'd be rather odd if he chanced to |
| 00:29:31 |
There it is! |
| 00:29:43 |
Look here, Cavor, do you think...? |
| 00:29:46 |
I mean... |
| 00:29:48 |
Might there be...people? |
| 00:29:51 |
Oh, good heavens, no. |
| 00:29:55 |
Look at it. |
| 00:29:56 |
It's dead, Bedford. Dead. |
| 00:30:00 |
We must think of ourselves as sort |
| 00:30:05 |
exploring the desolate places |
| 00:30:09 |
Men have watched this planet |
| 00:30:12 |
for over 200 years |
| 00:30:14 |
and seen no change. |
| 00:30:18 |
Not a jot. |
| 00:30:19 |
But the moon people's handiwork |
| 00:30:26 |
One could see a fair-sized church |
| 00:30:30 |
Probably. |
| 00:30:31 |
Certainly any towns or buildings. |
| 00:30:33 |
No, no, whatever life there might be |
| 00:30:35 |
would have to hibernate through |
| 00:30:41 |
and then through |
| 00:30:44 |
growing colder and colder |
| 00:30:47 |
under those cold, sharp stars. |
| 00:30:50 |
One could imagine |
| 00:30:56 |
Did we bring a gun? |
| 00:30:58 |
No. |
| 00:31:01 |
But, sir, we could name them, |
| 00:31:06 |
Um... |
| 00:31:07 |
Lunite worms. |
| 00:31:11 |
Lunite... Oh, no, I don't like that. |
| 00:31:15 |
Lunarites? |
| 00:31:17 |
Selenites! Selenites? |
| 00:31:20 |
Yes, yes. In Greek myth, Selene |
| 00:31:24 |
I recall it from my school days. |
| 00:31:26 |
But I doubt if we shall find |
| 00:31:42 |
Well, this is it, Bedford, old man. |
| 00:31:45 |
There may be some discomfort. |
| 00:31:50 |
Hold tight. |
| 00:32:02 |
For God's sake, Cavor, the light! |
| 00:32:05 |
Can't be helped. |
| 00:32:12 |
What the hell's that? |
| 00:32:15 |
what do the instruments read? What? |
| 00:32:18 |
The number! Read the number! Er... |
| 00:32:22 |
1202. I'll ignore it. |
| 00:32:25 |
What?! What does it mean? |
| 00:32:27 |
Agh! |
| 00:32:54 |
Cavor? |
| 00:32:59 |
Cavor, are you all right? |
| 00:33:03 |
Am I alive? |
| 00:33:06 |
Yes, you're alive, Cavor. |
| 00:33:10 |
Oh, Cavor! |
| 00:33:11 |
My God! |
| 00:33:13 |
We've done it. |
| 00:33:15 |
The moon. |
| 00:33:24 |
Uh...lights. |
| 00:33:26 |
Ah! |
| 00:33:46 |
Hm! |
| 00:33:52 |
I can see... |
| 00:33:56 |
I can see snow! |
| 00:33:58 |
Snow! Impossible! |
| 00:34:01 |
Probably. |
| 00:34:03 |
Hang it all. |
| 00:34:07 |
Ah, well, we must wait, old man. |
| 00:34:09 |
Wait? |
| 00:34:13 |
Can you reach the electric heaters? |
| 00:34:16 |
Yes, the atmosphere suits |
| 00:34:20 |
We shall be all set |
| 00:34:22 |
What are you doing? |
| 00:34:24 |
What does it look like? |
| 00:34:28 |
Can't wait to find out |
| 00:34:31 |
But... Patience, Bedford, old man. |
| 00:34:33 |
The moon has been here |
| 00:34:36 |
I'm sure it will wait a little |
| 00:34:38 |
But confound it, Cavor, at this rate, |
| 00:35:13 |
Cavor? |
| 00:35:19 |
Cavor! |
| 00:35:20 |
Hm? What is it? What's happening? |
| 00:35:39 |
Incredible. |
| 00:35:41 |
It's absolutely incredible. |
| 00:35:48 |
It's air. |
| 00:35:51 |
It must be, or it wouldn't rise like |
| 00:35:55 |
Air? |
| 00:35:57 |
It wasn't snow you saw, Bedford. |
| 00:36:05 |
Look, already, |
| 00:36:13 |
There is an atmosphere. |
| 00:36:15 |
Then we might be able to |
| 00:36:18 |
without the suits. |
| 00:36:21 |
We shall soon see. |
| 00:37:08 |
It's all right. |
| 00:37:11 |
Bedford, it's all right. |
| 00:37:13 |
A bit rarefied, like mountain air. |
| 00:37:18 |
We must be careful. |
| 00:37:33 |
O wonder |
| 00:37:35 |
How beauteous mankind is |
| 00:37:38 |
O brave new world! |
| 00:37:41 |
I see the Bard's rubbed off on you. |
| 00:37:47 |
Isn't it astonishing? |
| 00:37:52 |
Imperial. |
| 00:37:59 |
Well, then? |
| 00:38:01 |
Well, what? |
| 00:38:02 |
The honour must be yours. |
| 00:38:04 |
Oh, no, Bedford, old man, I insist. |
| 00:38:08 |
Oh, nonsense, Cavor. |
| 00:38:09 |
This whole fantastic enterprise |
| 00:38:12 |
Arthur Cavor, |
| 00:38:18 |
Of course! |
| 00:38:20 |
Our weight is only a sixth |
| 00:38:27 |
We have cut |
| 00:38:32 |
Wey! |
| 00:38:36 |
Whoo-hoo! |
| 00:39:07 |
Pre-stiffened, you see. |
| 00:39:12 |
I claim this satellite in the name |
| 00:39:17 |
King of the British Dominions, |
| 00:39:20 |
and for all mankind. |
| 00:39:24 |
What is this for us |
| 00:39:26 |
but a tiny footfall... |
| 00:39:29 |
Cavor! |
| 00:39:32 |
What is it? I think it's... |
| 00:39:44 |
It is. |
| 00:39:47 |
It's gold. |
| 00:39:51 |
Look at it! |
| 00:39:53 |
It's everywhere! |
| 00:39:56 |
There's gold everywhere! |
| 00:39:58 |
So there is. |
| 00:40:00 |
You don't seem in the least |
| 00:40:02 |
I had hoped... |
| 00:40:06 |
No, it doesn't matter. What? |
| 00:40:09 |
Oh, don't worry, old man. We'll |
| 00:40:14 |
It's not that. |
| 00:40:16 |
It's just...once we discovered |
| 00:40:22 |
..I had hoped we might find... |
| 00:40:30 |
..life. |
| 00:40:38 |
How does the rest of |
| 00:40:41 |
A brave new world... |
| 00:40:45 |
That has such people in it. |
| 00:41:14 |
Good Lord! |
| 00:41:21 |
Burrowing worms, you said. Ants. |
| 00:41:28 |
Cavor! |
| 00:41:29 |
What is it? |
| 00:41:35 |
Oh, no! |
| 00:41:48 |
Oh, Lord, my head. |
| 00:41:50 |
Where are we? |
| 00:41:55 |
I'm tied. Why have you tied me up? |
| 00:41:58 |
They?! The, um, Selenites. |
| 00:42:03 |
Oh, God... Oh, Lord, I remember now. |
| 00:42:07 |
What are we going to do? |
| 00:42:10 |
Hmm...no idea. |
| 00:42:13 |
Will you stop that infernal noise! |
| 00:42:16 |
Very sorry, I'm sure. |
| 00:42:17 |
Just trying to, you know, think(!) |
| 00:42:45 |
Um... |
| 00:42:55 |
Um... |
| 00:42:57 |
How do you do? |
| 00:43:10 |
How do you do(?) Well, one of us |
| 00:43:14 |
And they're clearly intelligent, |
| 00:43:17 |
I suppose that anywhere |
| 00:43:22 |
...it will carry the brain case |
| 00:43:27 |
Damn it, Cavor, |
| 00:43:29 |
Well, I imagine they're curious. |
| 00:43:33 |
Curious the way the African savage |
| 00:43:35 |
Curious enough to boil us in a pot? |
| 00:43:36 |
Now you're being alarmist. |
| 00:43:40 |
I think we must be some way in. |
| 00:43:44 |
Inside the moon. It's cooler, |
| 00:43:48 |
Must be some depth, a mile or so, |
| 00:43:53 |
Oh! I suppose you never thought |
| 00:43:55 |
No! And now it seems |
| 00:43:59 |
Well, I wish you'd taken the trouble |
| 00:44:01 |
Well, how could I? |
| 00:44:07 |
What the hell did we come for, |
| 00:44:10 |
What was the moon to us, |
| 00:44:14 |
We should have started smaller. |
| 00:44:15 |
Now, look here, Bedford, |
| 00:44:17 |
you came on this expedition |
| 00:44:19 |
You said to me, |
| 00:44:22 |
There are always risks |
| 00:44:24 |
Besides, I was so taken up |
| 00:44:26 |
The thing rushed up on us |
| 00:44:29 |
Rushed up on me, you mean. |
| 00:44:33 |
All I wanted was to be |
| 00:44:35 |
It was you who confounded me with |
| 00:44:40 |
Well, you've got your wish now, |
| 00:44:41 |
Look at the chains that bind you. |
| 00:44:43 |
Solid gold. |
| 00:44:49 |
Oh, Lord, Cavor, what now? |
| 00:45:03 |
Cavor, what are you doing? |
| 00:45:31 |
Oh, Lord. |
| 00:45:33 |
It's horrible. It's horrible! |
| 00:45:36 |
Just try to think of them |
| 00:45:41 |
Oh, I hate moths. |
| 00:45:44 |
Oh, God, it's making my skin crawl! |
| 00:45:47 |
Keep calm, old man. |
| 00:45:49 |
These, er, Selenites, or whatever |
| 00:45:56 |
We must try and keep a cool head. |
| 00:46:36 |
The problem is |
| 00:46:39 |
Communication?! These things |
| 00:46:43 |
They're more different to us |
| 00:46:46 |
They're of a different clay. |
| 00:46:48 |
No, no, I don't see that. |
| 00:46:50 |
They have minds, we have minds. |
| 00:46:52 |
They are ants on their hind legs, |
| 00:46:55 |
and whoever got to any sort of |
| 00:46:57 |
But think of that great iris |
| 00:47:00 |
The difference is wide, yes. |
| 00:47:03 |
But is it? |
| 00:47:04 |
We could begin with the things |
| 00:47:08 |
The great principles of geometry, |
| 00:47:11 |
Oh! Oh, yes, why not(?) |
| 00:47:14 |
"The sum of the hypotenuse is equal |
| 00:47:17 |
Why are you being so difficult? |
| 00:47:20 |
Besides, it's the sum of |
| 00:47:23 |
Oh, shut up! |
| 00:47:27 |
Why didn't I stick to my play? |
| 00:47:30 |
That was what I was equal to. |
| 00:47:32 |
That was my world, |
| 00:47:34 |
Could have finished it. |
| 00:47:36 |
What do I do? I leap to the moon. |
| 00:47:40 |
I've thrown my life away. |
| 00:47:43 |
The old woman in the inn |
| 00:47:46 |
It is clear they are intelligent. |
| 00:47:48 |
One can hypotheticate certain |
| 00:47:50 |
As they have not killed us at once, |
| 00:47:54 |
At any rate, of restraint. |
| 00:47:58 |
Oh, shut up. |
| 00:48:54 |
Well? |
| 00:48:58 |
Smells like mushrooms. |
| 00:49:02 |
It's mushroom soup. |
| 00:49:06 |
Food. They're giving us food. |
| 00:49:08 |
The fundamentals of life, |
| 00:49:10 |
They do understand. |
| 00:49:12 |
Mm! |
| 00:49:20 |
Are you going to try |
| 00:49:22 |
If I get a chance. Of course, |
| 00:49:29 |
Do you think they want us |
| 00:49:31 |
I don't think so. |
| 00:49:34 |
I can't make anything |
| 00:49:37 |
This one is worrying with his head, |
| 00:49:44 |
Um...delicious. |
| 00:49:47 |
Yum, yum! |
| 00:50:13 |
Great heavens! |
| 00:50:16 |
It's stupendous. |
| 00:50:22 |
What is it? |
| 00:50:23 |
A machine? |
| 00:50:27 |
Hard to say. |
| 00:50:29 |
Perhaps more like a vast...brain. |
| 00:50:36 |
What do you think it does? |
| 00:50:40 |
Ow! |
| 00:50:43 |
Yes, yes! |
| 00:50:47 |
Can't we show them we're |
| 00:50:49 |
Oh, they may think |
| 00:50:53 |
It would be a good idea to show |
| 00:50:57 |
Um...we look at this. Yes? |
| 00:51:02 |
We think machine jolly good. |
| 00:51:08 |
Good machine. Clever machine. |
| 00:51:10 |
Well done. |
| 00:51:11 |
Ow! It pricked me with a sword! |
| 00:51:15 |
We're not going to stand for that. |
| 00:51:21 |
Cavor... Hmm? |
| 00:51:24 |
The shackles. |
| 00:51:27 |
Gold! Well, yes, I told you that. |
| 00:51:29 |
No, I mean it's...soft. |
| 00:51:33 |
It's a very soft metal. |
| 00:51:34 |
Well, it may be |
| 00:51:37 |
evolving, as they must, |
| 00:51:40 |
I think I can get loose. |
| 00:51:42 |
Get loose? Where would we go? |
| 00:51:45 |
Back to the sphere, of course. |
| 00:51:47 |
But don't... |
| 00:51:49 |
This is a whole new world, Bedford. |
| 00:51:53 |
I'm old-fashioned, Cavor. |
| 00:51:54 |
I like to do my learning |
| 00:51:56 |
not shackled like a beast. |
| 00:52:02 |
Surely they don't expect |
| 00:52:04 |
No! No, we can't cross |
| 00:52:08 |
I couldn't get three steps across |
| 00:52:11 |
They can't know what it is to be |
| 00:52:15 |
Um, bridge no good. |
| 00:52:18 |
Um, make man dizzy. |
| 00:52:22 |
I don't think they understand. |
| 00:52:25 |
No! Stop that! |
| 00:52:29 |
I am not some sausage |
| 00:52:32 |
I say, Bedford, I think I know a way |
| 00:52:34 |
Right, if you do that again... |
| 00:52:44 |
Oh, no, no, no, no, no! |
| 00:52:48 |
Cavor, quickly, your chains. |
| 00:52:50 |
Oh, you've ruined everything! |
| 00:52:52 |
What? We have to make a run for it. |
| 00:52:56 |
Come on, man. Come on! |
| 00:53:01 |
Come on! |
| 00:53:12 |
You spoilt it all! |
| 00:53:15 |
This way. You seem very sure. |
| 00:53:18 |
We must find a way |
| 00:53:22 |
It's our only chance. |
| 00:53:37 |
Come on! |
| 00:53:41 |
Rest. Can we rest? |
| 00:53:43 |
No time. |
| 00:53:45 |
I've lost all sense of direction. |
| 00:53:51 |
It's all your fault. |
| 00:53:53 |
My fault? I had an idea. |
| 00:53:56 |
Oh, hang your ideas. |
| 00:53:58 |
they'd have carried us. |
| 00:54:01 |
Yes! Balderdash. Now get up. |
| 00:54:03 |
Get up, or I'll ruddy well |
| 00:54:14 |
It's daylight. |
| 00:54:16 |
Er, well... It must be. |
| 00:54:18 |
We're saved, Cavor. Come on. |
| 00:54:20 |
Come on! Just a minute, old man. |
| 00:54:25 |
Ohhhh, bugger! |
| 00:54:29 |
I thought it was daylight. |
| 00:54:31 |
We should eat again. Might as well |
| 00:54:35 |
What a rotten piece of luck this is. |
| 00:54:38 |
Here we are, burrowing in this |
| 00:54:43 |
and those things chasing us. |
| 00:54:45 |
I don't think we can judge the |
| 00:54:49 |
This area of the crust could be some |
| 00:54:55 |
Wales? |
| 00:54:57 |
If we could hold out |
| 00:55:00 |
then news of our arrival might |
| 00:55:05 |
What, with clever Selenites? |
| 00:55:07 |
Yes. Selenites like you, you mean? |
| 00:55:09 |
Yes, if you like. |
| 00:55:11 |
Oh, don't be absurd. |
| 00:55:14 |
Oh, good God, man, |
| 00:55:16 |
Suppose a Selenite had dropped onto |
| 00:55:21 |
You'd have been the last person |
| 00:55:24 |
you never read a newspaper. Now, |
| 00:55:28 |
We have shown ourselves |
| 00:55:30 |
strong, dangerous animals. |
| 00:55:31 |
You have! |
| 00:55:34 |
they will hunt us and kill us, |
| 00:55:36 |
Maybe after we're dead and gone, |
| 00:55:39 |
pickle us in jars, but we shan't |
| 00:55:42 |
Then what do you suggest? The gold! |
| 00:55:45 |
It's lying around, like cast iron at |
| 00:55:49 |
we might be able to put things |
| 00:55:52 |
A sounder footing? |
| 00:55:53 |
Come back in a bigger sphere. |
| 00:55:58 |
What? |
| 00:55:59 |
I should have come to the moon |
| 00:56:02 |
Now listen, Cavor, I've got half |
| 00:56:05 |
and this is the time for a practical |
| 00:56:16 |
It's water! |
| 00:56:17 |
Come on, come on. |
| 00:56:36 |
What is it? |
| 00:56:38 |
Shame. |
| 00:56:41 |
What is? |
| 00:56:43 |
That the moon isn't made |
| 00:56:46 |
I quite fancy a bit of cheese |
| 00:56:50 |
Pull yourself together, man. |
| 00:56:53 |
Indubitably. |
| 00:56:55 |
You can have all the cheese you like |
| 00:57:01 |
If I can get us back. |
| 00:57:03 |
What do you mean? |
| 00:57:05 |
How long do you think we've been |
| 00:57:09 |
What? How long? |
| 00:57:10 |
Two days, perhaps. |
| 00:57:13 |
More like ten. Ten? |
| 00:57:15 |
Yes. But we've hardly eaten. |
| 00:57:17 |
I know. |
| 00:57:20 |
Everything. |
| 00:57:24 |
The sun will be past its zenith |
| 00:57:27 |
and soon the night will come. |
| 00:57:31 |
Think what we might have done, |
| 00:57:33 |
what might be down here. |
| 00:57:36 |
Caverns beneath caverns. |
| 00:57:40 |
It must open out and become greater, |
| 00:57:46 |
Probably. |
| 00:57:48 |
There might even be a sea. |
| 00:57:50 |
A sea? Yes. |
| 00:57:52 |
Washing around the core of the moon. |
| 00:57:56 |
Think of the strange tides |
| 00:58:02 |
Perhaps there are mighty cities |
| 00:58:07 |
wisdom and order |
| 00:58:13 |
And we might die here |
| 00:58:20 |
We can come back. |
| 00:58:22 |
But if I take the secret of Cavorite |
| 00:58:26 |
what will happen? |
| 00:58:31 |
Sooner or later, it must come out, |
| 00:58:34 |
and then governments and powers |
| 00:58:37 |
They will fight against one another, |
| 00:58:42 |
and in a little while... |
| 00:58:45 |
..in a very little while... |
| 00:58:49 |
..this planet, to its deepest |
| 00:58:54 |
..will be strewn with the dead. |
| 00:58:58 |
Look, Cavor, if the night is coming, |
| 00:59:01 |
then that great corkscrew affair |
| 00:59:07 |
Well, then, we've got to get out of |
| 00:59:10 |
They've found us. |
| 00:59:13 |
We can't stay and fight them. |
| 00:59:15 |
What? |
| 00:59:18 |
No, no, |
| 00:59:20 |
It's like hitting cinder toffee. |
| 00:59:21 |
Haven't we done enough? |
| 00:59:23 |
I can't leave you. |
| 00:59:25 |
We must split up. You get back |
| 00:59:28 |
But, Cavor... |
| 00:59:32 |
Au revoir. |
| 00:59:35 |
Go! Go! |
| 01:00:02 |
'I ran on and on, |
| 01:00:04 |
'desperate to show the Selenites |
| 01:00:08 |
'I didn't have a clue |
| 01:00:13 |
'A long lunar night was approaching, |
| 01:00:17 |
'and the moon would soon |
| 01:00:20 |
'like the lid of a tomb.' |
| 01:00:39 |
The sphere... |
| 01:00:42 |
The sphere! |
| 01:00:43 |
'It was incredible. |
| 01:00:45 |
'But there it was, |
| 01:00:47 |
'hiding almost in plain sight.' |
| 01:01:02 |
'And then I heard it.' |
| 01:01:04 |
'The iris. |
| 01:01:06 |
'The iris was closing... |
| 01:01:11 |
'...and with it all my hopes. |
| 01:01:13 |
'My whole being shrank from this. |
| 01:01:16 |
'I must get away from the moon, |
| 01:01:22 |
Cavor! |
| 01:01:25 |
Cavor! |
| 01:01:26 |
The sphere! I've found it! |
| 01:01:30 |
Cavor! |
| 01:01:35 |
Cavor! |
| 01:01:40 |
Cavor! |
| 01:01:47 |
Cavor! |
| 01:02:20 |
I'll come back! |
| 01:02:23 |
I promise I'll come back. |
| 01:02:50 |
Ohhh. |
| 01:02:51 |
Oh, please! |
| 01:03:07 |
Sorry, old man. |
| 01:03:13 |
Wah! |
| 01:03:50 |
Ohh. |
| 01:04:08 |
Hello. |
| 01:04:13 |
Um...good. |
| 01:04:17 |
Very good. |
| 01:04:21 |
Good. |
| 01:04:24 |
Very...good. |
| 01:04:29 |
Yes! |
| 01:04:30 |
Capital! Wonderful! |
| 01:04:39 |
No, no. Don't be afraid. Please. |
| 01:04:43 |
Um... |
| 01:04:45 |
I'm Cavor. No, no. |
| 01:04:47 |
Um...um... |
| 01:04:49 |
I'm man. |
| 01:04:51 |
I'm a man. Er, hu-man. |
| 01:04:53 |
Hu-man. |
| 01:05:10 |
Moon. |
| 01:05:12 |
Moan. |
| 01:05:19 |
come from Earth. Harth. |
| 01:05:23 |
Earth. |
| 01:05:27 |
Earth. |
| 01:07:43 |
Oh, God. |
| 01:08:15 |
Tack about, Cavor said. |
| 01:08:18 |
Like a sailing boat. |
| 01:08:34 |
Au revoir. |
| 01:08:48 |
How do you do? |
| 01:08:51 |
If I may said... |
| 01:08:52 |
Er, "say". "If I may say..." |
| 01:08:56 |
Yes. Hmm. If I may say, draw. |
| 01:09:00 |
Eat little. Drink little. |
| 01:09:03 |
Like draw. An artist. |
| 01:09:05 |
Love draw. Love no other thing. |
| 01:09:08 |
He like you. New thing to draw. |
| 01:09:11 |
If you understand me, old man. |
| 01:09:13 |
Striking. Ugly. Eh? |
| 01:09:16 |
Yes. Yes, I see... |
| 01:09:18 |
Another, for instance, |
| 01:09:22 |
Remember wonderful, more than any. |
| 01:09:25 |
Think? No. |
| 01:09:26 |
Draw? No. |
| 01:09:29 |
Remember? Yes. |
| 01:09:31 |
Histories. All things. |
| 01:09:33 |
Hear once, remember ever. |
| 01:09:36 |
Yes, yes. |
| 01:09:39 |
Astonishing. You're all fitted |
| 01:09:44 |
an absolute specificity of function, |
| 01:09:46 |
to think, to draw, to teach, |
| 01:09:50 |
Yes. Good show. Probably. |
| 01:09:53 |
And only those attributes that will |
| 01:09:58 |
The rest of the body atrophies. |
| 01:10:01 |
Don't quite follow you, old man. |
| 01:10:04 |
Er...shrivels, dies away. |
| 01:10:08 |
Hmm! On moon, all know place. |
| 01:10:11 |
Born to that place. |
| 01:10:13 |
And you have no idea of anything |
| 01:10:16 |
other than the function |
| 01:10:18 |
Why should we? |
| 01:10:20 |
But who decides this? |
| 01:10:23 |
Decides? Yes. |
| 01:10:25 |
There must be some administrator, |
| 01:10:32 |
Er, a president? |
| 01:10:34 |
A king! |
| 01:10:37 |
The Grand Lunar. |
| 01:10:40 |
Oh! |
| 01:10:59 |
What happens now? |
| 01:11:01 |
See Grand Lunar. |
| 01:11:03 |
Yes, I got that. |
| 01:11:05 |
An audience. |
| 01:11:09 |
Hmm! The Grand Lunar |
| 01:11:13 |
Can he do that? |
| 01:12:04 |
Man. |
| 01:12:09 |
Er, yes, sir. |
| 01:12:11 |
Man. |
| 01:12:13 |
Man. From Earth. |
| 01:12:16 |
That's right. |
| 01:12:19 |
Extraordinary! Wonderful! |
| 01:12:22 |
I wish to know |
| 01:12:24 |
the state of your world |
| 01:12:28 |
and why you have come to this. |
| 01:12:32 |
Yes, of course. |
| 01:12:34 |
A perfectly reasonable request. |
| 01:12:36 |
The Earth is to the moon |
| 01:12:42 |
Our astronomical observations |
| 01:12:46 |
had led us to believe |
| 01:12:50 |
As did ours |
| 01:12:58 |
And what do you know |
| 01:13:05 |
The...interior? |
| 01:13:10 |
Well, nothing. |
| 01:13:14 |
But does not your ruler, |
| 01:13:19 |
desire to know such things? |
| 01:13:21 |
We have no...Grand Earthly. |
| 01:13:27 |
We have democracy. |
| 01:13:30 |
Well, mostly. |
| 01:13:35 |
All men rule. |
| 01:13:37 |
All?! |
| 01:13:54 |
Gentleman of private means |
| 01:14:01 |
Gentleman of private means... |
| 01:14:03 |
Derby hat. |
| 01:14:05 |
Nice. Sane. Normal. |
| 01:14:08 |
Sane. Normal. |
| 01:14:11 |
Lady in distress wishes to |
| 01:14:14 |
Lady in distress wishes to |
| 01:14:23 |
Could have done with those |
| 01:14:26 |
Fish knives on the moon! |
| 01:14:28 |
Could have seen off one of those |
| 01:14:31 |
Yes, the moon! I went there. |
| 01:14:34 |
It was charming. It was charming. |
| 01:14:37 |
Charming! It was charming. |
| 01:14:39 |
A cottage for rent. |
| 01:14:44 |
A cottage. Excellent terms, |
| 01:14:50 |
Bricks, mortar, slates... |
| 01:14:54 |
Sunshine. |
| 01:15:16 |
Hello. |
| 01:15:21 |
An ironclad can fire shot for 12 |
| 01:15:28 |
And torpedoes. |
| 01:15:32 |
You mean to say that you run about |
| 01:15:37 |
this world whose riches you have |
| 01:15:43 |
Well... |
| 01:15:46 |
Yes. |
| 01:15:47 |
Why? |
| 01:15:49 |
Well, for profit, or territory. |
| 01:15:53 |
For, you know... |
| 01:15:59 |
..stuff. |
| 01:16:01 |
But surely man does not like war? |
| 01:16:07 |
I'm afraid men of my race |
| 01:16:10 |
the most glorious experience |
| 01:16:16 |
But we are not all alike! |
| 01:16:18 |
I came here purely in a spirit |
| 01:16:25 |
Your moon is a miracle to me. |
| 01:16:30 |
Beautiful. |
| 01:16:33 |
Astounding. |
| 01:16:34 |
You have told me of your cities, |
| 01:16:41 |
But how did you come to be here? Ah! |
| 01:16:45 |
Well, I'm afraid I might have to |
| 01:16:51 |
Trum...pet? |
| 01:16:53 |
Yes, er, a little invention of mine. |
| 01:16:56 |
I call it Cavorite. |
| 01:17:00 |
Tell me of...Cavorite. |
| 01:17:40 |
Hello there! |
| 01:17:46 |
Hello? |
| 01:17:51 |
England? Is this England? |
| 01:17:55 |
Well, of course it is. |
| 01:17:59 |
Oh, God! |
| 01:18:00 |
Oh, Lord! I made it! I got back! |
| 01:18:04 |
I say, what on earth is that thing? |
| 01:18:07 |
Can you tell me where we are? |
| 01:18:09 |
West Wittering. |
| 01:18:11 |
West...? It's incredible. |
| 01:18:17 |
Have you been wrecked or something? |
| 01:18:21 |
By Jove, you must have had a time |
| 01:18:26 |
Er, something of the kind. |
| 01:18:29 |
Look, I need help. Well, yes, yes! |
| 01:18:31 |
And food. Bacon. Eggs. Anything. |
| 01:18:34 |
Yes, well, I'll help you up |
| 01:18:37 |
(I have some things |
| 01:18:41 |
Oh? Gold. |
| 01:18:44 |
Ah! There's more of it |
| 01:18:46 |
I have to get it out. |
| 01:18:48 |
No, no. |
| 01:18:49 |
Y-You stay here and rest. |
| 01:18:54 |
I'll get them for you. |
| 01:18:57 |
By all means. |
| 01:19:01 |
You just get your puff back. |
| 01:19:27 |
Oh, for pity's sake, don't touch... |
| 01:19:32 |
..anything. |
| 01:19:49 |
'And so ended my lunar adventure. |
| 01:19:54 |
'I had some gold, of course, |
| 01:19:57 |
'and that got me started, though |
| 01:20:02 |
I never was much of a businessman. |
| 01:20:05 |
But you never went back? |
| 01:20:08 |
The sphere was lost for ever, |
| 01:20:11 |
and I knew no more of the secret |
| 01:20:16 |
..than the man in the moon. |
| 01:20:21 |
I had my precious kinematograph |
| 01:20:25 |
but no-one's ever taken them |
| 01:20:29 |
They say I must have faked it all |
| 01:20:34 |
What about Professor Cavor? |
| 01:20:38 |
No. |
| 01:20:42 |
No, he never did. |
| 01:20:46 |
But I heard from him. |
| 01:20:48 |
How? By wireless. |
| 01:20:52 |
Huh? |
| 01:20:53 |
'About six months later, I read |
| 01:20:59 |
'He had been experimenting |
| 01:21:03 |
'akin to that used by Tesla. |
| 01:21:06 |
'His hope was to discover some method |
| 01:21:12 |
'What he received instead |
| 01:21:18 |
'that seemed to come from the moon.' |
| 01:21:25 |
'I have been given |
| 01:21:28 |
'perhaps more than they realise, |
| 01:21:31 |
'or I would not have been able |
| 01:21:37 |
'I was a fool to tell the Grand |
| 01:21:41 |
'for now mankind's troubles |
| 01:21:45 |
'Bedford and I showed them violence, |
| 01:21:50 |
'and I, idiot that I am, |
| 01:21:55 |
'with my tales of battles |
| 01:21:59 |
'Now the Selenites |
| 01:22:04 |
'To preserve their way of life |
| 01:22:09 |
'a pre-emptive strike |
| 01:22:15 |
'But there is yet a chance of |

'God knows, I blame myself |
| 01:22:21 |
'for bringing both the Earth |
| 01:23:10 |
What have you done, old man? |
| 01:23:14 |
Something very like almost happened |
| 01:23:19 |
you see, my friend. |
| 01:23:21 |
I told Bedford. |
| 01:23:25 |
All the air above the Cavorite |
| 01:23:29 |
and is forced up violently. |
| 01:23:34 |
The air that rushes in to replace it |
| 01:23:37 |
and so on and so on. |
| 01:23:42 |
And now there is nothing |
| 01:23:46 |
The Cavorite has soaked |
| 01:23:51 |
As soon as it's cooled, |
| 01:23:53 |
all of the moon's air |
| 01:24:03 |
I'm... I'm so very sorry. |
| 01:24:46 |
That's my story. |
| 01:24:47 |
Believe it if you like, or don't. |
| 01:24:50 |
Jim? |
| 01:24:54 |
No, no, I don't want to go! |
| 01:24:56 |
I'm ever so sorry. |
| 01:24:59 |
Always asking questions, is Jim. |
| 01:25:01 |
Not at all, sir. Not at all. |
| 01:25:04 |
It's a special day. |
| 01:25:07 |
Didn't I tell you not to wander off? |
| 01:25:09 |
Thanks for looking after him. |
| 01:25:10 |
Mr Bedford? Hm? |
| 01:25:13 |
Thanks. |
| 01:25:19 |
Thank you. |
| 01:25:23 |
Come on, then, we have to hurry. |
| 01:25:25 |
It doesn't start for ages, does it? |
| 01:25:26 |
It doesn't matter! I want to get |
| 01:25:50 |
'Houston, this is Neil. Radio check.' |
| 01:25:52 |
'Neil, this is Houston. |
| 01:25:56 |
'Buzz, this is Houston.' |
| 01:25:58 |
Come on, woman, it's historic, |
| 01:26:00 |
Oh, my tea's gone cold. |
| 01:26:03 |
'Roger, TV circuit breaker's in.' |
| 01:26:05 |
Would anyone like a pikelet? |
| 01:26:10 |
I'd like a pikelet. |
| 01:26:12 |
Shut up, we're missing it! |
| 01:26:14 |
'We're getting a picture on the TV!' |
| 01:26:16 |
They're taking their time. |
| 01:26:18 |
'Got a good picture?' |
| 01:26:21 |
'There's a great deal |
| 01:26:24 |
