Rod Serling: Narrator, Self - Host

Quotes 

• Narrator : [opening narration, early draft; later shortened]  Submitted for your approval, or at least your analysis: one Patrick Thomas McNulty... who, at age forty-one, is the biggest bore on Earth. He holds a ten-year record for the greatest number of the most meaningless words ever spewed out during a coffee break. And it's very likely that, as of this moment, he would have gone through life in precisely this manner: a long-winded and self-centered know-it-all whose sole significant, if hardly marketable, talent is for setting the art of conversation back a thousand years... give or take a century. I say he very likely would have, except for something that will soon happen to him... something that will considerably alter his existence, and ours. You think about that now, because this is The Twilight Zone.

• Narrator : [Closing Narration]  Mr. Patrick Thomas McNulty, who had a gift of time. He used it and he misused it, and now he's just been handed the bill. Tonight's tale of motion and McNulty - in the Twilight Zone.
