Invasion of the Body Snatchers Page #6

I'd rather die.

No.

No.

Not unless there's no other way.

Why didn't they

give us a shot...

or a sleeping pill or something?

Drugs dull the mind.

Maybe that's the reason.

No. It wouldn't work.

I might get one or even two,

but I couldn't get three.

You're forgetting something,

darling--me.

It isn't three against one.

It's three against two.

Give me a knife.

No.

There.

Go by the desk.

What's going on in there?

Miles!

Unlock the door!

Miles, open the door!

Open the door, Miles!

JACK, Aah!

Open the door!

Oh! Aah!

Oh!

Our only hope is

to make it to the highway.

That does it.

The only other way

is out the front door...

and there's bound

to be somebody watching.

We'll have to chance it.

Keep your eyes

a little wide and blank.

Show no interest or excitement.

Well, Sam,

we're finally with you.

They were supposed

to let me know.

The chief said he'd phone

the station, then call me.

He phoned,

but the line was busy.

He's calling again now.

Aah!

Watch out!

I'm sorry, Miles.

This is Janzek.

They got away.

Turn the main siren on.

Hey! Stairs!

It's only a few steps more.

Come on!

They went this way!

They're over there!

Miles, I can't.

I can't go on.

Yes, you can.

Here's her sweater!

They must be in the tunnel!

Look, Tommy,

you go that way!

Give up!

You can't get away from us!

We're not going to hurt you!

Give up!

They're not in the tunnel.

All right, everybody, outside.

Come on.

Let's check the hills.

Everybody, move.

Miles,

I can't stay awake much longer.

I think they're all gone now.

We'd better start, or we'll

never make it to the highway.

Miles, I've never heard

anything so beautiful.

It means we're not

the only ones left...

to know what love is.

Stay here, and pray

they're as human as they sound.

Bye, darling.

This is station KCAA,

the 24-hour platter parade...

the station of music--

Becky.

Becky!

Becky?

Becky, where are you?!

I'm here, Miles.

You didn't go to sleep?

I'm so tired.

They weren't people.

It was more of them.

They're growing thousands

of pods in greenhouses.

We've got to get away.

I'm exhausted, Miles.

I can't make it.

We can't make it

without sleep.

Yes, we can.

I went to sleep,

Miles, and it happened.

Oh, Becky.

They were right.

I should never have left you.

Stop acting like a fool,

Miles, and accept us.

No.

Never!

He's in here!

He's in here!

Get him! Get him!

I've been afraid

a lot of times in my life...

but I didn't know

the real meaning of fear...

until I had kissed Becky.

A moment's sleep,

and the girl I loved...

was an inhuman enemy

bent on my destruction.

That moment's sleep

was death to Becky's soul...

just as it had been

for Jack and Teddy...

and Dan Kauffman

and all the rest.

Their bodies were now hosts...

harboring an alien form

of life, a cosmic form...

which, to survive,

must take over every human man.

So I ran, I ran...

I ran as little Jimmy

had run the other day.

My only hope was to get away

from Santa Mira...

to get to the highway...

to warn the others

of what was happening.

Wait!

Let him go!

They'll never believe him.

Help! Help!

Wait!

Help! Help! Wait!

Wait! Stop!

Stop and listen to me!

Listen to me!

Those people that are coming

after me! They're not human!

Listen to me!

We're in danger!

Get out of here!

You're in danger! Please!

Get out of here!

Go on!

Get moving!

They're after all of us!

All of us!

Listen to me!

There isn't a human being

left in Santa Mira!

Stop!

Pull over! I need your help!

Something terrible's happened!

You're drunk!

Get out of the street!

Get out of here! Go on!

Are you crazy,

you big idiot?

Look!

You fools! You're in danger!

Can't you see?

They're after you!

They're after all of us!

Our wives, our children,

everyone!

They're here already!

You're next!

You're next!

You're next!

You're next!

You're next!

You don't believe

a word of this, do you?

Sure, it's fantastic,

but it happened.

Don't just sit there

measuring me for a straitjacket!

Do something! Get on the phone!

Call for help!

What's the use?

What do you think?

Will psychiatry help?

If all this

is a nightmare, yes.

Of course it's a nightmare.

Plants from another world

taking over human beings.

Mad as a March hare.

What have we here?

He ran his truck

through a red light.

Greyhound bus

smacked him broadside...

and tipped him over.

Put him in the O.R.

Will you take over Bennell

for me?

Certainly.

How badly is he hurt?

Both legs, left arm,

broken all to bits.

We had to dig him out...

from under the most

peculiar things I ever saw.

What things?

I don't know what they are.

I never saw them before.

They looked like, uh,

great big seedpods.

Seedpods?

Where was the truck

coming from?

Santa Mira.

Get on your radio

and sound an all-points alarm.

Block all highways

and stop all traffic...

and call every law enforcement

agency in the state.

Operator, get me the Federal

Bureau of Investigation.

Yes, it's an emergency!
