Forbidden Planet (1956) Adventure Edit

A cube 20 miles on each side.

A dream.

A dream.

A good shipmate.

A guy could get a hold of some of the real stuff.

A household disintegrator beam.

A premonition.

A sheer bulk surpassing many million earthly libraries.

A simple blaster.

A statue.

A thing like this, it's... It's too big to evaluate.

Absolutely nothing must show, below, above or through.

Activate main batteries.

Activate main view plate.

Activate the disposal unit.

Actually, to operate...

Adjust your equipment accordingly. That is all.

After a million years of shining sanity...

After all, this isn't very near.

Afterwards, I lay unconscious for a day and a night.

Aim right between the eyes.

Aladdin's lamp in a physics laboratory.

Alarm for test.

All clear, sir.

All hands squared away to decelerate.

All hands, check equipment.

All hands, stand clear of fence area.

All of the really high civilizations go in for it.

All right, attention. Captain to crew.

All right, dismissed.

All right, get everything aboard ship.

All right, leave everything as it is. We're on our way.

All right, so it's impossible. How long will it take?

All right, we'll wait.

All right, you can look now.

All right. Good.

All right. Now, turn around here.

All right. We're down to 0.3896 of light speed.

All three of you are such very fine exceptions.

Almost at once there followed the discovery of hyperdrive...

Alta, about a million years from now...

Alta, go into my study.

Alta, I specifically asked you not to join us for lunch.

Alta, say you don't believe this of me.

Alta, this is your father's order.

Alta.

Alta...

Alta...

Alta's whistle is above the pitch of human hearing.

Altaira. No.

Although working here, I sometimes wish I'd been blessed...

And do forgive the ill manners of an old recluse. Won't you come in.

And during all this time, what was the power source?

And fit in all the right places with lots and lots of star sapphires.

And I have come to the unalterable conclusion that man is unfit, as yet...

And I have, believe me, no wish to repeat that experience.

And I hope I don't see him again if I live to be 400 million.

And if you don't do something about it soon, Morbius...

And just how do you account for your immunity, Dr. Morbius?

And neither of you saw or heard anything.

And no trace of radioactivity.

And now this too. Harm my own daughter?

And only waiting to be reinvoked for murder.

And rank does have its little privileges, sir.

And so at last mankind began the conquest...

And so those mindless beasts of the subconscious had access...

And that's a good epitaph for any man.

And that's all the time? Even while the chief was being killed?

And then I'll put more guards on the guards.

And then I'll put more guards on the guards.

And then...

And there's your answer.

And until further notice, all hands will wear side arms.

And what is it you require this time, Miss Alta?

And when, in the course of eons, they had abolished sickness...

And yet in all these 19 years...

And yet you came back for a second go at it.

And yet, always in my mind, I seem to feel the creature...

And you can depend on it that...

And you suspect me?

And Youngerford, let me see, you were asleep in your bunk...

Another one of them new worlds. No beer, no women, no pool parlors.

Anytime you're hard up for a couple of gallons of lube oil, you just let me know.

Are you giving me the treatment? Are you?

Aren't...? Aren't these condensers out of my accelerator circuits?

As a matter of fact, you can't be in tiptop health without it.

As though his ape's brain could contain the secrets of the Krell.

As you can see, we're under no restraint whatsoever.

As you recollect from your briefing lectures, this is an Earth type planet.

As you requested.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Astrogator to crew. Stand by to change flux.

At least when our ship was approaching, you remembered enough to warn us off.

Attention. Captain to crew, attention.

Attention. Captain to crew, stand by to reverse polarity.

Attention. Captain to crew. Now, hear this.

Automatic control.

Aye, aye, skipper.

Aye, aye, skipper.

Aye, sir.

Batteries, fire.

Batteries, fire.

Batteries, hold fire.

Because my daughter is alive in my brain from microsecond to microsecond...

Before the first year was out, they had all, every man and woman...

Believe me, commander, that is only a foretaste.

Besides, why did that robot argue me into drinking...

Better check the command mike, skipper.

Better get this in by dark. Won't do any good...

Bigger than his now.

But absolutely no assistance of any sort is required.

But frankly, the book says no.

But he didn't recognize me.

But here's the big deal, sir. I'll bet any quantum mechanic in the service...

But I can't possibly leave him alone, I just can't.

But I'm immune, like both my parents.

But it doesn't look like Egyptian, cuneiform or Chinese.

But it's alive.

But like you, the Krell forgot one deadly danger...

But now she's defying you, Morbius...

But the second that fence shorts again, you lift off...

But then when you thought we were threatening your egomaniac empire...

But then, seemingly on the threshold of some supreme accomplishment...

But there is no direct wiring that I can discover.

But this much is negligible.

But what's it all for?

But why should people wanna kiss each other?

But you can imagine my joy when I discovered that the shock...

But you keep helping me. After all, you're not Robby.

But, commander, suppose these new instructions...

But, Father, lunch is over.

By 2200 A.D., they had reached the other planets of our solar system.

By some devilish thing that never showed itself.

Can't you? You don't realize what's loose on this planet.

Cancel.

Characteristic of a four footed animal.

Check the system first thing in the morning.

Check, good.

Chief, we'll drop below light speed in about three minutes.

Child's play.

Colloquial English will do fine, thank you.

Combat stations, blaster men, activate your scopes.

Come here. Over here.

Come now. Come.

Come on in.

Come on, Cookie, get out of the way. You wanna get run over?

Come on, Doc, let's have it.

Come round here, Robby.

Come, gentlemen.

Commander, I strongly urge you to reconsider.

Commander, may I borrow that formidable looking side arm of yours?

Commander! Put me down, sir!

Common lead would have crushed the vehicle, sir.

Consciously it lacked the power to operate the great machine...

Could this end one get you some coffee?

Creation by mere thought.

Cut me in, Quinn.

D.C. Set and punched on, skipper.

D.C. Stations. On the double.

Didn't bring my bathing suit.

Disabled here for 10 days and nights?

Dismissed.

Do your best to wait it out for me and the doctor.

Doc, an invisible being that cannot be disintegrated by atomic fission.

Doc, he's up to something.

Doc, I don't understand.

Doc, will you talk some sense to this girl?

Doc, you stay right there where you are and keep your eye on that door.

Doc?

Doc.

Doc.

Doc.

Doc.

Doctor, how did you come by such a mechanism?

Don't attribute feelings to him, gentlemen.

Dr. Morbius, a scientific find of this magnitude...

Dr. Morbius, everything here is new.

Dr. Morbius, I require landing coordinates.

Dr. Morbius, in the absence of special instructions...

Dr. Morbius, just what were the symptoms of all those other deaths?

Dr. Morbius, last night our klystron monitor was sabotaged.

Dr. Morbius, my orders are to survey the situation on Altair 4.

Dr. Morbius...

Drunk, sir? Me, sir?

Each division recording exactly 10 times...

Earth? I?

Easy with this core. Our M.G. Coils won't take us home without it.

Enough power for a whole population of creative geniuses.

Ethically, as well as technologically...

Even the Krell must have evolved from that beginning.

Eventually, I was able to deduce most of their huge logical alphabet.

Excellent lunch, doctor.

Excellent.

Except this special klystron frequency modulator.

Except you, Grey. You heard breathing.

Except, perhaps, in the form of this characteristic arch.

Fasten your seat belts, gentlemen.

Father, he's dead.

Father.

Father. Oh, Father.

Feel sorry for your daughter, Morbius.

Felt something go right through my head.

Fifteen seconds.

Fine technician.

Fine.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire.

Fire.

Five seconds, four, three...

Five, 10, and 15 carats, and on hand.

For 2000 centuries it has waited patiently here...

For any purpose, Morbius.

For close on 20 years now I've been constantly...

For your convenience, I am monitored to respond to the name Robby.

Forgive me, I didn't mean to alarm you, gentlemen.

Four hundred and eighty pints.

Four pints of 120 proof bourbon without a trace of hangover.

Friends?

Funny to see two moons in the sky, isn't it?

Gallons?

Gentlemen, let me show you another bit of parlor magic.

Gentlemen, would you care to see some more of the Krell wonders?

Gentlemen.

Genuine Kansas City bourbon.

Get out of here before I have you run out of the area under guard.

Good day, Dr. Morbius.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Gravity only 0.897.

Grey, Strong, set up a crossfire on those rocks.

Guilty. Guilty.

Half of this gear we can replace out of stores.

Handle it gently. It has to get us home.

Hasn't come out.

Hasn't he got a built in rule against wringing our little necks for us?

Hasn't your father taught you anything at all?

He did tell me not to go near the ship.

He knows it's your other self.

He thinks all that about biology had something to do with me.

He was alone, working on the monitor.

He was warned, and now he's paid.

He would have killed me. Why?

Here. Here's where your mind was artificially enlarged.

Hey, Doc, is it a...? Is it a male or a female?

Hey, what's this dust coming?

Hey, you think it's far enough away from the ship?

High oxygen content.

Him and me, we kind of got to toasting each other's good health.

Him and me, we kind of got to toasting each other's good health.

Honey, let's do this thing right. Now, here.

How could he have slipped past two sentries?

How could we have foreseen the extinction...

How do these continents check with the old charts?

How do you know that?

How else would you have led it here where Alta must see you torn to pieces?

How ironic that a simple scholar with no ambition...

How often the Krell technicians have ridden in this little vehicle.

How romantic.

How soon will radar be operational?

How to short circuit the continuum on a five or six parsec level.

However, when I activate this machine, it registers infinitesimally...

Hypnotic illusions don't tear people apart.

I am monitored to admit no one at this hour.

I am to transport you to the residence.

I began to learn.

I begged you not to land on this planet.

I call it their plastic educator.

I can see that was probably very clever, but I don't seem to understand it.

I could hear the roar and bellow.

I dare say neither of us slept any last night.

I didn't come by him, doctor, I tinkered him together...

I didn't expect to see you today after the way you spoke to me yesterday.

I don't believe it. Nothing could be immune to that.

I don't know what you're lying about, but get back...

I don't know, I guess there's something about me personally you don't like.

I don't know...

I don't like him. I just don't like him.

I don't really care now whether I do or not.

I feel sorry for you, young man.

I gather that one of their own young...

I had Robby install the steel shutters before I realized...

I have an IQ of 161...

I have reason to believe that 16 years ago...

I hope you don't think I could have got that stiff in five minutes.

I hope you'll make allowances too, sir.

I know there are a lot of pressing duties waiting for me back at the ship.

I may be missing some individual structures...

I often feel it myself.

I rarely use it myself, sir. It promotes rust.

I remember how when the vote was taken to return to Earth...

I see, that explains the tiger and the deer.

I seem to visualize it.

I should say fairly soon too.

I suggest you consider it in comparison...

I take a big pride in my duties.

I take it Mrs. Morbius isn't at home today?

I think a man could get used to this and grow to love it.

I think it's fairly close.

I think the best thing you can do is go to bed.

I thought Robby had managed some very charming feminine touches.

I tried to make this plaster model from the footprints we found.

I warned you while your ship was still in space.

I was only trying to be nice about kissing the lieutenant.

I was wondering if... If you could tell me where I could...

I will run the dress up for you in time for breakfast.

I wouldn't mind being Robby in certain ways.

I...

I'd be only too happy to show you.

I'd say it sounded like an ultimatum.

I'll have less dreaming aboard this ship.

I'll just turn my back here.

I'll show you a section of one of the power units.

I'll show you how this works.

I'm forced now to contact base for new instructions.

I'm leaving you in command. Get the ship operational.

I'm not a monster, you...

I'm so glad you don't have any fire in your eyes, lieutenant.

I'm sorry, sir, if we're not welcome, but we do have our orders.

I'm sure you never said a word about not coming in for coffee.

I'm very sorry.

I'm... I'm sorry, Alta.

I've always so terribly wanted to meet a young man and now three at once.

I've been from here to there in this galaxy, and I want you to know...

I've come here every day now for two decades...

I've explained that you have permission to visit Earth whenever you choose.

I've known you. I've known you great and noble like the Krell.

If I can be of any help to you in your preparations for the homeward voyage...

If I were to allow that to continue...

If you do not speak English...

If you gentlemen will go in, you're expected.

If you will step in this shuttle car.

If you wish, call it a...

If you'd like to check my assembly...

If you'll just supply me with landing coordinates.

In 24 hours...

In case you require anything, gentlemen, use the beamer.

In my case, sir, the question is totally without meaning.

In our boundless longing to make a home here...

In return, that machine would instantaneously project solid matter...

In the 2000 centuries since that unexplained catastrophe...

In the final decade of the 21st century...

In times long past...

Is he still in there?

Is that all there is to it?

Is that it?

Is that what you made out of that footprint?

It came packed in liquid boron in a suspended gravity.

It is now quite close.

It just doesn't fit into normal nature anywhere in the galaxy. It's a nightmare.

It must be the loveliest, softest thing you've ever made for me.

It must've been renewing its molecular structure...

It stimulates the whole system.

It was a question of science, doctor.

It would have served you right if I hadn't of... And... And he...

It would sink to the center of this planet.

It... It was awful.

It'd be better if we were carrying 100 square yards of the stuff.

It's a...

It's all right, sir. A commanding officer doesn't need brains.

It's an obsolete term...

It's coming on again.

It's listening.

It's nothing really personal. It's just a kiss.

It's right back there in the desert.

It's smooth too.

It's so easy for you, isn't it? There's no feelings, no emotions, you...

It's still coming.

It's strange how that fence just shorted out.

It's true...

Itíll tell you better in a little while, skipper. Time for brakes.

Jerry, can you make out anything down there?

Jerry, you...

Jerry!

Jerry!

Julia Marsin. She and I were married by the skipper on the voyage here.

Just about one jolt left. Oh, genuine ancient rocket bourbon.

Just one moment, commander.

Just then when he looked at me. Why, his eyes almost had fire in them.

Just to construct a bunker to house a core would take about 10 days.

Kill the power on the fence.

Knock that off, Quinn.

Krell metal.

L... I had to do that.

L... I was sort of bothered.

Later he can reproduce identical molecules in... In any shape or quantity.

Let him be buried with the other victims of human greed and folly.

Let it hear you. Tell it you don't love this man.

Let me repeat. I'm in no sort of difficulty here.

Lieutenant, having completed my washing up duties after chow...

Lieutenant, the fence is shorting.

Like a sort of big breathing.

Listen.

Locked in a sub electronic dilemma between my direct orders...

Long before the dawn of man's history, they had walked our Earth...

Look at the color of that sky.

Look at this, skipper.

Look at your gauges. Look.

Look down here.

Look down, gentlemen. Are you afraid?

Look now.

Look out there, commander. The Belerephon party.

Look, Doc, in case we make it into that lab...

Look, never mind the sir, mister, but I'm a stranger on this planet.

Look, this may be a big deal coming up.

Looks after us like a mother.

Looks like we're being met.

Man does not behold the face of the Gorgon and live.

May I draw your attention to these gauges all around here, gentlemen.

Maybe if we reasoned with him.

Maybe it leaves us with the same one.

Maybe it leaves us with the same one.

Maybe we ought to drop over to that lab...

Meanwhile this ship arranges its own eclipses.

Monsters from the id.

Monsters from the id.

Monsters from the subconscious.

Monsters, John.

Morbius hasn't been in here.

Morbius is in his study, sir.

Morbius was too close to the problem.

Morbius, the big machine, 8000 cubic miles of klystron relays.

Morbius, what is the id?

Morbius.

Morbius...

More deaths, Morbius. More murder.

Move a little forward. That's it.

My beams are focused on your blasters, gentlemen.

My darling, I'm completely helpless...

My dear commander, maybe you overestimate both Robby and myself.

My dear wife died a few months after the others.

My poor Krell.

My wife and I differed from the others only in our love for this new world.

Nearly a whole dial became active...

Never mind. I'm coming out.

Nice climate you have here.

Nineteen years ago I dug those graves with my own hands.

Ninety eight million point six.

Ninety two hundred thermonuclear reactors in tandem.

No lights showing.

No record of their physical nature has survived.

No survival suits will be required upon landing.

No trouble at all.

No, doctor, not even though I were the mad scientist of the tape thrillers...

No, it just went away for some reason. It'll be back.

No, me too, sir, will stand 20 extra watches.

No, no. No, no, watch.

No, sir, nothing coming this way.

No, skipper, that is a scientific impossibility.

No, skipper. This thing runs counter to every known law of adaptive evolution.

No? Well, look at yourself.

No.

Not even a window.

Not even any short range radio signals yet?

Not even if I could.

Not me. Not us.

Not quite realizing it, of course...

Not so far, sir.

Nothing human would ever enter your mind.

Nothing important, skipper.

Nothing less. The number 10...

Nothing shows through, does it?

Nothing to do but throw rocks at cans, and we gotta bring our own tin cans.

Nothing.

Now then, for the primary function.

Now you've chosen for me.

Now, Alta, listen, you mustn't...

Now, doctor, you can read it here.

Now, easy, Doc.

Now, if you will follow me...

Now, if you'll remember the Belerephon expedition...

Now, now, now, you know a dream can't hurt you.

Now, that ain't natural, sir.

Now, the two of you claim to have been at your posts and awake.

Now, wait a minute, skipper. After all, it is his house.

Now, wait... Now, wait a minute, Alta. Now, if you're planning on...

Now, with every facility of the ship, I think I might be able to rebuild it.

Now, you can see that this headset was designed...

Of course the doc can be trusted too, in the daytime.

Of course, a transmitter of that sort isn't exactly standard equipment.

Of course, that's what Doc meant.

Of course, that's... That's mostly on the theoretical side?

Of course, the two end ones are unbelievable.

Of course, you must make allowances for my daughter, gentlemen.

Oh, darling, darling, please go.

Oh, dear.

Oh, Doc.

Oh, I see. So you're immune to this too?

Oh, I thought you weren't expecting me today.

Oh, I'm quite able to get it. Thank you.

Oh, it's an old custom.

Oh, Jerry.

Oh, lieutenant, you got your trouble squad in hand?

Oh, me too, sir?

Oh, murder.

Oh, no.

Oh, that's all.

Oh, the red carpet treatment, huh?

Okay, Jerry, punch out an orbit on the fourth planet.

Okay, skipper, and if Morbius comes out, we'll call you from right here.

Okay.

On the sofa, Robby.

On this screen may be projected the total scientific knowledge of the Krell...

One by one, in spite of every safeguard, my coworkers were torn...

One introduces a sample of human food through this aperture.

One which they actually seemed to hope...

Only in her case it was of natural causes.

Only in nightmares of those times.

Only my wife and I were immune.

Operated by remote control.

Operating right now, sir.

Order canceled.

Other portions I shall withhold.

Others? But there are no others, commander.

Our Belerephon skipper tried it...

Our destination, Altair 4, is now visible on the main view plate.

Outside of the range of my daughter's influence, it's still a deadly wild beast.

Oxygen content: 4.7 richer than Earth standard.

Pardon me, commander, are you ready to hold discipline on the cook, sir?

Pardon me, sir. Stuff?

Passengers will please fasten their seat belts.

Perhaps I do not choose to be dictated to in my own world.

Personally, I mean. Never been so nervous in all my life.

Please permit me to recommend...

Plus absolute, selfless obedience.

Point it at the commander.

Precisely, doctor.

Prepare your minds for a new scale...

Primarily a ground animal too.

Put your arm in there.

Quiet, please. I am analyzing.

Quinn, murdered?

Quinn.

Radio contact, sir. There's a voice here.

Randall, give me audio com.

Really? I didn't know that.

Recently, I have turned up some rather puzzling indications...

Red hot. Soon it'll be white hot...

Remain here, and the next attack on your party...

Right, skipper.

Robby is simply a tool. Tremendously strong, of course.

Robby, emergency cancellation Archimedes.

Robby, I ain't never gonna forget this.

Robby, I must have a new dress. Right away.

Robby, let them in.

Robby, point this thing at that Althaea frutex out there on the terrace.

Section 86A, evacuate all civilians from disaster area.

See here. Hey. Gi...

Seventy eight hundred levels...

She mustn't do this. She must be prevented.

She picked the right man.

Ship in approach, skipper. Helical vector oriented.

Ship's beeper will as usual sound 10 times after lights dim.

Simply a three dimensional image, commander.

Simply some of Robby's synthetics.

Sir, the burial detail is ready.

Sir, we're being radar scanned.

Sit down.

Skipper, his body is plastered all over the communications room.

Skipper, the blasted thing's invisible.

Skipper, the blasted thing's invisible.

Skipper, the chief's been murdered.

Skipper, there is no record of any wife in the Belerephon rolls.

So now you're whistling up your monster again...

So you took the brain boost, huh?

Solid Krell metal, 26 inches thick.

Some dark, terrible, incomprehensible force.

Something funny down there, skipper.

Something is approaching from the southwest.

Something of a strain.

Sometimes the gauges register a little...

Son...

Sorry, miss, I was giving myself an oil job.

Spaceship, identify yourself. You're being tracked.

Standard class A security will be maintained upon landing.

Star sapphires take a week to crystallize properly.

Still think she's immune? She's joined herself to me.

Stop it, Robby. Don't let it in. Kill it, Robby.

Stop looking at me that way. I don't think I like it.

Stop. No further. I deny you, I give you up.

Strong and Grey, last night, during your watch...

Sugar?

Suppose we start with the good doctor.

Sure, no interference there.

Talk, Doc.

Tell me you don't.

Tell me, just what is involved in your making contact with Earth base?

Tell me, would 2 inch lead shielding do as well?

Ten times 10, times 10, times 10, times 10, times 10...

Thank you, sir, but unfortunately...

Thank you.

Thank you.

That is all.

That is all.

That is correct, sir.

That is true, sir.

That machine is going to supply your monster...

That recording was made by Krell musicians...

That's a very good question.

That's Altair 4, the bright speck below the star.

That's Altaira.

That's funny, I did.

That's gonna complicate things a bit.

That's less than three minutes now.

That's only in certain ways, of course.

That's true enough, but any organism...

That's very obliging of you, sir.

The Belerephon pattern is being woven again.

The big machine...

The first practical result was that robot of mine...

The fool. The meddling idiot.

The harnessed power of an exploding planetary system.

The heights they had reached.

The id? What's that?

The Krell had completed their project.

The last Krell died 2000 centuries ago...

The Lord sure makes some beautiful worlds.

The molecules are many times more densely interlocked than in earthly steel.

The rest of us were all outside on guard duty. L...

The rest we can patch up one way or another.

The robot lied.

The secret devil of every soul on the planet...

The switch, throw it.

The thing I saw was trying to break into camp. It was gonna kill...

The way he kept looking at me. Then he shouted.

The whole thing hardly comes to 10 tons.

Their calibrations appear to indicate that they are set in decimal series.

Then help us, darling.

Then it must be true.

Then my little girl never feels lonely or confined?

Then the time has come for clarification.

Then why don't you kiss me like everybody else does?

There it comes.

There must be something seriously the matter with me...

There now, gentlemen.

There now.

There was blood and fire and thunder...

There.

There's Altair right on the nose, skipper.

There's just no sign of civilization at all.

These units are sunk in the body of the planet...

They're sort of edgy to see whatever's out there.

Thirty seven inches by 19.

This is just one of their laboratories.

This is Lieutenant Farman, my executive...

This is my morning's run of isotope 217.

This is no offense, but you are a robot, aren't you?

This is one of their ventilator shafts.

This is the only door.

This spot should be molten.

This.

To build one, we'd have to cannibalize about two thirds...

To tell the truth, I sometimes still miss...

Total, 60 gallons.

Track this if I blink red.

Try your blaster there, commander.

Twenty miles.

Twenty years ago I began here with this page of geometrical theorems.

Twenty years ago the spacecraft Belerephon landed here...

Twenty years ago when your comrades voted to return to Earth...

Two thousand centuries.

Two years or more away from my work here.

United Planets Cruiser C 57D, J.J. Adams commanding.

Very well, but I wash my hands of all responsibility.

Wait a minute. That's solid lead he's carrying.

Wanna bounce through this one?

Warm in here, skipper.

We are now entering the atmosphere of Altair 4.

We pick up the girl and her father whether they like it or not?

We were attacked. Three more men dead, including Jerry Farman.

We were dead on target with both bursts.

We were just trying to get a little healthy stimulation...

We young men have been shut up in hyperspace for well over a year now...

We'd like to see Dr. Morbius.

We're all part monsters in our subconscious...

We're clear now.

We're pulling out.

We're safe.

Welcome to Altair 4, gentlemen.

Well, anyway, we fought it, and we lost.

Well, ask Dr. Ostrow, sir.

Well, certainly, sir.

Well, did you or did you?

Well, don't worry, you're not gonna have to look at me anymore from now on.

Well, fundamentally, it's a question of crude power.

Well, gentlemen, this has been very pleasant.

Well, he says I'm terribly ignorant, but I have had poetry...

Well, I dare say you won't have to.

Well, I hate to tell you this, Alta...

Well, I'll choose a familiar subject to start with to save time.

Well, I'm not that harmless.

Well, if I don't stop for breakfast...

Well, if that's the way you feel about it.

Well, in the wrong hands, mightn't such a tool become a deadly weapon?

Well, it so happens that I'm in command of 18 competitively selected...

Well, l... I don't feel free to discuss the shortcomings of a fellow officer...

Well, naturally not. You're from Earth.

Well, notice this structure here.

Well, so far.

Well, thank you for your courtesy and concern, sir.

Well, thank you very much, lieutenant.

Well, that is, I am anyway. Old dependable Jerry.

Well, that sounded final.

Well, there's something wrong here.

Well, there's... There's no rush.

Well, we'll see you again soon, Alta, I hope.

Well, what's wrong with theory?

Well, you can just put it right over there by the core, thank you.

Well, you don't understand, sir. We're your relief.

Well, you saw it yourself, standing in those neutron beams.

Well, you... You've sort of got to stick with it.

What about the commander?

What an astrogator.

What do you make of that, skipper?

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

What do you wish here, cruiser?

What does he do?

What driver?

What man can remember his own dreams?

What were they like?

What's a bathing suit?

What's happening there?

What's that?

What's the matter with him? Why did he leave?

What's the matter?

What's this?

What's up? Somebody coming this way?

What's wrong with my clothes? I designed them myself.

Whatever that lunch was, it was certainly delicious.

Whatever walks on this would be an opponent for a man with a club...

Whatever you know in here, your twin self out in the tunnel knows too.

Where do you wish the shielding stacked, sir?

Where feasible.

Where have you been? I've beamed and beamed.

Whereas Morbius, with his artificially expanded intellect...

Which makes it a gilt edged priority that one of us...

Why are you here?

Why did you jumble that combination?

Why haven't I seen this all along?

Why, I don't know. I have you and Robby and all my friends.

Why, it's a housewife's dream.

Why, it's fantastic.

Why, the total potential here must be nothing less than astronomical.

Will you get in, gentlemen.

Would 60 gallons be sufficient?

Would you care to take the Krell test of your intelligence?

Yeah, here it is. Morbius, E. Ph.D., Lit. D...

Yeah, let's... Let's have him.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, a single machine.

Yes, Alta, your father, my shipmates...

Yes, I can see it now. There.

Yes, I must be guilty.

Yes, relatively simple alcohol molecules with traces of fusel oil.

Yes, sir, the moment we've interviewed the other members...

Yes, sir, they're in hand, but they're trigger happy.

Yes, sir. And I borrowed some solenoids from your gyrostabilizers too.

Yes, young man...

Yes.

Yes. Well, I'll...

Yet I have an officially recorded IQ of 183.

Yet it drinks up energy like a sponge.

Yet our visitor last night left the tracks of a biped.

Yet the ship was entered, the heavy duty hatch was raised and latched back.

Yet this claw could only belong to an arboreal creature...

Yet this claw could only belong to an arboreal creature...

Yet this robot of yours is beyond the combined resources...

You believe that?

You can feel the warm air rising.

You can't run around like that in front of men.

You just wait right there. It'll only take me a second to get dry.

You left out two very important words:

You may come in at 17 4 North...

You men will continue watching on your own immediate fronts. That is all.

You must stay for lunch, gentlemen.

You ought to see my new mind...

You really don't know, do you?

You see, he's helpless.

You will notice that much of the equipment is familiar...

You'd never survive.

You'll find the silver in the dining room...

You'll see.

You'll take care of him for me, won't you, Father? You'll protect him.

You're too arbitrary, commander.

You've got to listen. We don't have much time.

You've seen how comfortable I am here, no hardships...

Young man, my daughter is planning a foolish action, and she'll be punished.

Young man, these devices, self serviced, self maintained...

Your attention. This may be a ruse to divert us...

Your best procedure will be to turn back at once without landing.

Your father wasn't too happy at first about your meeting us, was he?

Your mind refuses to face the conclusion.

A civilization without instrumentalities? Incredible.

A minute, skipper, I'll change uniform. Stay as you are.

Again? Oh, but this one must be different.

All right, Cookie, out of here. Aye, aye, sir. Yes... Yes, sir.

All right, dismissed. Company dismissed.

All right, get on it, Quinn. Thank you, sir.

All right. Take it away. Aye, aye, sir.

Alta. I'm ready to go with you, darling.

Alta. It's all right, he's my friend.

Alta. Yes, Father.

Alta. Alta, where are you? Father.

And the Belerephon? Vaporized...

And you can't explain it? No.

Artificial gravity off. Grav off.

Bosun, flash the alert. Aye, aye, sir.

Bosun. Aye, aye, sir.

Bosun. Aye, aye, sir.

Bosun. Aye, sir.

Bosun. Aye, sir.

Bosun. Aye, sir.

Bosun. Aye, sir.

Bosun. Yes, sir.

But it's so silly. But it's good for you, though.

But the Krell forgot one thing. Yes, what?

Can you see anything out there, Doc? Nothing.

Can you zero on it? No, sir...

Circuits opening and closing. And they never rest.

Circumstances? You see, my orders don't quite seem...

Come on, Doc. D.C., Bosun. Aye, aye, sir.

Commander? Commander Adams. Speaking, lieutenant.

Commander. Commander. What is it, chief?

Could Robby be wrong? No, never.

Cut primary coils. Primaries cut, sir.

Do I just pull this switch? Don't. Stop.

Do you hear something? Like what?

Doctor, do you mean that you made this...? Gentlemen.

Father! Alta.

Father! Altaira.

Funny how quick a guy gets used to it. Yeah.

Funny how quick a guy gets used to it. Yeah.

Get those graves dug. Keep busy. Right. The busier the better.

Good morning. Good morning.

Good night, my dear. Good night.

Good work, Quinn. Thank you, sir.

Good. Give me audio com. Aye, aye, sir.

Good. You keep right on it yourself. Aye, aye, sir.

Got your breakable gear stowed? Aye, sir.

Half flux. Half flux.

Have you tested it yet, Bosun? Right away, sir.

He's your cook too? Even manufactures the raw materials.

Hello, Alta. Hi.

Hieroglyphics? Maybe.

Hold the tractor. Aye, aye, sir.

How did the commander react to that? Well, he was furious.

How was it done? Done?

Human? Yes, sir. Sounds like it.

I am Morbius. I'm Commander Adams.

I figure it'll be back. Then you must leave now.

I want a clear field of fire. Aye, aye, sir.

I want the tractor. Ready, sir.

I will place him in the tractor, sir. Thank you.

I won't hear you. You've got to listen.

I'll bring the tractor in a hurry, sir. Right.

I'm leaving you in command here. Oh, I see.

Joe. What?

Joe. What?

Just a good loud voice, huh? How do I make an image?

Just once more. Do you mind? Oh, not at all.

Lieutenant Farman. Don't say a word, sir. L...

Morbius. What?

Moving? This way, sir. Slowly.

My daughter. How do you do?

No one man should monopolize it. For the past two hours...

No problem. Would you mind activating the viewer?

Oh, but l... Dismissed.

Okay, Jerry, I'll take her in. Aye, sir.

ology?

Perhaps you better call them, my dear. All right.

Please, please, if you love me, go. Alta.

Quite a vehicle, huh? That driver must be a madman.

Randall. Dead on target, sir.

Randall. Sir?

Real stuff? For cooking purposes, you understand.

Shall I shut down the current, sir? No. No, it's stopped now.

Sir? You're in command now, Quinn.

Skipper. Come on. Well, Quinn?

Sleep well, miss. Thank you, Robby.

Sorry, sir? Lf you set down on this planet...

Straight across? It shows here.

Thank you, doctor. Bye.

That's very kind of you. You're lovely, doctor.

The command mike, sir. Oh, yeah. Good idea. Chief.

The M.A. Alert is completed? Aye, aye, sir.

The unnatural ones, I mean. The symptoms were striking.

Then we'll take him. By force? I can't agree to that either.

There you are, sir. Very good.

There's nothing out there. But there is, sir. I mean...

Thick and heavy? Oh, no. No, Robby.

Think what a discovery of this kind... Dr. Morbius...

Tractor's ready. Thank you.

Twenty miles square? Yes, sir.

We're very glad to find you alive. I, of course, appreciate your concern.

Well, I guess that washes the robot up. Where does that leave us for suspects?

Well, what about the magnetic puller? Bosun...

Well, what's wrong with Earth? How lucky I am, though.

Well, you are exceptions, aren't you? Oh, sure, sure.

What about? I don't know. I don't know, really.

What do I do? Just sit down there, and I'll...

What is it? Sir, radar just picked up something.

What is it? What's the matter? I just had a terrible dream.

What is the id? Id, id, id.

What, chief? Everything okay, commander?

What? It just stopped at the foot of the pass.

What's up? Look.

When do we get a D.C. Fix, Jerry? Half a minute, skipper.

Where? At the head of the arroyo.

Who are you? Morbius of the Belerephon.

Who? Edward Morbius.

Why did you both act so funny? Well, what do you expect?

Would diamonds or emeralds do? Well, if they're large enough.

Yeah, but I'll still take blue. I don't know.

Yes, and whatever comes, forever. Say it's a lie.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Thank you. Quinn, this is Farman.

Yes, very much. You may be disappointed, commander.

You can assemble a tractor. Aye, sir.

You have standard charts? Yes, sir.

You hear me? I hear you.

You keep right at those instruments. Aye, aye, sir.

You sure you got a real blip there? Big as a house, sir.

You were with the robot last night? Yes, sir.

You're able to read this? A little. It's my profession.

You've got to understand... Stop knocking yourself out, skipper.

...and no need at all for military assistance.

...and porcelain and adamantine steel...

...and report back to Earth base on conditions in this sector.

...and right from here, the view looks just like heaven.

...and something awful was moving in the middle of it.

...and take revenge, Morbius, and kill.

...and you think you had a dream.

...and you think you had a dream.

...and you'll get it not later than tomorrow noon.

...as long as he remains here so willfully.

...as many amperes as the one preceding it.

...as the three remaining survivors tried to take her off.

...because, you see, there happens to be a built in safety factor.

...but any girl or woman who lets him get her alone, anywhere...

...but it seems to emanate from an area of about 20 miles square.

...I request the lieutenant's permission to take a walk outside the perimeter, sir.

...I thought it might brighten the boys' mess a bit...

...I warn you that I cannot be answerable for the safety of your ship or your crew.

...I will show you some of their other remaining artifacts.

...they cannot be reversed.

...they could hardly have understood what power was destroying them.

...they had conquered even their baser selves.

...they turned, still with high benevolence, outward toward space.

...they were a million years ahead of humankind...

...this all but divine race perished in a single night.

...you leave me in a very awkward position. L...

...you must be 100 million miles out in space.

...you see, down there in the lower left hand corner.

...you sent your secret id out to murder them.

...you wanted me to make a choice.

...you will always look just beautiful.

...you're a philologist...

...your subconscious sent its id monster out again.
