Night of the Living Dead (1968) Soundboard Edit

A cadaver from which all four limbs had been amputated

A definite connection as far as dr keller and myself

A lot of good the extra daylight does us

A radio!

A white house spokesman in announcing this conference says there will be an official announcement as soon as possible following that meeting

A widespread investigation of reports from funeral homes morgues and hospitals has concluded that the unburied dead are coming back to life and seeking human victims

After we get the gas and get back into the house then we'll worry about getting everybody into the truck

After you toss the cocktails you hustle back down here and lock this door

Again we join with law enforcement agencies in urging you to seek shelter in a building

Ah things aren't going too bad men are taking it pretty good

All but a few spots upstairs they won't be hard to fix

All law enforcement agencies and the military have been organized to search out and destroy the marauding ghouls

All persons who die during this crisis from whatever cause will come back to life to seek human victims unless their bodies are first disposed of by cremation

All radio and tv stations across the eastern part of the country including the one to which you are listening have joined their facilities in an emergency network to bring you this news as it develops

All right go ahead down and give 'em a hand

All right hit him in the head right between the eyes

All right now you tell me

All right send a wagon through directly over

All right steve tell 'em we're going to stay with it and everything appears to be under control

All right why don't we settle this

And as soon as they know we're here this place is gonna be crawling with them

And have determined that none of this kind of mass murder has yet been reported west of the mississippi river except in the extreme southeastern portion of texas

And he said can I have some candy barbra and we didn't have any

And he wouldn't let me go he ripped

And I got so afraid I ran I ran I ran

And I i went up to this man and I was going to apologize

And I laughed at him and said johnny stop it

And I looked up and and I said good eve and he grabbed me he grabbed me! and he ripped at me!

And I said johnny if you'd gotten up earlier we wouldn't be late

And i'm telling you those things turned over our car

And if we do decide to stay down there we'll need some things from up here

And johnny didn't come we've got we have to wait for johnny

And judy had a radio and we heard the first reports about this

And so this incredible story becomes more ghastly with each report

And then johnny came and he ran and he he fought this man

And then johnny ran away

And then this man started walking up the road

And there's a key on here that's labeled for the gas pump out back

And they talk about these windows

And we got windows to see what's going on outside

And you wouldn't come up and help

Anybody would know somebody's in need of help

Anyhow that's where I found that truck I have out there

Are they slow moving chief yeah they're dead they're all messed up

As soon as we get to willard we'll call them they might even be there

At least up here you have a fighting chance

At this hour they report the level of the mysterious radiation continues to increase steadily

At this hour we repeat these are the facts as we know them

Baby it's mommy

Be cautious of any suspicious strangers and keep tuned to your radio and television for survival instructions and further details of this continuing story

Because if I stay up here i'm fighting for everything up here and the radio and the food is part of what i'm fighting for

Because of the obvious threat to untold numbers of citizens and because of the crisis which is even now developing this radio station will remain on the air day and night

Before we go out we'll put some supplies behind the cellar door

Being monitored closely by scientists at all the radiation detection stations

Ben doesn't know anything about that stuff

Bill i'm gonna check the office see what's happening

Boy there's no one around well it's late if you'd gotten up earlier

Boy you sure are no use at all are you

But down in the cellar there's no place to run to I mean if they did get in there'd be no back exit we'd be done for

But down there with no windows if a rescue party did come we wouldn't even know it

But first let me stress the importance of seeking medical attention for anyone who's been injured in any way

But that'll leave a door open someplace

But the cellar is the strongest place

But there there's lots of places we can run to up here

But up here all these windows why we'd never know where they were gonna hit us next

But we're safe in here for how long honey we're safe now but there's gonna be more and more of those things

But why do you have to go out there

But you'll be all right for now okay okay

Butler county pennsylvania the butler county sheriff has verified that reports of murder victims being partially eaten by their slayers is true

By now it was like a moving bonfire

By now there were no more screams

Chief as soon as you're finished can I see you here yeah okay

Chief do you think we'll be able to defeat these things

Chief if I were surrounded by six or eight of these things would I stand a chance with them

Chief mcclelland how is everything going

Civil defense authorities have told newsmen that murder victims show evidence of having been partially devoured by their murderers

Civil defense machinery has been organized to provide rescue stations with food shelter medical treatment and protection by armed national guardsmen

Civil defense officials in cumberland have told newsmen that murder victims show evidence of having been partially devoured by their murderers

Come ahead with the motorcycle please let's go! that's the way!

Come on honey we gotta move

Come on honey you're starting to sound like mr cooper now

Come on let's get outta here come on come on! my jacket's caught

Come on! this key won't work

Consistent reports from witnesses to the effect that people who acted as though they were in a kind of trance were killing and eating their victims

Cooper! cooper!

Could have happened to have a bearing on it it does seem to have a bearing on it

Could that radiation be somehow responsible for the wholesale murders we're now suffering

Could've been those things for all we knew

Damn thing

Demanding shelter and protection from the wholesale murder which apparently is engulfing much of the nation

Destructive action taken with regard to the venus probe

Did she ask for me

Did you hear me when I told you they turned over our car

Didn't know if the truck was going to explode or what

Do not venture outside for any reason until the nature of this crisis has been determined and until we can advise what course of action to take

Do this for me okay

Do you feel there is a connection between this and the phenomenon

Do you have any answers at this time

Do you live here

Do you remember one time when we were small we were out here

Do you understand okay okay

Doctor please I thought we decided that is not proved yet

Does anyone up there know why we're being attacked

Don't be afraid of me

Don't look at it

Don't worry about him I can handle him

Don't you know what's going on out there this is no sunday school picnic

Don't you understand my brother is alone!

Dr grimes your entire staff I know has been working very hard to find some solution to these things that are happening

Each year we spend good money on these things

Efforts to keep track of the murder reports by the placing of markers on a map seem to indicate a general spreading from the extreme southeastern united states to the north and west

End quote that's chief dunmore of camden north carolina

Everything is all right for now i'll be back to reinforce the windows and doors later

Everything is being done that can be done

Everything will be all right

First eyewitness accounts of this grisly development came from people who were understandably frightened and almost incoherent

Forget it it's at least a mile

Get back in the cellar! it's too late too late!

Get over here man! come on!

Get some more lights on in this house

Get those people in the back way in the back

Give me one of those

Go ahead go ahead you wanna stay up here now

Go ahead! go on!

Go down in your damn cellar! get out of here!

Good lord

Good luck yeah

Good shot okay he's dead let's go get him that's another one for the fire

Hang on!

Harry harry what's happening it's all right!

Haven't you had enough

He came slowly and johnny kept teasing me and saying

He held me and he ripped at my clothes!

He said the rescue stations have doctors and medical supplies

He's a dead one get up here!

He's coming to get you barbra

He's wrong you know

Helen get in the cellar get in the cellar now move!

Helen I have to get that gun

Her brother was killed

Her brother was killed (2)

Here I have it drag a couple of those chairs together

Here I want you to pick out some nails pick out the biggest ones you can find

Hey come on barb church was this morning huh

Hey do we're coming back on the air after an interruption due to technical problem

Hey give me a hand with this thing

Hey hey kid

Hey I mean praying's for church huh come on

Hey listen remember when we had the big flood remember how difficult it was for us to convince you that it was right to leave

Hey put that thing all the way in the fire we don't want it getting up again all right I gotcha

Hey randy light these torches over here

Hey smile honey where's that big smile for me

Hey there's a big can of kerosene down there

Hey vince al you wanna get about four or five men and a couple dogs

Hey you're still afraid

Hey! come here! calm calm down! calm down!

His wife and kid's downstairs the kid's hurt

Hold it! don't shoot we're from town

How are we going to know what's going on if we lock ourselves in this dungeon

How are you gonna get over to that pump

How bad has your kid been hurt

How could we possibly get away from here

How long you guys been down there I could've used some help up here

How many do you have done

How were we supposed to know what was going on

How were we supposed to know what was going on (2)

However in spite of this urging and warning streets and highways are packed with frantic people trying to reach their families or apparently to flee just anywhere

However the reports persisted

I can carry the kid

I can handle the truck no sweat

I can still hear the man screaming

I can't see a damned thing there could be 15 million of those things out there

I can't speak for the entire military at this time gentlemen

I could just see that the truck was moving in a funny way and those things were catching up to it

I didn't see them at first

I don't know

I don't know (2)

I don't know I don't know

I don't know I figure maybe six or seven

I don't know mr cooper I think he's right

I don't know! I don't know!

I don't understand

I don't want anyone's life on my hands

I don't want to hear any more from you mister

I found a gun and some bullets out there oh and these

I found some fruit jars in the cellar

I gotta go help ben with the television

I guess I guess the driver must have cut off the road into that gas station by beekman's diner

I guess you can go over there and meet the national guard

I had jumped in to listen to it when a big gasoline truck came screaming right across the road

I haven't seen you in church lately

I heard

I it isn't the fuse the power lines are down

I jumped out at you from behind a tree and grandpa got all excited and he shook his fist at me and he said 'boy you'll be damned to hell'

I just don't want you to go out there that's all

I just wanted to crush them they scattered through the air like bugs

I know

I know I know all that

I know that's why I pulled in here but it's locked

I know what i'm doing

I know you're afraid but we have to

I looked back at the diner to see if there was anyone there who could help me

I must disagree with these gentlemen presently until we until this is irrefutably proved

I need you to find some bedspreads or sheets to tear up into small strips okay

I only need a few men to check out the house

I ought to drag you out there and feed you to those things!

I realized that I was alone with 50 or 60 of those things just standing there staring at me

I smashed three of them and pushed another one out the door

I started to drive I just plowed right through them they didn't move they didn't run or just stood there staring at me

I suggest we all go back downstairs before any of those things find out we're in here

I suppose you've tried this

I think we have some late word just arriving and we interrupt to bring this to you

I think you complain just to hear yourself talk

I think you should just calm down

I told you those things don't have any strength

I wonder what happened to the one from last year

I'll check

I'll come back down as soon as I find out what they want

I'll see what I can find i'll look for the bottles

I'll take good care of her helen

I'm going back down to the cellar and you better decide 'cause i'm gonna board up that door and i'm not gonna unlock it again no matter what happens

I'm going with him

I'm helen cooper harry's wife

I'm i'm taking the girl with me

I'm not boxing myself in down there

I'm not gonna take that kind of a chance when we've got a safe place

I'm not really that used to the truck I found it abandoned

I'm telling you they can't get in here

I've made my decision now you make yours

If anything should try to break in here I can hear it from up there i'll be down to take care of it

If I could only call the folks they're going to be so worried about us

If the authorities know what's happening well they'll send people for us or they'll tell us what to do

If we could get karen there we can get help for her

If we have to we can run in here and board up the doors

If we stick together man we can fix it up real good

If you box yourself in the cellar and those things get in the house you've had it

If you stay up here you take orders from me! and that includes leaving the girl alone

If you're going down in the cellar get

If you're stupid enough to go die in that trap that's your business however I am not stupid enough to follow you

In other words it is the military's viewpoint that this the radiation is not the cause of the mutation

In other words you feel that the radiation on the venus probe is enough to cause these mutations

In the cold room at the university we had a cadaver

Indications are that before this emergency is over we will need many many more such rescue stations

Is she all right I don't know what it is she feels warm maybe it's shock

Is she conscious barely

Is the fuse box in the cellar I don't know i

Is there a fruit cellar here yes

Is there any of that candy left no

Is there anything I can do to help

Isn't it three o'clock yet

It has been established that persons who have recently died have been returning to life and committing acts of murder

It is happening and it would appear that no one is safe from this wave of mass

It is tough for the kid that her old man is so stupid

It seems to be a sudden general explosion of mass homicide

It was an unusual amount of radiation enough to cause mutation under certain circumstances

It was dead but it opened its eyes and tried to move

It was from right over there

It went right through the billboard ripped over a gas pump and never stopped moving

It went right through the guardrail

It would be nice if you'd get your story straight man

It's 10 minutes to 3 00

It's all right

It's all right honey go ahead

It's closer to the truck

It's difficult to imagine such a thing actually happening but these are the reports we have been receiving and passing on to you

It's hard for us here to believe what we're reporting to you but it does seem to be a fact

It's no good to board it up because we'll have to get back in quickly

It's obvious our best move is to try to get out of here

It's on! it's on! there's no sound play with the rabbit ears

It's only a matter of minutes

It's only about 17 miles from here

It's some kind of mass murder it's going on everywhere

It's the only logical explanation that we have at this time

Jesus

Johnny

Johnny asked me if I were afraid and I said i'm not afraid johnny

Johnny has the keys

Johnny it takes you five minutes

Judy and I are both from around here

Judy come on up here honey

Karen karen karen

Keep listening to radio and tv for any special instructions as this crisis develops further

Keep those dogs back off of those things

Ladies and gentlemen we've just received word that the president has called a meeting of his cabinet to deal with the sudden epidemic of murder which has seized the eastern third of this nation

Late reports reaching this newsroom tell of frightened people seeking refuge in churches schools and government buildings

Latest word also from national press services in washington dc now tells us that the emergency presidential conference which we've just mentioned

Law enforcement officials are at a loss to explain or even at this hour even to theorize about the reasons for this wave of murder

Let him go man his mind is made up just let him go

Let me in! let me in!

Let them stay upstairs let them

Let's go check out the house there's something there I heard a noise

Let's go up

Listen I got a kid down there she can't possib I couldn't bring her up here

Lock the doors and windows securely hey that's us we're doing all right

Look at this thing we still remember I don't you know I don't even remember what the man looks like

Look for the name of the rescue station nearest you and make your way to that location as soon as possible

Look goddamn it

Look honey nothing's gonna get done with them down there and us up here

Look I don't know if you're hearing me but i'm going upstairs now

Look I know how to handle that truck and I can handle the pump

Look I know you're afraid i'm afraid too

Look it's kind of hard to hear what's going on from down there

Look mister! we came up okay we're here

Look the cellar the cellar there's only one door right just one door that's all we have to protect

Look you go down there and tell judy yeah you tell judy to come up here and you stay with the kid all right

Look you two can do whatever you like

Look!

Look! there comes one of them now! he'll hear you here he comes now i'm getting out of here

M maybe we better take some food i'll see if I can find some food

Man you're really crazy you know that

Mass hysteria what do they think we're imagining all this

Maybe we'd better go out and get him

Meantime a couple of us can go out and try to get the gas then come back for the rest of the people

Medical authorities in cumberland have concluded that in all cases the killers are eating the flesh of the people they murder

Medical examination of victims' bodies shows conclusively that the killers are eating the flesh of the people they kill

Medical examinations of some of the victims bore out the fact that they had been partially devoured

Members of the presidential cabinet will be joined by officials of the fbi and the joint chiefs behind closed doors

Minutes well that doesn't give people time to make any arrangements

Mother wants to remember so we trot 200 miles into the country and she stays at home

Mr cooper

Mr cooper with your help we can with my help!

Mr cooper! mr cooper ben found a television set upstairs

Newsman don quinn in washington has posed those questions

Nick you and the rest of these men wanna come with me

Nick! tony! steve!

No further details available at this time however

No place to flee for safety except for the rescue stations which have been set up

No you're right it doesn't give them time to make funeral arrangements

No! my brother is not dead!

No! no johnny! no! no no!

No! no!

No! no! johnny! help me! help!

No! no! no! no! no! no! no! get out!

Nothing down here

Nothing! nothing! they don't know anything yet

Now get the hell down in the cellar you can be the boss down there i'm boss up here

Now go in and get some wood so I can board the place up

Now i'm going to board up the windows and the doors do you understand

Now let's move it

Now wait a minute mr cooper no i'm not gonna wait!

Now wait a minute you just got finished saying you couldn't hear from down there now you say it sounded like this place was being ripped apart

Now wait a minute! let's think about this

Now we've still got a three hour drive back we're not gonna be home until after midnight

Now you tell me those things can't get through this lousy pile of wood

Now you'd better watch this and try to understand what's going on

Of course not harry

Official spokesmen declined to speculate just how long it may take to kill off all the flesh eaters so long as the heavy ra

Officials and newsmen at first discounted those eyewitness descriptions as being beyond belief

Officials are quoted as explaining that since the brain of a ghoul has been activated by the radiation the plan is kill the brain and you kill the ghoul

Oh hell any good five men can do that

Oh help me help me oh!

Oh I screamed johnny! johnny help me! oh help me!

Oh i'd like to leave yes

Oh it's hot in here hot

Oh look I already lost an hour's sleep on the time change

Oh uh ladies and gentlemen

Okay open up

Okay toss 'em!

Okay yeah right away

One of the world's foremost authorities on space science and technology

One of those things grabbed her bit her on the arm

Only there's not going to be five or even 10 there's gonna be 20 30 maybe a hundred of those things

Our news cameras have just returned from covering such a search and destroy operation against the ghouls this one conducted by sheriff conan mcclelland in butler county pennsylvania

Our newsmen have been on the telephone talking with officials in other cities

Please help me! please!

Please! don't you hear me

Police sheriffs' deputies and emergency ambulances are literally deluged with calls for help

Poor baby baby

Probably be a lot more of them as soon as they find out about us

Professor you feel that there is a definite connection between

Prompted authorities to examine the bodies of some of the victims

Radio upstairs I heard a news bulletin

Reaction of law enforcement officials is one of complete bewilderment at this hour

Remember remember we had to go to willard then

Remember that right over there

Repeating this latest bulletin just received moments ago from cumberland maryland

Reports incredible as they seem are not the results of mass hysteria

Reports which have been verified as completely as is possible in this confused situation

Seems like it was pretty far away

Seems like we ran

She can't make a trip like this oh I don't know that she can't

She can't possibly take all the racket from those things smashing through the windows

She can't walk she's too weak

She hasn't said anything

She's all I have

She's right you have to go downstairs now just for a little while until we get back

Shut up

Similar killings have been reported around the houston and galveston areas but nothing like the

Since convening this conference of the presidential cabinet the fbi the joint chiefs of staff the cia has not produced any public information

Slammed on my brakes to keep from hitting it myself

So at this point there is no really authentic way for us to say who or what to look for and guard yourself against misshapen monsters

So far all the betting on the answer to that question centers on the recent explorer satellite shot to venus

So far all they're able to give the public is something similar to the response of chief t k dunmore of camden north carolina who is quoted as saying quote

So far the only descriptions the only clues anyone has of the killers come from frightened witnesses

So far we have been unable to determine that any kind of organized investigation is yet under way

So let's at least consider this a while

So long as this situation remains government spokesmen warn that dead bodies will continue to be transformed into the flesh eating ghouls

So now let's go to that filmed report

So we have that truck if we can get some gas we can get outta here

So we knew the old house was here and we came in and found the lady upstairs dead

Some eyewitnesses tell of seeing victims who look as though they had been torn apart

Some laundry in a basket I tore a sheet

Some of you guys can follow the wagon down

Somebody had a cookout here vince yeah sure looks like it con

Sometime early this morning it opened its eyes and began to move its trunk

Sooner or later someone's bound to come and get us out

Stay tuned to the broadcasting stations in your local area for this list of rescue stations

Stop it now I mean it

Stop it you're acting like a child

Stop it! you're ignorant!

Take a look out that window look at

Take the boards off that door

Tell the people for god's sake to get off the streets tell 'em to go home and lock their doors and windows up tight

Ten minutes oh only 10 more minutes we don't have very long to wait

Testing are we back on

Thank you bill for that report

Thank you judy

Thank you very much chief mcclelland

That girl was screaming surely you must know what a girl screaming sounds like

That it soon became clear that we were facing some kind of national emergency

That radio is at least some kind of communication

That satellite you recall started back to earth but never got here

That was when I noticed that the entire place had been encircled

That'll hold 'em those things aren't that strong

That's how much good these windows are

That's important isn't it what to be right everybody else to be wrong

That's more than there were

That's my point

That's the cellar it's the safest place

That's the space vehicle which orbited venus and then was purposely destroyed by nasa when scientists discovered it was carrying a mysterious high level radiation with it

The bereaved will have to forgo the dubious comforts that a funeral service will give

The bodies must be carried to the street and and burned

The bodies should be disposed of at once preferably by cremation

The cellar is a death trap

The man's insane he's insane

The meeting is scheduled to convene within the hour

The murders are taking place in villages cities rural homes and suburbs with no apparent pattern or reason for the slayings

The only advice our reporters have been able to get from official sources is for private citizens to stay in their homes behind locked doors

The racket sounded like the place was being ripped apart

The radio said to stay inside radio

The scene can best be described as mayhem

The survival command center at the pentagon has disclosed that a ghoul can be killed by a shot in the head or a heavy blow to the skull

The wave of murder which is sweeping the eastern third of the nation is being committed by creatures who feast upon the flesh of their victims

Then these other people came

Then we can all leave

There are a lot out back too

There are two of them out there have you seen any more around here I can take care of those two

There are two other people upstairs a man and a girl

There is an epidemic of mass murder being committed by a virtual army of unidentified assassins

There it is

There this room looks pretty secure

There was a very high degree of radiation

There will be a report this afternoon perhaps there will be a report later yes yes

There's a big key ring down there there may be a key to the gas pump on it

There's a definite connection a definite connection

There's a house over here behind those trees we wanna go check it out

There's a pump out by the shed

There's a radio in the truck

There's a radio upstairs and you boarded us in down here

There's a socket over here

There's mass murder everywhere and people are supposed to look for a safe place to hide

There's nothing wrong with the radio must've been the station

There's supposed to be another broadcast at three o'clock

These eyewitness accounts variously describe the murderers as ordinary looking people misshapen monsters people who look like they're in a trance and things that look like people but act like animals

These things just backing away from it

They can't get in here

They know we're in here now

They must be burned immediately soak them with gasoline and burn them

They must have thought somebody was in there there wasn't though

They need you down there by the barn okay

They ought to make the day the time changes the first day of summer

They wanna stay up there let 'em

They want you upstairs

They're afraid of fire I found that out

They're coming for you

They're coming for you barbra

They're coming to get you barbra

They're just dead flesh and dangerous

This is bill cardille wic tv 11 news

This is the latest disclosure in a report from national civil defense headquarters in washington

This is the latest dispatch just received in our newsroom

This isn't a passing thing honey it it's not like just a wind passing through

This list will be repeated throughout our news coverage

This place is boarded up pretty solid now we ought to be all right here for a while

This place is ridiculous look at this there's a million weak spots up here

This pump out here is locked is there a key we can try to get out of here if we can get some gas is there a key

This station and hundreds of other radio and tv stations throughout this part of the country are pooling their resources through an emergency network hookup to keep you informed of all developments

This whole ghastly story began developing two days ago with the report of the slaying of a family of seven in their rural home near gulfport louisiana

This your house

Those last three we caught trying to claw their way into an abandoned shed

Those people aren't our enemies

Those things are gonna be at every window and door in this place!

Those things don't make any noise

Thousands of office and factory workers are being urged to stay at their places of employment not to make any attempt to get to their homes

To repeat this radio station will remain on the air day and night

Tom and I fixed it so it locks and boards from the inside

Tom are you sure about the phone the phone is dead out all you get is a recorded message

Tom are you sure we're doing the right thing tom

Tom if judy would come downstairs for a few minutes harry and I could come upstairs

Tom you and I will have to unboard this door

Tom! tom you guys need to get out of the truck!

Too many ways those monsters can get in up there

Truck is out of gas

Truck went right across the road

Two of them

Uh and he said oh it's late why did we start so late

Wait a minute

Want anything from the supply wagon kus uh no we're all right okay

Was it was the satellite when the satellite was exploded

Wasn't a sign of life left except

Watch the torch!

We are doing everything possible to solve the problem

We are staying down here helen

We better get her downstairs

We came to put a wreath on my father's grave

We can get out of here if we have to

We can leave well we'd better leave soon

We can make it to the cellar if we have to

We can take all that stuff downstairs with us

We can toss the cocktails from a window upstairs

We come out here and the one from last year is gone

We could strengthen everything up mr cooper

We don't know what kind of murder happy characters we have here

We don't know yet what complications might result from such injuries

We gotta fix these boards

We have everything we need up here

We have got to go get johnny!

We have some descriptions of the assassins eyewitnesses say they are ordinary looking people some say they appear to be in a kind of trance others describe them as being

We have the gun and the bullets food and the radio

We have to go downstairs now barbra

We have to go out and get johnny he's out there

We have to try to board the house up together

We have to work together you'll have to help me

We heard 'em making all kind of noise we came over and beat 'em off blasted 'em down

We heard the screaming yeah but I didn't know who they were and I wasn't about to take any unnecessary chances

We know we'll be into it most of the night probably into the early morning

We luck into a safe place and you're telling us we've gotta risk our lives just because somebody might need help huh

We may not enjoy living together but dying together isn't going to solve anything

We need some bottles or jars to make molotov cocktails to hold them off while we try to escape

We repeat the safest course of action at this time is simply to stay where you

We should be wrapped up here about three or four more hours we'll probably get into willard then

We thought we could hear screams but for all we knew that could have meant those things were in the house after her

We urge you to stay tuned to radio and tv and to stay indoors at all costs

We went down into the basement and put a bar across the door and it is pretty strong

We were damned lucky to get away at all

We were just trying to get to a motel before dark

We were on our way up to the lake to go swimming

We were riding in the cemetery johnny and me johnny

We'd all be a lot better off if all three of us were working together

We'll be all right here we'll be all right here till someone comes to rescue us

We'll have to hurry for our next meeting

We'll put whatever lumber we find behind the cellar door

We'll see who's right we'll see when they come begging me to let them in down here

We're able to report a definite course of action for you

We're hoping to get some further explanation of this

We're working our way toward willard and we'll team up with the national guard over there and then we'll be able to give a more definite view

We've got a right

We've got a sick child two women one woman out of her head three men and the place is surrounded with these things

We've got to do something and fast

We've got to get down into the cellar

We've got to get to a rescue station

We've got to go out and get him please!

We've got to have food down there we've got a right

We've got work to do honey and you you

We've gotta get away from the pump!

We've gotta get out of here we have to get to where there are some other people

We've heard all we need to know we have to try to get out of here

Well chief mcclelland how long do you think it will take you until you get the situation under control

Well how long after death then does the body become reactivated

Well I still think we're better off up here

Well if it really bugged you johnny you wouldn't do it

Well if there are that many they'll probably get us wherever we are

Well if there were more

Well in time would you say you oughta be able to wrap this up in 24 hours

Well is she coming come on get in!

Well it's 8 o'clock and it's still light

Well just a minute i'm not sure that that's certain at all I don't think that has been

Well one of us could try to get to the car you gonna turn it over by yourself

Well that situation has now changed

Well that's pretty hard to say we don't know how many of 'em there are we know when we find 'em we can kill 'em

Well the flowers die and the caretaker or somebody takes them away

Well the television said that's the right thing to do

Well there must have been 10 15 of those things chasing after it grabbing and holding on

Well there's no problem if you had a gun shoot 'em in the head that's a sure way to kill 'em if you don't get yourself a club or a torch beat 'em or burn 'em they go up pretty easy

Well there's not much sense in my going to church

Well two people are dead already on account of that guy

Well we don't really know

Well we killed 19 of them today right in this area

Well we're here john all right

Well we're safe now it's boarded up tight

Well you're her father

What do you mean by that

What's happening

What's happening i'll be just a second what's happening

What's wrong

What's wrong with her how'd she get hurt

Whatever it is it isn't just happening here

When first reports began filtering in newsmen and law enforcement agencies were of the opinion

When this emergency first began radio and television was advising people to stay inside behind locked doors for safety

Where'd you get the bandage

Where'd you get the coffee one of the volunteers you're doing all the work you take it thank you

Which row is it in

While we're gone the rest of you can hole up in there

Who knows what kind of disease those things carry

Why are space experts being consulted about an earthbound emergency

Why don't you do something to help somebody

Why don't you go upstairs now

Why don't you just keep calm

Why don't you see if you can find some wood some boards something there by the fireplace something we can nail this place up

Will there be a reply for the later yes there will be a reply yes later this afternoon

Will you close the window

Willard I saw a sign that said willard

With all of us working we could fix this place up in no time

Won't be long before those things'll be back pounding their way in here they're afraid now

Wonder how many times we've bought the same one

Yeah a little spit and polish he can clean this up sell it next year
