Monsters - Part 2

How come his car just opens started like that? All by itself. He was anywhere near to just start it all by itself. He never did come out to look at that thing that flew overhead. He wasn't even interested. He always was an oddball. He was this whole family. And why did he come up with the rest of us to look? What do you say we go ask him? Wait a minute. Let's not be a moth. I just don't understand it. I tried to start it. Wouldn't start. You saw me all of you saw me. Don't understand. I swear I just don't understand. What's happening? Well, maybe you better tell us. There's nothing working on this street. Nothing, no lights, no power, no radio. Nothing except one car, yours. How do you figure started, las? Yeah, how do you explain that? Yeah, what's the idea las? wait a minute now. Just keep your distance all of you. Okay, so I've got a car that starts by itself. Well, it's a. It's a freak thing I admit it, but what's it make me a criminal or something? I don't know why it starts. It just does. What's this all about, Steve? We're on a monster kicked us. Seems the general impression now holds. It may be there's a family that isn't what we think they are. Monsters from outer space says something different than us. 5th columnist from the vast beyond. Now do you know anybody that might fit that description around here on maple street? This is a gag or something? What is this? A practical joke or something? I suppose to incriminate me, huh? The car starts and stops and that really does it, huh? Really does it. I don't understand it anymore in any of you do. Look, you all know me. We've lived here for 5 years, right in this house. We aren't any different from you, any different at all. The whole thing is just. Really, the whole thing is just weird. Well, if that's the case, let's explain why you. Explain what? Let's just forget it. Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let her talk. Go ahead, explain why? Well, sometimes I stay up late at night. And a couple of times. Only a couple of times, I'd come out on my porch and I've seen this Goodman here. In the wee hours of the morning. Standing in his yard just looking up at the sky. That's why I just just looking up at the sky as though we were waiting for something. As though he were looking for something. You know, really, this is for laughs. You know what I'm guilty of? I'm guilty of insomnia. Well, what's the penalty for that? We heard what I said. I said it was insomnia. I said it was insomnia. You scared frightened rabbits you. You're sick people, do you know that? You're sick people. All of you. And you don't even know what you're starting here, because let me tell you. Let me tell you. You're starting something here that that's what you should be frightened of. As God is my witness, you're letting something begin here that's. That's a nightmare. Just doesn't feel right keeping watch on them. When there are neighbors, we've known the Goodmans ever since they came here. We've been good friends. That don't prove a thing. Any guy who spend his time looking up at the sky early in the morning, there's something that's wrong with that kind of a person. Something that ain't legitimate. Under normal circumstances, let it go by, but these aren't normal circumstance. Look at that street. Nothing but candles. It's like going back into the dark ages or something. Stay right where you are, Steve. We don't want any trouble, but this time anyone who sets foot on my porch, that's what he's going to get. Trouble. I've already explained to you people. I don't sleep very well at night sometimes. So I get up. I go out, I take a walk. I look up at the sky. I look at the stars. That's exactly what he does. Why this whole thing is some kind of madness. That's exactly what it is, mrs Goodman. Some kind of madness. You best watch who you see with Steve? Till we get this all straightened out. You ain't exactly about suspicion yourself. Are you, Charlie? Or any of us, it seems from age 8 on up. What I want to know is what are we gonna do? Just stand around here all night. There's nothing else we can do. One of them will tip their hand. They got to. There's something you can do, Charlie. You can go inside and keep your mouth shut. You can quit sitting there like a self appointed hanging judge and just climb into bed and forget it. You sound pretty anxious to have that happen, Steve. I guess we ought to keep an eye on you too. Yeah, I think maybe everything might as well come out now. Do I spend doing a little talk in Steve? About some of the odd things you've been doing. Yeah? Oh, go ahead, Don. Tell us what she said. Go ahead. What's my wife said? Let's get it all out. Let's pick out every idiot secretcy of every man, woman, and child in this whole street. And then we might as well set up some kind of a kangaroo court. Now, how about a firing squad of dawn, Charlie to get rid of all the suspects? Mail them down for you. Make it easier. Huh? Write down. Well there is no need getting so upset, Steve. It's just that. Well, Myra's talked about how there's been plenty of nights you spent hours down in your basement working on some kind of radio or something. Well, none of us have ever seen that radio. All right, Steve. What kind of radio set you working on? I never seen it. News anyone else. Who talks to you on that, uh, radio set, and who do you talk to? I'm surprised of you Charlie. How come you're so dense all of a sudden? Who do I talk to? I talked to monsters from outer space. I talked to three headed green men who fly over here in what look like meteors. Steve, please. It's just a ham radio set. That's all.
