JUDY:
Oh, wow, I've been accepted to law school, Judy!
Oh, how wonderful! I'm so happy for you, Michael! Which
one?
Nova!
Oh, that is so fantastic! That's really great! You must be so
excited! (pause) Where is it?
Mmm, let's see... (He looks over the envelope) It must say
somewhere... Ab, there it is: Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
(embracing him) Oh, I'm so happy!
[They freeze, as ROD SERLING enters.]

SERLING:
A simple letter indicating that the recipient has been accepted
to law school-ordinarily an occasion of great joyousness and
celebration, and in all other respects a relatively common
occurrence; but, for one Michael Balk, a ticket for a most
uncommon journey-a journey into a region neither of sight
nor sound, but one of mind-a journey ... into the Twilight
Zone.
