Why Please, Why Please?

Lay?

A story written and directed.

By Willis Cooper and featuring Ernest Cappell is called I Remember Tomorrow?

Would you tell me the time?

Please?

Oh?

Thank you.

I didn't see the clock, Thank you very much.

I just wanted to see how.

Much more time I have before a certain thing happened.

I wanted to see if I have time.

Enough to chinde what's going to happen, because certain things should be done after it happened, you see, and I'm rather afraid that it'll be up to you to do them.

I uh, I won't be here.

Uh let me see hard I better stat Uh.

Perhaps it would be best if I give you the description of the three men.

I mean, you'll forgive me if I sound a little excuse occasionally I'm doing anything to remember us at times, remember them all.

Oh, yes, the description of it.

There are three of them.

Lauderbuch Oh, he's about a medium size, probably forty years old, has red hair and a heavy red miss bat latter back.

Seems to be the bought or perhaps I should say, the leader.

And the second one is Greg.

Greg is a large man, Shocky, I should imagine, would call him.

He's around fifties, smooth shaven and has Sandy's hair just in a gray.

And Frank.

He's say, I don't know his last name.

Frank is all I've heard him call but the others, and I'm certain less his first name.

Frank wears glasses with heavy bows.

He has black, thin hair, and young compared to the other it's twenty four five.

I used to say, they're all very dangerous, man.

I'm afraid Furst.

I didn't realize the person there.

Was dangerous meant.

But the event and the past few days that demonstrated to me as they are, and as I shall show you in a few moments.

I now have in controvertible proof that they are extremely dangerous.

It is quite.

Forestant for you.

If they do not know, I am confidous to you.

However, if you will do exact years I asked you, I feel reasonably sure that there would be no serious results for you.

For myself, I already know the outcomeing of you.

Quite impossible to change that.

But you.

Your task is to bring justice, To bring to justice to men who murdered me.

Or should I say to the men who.

Are about to murder me, let me talk from the beginning as with enough time.

My name is Garrett Faber.

I am by professing what careless newspaper.

Writers called a science.

My application, I am a gambler is singularly be asked an unfortunate gamblers women guiactic one.

In addition, I am afraid I drink.

Perhaps my apportunate cards, maybe in a way takes the bud of my lit empty for my story.

Come a see.

It may be that I drink it touched you.

If I get to sends of money, I lose a cord.

That's the same.

What do you know?

Unfortunately, I should have to wait until our coolic years over.

I left a large picture.

Of Martians on the table yesterday.

When I left there, I see by the empty pictues that I drank its content.

As a matter of fact, I believe thank today I was finishing the picture when.

He's killed me.

Therefore, I have at least this cost relation make to my community will be waiting.

For me when I get back to yesterday.

Even if I am a dream murderers as I finished them is an interesting pot.

I know it sounds like what RATHERB I call double top, doesn't it?

But if you understand it all B, and if you listen carefully.

I find many interesting subjects to thought in this room.

One of them is a partially drive staying on the conference seeing blood scene where I fell.

I mean I looked at a consiquence.

Oh so that's the way.

One month ago today, No, one month ago yesterday, I was sitting in a certain saloon.

I was quite pressed for it was a warm day, and I unfortunately had no money for the purchase of any kind of liquid with us.

My wife deplored my habit of waiting around in the saloon to an acquaintance to come in and buying as link report.

But she's deplored so many of my habits that I, uh, are you married?

I rot.

Of understands well.

It seems my acquaintances had.

Other things to do that afternoon, and I I had appeared.

With zooms to sit.

And perspire and envy the more fortunate.

Tape things of the balloons.

Who have the wherever or that I like?

I had about given up in despair when a voice at my shoulder, aren't you doctor Garrett paper It's emphasized.

I answered him.

I am the praise you have them much you have had adjum.

My name is Johnny lauderdat doctor paper because a break.

How do you do that?

The ranks meet, doctor favor state local, not your paper.

Would you have a drink with us?

Speak neighbors to say, I accepted the pleasure.

I uh, there was a time when I did not so.

Readily drink to straight but wellhause it was the kind of conditioning of my mind that led me to the tune.

Of these men were casual acquaintance to whom I did not remember in any rate.

The afternoon war on, and we did.

Become back of the time about another double Martini, doctor Faber, drink up doctor, or Martini's on the way you buy one for the doctor.

Hey, Patty, another double Martini?

And I am afraid that that was the last I remember of our afternoon.

And the next morning, however, I recalled his pintly.

I had a trans and bentul angle, and I was not at home.

My three drinking companions were still with John Elon Back, mister Gregg and Rotter Back A good enough to produce the body the copy we went.

She brought me a large number full.

I thank it gratefully, and the dark clouds in the room the sprints a second comber full and doctor Stable us almost himself again.

If you bet you might be.

I reached your third glasses for that's up for now, Doctor Faber, one more and you be on your ear again.

You'll feel all right now?

Gently?

What I am the type to call you?

Could one of you tell me where we are?

Where we are isn't very important right now, doctor Faber.

It's where we're going to be doctors.

Yeah, we read, I don't fight in you stand.

I'll tell you, Doctor.

Sable, Yeah, if you taught me a lot about it, sure we will left twelve dollars.

Doctor you used to see one of the most brilliant.

Physicists in the busines.

I want a rosization.

Yeah, but bottles and that s lacket doesn't mean a nuts right And since this time my friend.

Is too success sign you haven't had a garb in quite one time?

Had it not even quite some time?

Gentlemen drinking and offering his job?

I mean you might a temporary job, but a lot of go attack.

Would this be the honest strung?

It would require a no hard liquor for a while, from staying out of touch and a pay off that don't kidd.

Your dot may I don't more about this, uh job, doctor, listeners, we're not screwing you know we know something about their work in those times.

But I understand then why you use the word screw as you may remember that the character.

Of my work is because you might dismissal.

I mean, listen, but probably what put you on the bottle?

Quite We don't care.

About that, Dot in Prince the sight more that twere yes you were investigating any time in the space relationship I seen you.

That's the time of the important insistentially correct.

The university took a out gm view of some of the reports of my works as decision to publish.

Did I remember that they get it the pants of it here?

They did that, indeed.

But you think you're on me up enough, doctor favorite, But.

No, I most secured me very great, Toe.

That's why we want you to do this job.

For it you ought to do it standing on your head, Dot, And I'm a grade you haven't you broken me?

Good?

If the job consist up?

Uh?

Perhaps like that?

Do it?

Huh?

That's won't you telephone my wife?

We told him that for you good.

We told you you leave us the one new Pugets that you.

Meet in the kidneys in hand.

You o't go may of the two hundred dollars.

Yeah, you're retaining you do.

You will be very happy if you use some money.

I'm afraid I haven't been able to sup fuire anything some time.

You figure you'd break the job, do this on two hundred dollars.

There's not much as the investment, not what we figured it against.

Like this job will make for it in definitely I'm billing the dog.

Well, uh, there's a lot of box will explain it to you.

Yeah, that's why I missed a lot of that, doctor, pay the according to your tents, you mean you stopped Well, it kind of as once you said the little thing not direct.

You said it's something like air or water, didn't it?

Well, that needs a little anthractitation.

It tends you to move around anytime, like you move around in the air and.

Water and stopping theories that well, I believe that possible.

Would you prove that story, doctor Stabor.

I was dismissed from the university before I.

Had an opportunity to use like you was good for it, though I I have reasons to believe that I could.

Yes, that's r Why.

Do you ask this purpose is this this good?

He doesn't WELLY sure?

A doctor?

The doctor stable good.

We want you to make a time machine.

As far as that.

Thanks to me, I was smelling that.

You never want I rething it like a good in seas of the time, and I've seen as much less guys.

Do order what I hesitated.

I thought.

I wasn't sure I could do it.

You can do it, all right.

Doctors said it would cost a great view of money.

We'll get up the money.

I said.

It would require considerable time.

We can wait.

That's the payoffs good enough.

We can wait a long time.

And so I'm not to react about the payoff.

Had a small drink doc there.

Obviously I accept as a challenge.

Obviously I can structed the time the team.

Otherwise, how could I be.

Talking to you some tomorrow.

How could I be speaking to you at ten thirteen of the PM Eastern daylight saving time on Monday, July twenty eighth, and you are as obviously listening to me at ten thirteen on Sunday, July twenty seven.

I don't know what you are working.

Maybe this means to meeting other times.

Don't have to six thirteen tom specific standards.

I am at seven thirteen a mountain times you see, don't do this.

I am us relative y' a well, two critics tim hamble.

I.

The're not going to each other, and it means to meet the others to think said.

Oh, although what you meant your comfortable that you match the machine.

Rights before me under table here a rather faster the vice looking something like this camera.

But it's vergility is atm it.

It cannot be destroyed now.

Uh uh observed, well here here is a hammer's nothing.

Nothing whatever happened.

And for the very excellent reason, the team cannot be destroyed now tomorrow, because it's must go back to me before.

Long, to what it is today to you.

If I could enjoy it now, it would be impossible for it to go back in the whole Extama.

Gold have become impossible to follow me.

Still in the matter I can think to story.

Let me go back to the afternoon when I first was cheered me that I had a rotten meant the time machine that.

Would actually work.

I had consumed a great deal of wicked.

He got a back in his friend's late general, and I found, strangely enough, the drinking did not seem to affect.

My work since it or my think you have to do.

I have to it out that I might not have been able to deal with at the leaders too late.

Now it works and it has already performed at sunting my shall.

I say, sponsors, we're most curious that app How we are going.

To approve it works?

Doctor Fager?

Send something into the future?

Send Why not me?

I rather think we will try it and and then them the object first, gentle, remember the pencil there, Yes, the pencil.

You can't hurt the pencils.

Well if this works, If it worked, old man, how long will.

It be gone?

Yah?

Through the purpose of the demonstration, I should send it away for uh wait, only a few seconds?

How far away?

So we say, uh tomorrow, Yeah, tomorrow, very well, and that's fine enough.

Well, uh tomorrow five second?

Are we ready?

Yeah?

Sure, I watch that it's gone.

I watch one second, two, three, four five?

That hit again.

Let's see it, cause it's gonna be changed.

It isn't.

Why should it be?

Listen, how do we know that pencil was in tomorrow?

Oh we don't, Frank, Well, but where was it?

Well?

Yeah, yeah, but how are we gonna know?

Tell me that doctor?

How are we gonna know.

We'll have to send somebody who can come back and report.

Who is that gonna be?

Doctor Faber?

Not me?

Not me.

Doctor.

Will you have a drink?

I will have a drink.

I will have two drinks.

I will have a large number of drinks.

I will listen.

You are invented a doctor.

You know more about it than I.

I will drink again and shake my head solemnly at your importuneancies, gentlemen.

One of us might bust the thing you know, oh on that we have to know for sure, because I don't quite trust your gentlemen, I don't know what you are up to.

But slowly the suspicion grows in my alcoholic mind that.

You want this instrument for no good.

And if I do use it and travel into tomorrow, if I shall do it alone, when none of you are about, I can be crafty and cunning myself, gentlemen, as crafty and cunning as I suspect you are.

And I shall do my first exploring alone, and deliberately, I set out to drink myself into a condition where I shall be of no use whatever to my patrons.

And her voice is wavered off in a haze of my own maid.

You out a pot.

But then after a while it was night and my head was reasonably clear, and I was locked in my room and not a vacuum reg and frank where I assumed peacefully sleeping.

And that was my time let It was the time to look at to mark.

I looked at the calendar on the table and said Thursday July thirty.

I looked at the clock eleven thirty four pm.

I passed the chain on the door, and I turned on a small light at the table, and then I attached the time machine to my wrist.

Carefully, I set it for one month ahead.

Carefully I set the dial to allow me five.

Minutes in the future.

Then with the last swift.

Look around, I dressed the release.

It was not an unpleasant sensation.

The room was dark.

The light I had just turned on was out reached for the switch to turn it on again, and I was straddled nearly out of my sound lights splashed outside.

They seemed to be coming from the sky above, and the.

Air was heavy with rashing sound.

Had I made an error in calculation?

Was I the only witness of a comic destruction?

I rushed to the winds of the lights continued to flash ruck.

It's a railroad sixty display of glorious sound and color.

I watched it in terror for a moment.

Then I remember I had a real to me back as the table turned on the light and the desk calendar.

Cleared up at me.

Friday, July fourth.

That was it.

I had made an error, and I thought I'd.

Set the machine for a month ahead, but it was only for a day.

It was tomorrow.

My watch TikTok.

The evening paper lay on the table the day July fort nineteen forty seven, and I had my proof.

I snatched up the paper and stuffed it in the pocket, and the fireworks outside died away, and the watch TikTok, and suddenly I was back.

July third, nineteen forty seven, said the calendar pad.

I had succeeded.

I had seen to morrow to day, and I had my proof.

I reached for tomorrow's newspaper.

There was no paper for perhaps I dropped it on the floor.

Now there was no paper, there was no proof.

M I tried again with the machine.

I found out some things.

No matter how I said it, it would only go to the next day.

Perhaps there's some kind of providence that prevents man from scene too far into the future.

I found out something else.

It was impossible to bring.

Back anything from the future.

I tried it with a newspaper.

I tried it with a.

Dozen of the tangible things, but I was always.

Empty handed when I returned.

Now, my friends didn't know this.

They didn't know anything about all.

The to morrows I had seen.

I was to remembered to find out what use they intended to make of my machine first, and I found out, Oh, I had held out against testing the machine in their presence, so far as they knew.

I'd never tried to.

Nick left after me day after day, and at last I.

Set my face, And what.

Do you want to use this machine for?

Gentlemen?

Shall I tell him?

Greg?

Might as well, I guess.

About your friend.

Yeah, you'll find out anyway.

Well, I shall not test a gentleman until I know what.

If we hooked it up and sent you out anyway, Yeah.

Whether you want to or not, how about that?

It wouldn't work, gentlemen?

A right, you don't think I'm quite.

A fool, do you?

What do you mean, favor?

I haven't shown you everything about its operation yet, okay, tell him it's.

A lot of that.

You appear to have us more or less over a barrel, doctor, Sure, thank you.

So we're gonna make a lot of money with it.

You said that, how very simple, too simple, that, doctor Faber.

We intend to step into the future, knock.

Over a few banks, and come back to today with the money.

See that, Yes, but you got what.

I didn't tell them what I had discovered.

I didn't tell them my machine could move no farther into the future than twenty four hours.

And I didn't tell them that they could bring nothing back with them.

Even if I'd sympathize with their remarkable scheme, I didn't dare tell them I was caught.

They'd find out sometime then what it was.

A good scheme, wasn't it.

But of course there are physical laws that cannot be violated.

If you take something from the future and bring it back to today, then it never existed in the future.

Who they could out for yourself.

It doesn't take a doctor of philosophy to work it out.

So that was it.

Now I had to demonstrate whether I wanted to or not.

I thought fast, Perhaps I could set the machine so.

I could stay indefinitely.

In the future.

I studied it high.

I thought I could do it, and they watched me.

That was yesterday, today, today to them, and yesterday to me whom it was nearly half an hour ago, or if I trust the calendar, twenty four and a half hours ago.

I set the machine for an indefinite stay and tomorrow, and they watched me curiously.

They said, bring us back Tomorrow's paper, Doctor, don't stay too long, hurry back out, and try laughed as I pressed the release.

Now it's tomorrow here, and you've got to help me because I can't stay here indefinitely.

I'm going back.

The machine works automatically.

They'll take me back whether I want to go or not.

Do you want to know how?

I know?

Well?

And a little while ago I was.

Sitting here alone Fromorrow's paper was on the table beside me, and the door opened and they walked in.

I spoke to them, Hello.

They walked on him, paying no attention.

You'd better get that blood cleaned up, Frank, Yeah, it's too easy to spot.

I'll get at it again.

I looked down.

There was a blood spot on the carpet me where I was sitting.

There, I spoke again, Where did the blood come from?

Mister Dan?

Now we know the thing works, we gotta get some money.

Oh, it works all right, mister.

The first thing was to get rid of his body.

Whose body, mister Latin, and keep it there in the closet forever.

You know, somebody might come in while we're out.

Has somebody had been killed?

Mister?

Anyway, we owe him something.

He got paid off thout, I sort of like the dock.

At that, knock him off, knock whom wall.

He couldn't keep him around after he got the machine working and tested it out for us, could we?

Of course not?

He served his purer.

Are you talking about it?

Though?

When he picked up that picture of Martini's and took a big slug, I thought he had a hunch that something was up.

Uh, forget it, Frank, And he said, I drink the success, gentlemen.

That was yesterday, Frank, And I knew.

I knew why they didn't see me or hear me.

You know now, dud, don't you.

I wasn't there.

This was tomorrow to them.

It was yesterday.

They killed me when I came back.

When I said I had drink his success, gentlemen, I wasn't there in the room when they talked about it.

I was there, So I know now, and you know I've got to go back.

I've got to go back and be killed.

Nothing can stop that.

I should have known.

But you, h You've got to help me.

You've got to send the police here.

They've got to be captured before they can use my machine.

Think what they can do with it.

And they're murderers.

They murdered me.

You will help, won't you.

Oh?

Yes you will, Yes, you will, I know you will.

Friend, you did help, Yes you did.

That says so right here in tomorrow's papers.

Look, you've got to help.

They can do so many terrible things of my machine.

No, I know they can't bring anything back to tomorrow with them, but they can kill you.

Will help.

Let me read you what tomorrow's paper says about what you did.

Uh, I'm afraid I didn't read it all the first time.

I'm some.

No, I'm terribly sorry.

But well, listen, die this afternoon as a result of wounds suffered in the capture of those remat that's your friend, that's you that's to be killed tomorrow.

Trying to help me.

Oh, you can't change it.

You can't change it anymore, and I can't.

A machine is buzzing again.

I'm going back.

I'll pick up my drink and I'll say I drink to success.

Jent, Well, doctor, did you make it?

I drink to success.

Gentlemen, you have heard I Remember tomorrow, a Quiet.
