"My Favorite Martian" (1963)

Assuming I wrote the lines for Phoebe to read in her character without her knowing I wrote the script, this is quite humorous. This script I found on the internet indicates that the guy Phoebe's character is going to marry works for an airline.

EXT. MALL PARKING LOT - NIGHT


Linda and Stacy walk past rows of cars. Stacy stops at a brown MG.

STACY
There... There's his car. I know he's at work tonight. He hasn't come into Swenson's since he called my house. My mother told him I was still at high school, after I told him I was nineteen. I guess I should tell him I'm fifteen.

LINDA
Don't you dare, you'll never hear from him again.

STACY
Does Doug care that you're seventeen?

LINDA
Doug sees beyond that stuff to what the person inside is like. That's why I'm marrying him.

STACY
If he ever calls again I'll say I'm eighteen.

LINDA
Boy I am so glad to be through with all these games.

...

STACY
(pause)
What's Doug do in Chicago?

LINDA
He works for the airline. He'll be out here. You'll meet him.

Stacy looks at Linda, almost disbelieving.



This is the guy that is mentionally specifically in the script by "Mr. Hand," the U.S. history teacher. The person that is mentioned was born 135.9 years before Phoebe, forming a 1-359 clue.

We are now several weeks into the school year. Mr. Hand is dropping test papers on desks like they are pieces of manure.

MR. HAND

C... D... F... F... F... three weeks we've been talking about the Platt Amendment. What are you people? On dope? A piece of legislation was introduced into Congress by Senator John Platt. It was passed in 1906. This amendment to our Constitution has a profound impact upon all of our daily liv....



Further support that Phoebe and I were arranged to be married; probably before we were even born.
