The Day the Earth Stood Still


1:25:00
We have an organization for
the mutual protection of all planets,

1:25:05
and for the complete
elimination of aggression.

1:25:08
The test of any such higher authority
is, of course, the police force that supports it.

1:25:14
For our policemen,
we created a race of robots.

1:25:19
Their function is to patrol the planets
in spaceships like this one,

1:25:24
and preserve the peace.

1:25:26
In matters of aggression
we have given them absolute power over us.

1:25:31
This power cannot be revoked.

1:25:34
At the first sign of violence,
they act automatically against the aggressor.

1:25:39
The penalty for provoking their action
is too terrible to risk.

1:25:45
The result is, we live in peace,

1:25:48
without arms or armies,

1:25:50
secure in the knowledge that
we are free from aggression and war,

1:25:53
free to pursue more profitable enterprises.

1:25:58
We do not pretend
to have achieved perfection,

1:26:01
but we do have a system, and it works.

1:26:06
I came here to give you these facts.

United States Marshals Service

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is a United States federal law enforcement agency within the United States Department of Justice (see 28 U.S.C. § 561) and is the oldest federal law enforcement agency in the United States.

The USMS is the enforcement arm of the United States federal courts. U.S. Marshals protect court officers and buildings and ensure the effective operation of the judicial system.


The offices of U.S. Marshals and Deputy Marshals were created by the first Congress in the Judiciary Act of 1789, the same legislation that established the federal judicial system. In a letter to Edmund Randolph, the first United States Attorney General, President George Washington wrote,

Impressed with a conviction that the due administration of justice is the firmest pillar of good Government, I have considered the first arrangement of the Judicial department as essential to the happiness of our Country, and to the stability of its political system; hence the selection of the fittest characters to expound the law, and dispense justice, has been an invariable object of my anxious concern.

:43:08
The people who come to the meeting
must be made to realize this.

:43:12
They must understand what is at stake.

:43:16
- You mentioned a demonstration of force.
- Yes.

:43:18
- Would one be possible before the meeting?
- Yes, of course.

:43:22
Something to dramatize for them and
their people the seriousness of the situation.

:43:26
- Something to affect the entire planet.
- That can easily be arranged.

:43:30
I wouldn't want you to harm anybody
or destroy anything.

:43:33
Leave it to me. I'll think of something.

:43:36
Maybe a little demonstration.

:43:40
Something dramatic, but not destructive.

:43:44
That's quite an interesting problem.

:58:47
- What happened?
- What time is it?

:58:52
Just 12.00.

:58:53
We shall be here for a little while.
About 30 minutes.

:58:59
- We can try pushing the other buttons.
- They won't work.

:59:03
- Why not? - You see, the
electricity's been neutralized...

:59:07
all over the world.

:59:10
Bobby was telling the truth, wasn't he?

:59:13
Yes.

:59:42
It's that spaceman. That's what it is.

:23:34
- What is it you want?
- My name is Carpenter. I need a room.

:23:39
- Oh, I see.
- Are you an FBI man?

:23:43
- No, I'm afraid not. - I'll bet he is.
He's looking for the spaceman.

:23:47
We've all been hearing
too much about spacemen.

:23:49
- This is Mrs Benson, Mr Carpenter.
- How do you do?

:23:52
And little Bobby.

:23:54
- Mr and Mrs Barley. And Mr Krull.
- How do you do?

:23:58
And I'm Mrs Crockett.

:24:01
I have a very nice room on the second floor.
It gets the sun all day long.

:24:06
Can I help you look for the spaceman?
I know what he looks like.

:24:09
- He's got a big square head with three eyes.
- That's enough, Bobby. It's late. Excuse me.

:24:15
We mustn't annoy Mr Carpenter,
or he won't want to stay here.

:24:20
He's really a dear little boy,
and quiet as a mouse.

:24:24
- You're a long way from home, aren't you?
- How did you know?

I am not certain how long I was asleep before waking up a few hours ago. I might have been asleep for more than 8 hours or I might have just had another long nap as I did a few hours before I fell asleep that last time. I know I was asleep in my clothes both times but I've been asleep for more than 8 hours in clothes so I don't know. Anyway, the dream just before I awoke seemed to be something about Apollo 11. In the dream, I was walking on Neil Armstrong's farm although how I knew it was his farm I do not know and I remember that I was the only person in the dream but there was a sense of someone telling me information in the dream and I could not see that person. As I was just writing that last sentence, the thought occurred to me that I am dreaming of hearing another person communicate to me through the speaker in my spacesuit helmet. So in the dream, I did not recognize any specific idenitfying details of my dream although I might have seen a building in the direction I had walked from that resembles a building near here. I also remember that after I awoke, I was thinking most about how it seemed important that I could not remember the details leading up to my walk onto Neil Armstrong's farm and I was puzzling over how that seemed something I wished I could remember but I could not. In the few hours after waking up, I am also thinking that Neil Armstrong's farm actually represents that I was walking along the Apollo 11 landing site and that the landing site is referred as Neil Armstrong's landing site because he was the mission commander. In the dream, I could clearly see my feet, and after waking, I am thinking that I was wearing that white lunar space suit although that is not so clear and it was not lunar dust that I was plodding through but a heavy dusting of snow on the ground. After I awoke though, I am certain that I was dreaming of walking through the layer of powdered dirt on thelunar surface. So after that, I am not really certain what happens next but I was still listening to someone talking and I also think I might have been dreaming memories of times I imagined when Neil Armstrong was describing watching me walk on the lunar surface. I only have a very vague sense of seeing myself walking on the Moon and I only have the sense of that detail from the dream. Towards the end of the dream, I was leaving that farm and I could see myself walking towards the gate and I was looking at a small wire that was used to fasten the gate and I have also pondered over how there was a large structure to my right that was some kind of wall structure but all I can visualize from the dream is from my peripheral vision as I was looking at the gate. Also, before I was walking towards the gate, and as I think back, I must have been on the other side of that large structure, as though I had walked around it, there was some kind of dialog going onabout me going to a place in the distance, and in the opposite direction where I had come from, to get some food. I guess it was a fast food place but I do not recognize any identifying details about it. It was a long ways away but I could see it vaguely in my dream. I guess I was again dreaming in the context of imagination, in that during my dream, I was imagining the place I was going to go to. But the problem was that I was carrying a rifle and I did not want to go in there carrying that rifle even though, according to details I remember from the dream, there really was not any problem with me carrying that rifle any where I wanted to go. In the dream though, I just did not want to carry a rifle to that location. At the time of this dialog or what ever it was, I seemed to be standing in the same place I had been while walking through the lunar dust or snow or whatever it was. With the direction I had come from to my left side, I looked forward and Iwas pondering over leaving the rifle in some wooded area where there seemed to be creek but that I could not see but there seemed to be some dialog where I told someone I did not want to leave my rifle back there because I was concerned someone might find it and take it. So that seemed to be the point where I was leaving the farm and I was walking to some where that I do not remember now and I am not certain if my destination was established in the dream. I do remember there seemed to be some kind of dialog where, I guess Neil Armstrong, was commenting about how I had just moved into that place next door without being told. After being awake for a while, I am thinking that has something to do with me moving into this place named Vermont and that has some bearing on how the state of Vermont is next to the state of New York. After that, I saw myself at the gate and I was looking at a small wire that held the gate closed and I have been thinking since Iawoke that the wire is actually symbolic of how there is a hidden microphone in here somewhere and there have been hidden microphones in every place I have lived since being out here.

The Day the Earth Stood Still


1:02:33
I've told you more than I told Barnhardt
because, in a sense, my life is in your hands.

1:02:38
I thought if you knew the facts, you'd see
the importance of the meeting tonight.

1:02:44
Of course. Of course I do.

1:02:48
- You hold great hope for this meeting.
- I can see no other hope for your planet.

1:02:52
If this meeting should fail,
then I'm afraid there is no hope.

1:02:57
It must be 12.30.

1:03:02
Yes.

1:03:04
Just exactly.

After I awoke from a nap this afternoon, I felt compelled to write about a dream I had just before I woke up but then did not write about it. I started feeling that need to write about it again but may have forgotten some details by now. I have started thinking that the dreams I have just before waking up mean something in their own right.

In the dream, I was wearing a Navy uniform. I didn’t have anywhere to go though and seemed to be just walking around what I guess was a Navy installation. I decided to go into a building to ask if another Commander was still there even though I knew he wasn’t there. I spoke to a Navy enlisted person who appeared to be an Airman judging by his three green stripes although I couldn’t make out his rating symbol. He asked me a question but I didn’t hear his question and I asked him to repeat it by saying “Sir?” to him with an inquisitive tone. He asked me how I could not know that the other Commander was already deployed and I said something about how I just did not know. I left and walked down and out on some kind of spiral staircase, although that part isn’t that clear and I find myself wondering about that part. There was another spiral staircase ahead of me, there seemed to be dual staircases on either side of the front door to that building, and a Lt. j.g. came down the other side. I want to say he was someone I should know but I can’t picture him as someone I knew. I want to say it was him that spoke something to me at that point but I also want to say the voice came from behind me. He said, or someone else said, something about me being “a little off.” I wondered if he meant that I was wrong about some of these details. Then I wondered if he meant I was a little crazy, but I think I started thinking that last one after I woke up. I think after he or someone said that, it made me start thinking about the uniform I was wearing. I found myself thinking after I awoke that it seemed to be a Marine Corps officers dress uniform. I seemed to be wearing the dark blue Marine uniform with white pants. But I am confused about one detail as it seemed I looked to my left shoulder and saw Navy shoulder boards with Captain stripes. Or was it just an epaulet, I am not sure, but there was a pair of sunglasses clipped under it. I was walking down the sidewalk and there were two people ahead of me. One may have been that Lt. j.g. Another was a female officer, Navy I guess. Somewhere along there I realized I had forgotten to wear the appropriate cover for that uniform and realized that I was still wearing a ball cap, although I had actually taken it off as I went outside. I realized I couldn’t return anyone’s salute. Then I started thinking that the ball cap had USS Wainwright printed on it but I don’t remember actually looking at it and I may remember that detail in the sense that someone was reading details to me, they were telling me what the name was on the cap. I also remember that it had a frayed bill just like the Nike cap I have now. I remember I was walking very slowly. It was hard to walk and I was limping. I have thought several times before that if I do start wearing the uniform again, I should use a cane until I get my leg back in better shape. Then I was in a parking garage and I had to cross a street into a parking lot, I guess to find my car.
