This Is What I Think.

The City on the Edge of Forever




May 6, 1983. A detail I never would have remembered if not documented here in this image of Page 82.

I was still driving that red 1967 Ford pickup I owned. I wrote about how the night of the prom as I was driving to Lesa Jewell's house I had to stop at that main intersection in Ashdown and pull off into a parking lot. Standing there in my rented white tuxedo I had to raise the hood and free up the shifting rods for the three-speed manual transmission. I have often wished I had kept that vehicle. That was the first year that Ford made a really cool truck. They screwed it up again just like the screwed up the Ford Mustang for so long.

And then I can't help but notice the passive ring to it of the photo and caption "Rhonda Shurtleff points out where she thinks it ought to go while Mrs. Cauthron, junior class sponsor, gives the students an example to follow for decorating the prom."

An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)


I know why most of you are here.
I'm not stupid.
Before you get to sell what we teach
you over at United Airlines,
got to give the Navy six years
of your life, sweet pea.
Lots of things can happen in six
years. Another war could come up.
If you're too peaceful a person
to napalm an enemy village,
where there are women and children,
I'm going to find that out.
- Understand?
- Yes, sir!
- Understand?
- Yes, sir!

I have a story to tell you.
I'll just say that he-- he didn't want to be a hero, that's for sure.
I mean, and certainly not a revolutionary.
That's just that's not who he was.
No, that won't be necessary, fellas.
She's one of us.

Listen.
I've seen it.
I've seen what it does.
The bites don't turn you, but the infection's not treatable.
The infection kills you like anything else.
Then it happens.
It doesn't matter how you die, you come back.
We all come back.

We hid until the storm was over.
Later, I went out
to take a look around.
Thought they were all dead.
Then some of them
started to come to.
They walked around
like they were confused or lost.
A few of them seemed okay.
They was trying to help the others.
Then they started changing.
Changing? What do you mean?

the wind takes them.
And then once their host dies, they
just drift along the rail road tracks
from town to town,
human to human.
What a perfect creation.
Vengeance on anything or anyone that
tries to lay claim to their planet.

You should have gone when I said.
Travis: Help us.
I'll take you with my family, but we need your help.
Where do you think your family's gonna go? There has to be somewhere.
There is a way out.
Past the ICU, the set of stairs down.
Takes you through the sublevel.
You can get out.
But there's nowhere to go.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Come with us.
There are people you can still help.
Liza.
We have to go.
She's lost.

'Now, the smoke of the fire beat over towards me, and it must have made me heavy of a sudden. Moreover, the vapour of camphor was in the air. My fire would not need replenishing for an hour or so. I felt very weary after my exertion, and sat down. The wood, too, was full of a slumbrous murmur that I did not understand.

'It was from her, too, that I learned that fear had not yet left the world. She was fearless enough in the daylight, and she had the oddest confidence in me; for once, in a foolish moment, I made threatening grimaces at her, and she simply laughed at them. But she dreaded the dark, dreaded shadows, dreaded black things. Darkness to her was the one thing dreadful. It was a singularly passionate emotion, and it set me thinking and observing. I discovered then, among other things, that these little people gathered into the great houses after dark, and slept in droves. To enter upon them without a light was to put them into a tumult of apprehension. I never found one out of doors, or one sleeping alone within doors, after dark. Yet I was still such a blockhead that I missed the lesson of that fear, and in spite of Weena's distress I insisted upon sleeping away from these slumbering multitudes.

'It troubled her greatly, but in the end her odd affection for me triumphed, and for five of the nights of our acquaintance, including the last night of all, she slept with her head pillowed on my arm. But my story slips away from me as I speak of her. It must have been the night before her rescue that I was awakened about dawn. I had been restless, dreaming most disagreeably that I was drowned, and that sea anemones were feeling over my face with their soft palps. I woke with a start, and with an odd fancy that some greyish animal had just rushed out of the chamber. I tried to get to sleep again, but I felt restless and uncomfortable. It was that dim grey hour when things are just creeping out of darkness, when everything is colourless and clear cut, and yet unreal. I got up, and went down into the great hall, and so out upon the flagstones in front of the palace. I thought I would make a virtue of necessity, and see the sunrise.

'The moon was setting, and the dying moonlight and the first pallor of dawn were mingled in a ghastly half-light. The bushes were inky black, the ground a sombre grey, the sky colourless and cheerless. And up the hill I thought I could see ghosts. There several times, as I scanned the slope, I saw white figures. Twice I fancied I saw a solitary white, ape-like creature running rather quickly up the hill, and once near the ruins I saw a leash of them carrying some dark body. They moved hastily. I did not see what became of them. It seemed that they vanished among the bushes. The dawn was still indistinct, you must understand. I was feeling that chill, uncertain, early-morning feeling you may have known. I doubted my eyes.

'As the eastern sky grew brighter, and the light of the day came on and its vivid colouring returned upon the world once more, I scanned the view keenly. But I saw no vestige of my white figures. They were mere creatures of the half light. "They must have been ghosts," I said; "I wonder whence they dated." For a queer notion of Grant Allen's came into my head, and amused me. If each generation die and leave ghosts, he argued, the world at last will get overcrowded with them.

SPOCK: I've slowed down the recording we made from the time vortex.

KIRK: February 23rd, 1936. Six years from now. (reading below the headline FDR confers with slum area 'angel') The President and Edith Keeler conferred for some time today

(Then the whole thing goes up in flames.)

KIRK: How bad?

SPOCK: Bad enough.

KIRK: The President and Edith Keeler.

SPOCK: It would seem unlikely, Jim. A few moments ago, I read a 1930 newspaper article.

KIRK: We know her future. Within six years from now, she'll become very important. Nationally famous.

SPOCK: Or Captain, Edith Keeler will die this year. I saw her obituary. Some sort of traffic accident.

KIRK: You must be mistaken. They both can't be true.

SPOCK: Captain, Edith Keeler is the focal point in time we've been looking for, the point that both we and Doctor McCoy have been drawn to. KIRK: She has two possible futures then, and depending on whether she lives or dies, all of history will be changed. And McCoy

SPOCK: Is the random element.

KIRK: In his condition, what does he do? Does he kill her?

SPOCK: Or perhaps he prevents her from being killed. We don't know which.

KIRK: Get this thing fixed. We must find out before McCoy arrives.

SPOCK: Captain, suppose we discover that in order to set things straight again, Edith Keeler must die?

[Street]

(The man from the canteen steals a milk bottle from a doorstep when McCoy leaps in through Singers Book Store window and starts shouting.)

MCCOY: Assassins! Murderers! Murderers! Assassins! You! What planet is this? (he drops the bottle) No! Don't run! I won't kill you! It's they who do the killing! Don't run! I won't kill you!
