A Thing About Machines
Aired Unknown Oct 28, 1960 on CBS
Quotes
(Opening Narration)
Narrator: This is Mr. Bartlett Finchley, age forty-eight, a practicing sophisticate who writes very special and very precious things for gourmet magazines and the like. He's a bachelor and a recluse with few friends, only devotees and adherents to the cause of tart sophistry. He has no interests save whatever current annoyances he can put his mind to. He has no purpose to his life except the formulation of day-to-day opportunities to vent his wrath on mechanical contrivances of an age he abhors. In short, Mr. Bartlett Finchley is a malcontent, born either too late or too early in the century, and who in just a moment will enter a realm where muscles and the will to fight back are not limited to human beings. Next stop for Mr. Bartlett Finchley - the Twilight Zone.

Stargate: The Ark of Truth
Chapter 1: Main Title, Ancients' Debate
EXT—ORTUS MALLUM REGION, MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO, DAY
OPENING CREDITS
[Amongst a mountain range, near an ocean, a settlement exists on a wide plateau near the crest of a flat-topped, extinct volcano.]
MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO, IN A DISTANT GALAXY
[In the settlement, several Alterans go about their daily lives, shopping, working, living a simple existence.]
INT—CAVE UNDER VILLAGE
[A group of men and women debate in a cave. They are surrounded by books, candles, and various bits of machinery.]
ALTERAN MAN
We cannot hide our ways any longer.
AMELIUS
Nor should we. The Ori have amassed armies and move to destroy us. Everything we believe, all we are, is an affront to them. They will stop at nothing to destroy every last shred of evidence that opposes their fanaticism.
ALTERAN WOMAN
We have no choice. We have tried to argue reason.
ALTERAN MAN
We can fight. Use what we know to oppose them.
ALTERAN WOMAN TWO
We are so few compared to them.
AMELIUS
The Ark can change everything.
ALTERAN WOMAN
Is forced indoctrination really the answer? You would deny the Ori the very essence of self. It is no different than the murder they propose.
ALTERAN MAN
The only moral way to change someone's mind—make them see the truth, as you put it—is to present evidence.
ALTERAN WOMAN TWO
We believe in the systematic understanding of the physical world through observation and experimentation, through argument and debate, but, most of all, freedom of will. I will not compromise the fundamental tenants of my devotion in order to preserve it.
ALTERAN MAN
(to Amelius)
We acknowledge the incredible potential of the technology of the Ark.
ALTERAN WOMAN TWO
And the danger such power presents.
ALTERAN MAN
It will not be used as a weapon against the Ori. The debate on the issue is closed.
[Amelius, disappointed, turns to the open Ark beside him. He closes the lid.]

Chapter 2: The Discovery
INT—RUINED BUILDING, PRESENT DAY
[Daniel looks at the large chest he has just unburied.]
DANIEL
(turning his head toward Teal'c, behind him)
Gimme a hand?

So he regresses further and paints a third a picture of the artist painting a picture... of the artist painting a picture of the landscape. But because something is still missing... he paints a fourth and a fifth... until he paints a picture... of the artist painting a picture of the artist painting a picture... of the artist painting a picture of the artist painting a landscape.

Although i sometimes wonder what exactly is the purpose of the better business bureau when it allows itinerant extortionists like you to come back week after week, move wires around, busily probe with ham-like hands, and achieve nothing but the financial ruin of every customer.
We're not a gyp outfit, mr.
Finchley.
We're legitimate repairmen.
But i'll tell you something about yourself.
That tv set doesn't work because, obviously, you got in back of it, and you yanked out a lot of wires, and i don't know what else.
Now, a month ago, you called me over here to fix your portable radio because you threw it downstairs.
That did not work properly either.
Well, that's the point, mr.
Finchley.
Why don't they work properly? Offhand, i'd say it's because you don't treat them properly.
I assume there'll be an extra charge for that analysis? What does go wrong with these things, mr.
Finchley? Have you got any idea? Aside from being a rather incompetent clod, you're a very unreceptive man.
I have already explained to you, the television set simply did not work properly.
And, as for that marconi original operating under the guise of a modern radio, that gave nothing but static.
Are you sure that's all that was wrong with them? All right, mr.
Finchley, i'll send you a bill.
Of that i have no doubt.
Finchley, what is it with you and machines? I shall file that idiotic question in my memorabilia to be referred to at some future date when i write my memoirs.
You, my good friend, will fill one entire chapter entitled, "the most forgettable person i ever met.

DANIEL
I said "as far as we know." There may be other things it's capable of making you believe.
VALA
Maybe...we're supposed to believe those other things too.
DANIEL
You know what? That's beside the point. There's another reason we can't just open it.
VALA
Look at my hands, all right? They are raw and bleeding. I've broken every nail. We've been out here in the scorching heat for days. I haven't showered!
DANIEL
None of us have.
VALA
That is painfully obvious. Now, according to you, this crusty old chest is our salvation from oppression at the hands of the Ori army. Our best—and maybe only—remaining chance that we have. We've dug how many holes in the ground? Help me out here, Muscles.
TEAL'C
Many.
[Exasperated, Daniel tosses his excavation brush aside.]

What i'm getting at, miss rogers, is that, for as long as i have lived, i have never been able to operate machines.
Mr.
Finchley, i think you ought to see a doctor.
A doctor? The universal panacea of the dreamless 20th-century idiot.
If you're depressed, see a doctor.
If you're happy, see a doctor.
If the salary is too low and the mortgage is too high, see a doctor.
You, miss rogers yousee a doctor.
I am a logical, rational, intelligent man.
I know what i see.
I know what i hear.
And for the past three months, i've been seeing and hearing a collection of mechanical frankensteinian monsters whose whole purpose is to destroy me.
Now, what do you think of that, miss rogers? I think you're terribly ill and you need medical attention.
I also think that you're suffering from a bad case of nerves due to lack of sleep and that way down deep you yourself realize that these are nothing more than delusions.
I will not be intimidated by machines.
So it follows that no empty-headed little female with a mechanical face can do anything to me either.

[Daniel's chiseling can be heard from the other side of the doors where the Ori stand ready. The commander arrives.]
ORI SOLDIER
Commander, we have them trapped.
[The commander takes off his helmet and tosses it to the soldier. It is Tomin.]
TOMIN
(yelling to the doorway)
Vala, it's Tomin. Throw down your weapons and surrender, and I promise you will all be spared.
[Vala looks bemused.]
MITCHELL
(low)
That's funny.
(yelling back)
I was just about to say the same thing.
[Vala turns back to Daniel making a "hurry up" gesture". Daniel continues to work at the chest.]
TOMIN
Vala, you have to trust me. Your position has been targeted from space. Comply now, or you will be destroyed.
VALA
(to Mitchell)
I think we have to trust him.
MITCHELL
Jackson?
[Daniel grunts with the efforts to pry open the lid and shakes his head. The chest isn't budging.]
VALA
What if we got them to open it?
[Carter and Mitchell exchange thoughtful looks. Daniel, breathing hard from the exertion, also seems to consider it.]
VALA
Well, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, would it?
MITCHELL
(reluctantly)
All right. Invite him in.
[Grim faced, Mitchell sets down his rifle and steps back.]
VALA
(yelling to Tomin)
Um, you can come in!
Chapter 4: New Partner
[Tomin and the soldiers step forward.]
[Carter and Teal'c set down their guns. Daniel drops his hammer and chisel and stands up. Vala sets down her rifle and fluffs her hair with a pout.]
VALA
I look like crap.

VALA
(hopeful, to Tomin)
Hi... how are you?...What's new?
[Tomin steps closer. Finally he gives a small smile.]
TOMIN
What are you doing here?
MITCHELL
(deadpan)
Wow, we really are on the same page. Took the words right out of my mouth.
[Frowning, Tomin steps up to Mitchell.]
VALA
How did you know we were here?
PRIOR
The power of the Ori need not be questioned.

PRIOR
Tell me. What is this artifact you have found?
MITCHELL
Hang on a second. Shouldn't you know that already? Your logic.
DANIEL
No, wait, wait. No need to be difficult here. You want to know what it is, I'll tell you. Inside this Ark is the secret to destroying the armies of the Ori, and I think the last thing you're gonna want to do is open it.
PRIOR
You think I fear the contents?
DANIEL
I—I'm saying you really should.
PRIOR
Open it.
[Two soldiers step forward.]
DANIEL
You didn't hear what I just said?
PRIOR
Open it!
