A TRANSMISSION FROM SPACE


SOUND: CONTROL ROOM, BLIPS, RADAR NOISES, ETC.


BECKFORD: Sir, sir.

SIR: What is it, Beckford?

BECKFORD: We’ve just received a transmission from outer space, sir.

SIR: A transmission?

BECKFORD: Yes, sir. It’s happening.

SIR: What?

BECKFORD: They’ve arrived.

SIR: Um, who?

BECKFORD: Yes . . . the Amoeba People!


MUSIC: OMINOUS


SIR: Did you make a recording?

BECKFORD: Yes, sir, on this handy cassette tape. And though it certainly sounds extraterrestrial, it sounds strangely human as well.

SIR: What does that mean, Beckford?

BECKFORD: It seems to be a collection of songs, stories and other non-sequiturs.

SIR: Well in that case this is remarkable, uh, Beckford!

BECKFORD: Would you like me to play the tape, sir?

SIR: Yes, Beckford, but before you do, you must realize one thing.

BECKFORD: What’s that, sir?

SIR: Well, you put me on the spot now . . . I can’t seem to remember.

BECKFORD: Well put, sir. Let me play that tape for you.

SOUND: CASSETTE INSERTED INTO PLAYER, “PLAY” DEPRESSED
