- Quotes
Rod Serling: We hope you enjoyed tonight's romantic story on The Twilight Zone. At the same time, we want you to realize that it was, of course, purely fictional. In real life, such ridiculous nonsense could never...
Gregory West: Rod, you shouldn't!
[Gregory interrupts Rod Serling. He walks over to his safe and pulls out a tape marked Rod Serling]
Gregory West: I mean, you shouldn't say such things as "nonsense" and "ridiculous!"
[Gregory continues as he throws the tape into the fire]
Rod Serling: Well, that's the way it goes.
[in a resigned tone as he fades away]
Narrator: [Closing Narration] Leaving Mr. Gregory West, still shy, quiet, very happy - and apparently in complete control of the Twilight Zone.

An elephant makes an appearance, but the figurative elephant in the room is the question of whether men simply prefer their own fantasy to a real woman? This was the age, after all, of Julie Newmar as My Living Doll, and Barbara Eden as Jeannie. Come to think of it - didn't Jean Marsh play an attractive android in some obscure, forgotten sci-fi and fantasy TV show? (I know I reviewed that too).
End of season fun, and especially at the end. Rod Serling looks as demob- happy here as he would have been in 1945.
