VOICE-OVER VARIATIONS
VERSION 1
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to
adjust the picture. We are controlling the transmission. If we wish to
make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it
softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We
will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We
can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity.
For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and
hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You
are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to
experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the
Outer Limits.
VERSION 2
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to
adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. We will control the
horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it
flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal
clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you
see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television
set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to
experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the
outer limits.
(Missing the line about making it louder and softer.)
VERSION 3
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to
adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. We will control the
horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it
flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal
clarity. For the next hour we will control all that you see and hear. We
repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about
to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe
and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits.
(Missing the part: Sit quietly and.)
VERSION 4
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to
adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. For the next hour
we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience
the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer
limits.
(Missing a whole bunch of stuff.)
THE NEW OUTER LIMITS
There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust
the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the
horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand channels
or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. We can shape
your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour
we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience
the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to the
outer limits.
