I Dream of Jeannie (1965) s03e08 Episode Script

Who Are You Calling a Jeannie?

[.]
And here, we have the Surveyor, which has already made a successful landing on the moon.
A very expensive model.
And the Lunar Orbiter spacecraft.
The Ranger A, which has made many pictures of the moon.
And here we have the Saturn V.
You see, the actual flying of the capsule is a very small part of the flight.
Now, in addition to flying the spacecraft, the astronaut must observe and report on scientific data that is being collected inside and outside of the capsule.
Now, if you'll just step this way, please.
Uh, this is our new testing chamber.
Dr.
Alfred Bellows will answer any questions you may have.
And I certainly hope you all have enjoy the tour.
Jeannie.
Jeannie, how many times have I told you not to come to NASA? Anybody could walk in here.
Oh, master, I'm having a terrible time.
I cannot make up my mind.
I am redecorating the living room.
Now, which do you think will look best? None of it.
This? What is this? This is not really the appropriate Or this one? Jeannie, what are you doing? Or this one? N [SIGHS.]
Do you think that would look nice in the living room? Wow! Now, Jeannie, get rid of these things, will you? I have one more to show you.
Now, really, I mean it.
I-I want them out of here.
Oh.
Oh, master! Oh, master, I am so sorry.
Oh, I'm all right, now get out of here Jea What happened? Jeannie? Jeannie? Speak to me.
What happened? Well, you knocked her out when you opened the door.
I did? Yes.
Oh.
Are you all right? Young lady.
Young lady.
Well, just don't sit there, call a doctor.
Dr.
Bellows, you are a doctor.
Of course I am.
Well, she's breathing.
But she has no pulse.
Yes Oh, she's coming around.
How do you feel? My professional advice would be not to answer any questions at all right now, my dear.
Are you her doctor? No, sir.
I'm her lawyer.
[.]
[.]
[.]
How do you feel? Oh, I am all right.
Don't say another word.
I want her examined by my personal physician.
If you don't mind, I'll examine her first.
No, nobody's gonna examine her.
What? Well, I mean she She feels all right.
Whiplash can fool you.
Whiplash? And concussion.
Concussion? But really, I am just fine.
Yeah, see, she's fine, sir.
See? Oh.
I want her taken to the hospital immediately.
Come on, Roger, can't you get anymore speed out of this thing? We gotta get to the hospital before Dr.
Bellows examines Jeannie.
I've got the accelerator on the floorboard now.
Will you relax? So Dr.
Bellows makes a few tests and takes a few x-rays.
I mean, what's the panic? Have you got any idea what the inside of a 2000-year-old genie might look like? Yeah, well, it probably looks like Well, you could see Let's hurry.
I'll hurry.
[.]
Excuse me.
I'm real sorry.
Roger.
Wait a minute.
Oh, go ahead, miss.
Okay.
Roger.
Pardon me, miss.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
Listen, I was looking for a girl Oh, I can't help you, sir, but the floor nurse will be back in just a moment.
Floor nurse.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
Oh, uh, we're looking for a young lady about this high with blond hair.
Her name, please.
Jeannie.
Is that her first name or her last name? Yes.
Yes, what? Um, Dr.
Bellows brought her in.
Oh, that young woman.
Yeah.
Poor thing.
What do you me? What's the matter with her? Her doctor will have to give you that information.
Well, give us a clue.
Is she all right or isn't she? We're not allowed to say.
Could you give us her room number? I'm sorry, she can't have any visitors.
Oh, I see.
[RINGS.]
Third floor.
[.]
You go that way.
Yeah.
[ELEVATOR DINGS.]
BELLOWS: Major Nelson.
Oh.
Yes, sir.
Oh, I was just about to call you to get over here.
We have reports to fill out.
How, when, where the accident happened.
Well, I was just on my way to see the young lady too.
Poor thing.
Poor thing? Well, you just don't run across these things very often.
Unless, of course, she's faking.
Doctor, what's the matter with her? I prefer not to say until I've seen the x-rays.
Oh, you've already taken the x-rays.
They'll be ready any minute.
I have the feeling that I've seen her somewhere before.
Uh, Major Healey.
What's her name? Uh, her name? Well, what's her name? What's her name? Oh, what's-her-name.
She was on the tour, wasn't she? Her name would be on the tour list.
I didn't see it there.
She just didn't pop out of the clear blue sky, right? Whatever you say.
I'm afraid that this Pool fellow is really trying to put one over on us.
Needless to say that Uh, yes.
Well, needless to say, the legal department of the Adjutant General's office isn't gonna look too kindly on the whole incident.
You don't have anything to worry about, sir.
I have a feeling that by this afternoon, she'll forget the whole thing.
I'm sure she will.
She's already forgotten everything else.
You mean, she's not talking.
It isn't a question of talking WOMAN [ON P.
A.
.]
: Dr.
Bellows wanted in X-ray.
Oh, the x-ray's ready.
Shall we go, gentlemen? Oh, of course, yes.
[.]
But that's impossible.
That's exactly what I said, sir, when I developed them.
But there they are.
Campbell, are you trying to tell me that the inside of that woman's head is a still photograph of your diploma? Either that, sir, or she's hollow.
In the head, sir.
Oh, really, Campbell? I expected a better excuse from you than that.
Well I think, perhaps There might be an explanation.
Maybe she saw the diploma, and maybe she has a photographic memory, and that's what you got the picture of.
[.]
We'll reschedule the x-rays.
All right, now, honey.
Once more.
What's your name? I do not know.
That's great, you're doing beautifully.
But I really do not know.
That's right, play it for all it's worth.
And, honey, it's worth a small fortune.
What is? I've had some good accident cases in my day, but this is the pièce de résistance.
One defenseless little girl against the entire space program.
Millions of dollars to go to the moon, but not a decent settlement for one lonely, injured little girl seeking her lost identity, here on Earth.
Honey, they'll be shoveling the money into us.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Oh, that'll probably be the press, I told them I'd make a statement.
Now, I'll see them out in the hall.
You're much too sick to have visitors.
[CHATTER IN HALLWAY.]
Oh, but, uh, if you could manage a grunt or a groan that can be heard outside, it wont hurt us.
Know what I mean, honey? Is America a democracy with a heart? Or is it a cruel, uncaring dictatorship.
Gentlemen, inside this room lies a victim of the space age.
A beautiful, young blond.
Ruthlessly struck down by a piece of equipment destined to go to the moon.
Did I hear someone refer to this lovely child as a Moon Maid? [BULBS CLICKING.]
[WHISPERS.]
Let's get out of here.
[WHISTLES QUIETLY.]
[.]
ROGER: No, no.
No.
No, no.
I'm not gonna do it.
I'm not gonna I don't even have a union card.
Listen, we gotta get Jeannie out of there before Dr.
Bellows takes more pictures of her head.
Yeah? What are you gonna find? It's transparent.
That's what I'm talking about.
What? Why don't we just go through the door like everybody else? Because Pool is in there, and you heard him talking to those reporters.
If he makes anymore speeches like he's been doing, he's not only gonna win a law case, he's gonna build a shrine to Jeannie.
And we're gonna be buried at the foot of it.
Now, come on.
Put this on.
The painters aren't gonna be back.
They'll be back in a few minutes.
Come on, that'll do it.
What do you need me for? Because it takes two to get that thing up in the air.
You work the ropes from that end, and I'll handle this side.
Okay? Go on.
When I say "now," ready? Yeah.
Now.
[PULLEYS SQUEAKING.]
[.]
Tony! Roger, don't panic.
Roger.
Aah.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on! Tony! [THUDS.]
Roger.
[.]
[PULLEYS SQUEAKING.]
Yeah, this is her room, let's go.
Wait a minute, w-what about my hair? Well, frankly, I think it's a bit flashy, but then again, it's all a matter of taste.
Would you? Ugh.
Sorry.
Shhh.
[CLATTERS.]
Shhh.
Jeannie.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Jeannie? It's all right, I'm here.
[SHRIEKS.]
[.]
[SCREAMING.]
Shhh.
Jeannie, will you? What's the matter with you? It's me.
And me.
We've gotta get you out of here.
I'll say, and we haven't got a moment to lose.
If Dr.
Bellows takes any more x-rays of you, we're in real trouble.
Where are your clothes? Where are your clothes, huh? I-I do not know.
Well, I'm sure you won't have any difficulty dreaming up something to wear.
D-dream up a little something to wear? Yeah, hurry up.
We got a scaffold waiting.
A scaffold? It's right outside the window.
[SCREAMS.]
Please, don't do that.
We What's gotten into you, Jeannie? Y-you called me Jeannie? Yeah, come on.
Let's get home, fast.
Home? I live with you? [CHUCKLES.]
Well, of course you do.
Oh, I'm so happy! Oh, I had no idea.
Well, I mean, I never thought that I would Oh, how long have we been married? Married, who said anything about being married? We're not married, and I live with you? What's the matter with that? What is the matter with that? What kind of a girl do you think I am? [SCOFFS.]
Come on, Jeannie, we know what kind of a girl you are.
Now, now, stop fooling around.
That is exactly what I intend to do.
Get out.
Jeannie, what's the matter? Get out, or I will scream.
Can't help We're going, we're going.
Bye.
Yeah.
Oh, before you go, do you mind telling me who I am? You don't know? You don't know who you are? No.
And who are you? You know who I am.
I'm loveable Roge.
No, she doesn't know who you are, loveable Roge.
She's got amnesia.
Amnesia? [STOMPS.]
Look, Jeannie.
We're here to To help you.
I'm your friend.
So I gathered.
Huh? Oh, no, no.
It's not what you're thinking.
Not at all.
You live with me, but you don't live with me.
Because you live in a bottle.
If you leave now, I promise not to tell them where to look for you.
[LAUGHING.]
No, you don't No, you don't understand.
You're a genie.
[LAUGHING.]
I know.
No, no.
I mean a genie, Jeannie.
And I live in a bottle.
Yeah.
And I'm your master.
Now it's clear, huh? Very.
[SCREAMING.]
Give us a chance to prove it.
Yeah.
You've got very powerful powers.
Yeah.
What kind of power? All you have to do is blink.
TONY: Yeah.
Try it.
Mm.
No, I do not think TONY: Try it.
Very well.
If it will keep you calm.
There.
Now will you go? No, no, no.
You don't understand.
When you blink, you have to think of something.
You have to concentrate.
I'm here to help you, Jeannie.
We're trying to rescue you.
Please try.
Rescue me.
That's right.
R-rescue me.
How did you do that? Hast anyone here seen King Arthur? I didn't do it, you did it.
I cannot believe my eyes.
BELLOWS: Neither can I.
Where did that knight in armor come from? What knight in armor, sir? Oh, that knight in armor.
Well, I just blinked, and it was there.
No, no.
We found out who she is.
You've heard of Houdini, the greatest male magician in the world? Well, this is Jeannie, the greatest female magician.
She uses this gentleman on the horse in the act.
That's probably where you saw her, on television.
No, it isn't.
I remember where I saw her before.
Wasn't she the girl who was with you when No, no.
I don't think, she wasn't with me then, sir.
Why don't you do your big disappearing act? Disappearing act? You know.
On Dr.
Bellows' house.
Oh, I do not think I could do Yeah, well, concentrate.
Dr.
Bellows' house.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, good, Jeannie.
Now he's back at his house, forgotten [SQUEAKING.]
Jeannie, I said house, not mouse.
Mouse? Mouse! [SCREAMING.]
[ALL SHOUTING.]
ROGER: I'll get him, I'll get him! Which way did he go? I don't know.
Somebody stop that mouse! Oh, I'm sorry.
Dr.
Bellows? Dr.
Bellows? I beg your pardon.
Huh? Oh, uh Have you seen a little white mouse? A mouse? Mm-hmm.
Don't worry, if I had, you would have hear me.
Clear to the other end of the base.
Have you seen Dr.
Bellows yet? No, no, she hasn't seen him.
Dr.
Bellows? I thought you said were looking for a mouse.
Yeah, well they kind of go together.
You see, Dr.
Bellows goes with the mouse, and the mouse goes with Dr.
Bellows.
[LAUGHING.]
Yeah.
Well, that's not exactly MAN: Off we go Wild blue yonder [SQUEAKING.]
Roger, do you think? I wouldn't dare.
Dr.
Breckenridge, hi.
Major Nelson.
Major Say, these little mice wouldn't be the ones that? Are going on that Mars probe at 1600 hours.
Yes, sir, we are going to Mars.
Aren't we, Dancer, Prancer, Dunder? That's funny, there are five of them.
I thought we only scheduled four.
Oh, well.
Off we go Wild blue yonder Off we go Wait! [.]
Well.
Look at you.
That's better, you look terrible.
I have found out who I am.
Shh! Not so loud.
First we get a nice, fat settlement of, say, a million dollars, then you find out who you are.
But I have already found out who I am.
I am Jeannie the Great.
You mean like Catherine the Great? I am a magician.
Now who told you that? The two men who came in that window.
Two? And then I blinked in a knight on a horse.
I'm not certain how I did that.
But it was a wonderful trick.
And then, I blinked them out again.
I'm gonna ask for $2 million.
It is wonderful.
All I do is think and blink.
Now, we'll get you the best psychiatric care in the world.
We'll send you to Vienna.
What is a Vienna? Sure.
Now, look, you just stay calm.
I'll get Dr.
Bellows.
Oh, I blinked him into a little white mouse.
Three million dollars.
Oh.
How is the patient? Terrible, doc.
Don't let anything happen to her, she's my first legitimate case.
Oh, it is you again? Don't Don't scream again.
Oh, I am not going to scream.
Jeannie, we need your help.
You've got to get Dr.
Bellows back.
Do you realize in an hour and 14 seconds, Dr.
Bellows is going to be on his way to Mars in a cage? You gotta bring him back.
But I do not know how to bring him back.
Yeah, well, of course you do.
After all, you're a genie.
Genie in a bottle.
Yeah, that's right.
You don't believe me.
No.
Jeannie, look, I don't have time to argue.
Just trust me.
Please.
[SIGHS.]
Very well.
What is it you wish me to do? All you have to do is think "Bellows" and blink.
Think "Bellows," blink.
Yeah, that's all.
Just think "Bellows" and blink.
You got the wrong bellows.
Well, I am sorry.
I am rather tired.
Perhaps if we try it again tomorrow.
No, Jeannie, we don't have time for that.
Please.
Just try once more.
I'll concentrate with you, okay? I'll form a picture in my mind, and you blink.
Roger! Well, I tried to think of Dr.
Bellows.
All right, let's try the word-association game.
Dr.
Bellows is on his way to Mars, and you wanna play games.
Roger, this might trigger her into remembering who she is.
Oh, I get it.
We name some people and some places, and we get her memory going.
Yeah, right.
Yeah? Well, where do we start? She's been around a long time.
That is a terrible thing to say.
He didn't mean anything by it, Jeannie.
Now, I'm gonna mention some names and see if it helps you remember, okay? Uh, Julius Caesar.
No.
Napoleon Bonaparte.
No.
Genghis Khan.
No.
Uh Millard Fillmore.
What? Well, he was the 13th president of the United States.
What's wrong with Millard Fillmore? Will you just drive? [.]
Uh Uh, Mark Antony.
No.
Cleopatra.
No.
Turn on the radio, they're broadcasting the launch.
Why don't we think of some places? MAN [OVER RADIO.]
: Fifteen minutes to countdown.
All systems to go.
Places, places.
Uh, Paris.
No.
Berlin.
Mm-mmm.
Madrid.
No.
How about Anaheim, Azusa and Cucamonga? Only five minutes more.
Ah, poor Dr.
Bellows.
We should have sent him some cheese.
Stop.
Stop the car.
Stop the car.
What? I am.
There's a telephone booth.
Pull over there, will you? Wait a minute.
Hold on.
Right here, will you? What are you doing? I'm gonna call the launch pad and have them stop the launch.
Oh.
Roger, give me a dime, will you? ROGER: All right, all right.
What are you doing? They're not gonna stop the launching.
Look, we don't have the time.
She is obviously not going to regain her memory.
Give me the dime.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, I got it.
She lost her memory when she was hit on the head.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, why, all we have to do is take this and maybe Give me the dime.
All right, I'll give you the dime, it was just a suggestion.
Ooh! Oh, God.
Jeannie, speak to me.
Are you all right, huh? Wha? What happened? Well, you got hit Master.
Oh, where are we? You're all right, you got your memory back.
I was showing you some statues, and then I got hit Roger.
Roger.
Oh, Major Healey! Oh, Major Healey.
Roger.
Roger, are you all right? Here, sit up.
Talk to me.
Say something.
Who are you? Oh.
Get Dr.
Bellows back.
Blink now.
Get him back.
Dr.
Bellows? What happened? What hap? You came to the testing chamber, and you were trying to show I can't go into it, Jeannie.
Just blink him back.
MAN [OVER RADIO.]
: And there it goes.
It's a beautiful launch.
It's going way up.
And it's up in the blue, and it looks like a perfect shot.
MAN [ON TV.]
: And as the Mars probe launch was a success this afternoon, so was the strange sea rescue out in the Pacific today.
Although the explanation is still forthcoming, Dr.
Alfred Bellows of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was plucked safely from somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean today.
How did he get there? Nobody seems to know.
Not even Dr.
Bellows, who is still in somewhat of a state of shock.
However, he is expected to recover quickly and perhaps the mystery will be cleared up then.
You're sure you're all right, Roge? Oh, you mean the? You mean the loss of memory? Well, that was just a temporary thing.
Well, Dr.
Bellows is all right, and you're all right, so Yeah, well, I'm a little tired.
Why don't you go on home? Oh, okay, sure.
Well, goodbye, Major Healey.
I'm very sorry that I caused you so much trouble.
That's all right, Jeannie.
Thanks for everything.
Bye.
I'll see you, Roge.
Uh, you don't want us to order dinner? No thanks.
[YAWNS.]
Bye-bye.
[.]
Major Healey.
My name is Pool.
I'm sure you remember.
I've been going over your case.
And I see here an opportunity for us Uh, for me, for us, to make a great deal of money.
Could you hold that? If you just give me your signature, then I will have you [.]
