Forbidden Planet (1956) Soundboard Edit

About a million years from now the human race will have crawled up to where the krell stood in their great moment of triumph and tragedy

Activate main batteries

Activate main view plate

Activate the disposal unit

Adjust your equipment accordingly that is all

After a million years of shining sanity they could hardly have understood what power was destroying them

Afterwards I lay unconscious for a day and a night

Aladdin's lamp in a physics laboratory

Alarm for test

All clear sir

All right

All right good

All right now turn around here

All right put it back on

All right quinn turn it on

All right so it's impossible how long will it take

All right take it away

All right we'll wait

All right we're down to 0 3896 of light speed

All right you can look now

Almost at once there followed the discovery of hyperdrive through which the speed of light was first attained and later greatly surpassed

An expert in words and languages their origins and meanings

And 400 other shafts like this one

And do forgive the ill manners of an old recluse won't you come in

And even in you the loving father there still exists the mindless primitive more enraged and more inflamed with each new frustration

And I have believe me no wish to repeat that experience

And I have come to the unalterable conclusion that man is unfit as yet to receive such knowledge such almost limitless power

And I hope I don't see him again if I live to be 400 million

And if you don't do something about it soon morbius it's going to be coming right through that door

And in this I shall be answerable exclusively to my own conscience and judgment

And just how do you account for your immunity dr morbius

And then i'll put more guards on the guards

And then when I activate the educator here it registers a little more

And there's your answer

And until further notice all hands will wear side arms

And what is it you require this time miss alta

And when in the course of eons they had abolished sickness and insanity and crime and all injustice they turned still with high benevolence outward toward space

And yet always in my mind I seem to feel the creature is lurking somewhere close at hand sly and irresistible and only waiting to be reinvoked for murder

And yet in all these 19 years you personally have never again been bothered by this planetary force

And yet you came back for a second go at it

And you can depend on it lieutenant that those privileges won't be stretched into taking your kind of advantages

And you can't explain it no

Another one of them new worlds no beer no women no pool parlors nothing

As you can see we're under no restraint whatsoever

As you recollect from your briefing lectures this is an earth type planet

Ashes to ashes dust to dust

Astrogator to crew stand by to change flux

At least when our ship was approaching from space you remembered enough to warn us off

At the head of the arroyo

Attention captain to crew attention

Attention captain to crew now hear this

Attention captain to crew stand by to reverse polarity

Automatic control

Aye aye sir

Aye aye sir (7)

Aye aye sir (8)

Aye aye sir (9)

Aye aye sir yes yes sir

Aye aye skipper

Aye aye skipper (2)

Aye sir

Aye sir (2)

Aye sir (3)

Aye sir (4)

Besides why did that robot argue me into drinking all that whiskey in the first place

Better check the command mike the command mike sir

Big as a house sir

Boost it

Bosun

Bosun (2)

Bosun (3)

Bosun (4)

Bosun (5)

Bosun (6)

Bosun flash the alert

But nowadays I have no time for such things

But of course you must stay for lunch gentlemen

But the krell forgot one thing

But the second that fence stats to short again you lift off and report back to earth base on conditions in this sector

But then seemingly on the threshold of some supreme accomplishment which was to have crowned their entire history this all but divine race perished in a single night

But then when you thought we were threatening your little egomaniac empire your subconscious sent its id monster out again

But there is no direct wiring that I can discover

But there is sir

But this much is negligible

But what's it all for

Cancel

Check good

Check the whole system first thing in the morning

Chief

Chief we'll drop below light speed in about three minutes got your breakable gear stowed

Child's play

Circumstances

Coffee is ready sir

Colloquial english will do fine thank you

Combat stations blaster men activate your scopes

Commander

Commander commander

Commander if you set down on this planet I warn you that I cannot be answerable for the safety of your ship or your crew

Commander may I borrow that formidable looking side arm of yours

Common lead would have crushed the vehicle sir

Consciously it still lacked the power to operate the great machine but your subconscious had been made strong enough

Could robby be wrong no never

Could this end one get you some coffee

Creation by mere thought

Cut me in quinn

Do you understand the mechanism

Do your best to wait it out for me and the doctor

Doc an invisible being that cannot be disintegrated by atomic fission

Doc doc doc

Doc he's up to something

Doc I don't understand

Doc oh doc doc

Doc something new has been added

Doc will you talk some sense to this girl i'm in over my head

Doctor do you mean that you made this gentleman

Dr morbius

Dr morbius I require landing coordinates

Dr morbius in the absence of special instructions you leave me in a very awkward position i

Dr morbius just what were the symptoms of all those other deaths the unnatural ones I mean

Dr morbius my orders are to survey the situation on altair 4

Drunk sir me sir

Each division recording exactly 10 times as many amperes as the one preceding it

Earth i

Easy with this core our m g coils won't take us home without it

Edward morbius yeah here it is morbius e ph d lit d expedition philologist

Fasten your seat belts gentlemen

Father

Father (2)

Father he's dead

Father oh father

Father!

Feel sorry for your daughter morbius

Felt something go right through my head

Fifteen seconds

Fine technician a good shipmate

For the past two hours i've been expecting you to make exactly that asinine statement

For your convenience I am monitored to respond to the name robby

Forgive me I didn't mean to alarm you gentlemen

Four hundred and eighty pints as you requested total 60 gallons

Four pints of 120 proof bourbon without a trace of hangover now that ain't natural sir

Friends

Funny to see two moons in the sky isn't it funny how quick a guy gets used to it yeah

Gallons

Gentlemen

Gentlemen let me show you another bit of parlor magic

Gentlemen would you care to see some more of the krell wonders

Genuine kansas city bourbon! it's smooth too

Grey strong set up a crossfire on those rocks

Guilty guilty

Half a minute skipper

Half flux half flux

Half of this gear we can replace out of stores the rest we can patch up one way or another except this special klystron frequency modulator

Handle it gently it has to get us home

Hasn't come out

Hasn't he got a built in rule against wringing our little necks for us

Have you tested it yet bosun

He did tell me not to go near the ship after all this isn't very near

He's as tame as a kitten outside of the range of my daughter's influence it's still a deadly wild beast

Hold the tractor

Honey let's do this thing right now here

How could he have slipped past two sentries

How could we have foreseen the extinction of so many coworkers and friends

How do I make an image do I just pull this switch here

How do these continents check with the old charts

How do you do

How do you know that

How else would you have led it here where alta must see you torn to pieces

I am monitored to admit no one at this hour

I began to learn

I begged you not to land on this planet

I call it their plastic educator

I can see that was probably very clever but I don't seem to understand it

I could hear the roar and bellow

I dare say neither of us slept any last night

I don't know I don't know really it it was awful

I don't know I guess there's something about me personally you don't like

I don't know it was just some kind of big outline in the disintegrator beams

I don't know there must be something seriously the matter with me because honestly I haven't noticed the least bit of stimulation

I don't know what you're lying about but you better get back before the skipper checks in or we'll both be skinned

I just had a terrible dream there was blood and fire and thunder and something awful was moving in the middle of it

I mean well I thought it might brighten the boys' mess a little bit you know if I could find a few wild radishes or something

I of course appreciate your concern but absolutely no assistance of any sort is required

I often feel it myself

I often play with it myself for relaxation

I rarely use it myself sir it promotes rust

I remember how when the vote was taken to return to earth she and I were utterly heartbroken

I see that explains the tiger and the deer

I should say fairly soon too

I still have some work to do in my study

I suggest you consider it in comparison to one of our functionally designed human doorways

I wasn't

I will place him in the tractor sir

I will run the dress up for you in time for breakfast

I won't hear you

I wouldn't mind being robby in certain ways that's only in certain ways of course

I'd be only too happy to show you

I'd say it sounded like an ultimatum

I'll bet any quantum mechanic in the service would give his life for a chance to fool around with this gadget

I'll bring the tractor in a hurry

I'll have less dreaming aboard this ship

I'm i'm sorry alta I i had to do that

I'm so glad you don't have any fire in your eyes lieutenant

I'm sorry if i've leaned on you you've got to understand

I'm sorry sir if we're not welcome but we do have our orders

I'm sure you never said a word about not coming in for coffee

I'm very sorry

I've always so terribly wanted to meet a young man and now three at once

I've come here every day now for two decades painfully picking up a few of the least difficult fragments of their knowledge

I've explained to them that you have my permission to visit earth whenever you choose

If you do not speak english I am at your disposal with 187 other languages along with their various dialects and sub tongues

In my case sir the question is totally without meaning

In the final decade of the 21st century men and women in rocket ships landed on the moon

In times long past this planet was the home of a mighty and noble race of beings which called themselves the krell

Indeed yes

Is he still in there

Is that all there is to it

Is that it

Is that what you made out of that footprint

Is there any other way out of there

It came packed in liquid boron in a suspended gravity

It's all right he's my friend

It's all right sir a commanding officer doesn't need brains just a good loud voice huh

It's coming on again

It's listening

It's no use he knows it's your other self

It's nothing really personal it's just a kiss

It's right back there in the desert

It's started again

It's still coming

It's strange how that fence just shorted out yeah

It's true it will remind us that we are after all not god

Just sit down there and i'll

Just to construct a bunker to house a core would take about 10 days

Kill the power on the fence

Knock that off quinn

Know I seem to visualize it I if you wish call it a premonition

Krell metal

Last night our klystron monitor was sabotaged

Later he can reproduce identical molecules in any shape or quantity

Let him be buried with the other victims of human greed and folly

Let me go

Let me repeat i'm in no sort of difficulty here

Look

Look doc in case we make it into that lab i'll take the first go at the iq booster

Look doc you stay right there where you are and keep your eye on that door

Look never mind the sir mister but i'm a stranger on this so called planet

Look out there commander the belerephon party

Looks after us like a mother

Looks like we're being met

May I draw your attention to these gauges all around here gentlemen

Maybe if we reasoned with him

Maybe it leaves us with the same one

Morbius morbius

Morbius operated by the electromagnetic impulses of individual krell brains

Morbius that thing out there it's you

Morbius the big machine 8000 cubic miles of klystron relays

Morbius what is the id

Morbius you wanted me to make a choice now you've chosen for me

More deaths morbius more murder

Move a little forward that's it there now

Moving this way sir slowly

My beams are focused on your blasters gentlemen

My darling i'm completely helpless as long as he remains here so willfully

My evil self is at that door and I have no power to stop it

Never to be disturbed while that door is closed

No doctor not even though I were the mad scientist of the tape thrillers

No I don't

No it just went away for some reason it'll be back

No lights showing

No me too sir will stand 20 extra watches

No no no no watch

No problem

No record of their physical nature has survived except perhaps in the form of this characteristic arch

No survival suits will be required upon landing

No trouble at all

Not me not us

Not quite realizing it of course except maybe in your dreams

Not so far sir

Nothing

Nothing important skipper

Nothing less

Nothing shows through does it

Nothing to do but throw rocks at cans and we gotta bring our own tin cans

Now alta listen you mustn't

Now be sure and look only in the mirror man does not behold the face of the gorgon and live

Now doctor you can read it here

Now then for the primary function actually to operate

Now with every facility of the ship I think I might be able to rebuild it but frankly the book says no

Now you can see that this headset was designed for something much bulkier than my human cranium

Obliging

Of course a transmitter of that sort isn't exactly standard equipment

Of course that's that's mostly on the theoretical side well so far

Of course that's what doc meant

Of course the two end ones are unbelievable

Of course you must make allowances for my daughter gentlemen she's never known any human being except her father

Oh but i

Oh darling darling please go

Oh dear what does he do

Oh i'm i'm very sorry about the way I spoke to you yesterday alta I i was sort of bothered

Oh me too sir

Oh murder

Oh no

Oh no no robby it must be the loveliest softest thing you've ever made for me and fit in all the right places with lots and lots of star sapphires

Oh not at all

Oh sure sure

Oh that's gonna complicate things a bit yeah

Oh the red carpet treatment huh

Oh yeah good idea

One by one in spite of every safeguard my coworkers were torn literally limb from limb by what by some devilish thing that never showed itself

One which they actually seemed to hope might somehow free them once and for all from any dependence on physical instrumentalities

Only in nightmares of those times

Only my wife and I were immune

Operated by remote control

Operating right now sir

Order canceled

Others but there are no others commander

Otherwise my researches here would've come to nothing poor as they have been

Our belerephon skipper tried it and it was instantly fatal to him

Please please if you love me go

Plus absolute selfless obedience

Point it at the commander aim right between the eyes

Precisely doctor

Prepare your minds for a new scale of physical scientific values gentlemen

Primarily a ground animal too

Psst come here over here

Put your arm in there

Quiet

Quiet please I am analyzing

Quinn murdered

Quinn this is farman

Right

Right away sir

Right skipper

Right the busier the better

Robby emergency cancellation archimedes

Robby I ain't never gonna forget this

Robby I must have a new dress right away again oh but this one must be different absolutely nothing must show below above or through radiation proof no just eye proof will do

Robby let them in

Robby point this thing at that althaea frutex out there on the terrace

Say it's a lie let it hear you out there tell it you don't love this man

Section 86a evacuate all civilians from disaster area

Sir

Sir (2)

Sir the burial detail is ready

Sir we're being radar scanned

Skipper

Skipper the blasted thing's invisible

Skipper the chief's been murdered

Skipper there is no record of any wife in the belerephon rolls

Sleep well miss

So for pete's sake go home and put on something that'll anything

So now we just pick up the girl and her father whether they like it or not

So you took the brain boost huh

Some dark terrible incomprehensible force

Son turn that disc

Sorry miss I was giving myself an oil job

Stop looking at me that way I don't think I like it

Stop no further I deny you I give you up

Straight across

Strong and grey last night during your watch this ship was entered and valuable government property was sabotaged

Such portions of the krell science as I may from time to time deem suitable and safe I shall dispense to earth other portions I shall withhold

Sugar

Suppose we start with the good doctor

Sure no interference there

Talk doc

Tell me just what is involved in your making contact with earth base

Thank you (4)

That is all

That is correct sir

That is true sir

That machine is going to supply your monster with whatever amount of power it requires to reach us

That recording was made by krell musicians a half a million years ago

That's a pretty close guess

That's a very good question

That's altair 4 the bright speck below the star

That's altaira

The heights they had reached

The id what's that

The krell furnaces chain reaction they cannot be reversed

The krell had completed their project

The last krell died 2000 centuries ago but today as we all know there is still at large on this planet a living monster

The lord sure makes some beautiful worlds

The m a alert is completed

The molecules are many times more densely interlocked than in earthly steel

The number 10 raised almost literally to the power of infinity

The rest of us were all outside on guard duty i

The robot lied

Then it must be true yes I must be guilty

Then my little girl never feels lonely or confined

Then the time has come for clarification sit down

Then we'll take him by force I can't agree to that either

Then why don't you kiss me like everybody else does

Then you must leave now

There it comes

There now gentlemen

There you are sir

There's altair right on the nose skipper

There's nothing out there

These gentlemen have expressed a very kindly concern over the amount of liberty you have

This

This is one of their ventilator shafts you can feel the warm air rising

This is the only door

This spot should be molten it's not even warm huh

To build one we'd have to cannibalize about two thirds of the ship's electronic gear and then unship the main drive to juice it

To tell the truth I sometimes still miss the conversation of such gentlemen as yourself doctor

To what purpose

Track this if I blink red

Tractor's ready sir

Tremendously strong of course he could quite easily topple this house off its foundation

Try your blaster there commander

Uh I didn't come by him doctor I tinkered him together during my first months up here

Uh sometimes the gauges register a little when the buck deer fight in autumn or when the birds fly over in the spring

Uh this is commander adams dr ostrow and lieutenant farman

Uh yes perhaps you better call them my dear

United planets cruiser c 57d j j adams commanding

United planets cruiser c 57d now more than a year out from earth base on a special mission to the planetary system of the great main sequence star altair

Vaporized as the three remaining survivors tried to take her off

Very good

Very well but I wash my hands of all responsibility

Wanna bounce through this one

We were just trying to get a little healthy stimulation from hugging and kissing that's all

Well anyway we fought it and we lost I figure it'll be back

Well ask dr ostrow sir

Well certainly sir

Well did you or did you

Well don't worry you're not gonna have to look at me anymore from now on

Well don't you understand alta no

Well fundamentally it's a question of crude power

Well gentlemen if I can be of any help to you in your preparations for the homeward voyage

Well gentlemen this has been very pleasant

Well he says i'm terribly ignorant but I have had poetry mathematics logic physics geology and bi ology

Well it so happens that i'm in command of 18 competitively selected super perfect physical specimens with an average age of 24 6 who have been locked up in hyperspace for 378 days

Well look at yourself you see you can't run around like that in front of men particularly not a space wolf like farman

Well men whatever it was our main battery stopped it

Well naturally not you're from earth

Well notice this structure here characteristic of a four footed animal

Well thank you for your courtesy and concern sir

Well thank you very much lieutenant

Well that is I am anyway

Well that sounded final

Well there's something wrong here I have an iq of 161 yet I don't register a third what you did

Well you you've sort of got to stick with it

What

What (2)

What about

What about the commander

What about the magnetic puller

What already

What an astrogator

What chief

What do I do

What do you make of that skipper

What do you mean

What do you mean (2)

What do you mean ha ha

What's a bathing suit

What's that what's happening there

What's the matter

What's the matter with him why did he leave

What's this

What's up

What's up somebody coming this way

Which by krell standards classifies me as a low grade moron

Who

Why are you here

Why did you both act so funny

Why did you jumble that combination

Why haven't I seen this all along

Why I don't know I have you and robby and all my friends

Why it's a housewife's dream

Why it's fantastic

Why the total potential here must be nothing less than astronomical

Why you low living contraption I ought to take a can opener to you

Yes relatively simple alcohol molecules with traces of fusel oil

Yes sir

Yes sir (2)

Yes sir (3)

Yes sir and I borrowed some solenoids from your gyrostabilizers too

Yes sir the moment we've interviewed the other members of the belerephon party

Yes sir they're in hand but they're trigger happy

Yes sir yes sir thank you

Yes very much

Yes what

Yes yes I can see it now there just then when he looked at me why his eyes almost had fire in them

Yet this robot of yours is beyond the combined resources of all earth's physical science

You believe that

You can assemble a tractor

You have standard charts

You hear me I hear you

You just wait right there it'll only take me a second to get dry

You left out two very important words where feasible

You may be disappointed commander

You may come in at 83 17 4 north 148 21 west

You men will continue watching on your own immediate fronts that is all

You ought to see my new mind up there in lights bigger than his now

You see he's helpless locked in a sub electronic dilemma between my direct orders and his basic inhibitions against harming rational beings

You were with the robot last night yes sir him and me we kind of got to toasting each other's good health just for cordial interplanetary relations you understand
