The War of the Worlds (1953) Soundboard Edit

A big family must be fun I imagine it makes you feel you belong to something oh it does maybe that's why I feel kind of lost right now

A great silence fell over half of europe as all communication was disrupted

A mob attacked us we don't know what happened to the rest

A plane will pinpoint the target for the drop from six miles up

A stream of flight rose swiftly to a torrent

A strong light shocks them they're not accustomed to it

According to information from foreign sources they're working to some kind of a plan

After all that men could do had failed the martians were destroyed and humanity was saved by the littlest things which god in his wisdom had put upon this earth

After it stopped all that loose earth and stuff shook down over it

All about it!

All about the martian invasion! they're in new york and miama!

All command posts stand by to fire

All I know is they say it's as big as a house and practically red hot

All major highways have been marked to lead you to shelter and welfare centers in the hills

All over the world their machines began to stop and fall

All radio is dead

All right come over here and give us a hand!

All right fellas the general will see you now

All right folks let me through let me through

All right i've seen enough

All right on the double get me back to sixth army headquarters hurry up!

All that sand will keep the heat in for a long time

All we've seen is the heat ray they use

Allemande left and the ladies star gents walk around but not too far

Allemande left and the ladies star gents walk around but not too far (2)

Almighty and most merciful father we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep

Almost cold now ain't it

Amen

And I will dwell in the house of the lord forever

And now fought with the terrible weapons of super science menacing all mankind and every creature on earth comes the war of the worlds

And there it comes again!

And this the blood of a martian

And we have done those things which we ought not to have done

And where are we southwest of corona somewhere

And you want to know what I was thinking

Any candles around

Any news from abroad

Anybody get a look at the martians yet

Anyone have a flashlight

Anything from them yet

Apparently they're coming down all over

Are they sure it's a meteor it didn't come down like one

Are you all right

As martians swept northward toward london the british cabinet stayed in session coordinating every item of information that could be gathered passing it on to the united nations in new york

As more of their cylinders came from the mysterious depths of space their war machines awesome in their power and complexity created a wave of fear which swept into all corners of the world

As the martians burnt fields and forests and great cities fell before them huge populations were driven from their homes

Ask him he's back at pacific tech

At least that's what I think I don't really know

At night temperatures drop far below zero even at its equator

Attention all batteries prepare for volley fire repeat prepare for volley fire

Attention please four minutes to bomb time

Attention please two minutes to bomb time prepare to take shelter

Attention stand by

Azimuth reading 160 degrees 30 minutes

Be careful buck yeah watch it buck easy buck man

Beings from another world

Better than a lion farm or a snake pit we won't have to feed it

Big i'll bet it's as big as anything that ever lit in california

Bilderbeck has calculated how long we have got until martians take over the entire world

Bilderbeck!

Blood

Boy is that something! let's go see!

Boy that had me scared

Boy that's big!

Boy you could fry eggs on that thing!

Brazil checking

Bring that hose over here

But colonel shooting's no good it's always been a good persuader

But I think I know where she'll be

But i'm happy to meet you anyway

But it's a whale of a size

But its temperature is close to 270 degrees below zero and ice lies 15000 miles deep on its surface

But the ranger said a scientist is coming from pacific tech

But there are observers down in the valley in a forward bunker

But they seem to murder everything that moves

But you'll get first crack at them

But you're not going to you're not the kind

Call victorville tell them I want the fastest plane they've got

Can't get near enough to see it very well it's too hot

Can't we get out of here

Can't you fools

Carbon canyon

Checking dover blanked out

Clayton forrester ever hear of him

Clear the way

Colonel heffner's in charge

Come on

Come on break it up

Come on come on it's your last chance to get out of here

Come on come on keep going keep going keep moving

Come on jump in will you

Come on out we're friends that's right we welcome you we're friends yeah

Company tactical net out of action

Cut across their lines of magnetic force and any object will simply cease to exist

Cylinder reported down by huntington beach

D o to number three come in

Darnedest thing I ever saw the way that's unscrewing

Deliver us from the fear which has come upon us from the evil that grows ever nearer from the terror that soon will knock upon the very door of this thy house

Did it do you any good

Did that mob grab the trucks ahead of me

Did you see it come down yes I was fishing up in the hills

Did you watch it come down I seen it from our window

Direct cable communication is being maintained with washington but there's no radio at all

Do you have a pin

Do you have a pocket compass yeah

Do you see anything outside

Don't fool around with something when you don't know what it is

Don't go son stay with us

Don't you live at home no on the campus

Dr forrester believes they generate atomic force without the heavy screening we use

Dr forrester get out of here!

Dr forrester says they're some kind of advanced civilization

Duprey bilderbeck are you

Eighty west by 38 north

Electronic eye like a television camera it's looking for us

Every effort against the tremendous power of their other world antagonists ended in the same frantic rout

Everybody listen carefully the martians are coming this way we must evacuate the city take food and water and extra clothing with you

Everybody out of here! everybody

Everybody out of here! everybody out!

Everybody understands when you wave the white flag you want to be friends

Everything human doesn't have to look like you and me

Everywhere all around the world people have been driven from their homes

Evidently there's a shift in their spectrum

Excuse me

Excuse me gentlemen

Feels pretty darn hot!

Fifteen seconds

Fifty seconds

Fighting outside los angeles!

Finally found an abandoned truck

Fire!

First and third you balance and swing promenade the outside ring

First thing you get there arrange for the pacific tech scientists to monitor the drop

Flying wing this is the tower clear for take off over

Forlorn hope but there is a chance

Forrester everybody's been looking for you

Forrester!

Forrester's the man behind the new atomic engines

Forty eight north two west

Forty seconds

From there the news was forwarded to washington because here was the only remaining unassailed strategic point

From what's coming through nobody's stopped them yet

Future history he said yes if any

I can fly bilderbeck down in your plane

I couldn't see much in the dark but it was one

I didn't know how to stop you

I don't know any more than you do joe

I don't know anything about other trucks

I don't remember ever seeing blood crystals as anemic as these

I don't understand why a meteor that size didn't make a bigger crater

I feel like I did one time when I was small awful scared and lonesome

I got a message for you

I guess most of it's buried

I have no close folks my parents died when I was a kid

I haven't any family I come from a big one there's nine of us all in minnesota except me

I haven't seen you since oak ridge

I I got I got knocked under our truck duprey pulled me out

I just came to tell you everyone has been alerted

I know we've walked halfway from corona

I know you sent word to the sixth army command

I launched high level bombers dropped everything they can carry

I liked him

I read someplace mars is near the earth right now

I stayed right by that door praying for the one who loved me best to come and find me

I suppose they've neutralized all communications here not all sir radio's out but our field phones are okay so far

I teach library science over at usc

I think i'll wait around until it cools off

I think somebody ought to check on it over

I think that gizmo is a machine from another planet

I think they're scientists

I think we should put up a few picnic tables no no then they'd bring their own lunches

I think we should try to make them understand we mean them no harm

I thought you might be interested

I want to know if the city must be evacuated

I want your battery here
