Transcript

Family Theater presents Anne Blythe and Jack Haley. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theater presents the Acid Test, starring Anne Blythe. And now here is your host, Jack Haley.

Thank you Tony Lefrano. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives. If we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world, family theatre urges you to pray. Pray together as a family.

And now to our transcribed drama, The Acid Test, starring Anne Blythe as Mary. How do you feel now, Mr. Jones? It's kinda cold in here. You see any colors?

Oh, yeah, wonderful colors. Fluttin' in an ocean of all different colors. Tell me how you feel about these colors. Do you like them? Oh, yeah. Are you happy? I'm so happy. I think I'm going to bust.

Well, what is it that makes you so happy? Is it the colors? Yes. No, no. I don't know what it is. Soon that will pass and you'll probably be angry. Angry? Oh, no. Not me. Never angry.

Are you still cold? Warmest toast. If you're too warm, you can take your coat off. Not wearing a coat. Are you sure? If I'm not wearing a body, how could I be wearing a coat?

What a dumb question. Man, oh man, what a dumb question. Are you still seeing colors? Colors? Who wants to know? This is Dr. Stoner. Dr. Meathead, it should be. Man, what a dumb question. I don't like you much. You know that.

Why don't you like me? Can you tell me that? Because you're a goof is one reason. And for another... You're witnessing an experiment and a new kind of research. The young man asking the questions is a doctor.
