The trouble was, his ideas - wouldn't pass the censors--here or anyplace else! - - [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from - Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy - June 1954 - Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that - the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.] - - -David Fry was a realist. And also slightly crazy. Maybe that helped in -this buggy business but David Fry overdid it. "I want her nude," he -screamed. "Naked." - -"Impossible," I informed him as calmly as I could. - -"Naked," he bellowed. - -"The Breen office won't allow it and you know it." - -"I defy them. Those radicals! It'll be my most realistic picture. A -milestone in film making." - -"It won't get the seal of approval." - -"So what? I don't need it." - -"Every state will ban it." - -"Nevada won't ban it." - -"Besides, you couldn't get Harriet Desmond to strut around in the raw." - -"Oh, no?" - -"No." - -"Her option comes up in three months." - -"So what? You're a director. You have nothing to do with it. That's -Dwight Howard's department. Look, David, I'll have her in a slip or a -bathing suit." - -"Ronnie," he said, shaking his head. "I like you. You're a writer but -I like you anyway. I feel that the audience will get the proper impact -only if she's naked." - -"It'll be an impact all right." - -"You write the script the way I tell you. I don't want to argue -anymore. I like you, Ronnie." - -"If you want a sexy script I'll make it sexy without being lewd." - -"Sexy? Don't be vulgar. I want a down to earth picture like the French -and Italians make. I want to surpass them with my realism." - -"David, what good would it do if I did write the scenario your way? -The scene would never be shot." - -"Enough," he screamed. He clutched his chest. "I feel an attack coming -on. Leave me. Get out." - - * * * * * - -Dwight Howard was chief production man at Silver Studios. He listened -gravely as I spilled my heart out to him. - -"He's a great director," Dwight Howard said. He was a large man with -tiny ears, liquid blue eyes, and the cigars he smoked cost a buck a -stogie. - -"Sure," I said. "A great goofy director. He's nuts just like all -directors." - -He grinned at me. "Directors believe all writers are crazy and writers -believe all directors are crazy." - -"You want me to write the script his way? You want that scene shot with -Harriet Desmond nude?" - -"No, no. Of course not. The whole idea is too ridiculous for words." He -sighed. "I'll have a talk with him." - -David Fry resigned the following day. Tortured and abused actors and -actresses celebrated for three days and three nights. Dwight Howard -didn't have to accept the resignation as Fry was bound to Silver -Studios by an iron clad contract. But a director's work gets sloppy if -his heart isn't in it. So out went David Fry, the realist. - -Nobody in Hollywood heard from Fry in seven months. And nobody seemed -to care. - -One night, as I came home from a party, I was greeted by the screaming -of the telephone. I held the receiver to my ear. "Maternity hospital," -I said. - -"Ronnie." It was David Fry. - -"Oh. Hello. How's everything?" - -"Fine. Great. I've got to see you." - -"Well...." - -"I'll hop right over." - -He hung up and I sighed. I built myself a solid drink and got -comfortable. - -He showed up twenty minutes later. He was thinner, more nervous than -before. - -He flopped on a divan. "You wouldn't believe it," he said. - -"Believe what?" - -"I want to do a picture. A science picture about a trip to Mars." - -"It's been done. And more than once." - -"With real Martians?" - -I blinked. "I'll get you a drink." - -"No. I want a clear head. Hear me out. I've met them." - -"Who?" - -"Martians. A whole gang of them. Real honest to goodness Martians. It's -fantastic. But it's true. They landed in the San Fernando Valley." - -"That figures." - -"I've got my home there. They asked for directions to Hollywood. You -know what? They came to revolutionize the industry." - -"Maybe they're Commies?" - -"You should see their equipment. Fantastic. I talked them into staying -over at my place. They dismantled their ship and have it stored away. I -want you to do the screen play. It'll be great." - -"They... er... weren't detected flying over?" - -"They use an anti-radar beam." - -"Oh." - -"They can speak every language under the sun." - -"Look, David. I'm tired and I want to go to bed. So be nice and go -sober up." - -"You don't believe me?" - -"No. In plain language, no." - -He extracted a square shaped box from a pocket. "See this gadget? I can -make myself disappear." - -"Do that." - -And he did. - -"Yow!" I screamed. - -He reappeared. - -I staggered to the liquor cabinet and made myself a double triple -whiskey and soda. - -"Well?" There was a look of triumph on his face. - -"They give you that?" - -"A present." - -"I've got nothing doing for a week. I'll be there tomorrow morning." - -"No. Tonight. You're liable to blab about it." - -"Don't you trust me?" - -"No. I know you went to see Dwight Howard about me." - -"Then why do you want me to write the story?" - -"I feel you owe me that. You're honest in some ways. Well?" - -"Right. I'll pack a grip if I'm staying over." - -"Do that. I've got my car downstairs." - - * * * * * - -David Fry's home was a Spanish-style ranch which consisted of a herd of -cattle and horses. - -The Martians looked like us except they had no necks and no finger or -toe nails. Their leader was a giant of a Martian with the name, Dooma. -They wore slacks and sport jackets which Fry had bought for them. They -seemed pleasant enough. - -I got some sleep and woke that afternoon. Dooma, Fry, and myself sat in -the front room and talked over the story we were to do. - -"We can't trust anyone," Fry said, "so you and I will play the -earthlings in it. We'll land on Mars and discover life on the planet. -Dooma and his crew will play the Martians. Real type casting." - -"What about sets?" I asked. - -"Plenty of background on Mars," Dooma said. - -"What?" I exploded. - -"Sure," Fry said. "We'll go to Mars and shoot most of the picture -there. Has anyone ever done that before?" - -"Sure," Dooma said. - -"I mean anyone on earth," Fry said. - -"I don't like it," I said. - -"We'll bring you back," Dooma said. - -"I still don't like it." - -"And we'll do that nude scene," Fry said. "We'll have a couple of -Martian girls taking a bath nude." - -"Oh, no," Dooma said. "That's out." - -"But why?" Fry wanted to know. - -"The Martian Censors. They won't go for it." - -I grinned. "There too?" - -"But I want to film life in the raw," Fry said. - -Dooma shook his head. "Out of the question." - -"We'll do it my way," Fry snarled, "or we won't do it at all." - -Dooma stood up. "Well if that's the way you feel about--" - -"Now wait a minute," I said. "Hold on. David, we've got a great thing -here. Don't mess it up." - -"I'm the director," Fry screamed. "Nobody is going to tell me my -business." - -"Is everybody in Hollywood like him?" Dooma asked me. - -"Some of them are worse." - -"I realize we made a grave mistake." - -"I made the mistake of taking you into my home," Fry shouted. "I -treated you like human beings. And this is the thanks I get." - -"I won't hear another word." Dooma turned and marched out. - -"Now see what you've done?" I was as mad as a wet hen. - -"What have I done? All I wanted to do was make a great picture." - -"You insulted him. Why, he's liable to go back to Mars and talk them -into invading us." - -"That idiot. What does he know about making pictures?" - -Activity brought me to the window. I looked out and saw the Martians -putting their ship together. - -Fry came up behind me. - -The ship blasted off and the Martians went back home. - -"They were hammy actors anyway," Fry rationalized. - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE SCANDALIZED MARTIANS *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

The trouble was, his ideas<br /> -wouldn't pass the censors—here or anyplace else!</p> - -<p>[Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from<br /> -Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy<br /> -June 1954<br /> -Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that<br /> -the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.]</p> - -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p>David Fry was a realist. And also slightly crazy. Maybe that helped in -this buggy business but David Fry overdid it. "I want her nude," he -screamed. "Naked."</p> - -<p>"Impossible," I informed him as calmly as I could.</p> - -<p>"Naked," he bellowed.</p> - -<p>"The Breen office won't allow it and you know it."</p> - -<p>"I defy them. Those radicals! It'll be my most realistic picture. A -milestone in film making."</p> - -<p>"It won't get the seal of approval."</p> - -<p>"So what? I don't need it."</p> - -<p>"Every state will ban it."</p> - -<p>"Nevada won't ban it."</p> - -<p>"Besides, you couldn't get Harriet Desmond to strut around in the raw."</p> - -<p>"Oh, no?"</p> - -<p>"No."</p> - -<p>"Her option comes up in three months."</p> - -<p>"So what? You're a director. You have nothing to do with it. That's -Dwight Howard's department. Look, David, I'll have her in a slip or a -bathing suit."</p> - -<p>"Ronnie," he said, shaking his head. "I like you. You're a writer but -I like you anyway. I feel that the audience will get the proper impact -only if she's naked."</p> - -<p>"It'll be an impact all right."</p> - -<p>"You write the script the way I tell you. I don't want to argue -anymore. I like you, Ronnie."</p> - -<p>"If you want a sexy script I'll make it sexy without being lewd."</p> - -<p>"Sexy? Don't be vulgar. I want a down to earth picture like the French -and Italians make. I want to surpass them with my realism."</p> - -<p>"David, what good would it do if I did write the scenario your way? -The scene would never be shot."</p> - -<p>"Enough," he screamed. He clutched his chest. "I feel an attack coming -on. Leave me. Get out."</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>Dwight Howard was chief production man at Silver Studios. He listened -gravely as I spilled my heart out to him.</p> - -<p>"He's a great director," Dwight Howard said. He was a large man with -tiny ears, liquid blue eyes, and the cigars he smoked cost a buck a -stogie.</p> - -<p>"Sure," I said. "A great goofy director. He's nuts just like all -directors."</p> - -<p>He grinned at me. "Directors believe all writers are crazy and writers -believe all directors are crazy."</p> - -<p>"You want me to write the script his way? You want that scene shot with -Harriet Desmond nude?"</p> - -<p>"No, no. Of course not. The whole idea is too ridiculous for words." He -sighed. "I'll have a talk with him."</p> - -<p>David Fry resigned the following day. Tortured and abused actors and -actresses celebrated for three days and three nights. Dwight Howard -didn't have to accept the resignation as Fry was bound to Silver -Studios by an iron clad contract. But a director's work gets sloppy if -his heart isn't in it. So out went David Fry, the realist.</p> - -<p>Nobody in Hollywood heard from Fry in seven months. And nobody seemed -to care.</p> - -<p>One night, as I came home from a party, I was greeted by the screaming -of the telephone. I held the receiver to my ear. "Maternity hospital," -I said.</p> - -<p>"Ronnie." It was David Fry.</p> - -<p>"Oh. Hello. How's everything?"</p> - -<p>"Fine. Great. I've got to see you."</p> - -<p>"Well...."</p> - -<p>"I'll hop right over."</p> - -<p>He hung up and I sighed. I built myself a solid drink and got -comfortable.</p> - -<p>He showed up twenty minutes later. He was thinner, more nervous than -before.</p> - -<p>He flopped on a divan. "You wouldn't believe it," he said.</p> - -<p>"Believe what?"</p> - -<p>"I want to do a picture. A science picture about a trip to Mars."</p> - -<p>"It's been done. And more than once."</p> - -<p>"With real Martians?"</p> - -<p>I blinked. "I'll get you a drink."</p> - -<p>"No. I want a clear head. Hear me out. I've met them."</p> - -<p>"Who?"</p> - -<p>"Martians. A whole gang of them. Real honest to goodness Martians. It's -fantastic. But it's true. They landed in the San Fernando Valley."</p> - -<p>"That figures."</p> - -<p>"I've got my home there. They asked for directions to Hollywood. You -know what? They came to revolutionize the industry."</p> - -<p>"Maybe they're Commies?"</p> - -<p>"You should see their equipment. Fantastic. I talked them into staying -over at my place. They dismantled their ship and have it stored away. I -want you to do the screen play. It'll be great."</p> - -<p>"They... er... weren't detected flying over?"</p> - -<p>"They use an anti-radar beam."</p> - -<p>"Oh."</p> - -<p>"They can speak every language under the sun."</p> - -<p>"Look, David. I'm tired and I want to go to bed. So be nice and go -sober up."</p> - -<p>"You don't believe me?"</p> - -<p>"No. In plain language, no."</p> - -<p>He extracted a square shaped box from a pocket. "See this gadget? I can -make myself disappear."</p> - -<p>"Do that."</p> - -<p>And he did.</p> - -<p>"Yow!" I screamed.</p> - -<p>He reappeared.</p> - -<p>I staggered to the liquor cabinet and made myself a double triple -whiskey and soda.</p> - -<p>"Well?" There was a look of triumph on his face.</p> - -<p>"They give you that?"</p> - -<p>"A present."</p> - -<p>"I've got nothing doing for a week. I'll be there tomorrow morning."</p> - -<p>"No. Tonight. You're liable to blab about it."</p> - -<p>"Don't you trust me?"</p> - -<p>"No. I know you went to see Dwight Howard about me."</p> - -<p>"Then why do you want me to write the story?"</p> - -<p>"I feel you owe me that. You're honest in some ways. Well?"</p> - -<p>"Right. I'll pack a grip if I'm staying over."</p> - -<p>"Do that. I've got my car downstairs."</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>David Fry's home was a Spanish-style ranch which consisted of a herd of -cattle and horses.</p> - -<p>The Martians looked like us except they had no necks and no finger or -toe nails. Their leader was a giant of a Martian with the name, Dooma. -They wore slacks and sport jackets which Fry had bought for them. They -seemed pleasant enough.</p> - -<p>I got some sleep and woke that afternoon. Dooma, Fry, and myself sat in -the front room and talked over the story we were to do.</p> - -<p>"We can't trust anyone," Fry said, "so you and I will play the -earthlings in it. We'll land on Mars and discover life on the planet. -Dooma and his crew will play the Martians. Real type casting."</p> - -<p>"What about sets?" I asked.</p> - -<p>"Plenty of background on Mars," Dooma said.</p> - -<p>"What?" I exploded.</p> - -<p>"Sure," Fry said. "We'll go to Mars and shoot most of the picture -there. Has anyone ever done that before?"</p> - -<p>"Sure," Dooma said.</p> - -<p>"I mean anyone on earth," Fry said.</p> - -<p>"I don't like it," I said.</p> - -<p>"We'll bring you back," Dooma said.</p> - -<p>"I still don't like it."</p> - -<p>"And we'll do that nude scene," Fry said. "We'll have a couple of -Martian girls taking a bath nude."</p> - -<p>"Oh, no," Dooma said. "That's out."</p> - -<p>"But why?" Fry wanted to know.</p> - -<p>"The Martian Censors. They won't go for it."</p> - -<p>I grinned. "There too?"</p> - -<p>"But I want to film life in the raw," Fry said.</p> - -<p>Dooma shook his head. "Out of the question."</p> - -<p>"We'll do it my way," Fry snarled, "or we won't do it at all."</p> - -<p>Dooma stood up. "Well if that's the way you feel about—"</p> - -<p>"Now wait a minute," I said. "Hold on. David, we've got a great thing -here. Don't mess it up."</p> - -<p>"I'm the director," Fry screamed. "Nobody is going to tell me my -business."</p> - -<p>"Is everybody in Hollywood like him?" Dooma asked me.</p> - -<p>"Some of them are worse."</p> - -<p>"I realize we made a grave mistake."</p> - -<p>"I made the mistake of taking you into my home," Fry shouted. "I -treated you like human beings. And this is the thanks I get."</p> - -<p>"I won't hear another word." Dooma turned and marched out.</p> - -<p>"Now see what you've done?" I was as mad as a wet hen.</p> - -<p>"What have I done? All I wanted to do was make a great picture."</p> - -<p>"You insulted him. Why, he's liable to go back to Mars and talk them -into invading us."</p> - -<p>"That idiot. What does he know about making pictures?"</p> - -<p>Activity brought me to the window. I looked out and saw the Martians -putting their ship together.</p> - -<p>Fry came up behind me.</p> - -<p>The ship blasted off and the Martians went back home.</p> - -<p>"They were hammy actors anyway," Fry rationalized.</p> - -<div style='display:block; margin-top:4em'>*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE SCANDALIZED MARTIANS ***</div> -<div style='text-align:left'> - -<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> -Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will -be renamed. -</div> - -<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
