- Blind Singer: [singing] Too many nights I've been alone, too many times I shoulda gone home / Now I hear you got someone new to hold, hearing whispered words on the telephone / But if I can't have you, damn if anybody will / Lord, I never thought I had it in me to kill / Never thought it would come to this / Always thought that we would never miss / Now I'm breakin' my heart, so sad, so alone / Because of whispered words on the telephone / But if I can't have you, damn if anybody will / Lord, I never thought I had it in me to kill.
- Jack Haines: Go to hell.
- Blind Singer: Aw, thanks, I've been there, ain't interested. But it seems to me you're halfway there.
- Narrator: No comment necessary, except to note the necessity of caution when the hands show midnight in the dark hour of the human soul. A song of warning and hope written in somber red and copyrighted... by the Twilight Zone.
- Narrator: The man behind the wheel is Jack Haines, a long-haul trucker. On any other night, he'd be on the lookout for a good time, but that's changed. A lot has changed for Jack because of one overheard telephone conversation. He learned that tonight his wife is meeting another man here at the Mustang Bar, his name unknown. The only thing Jack Haines knows for certain is that tonight, there's going to be murder at the Mustang, a little place ten miles from town and deep in the heart... of the Twilight Zone.
