This was an extremely interesting episode. Y'see, it is about a very skilled writer who always disliked machines, and is having trouble with his secretary(Or was it his wife? My apologizes, It's been awhile). So, it ends up with her just walking out the door, and that's the end of it. But then, a curious thing happens- His typewriter is continuously telling him to "Get out". Later, after another set of machine-related events, all of the machines in his house start to attack him (Including a flying, unplugged electric shaver) and he is chased out of his house...But is then pursued by his own car, then being pushed into his pool.
Quite a good episode, it was quite well-written (What "Twilight Zone" isn't?) and the strange string of events leading up to the ultimate ending were sublime.moreless

ADD QUOTES- TV Repairman: Last time I was over here, you kicked your foot through the screen, remember? Finchley: I have a vivid recollection, thank you. The set was not working properly. I tried to get it to do so in a perfectly normal fashion. TV Repairman: By kicking your foot through the screen? Why didn't you just horse-whip it, Mr. Finchley? That'd show it who's boss. Edit
- Finchley: Thomas Jefferson wrote the entire Declaration of Independence with a feathered quill. It took him only half a day. Edith: Why don't you hire Mr. Jefferson? Edit
- (Closing Narration) Narrator: Yes, it could just be. It could just be that Mr. Bartlett Finchley succumbed from a heart attack and a set of delusions. It could just be that he was tormented by an imagination as sharp as his wit and as pointed as his dislikes. But as perceived by those attending, this is one explanation that has left the premises with the deceased. Look for it filed under 'M' for machines in the Twilight Zone. Edit
