"That's not fair. That's not fair at all. There was time now. There was, was all the time I needed..."

This was said to be Rod Serling's favorite episode of them all.

Time Enough at Last

{snip}

Opening narration

Witness Mr. Henry Bemis, a charter member in the fraternity of dreamers. A bookish little man whose passion is the printed page, but who is conspired against by a bank president and a wife and a world full of tongue-cluckers and the unrelenting hands of a clock. But in just a moment, Mr. Bemis will enter a world without bank presidents or wives or clocks or anything else. He'll have a world all to himself... without anyone.
