Line 14:
Soon, humans are volunteering for trips to the Kanamits' home planet, which is portrayed as a paradise. Chambers, with nothing else to do, signs up for an excursion to the planet. As he is boarding the ship (amongst people who excitedly talk about their upcoming trip), Patty runs up to him, but is stopped by a Kanamit guard. She desperately calls out:
 
{{quote| "Mr. Chambers! Don't get on that ship! The rest of the book To Serve Man, it's... it's a cookbook!"}}
 
Before Chambers can escape, he is forced onto the ship. The episode ends with him on the Kanamit ship, breaking his hunger strike and giving in to the Kanamit's orders to eat.

* [[How We Got Here]]
* [[Prop Recycling]] / [[Recycled Set]]: The Kanamit ship was first used in ''[[Forbidden Planet (Film)|Forbidden Planet]]''.
