Hearing Thoughts
27 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
While going to his work, the bank clerk Hector B. Poole buys a newspaper at a street vendor and tosses a coin into his box that lands on its edge. Out of the blue, he discovers that he can hear people´s thoughts on the street. When he arrives in the bank, he hears his boss´ thoughts planning a trip with his mistress; his colleague´s thoughts showing feelings for him; the thoughts of his client planning to bet a loan at the horse racing; and the thoughts of the oldest employee planning to heist money from the vault to travel to Bermuda. What will he do?

"A Penny for Your Thoughts" is a highly entertaining episode of "The Twilight Zone", with the story of an insecure man that achieves the ability to hear thoughts. The problem is to identify the fantasies from the real intentions, but in the end, the clerk improves his life with his gift. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Uma Moeda Pelos Seus Pensamentos" ("A Coin for Your Thoughts")
