| 0:00.0 | Sarah, where's the car? It's gone. It's not gone. It's with fixer. Since you never got |
| 0:04.5 | Ranta servicing it, I took care of it. Fixed up. Fixed up. Fixed is great. They pick |
| 0:08.2 | up your car, drive it to the garage, handle the service, then drive it straight back |
| 0:11.1 | to you. Sounds expensive. Don't worry. They negotiate their prices with their partner |
| 0:14.8 | garages and the car pickup services included. So since that's all handled, how about you |
| 0:18.9 | take a look at that leaky tab or do you need me to fix that too? For easy car maintenance, |

| 1:25.8 | to the North at the same time it's deployed to the South. I was told that 300,000 have |

| 1:44.1 | me. The New York Times, Jonathan runs a headline and then summarizes these intelligence lapses |
