| 0:00.0 | Tonight's broadcast is brought to you by the company you depend upon for all of your greatest needs, Heart Life. |
| 0:10.2 | These stories are true dramatizations from our fair city's glorious history. |
| 0:15.6 | So listen and remember, heart life, all the life you'll ever need. |
| 0:27.6 | Far from the warm confines of Hartford, high above the frozen surface of the earth, |
| 0:30.6 | the wind screams through the webbed cable |

| 2:01.2 | We can't have you walking around on the deck, Mr. Henderson. I'm afraid you'll be |
| 2:06.3 | obliged to take the long way. Here's your harness! I sure am glad to finally get myself |
