| 0:00.0 | Tonight's broadcast is brought to you by the company you depend upon for all of your |
| 0:07.1 | greatest needs, heart life. These stories are true dramatizations from our fair city's glorious history. |
| 0:15.1 | So listen and remember, heart life, all the life you'll ever need. |
| 0:21.6 | In the sky. Heartlife, all the life you'll ever need. |
| 0:29.6 | In the skies above Hartford hangs an example of just how tenuous our lives can be. Just as heart life carries us aloft, the winds of life and the cold outside threaten us daily. |
| 0:36.6 | It is only through the steadfastness of the |

| 1:34.2 | tethered to an icy mountain miles from the nearest shelter. Or that. No, I'm not scared of that. |
| 1:40.4 | Become yourself, youth. Be assured that I will take you across safely. Your fare has been paid. |
| 1:47.3 | Yeah, hey, I don't mean to complain, but how much further? |
| 1:50.0 | Not long now. Be still. |
| 1:53.8 | Just as the ferryman said, in time the pair arrive at their destination. |
| 2:01.5 | The lamp |
