| 0:04.3 | got 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 to you. |

| 1:58.3 | driving theme of his presentation for which he's now been punished. Terry, a very good evening to you. |
| 2:04.6 | The moment I read this editorial, I thought, call Terry Anderson, so I wrote you a note in your |
