| 0:10.0 | He couldn't sleep before. Now listen to him. Sounds like an elephant with a chest infection. |
| 0:15.0 | Well, they call him a dreamer. And now they're right. |
| 0:19.0 | All aboard, Mr. I can never sleep when I'm traveling. Find all the comfort you need in the |

| 1:39.2 | Right now, no cut. |
