| 0:00.0 | Good evening. The show begins tonight in Pennsylvania with Selena Zito, my good colleague. |
| 0:10.4 | She's at Bedford Springs in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. The fastest-scoring county in Pennsylvania I learned from Selena. |
| 0:17.4 | At the inn, very famous, dating to Thomas Jefferson's time, the Bedford Springs Inn, |
| 0:24.1 | where the chef and a team of local students have taken two months to put together a carousel, |
