| 0:19.0 | It's the summer of 2004 in Medina, Minnesota. The night has gotten late, but Greg Lamonde can't fall asleep. |
| 0:26.0 | He's in bed tossing and turning, his mind spinning. And when he glances at his clock, he groans. |
| 0:33.0 | It's even later than he thought. Lamonde lies on his back and stares at the ceiling of his bedroom. |
| 0:38.0 | He realizes he's not going to fall asleep anytime soon. It's going to be yet another sleepless night. |
| 0:44.0 | So instead of suffer through that, it's time to get up and get some fresh air. |
| 0:49.0 | Lamonde slides out of bed and his wife Kathy suddenly sturs. Lamonde freezes. He hopes he didn't wake her up. |
| 0:58.0 | But she doesn't move again. Lamonde knows he's in the clear. So he tipped toes out of the bedroom. |
| 1:04.0 | As he walks through his house, he steps out onto the patio where he breathes in the cool night air. |
| 1:09.0 | It's calm out here, much calmer than in his racing mind. And it makes him frustrated because it's been like this for days. |

| 1:40.0 | That's why he keeps planning ahead when he should be sleeping. |
| 1:47.0 | Lamonde hears footsteps moving through the house and then the door opens. His wife Kathy stands in the doorway. |
| 1:54.0 | Oh, what's going on, Greg? You couldn't sleep again? |
| 1:57.0 | No, not tonight. What is on your mind? Kathy, you know what's on my mind. The interview? Yes, the interview. |
| 2:05.0 | Kathy steps out onto the patio and shuts the door. Greg, don't think about it now. It's late. |
| 2:11.0 | Think about that stuff is not going to help. You've got to sleep. Well, that's easier said than done. I just can't stop thinking about what I'm going to say when I'm actually in front of the cameras. |
| 2:21.0 | Well, what are you worried about? You know you're going to be fine. No, there's no guarantee about that. Not when it comes to national TV. |
| 2:29.0 | Okay, well look, you're not sleeping and that means I'm not sleeping, so let's get through this. |
| 2:36.0 | Here, I'll pretend to be the ESPN guys. You be you. Let's talk it through and then maybe we can go to bed. |
