| 0:05.7 | Hey, it's Friday. |
| 0:08.1 | You can tell there's nobody here. |
| 0:11.0 | Walking around, there's nobody here. |
| 0:13.7 | Thousands and thousands of desks, offices, and there's nobody here. |
| 0:17.1 | It's Friday. |
| 0:17.6 | Hey, but listen, everybody's working. Now, this is the way it is |
