| 0:00.0 | You feel this nervousness on the phone there? |
| 0:04.1 | Sir, I've been trying to make an urgent phone call up there. |
| 0:08.0 | I don't think it's something I want to do on an overseas phone. |
| 0:10.8 | You got to make some phone calls? |
| 0:12.8 | Hanging up the phone. |
| 0:13.7 | Prank call her, prank call her! |
| 0:16.1 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to Packernet After Dark. |
