  Speaker 7: Yes, it is. When is it due to launch?

  Speaker 4: In about 20 minutes. It's still being loaded.

  Speaker 8: Serendipity One, this is Starlab Control.

• 2:05

• 2:10
  Speaker 8: shuttle pilot for Otto Starshine's interplanetary carnival of thrilling wonders.

• 2:27
  Speaker 4: What can I do for you?
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: S-E-T, Captain Buddy Griff.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Personal.
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: From Otto himself.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Uh, what's your Starlab ETA?
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: Seven minutes and twenty-two seconds.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Seven plus twenty-two.
• 2:43
  Speaker 10: Roger.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Okay, Serendipity One, I have you on the screen. That's
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: some paint job you've got there, Daphne. I've never seen
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: a day-glow rainbow shuttle before.
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: Part of the image, kid. Part of the image.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: And a thrilling wonder it is, too. Your docking orbit
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: insertion coordinates are 503 at 20 alpha. Docking bay seven.
• 3:11
  Speaker 11: Thanks, pal.
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: Oh, and remind me to give you a couple of
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: free tickets. Serendipity one, out.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Star lab, clear.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: Well, it seems to me that in order to project
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: the astral body.
• 3:31
  Speaker 9: The person first has to visualize being outside himself.
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: He has to actually see his etheric body while he's
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: still in his physical body.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know, John.
• 3:42
  Speaker 9: What is there about the real or imagined presence of the.
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: What's that German word for etheric double mora?
• 3:50
  Speaker 11: Doppelganger.
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, doppelganger. Great word.
• 3:54
  Speaker 9: Why is it necessary to visualize the doppelganger first? I mean,
• 3:58
  Speaker 9: if that's essential, how do you explain the fact that
• 4:01
  Speaker 9: people have out-of-body experiences while they're asleep?
• 4:05
  Speaker 11: Maybe it's because when you sleep, you dream.
• 4:08
  Speaker 12: And I'm oversimplifying this now, but aren't dreams unconscious visualizations
• 4:12
  Speaker 12: of places you've been or places you want to be?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I never thought of that. I guess that's a possibility.
• 4:17
  Speaker 11: So maybe you're both right.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, Dr. Cassidy.
• 4:22
  Speaker 11: What is it, Patrick?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: There's someone here from Barnum 5 to see Captain Griff.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: Daphne?
• 4:28
  Speaker 13: Hello, buddy, you old roustabout.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: Hiya, Daph.
• 4:31
  Speaker 11: My gosh.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Laura.
• 4:33
  Speaker 11: I'm sorry, I think nothing of it, dollface.
• 4:37
  Speaker 12: Tattooed ladies are supposed to give you the shivers and
• 4:40
  Speaker 12: make your eyes pop.
• 4:41
  Speaker 11: That's what we get paid for.
• 4:43
  Speaker 9: Daphne, this is Maura Cassidy, Star Labs Research Director.
• 4:46
  Speaker 11: Glad to know you, Maura.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Hello?
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: And this is my good friend, John Graydon.
• 4:51
  Speaker 11: Put her there, Johnny. Any friend of Buddy's is a
• 4:54
  Speaker 11: pal of mine.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I've heard a lot about you, Daphne.
• 4:57
  Speaker 12: Well, anything this beanpole told you about me, you gotta
• 5:00
  Speaker 12: take with a grain of salt. Or maybe with a
• 5:02
  Speaker 12: grain of pepper, if you like your story spicy.
• 5:07
  Speaker 11: Uh, buddy, I didn't know that you knew any tattooed ladies. Well,
• 5:11
  Speaker 11: hell's bells, Mara. Me and the kid have known each
• 5:14
  Speaker 11: other for years.
• 5:16
  Speaker 12: Well, when he was just a squirt, he used to
• 5:18
  Speaker 12: spend half the summer following Otto's carnival around. Buddy, he
• 5:23
  Speaker 12: couldn't be better. Going interplanetary was the smartest thing he
• 5:27
  Speaker 12: ever did. Wow, we got more attractions and menageries than
• 5:30
  Speaker 12: you can shake a stick at. And Otto's got one
• 5:33
  Speaker 12: whole shuttle stuffed with mattresses. Just so he can store
• 5:38
  Speaker 12: his money.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Daphne, could I ask you a personal question?
• 5:45
  Speaker 11: Far away, Johnny.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: Well, are you a.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: You know, tattooed all over.
• 5:52
  Speaker 11: Oh, why, heck yes, sugar. I even got tattoos on
• 5:56
  Speaker 11: the bottom of my feet. Want to see?
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: Well, no.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: I mean, if you don't want to.
• 6:01
  Speaker 11: Oh, no trouble at all, Johnny. Happy to oblige. Here, buddy.
• 6:06
  Speaker 11: Help me off with these clod hoppers.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: Okay, here.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Give me your foot.
• 6:11
  Speaker 12: Oh, there.
• 6:12
  Speaker 11: What do you think of that?
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: Fantastic. What's that there, Daphne? A white rabbit?
• 6:19
  Speaker 11: A white rabbit? A mad hatter. A queen of hearts, twiddly-dee, twiddly-dum.
• 6:25
  Speaker 12: Oh, heck, Mara, I got the whole story of Alice
• 6:28
  Speaker 12: in Wonderland tattooed on the bottom of these babies.
• 6:31
  Speaker 13: Daphne, did you have all these tattoos when you joined
• 6:34
  Speaker 13: the circus?
• 6:34
  Speaker 11: Nope. It was just my arms at first.
• 6:38
  Speaker 12: Muddy here gave me the idea of getting tattooed from
• 6:40
  Speaker 12: face to feet.
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: He did?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:44
  Speaker 12: The first summer he came around, he was reading this
• 6:46
  Speaker 12: Ray Bradbury novel, The Illustrated Man.
• 6:50
  Speaker 11: Well, I took a gander at the cover and decided then.
• 6:53
  Speaker 12: And there that anything an illustrated man had to say,
• 6:57
  Speaker 12: an illustrated woman could say ten times better.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Alien Worlds will continue.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Peter Paul Cadbury wants to send you a collection of
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: commemorative scenes from alien worlds, nine full-color illustrations from fantastic

  Speaker 2: Almond Joy's got nuts.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Mounds don't. Almond Joy's got chocolate eating. Coconut and nutty
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: nuts too. Mounds got chocolate eating and chewing. Sometimes I don't.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I don't enjoy that much.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: Mounds don't.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Because sometimes I feel like a nut.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I feel.
• 8:15
  Speaker 10: Like a nut.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: Sometimes I don't.
• 8:17
  Speaker 14: Alien Worlds continues.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Arriving at Starlab from the circus planet of Barnum 5,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the amazing Daphne, a tattooed lady from Otto Starshine's interplanetary
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: carnival of thrilling wonders, is reunited with her old friend,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Buddy Griff.
• 8:49
  Speaker 11: Buddy, I didn't know that you knew any tattooed ladies. Why,
• 8:52
  Speaker 11: hells bells, Ma. Me and the kid have known each
• 8:55
  Speaker 11: other for years.
• 8:56
  Speaker 12: Well, when he was just a squirt, he used to
• 8:58
  Speaker 12: spend half the summer following Otto's carnival around.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: How is Otto anyway?
• 9:03
  Speaker 12: Buddy, he couldn't be better. Going interplanetary was the smartest
• 9:07
  Speaker 12: thing he ever did. Wow, we got more attractions and
• 9:10
  Speaker 12: menageries than you can shake a stick at. And Otto's
• 9:13
  Speaker 12: got one whole shuttle stuffed with mattresses. Just so he
• 9:17
  Speaker 12: can store his money.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Half an hour later, Maura, John, Buddy, and the amazing Daphne.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Enter Starlab's visual media theater to view a videotaped cassette
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Daphne has brought from Barnum 5.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Maura.
• 9:39
  Speaker 11: Didn't quite catch that. My idea's gone punky on me.
• 9:43
  Speaker 11: I was wondering about the cassette.
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: Oh, that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 12: Well, when Otto got Buddy's message about coming to Bonham Five,
• 9:51
  Speaker 12: he rounded up a bunch of our ballyhoo boys and
• 9:53
  Speaker 12: had them put together this little video tour of the grounds.
• 9:56
  Speaker 11: Sort of a preview of common attractions.
• 9:50
  Speaker 12: Well, that was nice of him. Otto's always doing stuff
• 10:02
  Speaker 12: like that, Maura.
• 10:03
  Speaker 11: Figured Buddy'd get a kick out of it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 11: Well, I guess we should sit down, huh?
• 10:09
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: Maura, where would you like to sit?
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: Well, I'd like a seat on the aisle.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know. I like sitting in the middle
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: up close.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: John?
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Why don't we sit over there next to the console?
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: I think Johnny's got a good point there.
• 10:24
  Speaker 12: If we sit by the console, we can change focus
• 10:26
  Speaker 12: and resolution and color correct if we have to.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, right you are. Hand me the cassette button. Here
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 10:35
  Speaker 11: Okay, Johnny, let her rip.

  Speaker 6: Through their paces. I can't believe that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: She was pretty mean to me.

  Speaker 12: Good Lord.
• 12:13
  Speaker 10: Now from one of us the fabulous flying balonies an
• 12:20
  Speaker 10: aggregation of death defying aerialists so clever and accomplished their

  Speaker 10: safety net is 58 feet above them they fall up
• 12:39
  Speaker 10: One year from Otto Starshine's interstellar menagerie, a Lavinian confusion creature.

• 13:44
  Speaker 10: Kidding, boys?
• 13:44
  Speaker 12: Gotta dance.
• 13:45

• 14:11
  Speaker 10: fish person of Ditmos 8. Glees, who has extinguished himself
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: in over 7,000 performances.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: It's terrific. I have never.
• 14:31
  Speaker 12: Seen any like it.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I'll admit that.
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: How about one?
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: It's terrific.
• 14:41
  Speaker 12: Well, I'd like to hang around and shoot the breeze,
• 14:44
  Speaker 12: but I got a show this afternoon, and I don't
• 14:46
  Speaker 12: believe in keeping the customers waiting.
• 14:49
  Speaker 13: Daphne, before you go, would you mind coming down to
• 14:51
  Speaker 13: the infirmary with me?
• 14:53
  Speaker 11: The infirmary?
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: How come?
• 14:55
  Speaker 11: Well, you mentioned that your left ear was going a
• 14:57
  Speaker 11: little punky.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: I think Dr.
• 14:59
  Speaker 11: Rossiter should examine it. There might be something she can do. Gee,
• 15:01
  Speaker 11: that's really swell of you, Maura. But I'll be all right.
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: Hey, Maura's right, Daphne. It wouldn't hurt to have it
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: checked out. Besides, I think you and Dr.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: Rossiter would really hit it off.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Well, okay.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Good. I'll talk to you before you go.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: If anybody wants me, I'll be in the library.
• 15:17
  Speaker 11: Checking out a book?
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: Checking out a librarian.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: See you later. So long, buddy. Come on. I'll go
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: down to the infirmary with you.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: Maybe I can get Daphne to tell me some of
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: her spicier stories.
• 15:33
  Speaker 11: Glad to oblige, Johnny. A man who listens is a
• 15:37
  Speaker 11: good man indeed.
• 15:39
  Speaker 12: And these days, a good man is.
• 15:42
  Speaker 11: Hard to find.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: Hi, Ingrid.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Shh.
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: Hi, buddy.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: What do you mean, shh?
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, shh, because this is a library, and people
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: can't concentrate if there's noise.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Noise?
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: Ah, Ingrid.
• 16:10
  Speaker 11: Yes, buddy?
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: There's nobody here.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: What? Oh.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: How long have you had your nose in that book?
• 16:18
  Speaker 14: Well, let me see. I came on duty at 0800,
• 16:21
  Speaker 14: and it's nearly.
• 16:23
  Speaker 14: Goodness, I've been reading for almost four hours.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: What are you reading?
• 16:26
  Speaker 14: A history of circuses and carnivals.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: Oh, let me see that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Gee, this is great.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Well, since we are going to Barnum Five tomorrow, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: because Daphne and Otto are such good friends to you,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: I thought it would be nice if I could talk
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: circus talk with them. Well, people like it very much
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: when you take an interest in their profession, don't you think?
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, they like it very much.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: I hope the weather is nice tomorrow on Bonham 5.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: It would be too bad if there was Jonah's luck.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Jonah's luck?
• 16:59
  Speaker 14: It's circus talk for rainy weather.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: How did you know?
• 17:03
  Speaker 14: There's a glossary of circus language here in the back
• 17:06
  Speaker 14: of the book. I've memorized it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: Oh, you have?
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: Okay, close the book. Now let's see.
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: There's a heavy clem coming down behind the midship involving
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: a Razorback, a Joey, and a Spindleman. The clem is
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: happening because they all have eyes for the same Sally Tinker.
• 17:27
  Speaker 14: Oh, that's easy.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: A man who loves the animals, a clown, and a
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: gambler are having a fight behind the fortune teller's tent.
• 17:35
  Speaker 14: Because they all want the same Lady Aquaman.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Kiss me, you fool.
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Alien Worlds will continue.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: Pardon me, isn't that a Cadbury chocolate bar? I've never
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: tried one.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's too bad.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: Mind if I have a teensy piece? Hey, that's my bar.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: I'll just take a little bit. It was for my
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: wife and me. Oh, she'll love it. You know you
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: can get carried away with this stuff?
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I've noticed. Give it back.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, come on, it's a big bar. It's getting smaller.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Once people taste a big, thick Cadbury chocolate bar, they
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: get very carried away.
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: Because only a Cadbury bar is so rich, so creamy,
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: so Cadbury.

  Speaker 10: Great.

  Speaker 5: to finally see you in the flesh.

  Speaker 11: Will you have lunch with us, Daphne?

  Speaker 13: getting back.
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: Here's a couple of Annie Oakleys, buddy.
• 20:55
  Speaker 13: I'll flash them at the gate tomorrow, and one of
• 20:56
  Speaker 13: the boys will take you right to Arnold. Annie Oakleys?
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: That's Circus Talk for free tickets.
• 21:02
  Speaker 13: Oh, well, excuse me.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Come on, Daphne.

• 21:17
  Speaker 16: Bay 12 and board the bright yellow Marathon Alpha, one
• 21:22
  Speaker 16: of Starlab's Magnum-class long-range shuttles. Fifteen minutes later, the Marathon
• 21:32
  Speaker 16: Alpha rockets out of its launch bay, banks 40 degrees,
• 21:36
  Speaker 16: and jets.
• 21:36

  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, on the morning side of the small circus planet,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Otto Starshine and the amazing Daphne stand on the midway
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: of Otto's interplanetary carnival of thrilling wonders, watching the gaffers, roustabouts, kinkers,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: and razorbacks prepare for another day-long performance.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Well, there will be no Jonas luck today, Daphne. The
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: sky is beautiful.
• 22:15
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it's gonna be a swell day, all right. Say,
• 22:19
  Speaker 15: have we gone ahead with what we talked about last night?
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: The fourth ring? Yes, it's a wonderful idea, but it
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: requires a good deal of preparation. So we had better
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: take Buddy and Ingrid to Madame Disha the moment they arrive.
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: Gotcha.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: No, Disha.
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: Gotcha.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: Oh, by the way, what was all that commotion last night?
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: One of Glamorous Wanda's mammoth tool sacks got loose and
• 22:41
  Speaker 12: had all three of its.
• 22:42
  Speaker 15: Trunks draped over the counter of Devo's star flower stand.
• 22:46
  Speaker 15: For a minute there, Debo thought it was going to
• 22:48
  Speaker 15: sniff him right out of business.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Did you speak to Wanda about it?
• 22:54
  Speaker 15: I mentioned it to her this morning, but she was
• 22:56
  Speaker 15: so busy making herself glamorous, I don't think.
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: She heard me.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: She never changes, does she?
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: You know something, Otto? I hope she never does.
• 23:05
  Speaker 13: She's tough girl just the.
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: Way she is.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: Come, let's go see Madame Disha.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: Gotcha.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: No, Disha.
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: Marathon Alpha to Barnum 5 traffic control.
• 23:22
  Speaker 11: Uh, yo, we're tracking you, Marathon Alpha.
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: I need landing vector coordinates for Otto Starshine's Carnival of
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: Thrilling Wonders.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Coming right up.
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: Alright, is your ship outfitted with a GC-10 interface module?
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Affirmative.
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: Alright, terminate your onboard guidance system and open interface channel 105.
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: We'll launch you from here.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Roger.
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: Okay, Marathon Alpha, we have you on ground control interlock.
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: Have a good time.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: Marathon Alpha out.
• 23:57
  Speaker 14: Well, how do I look? Buddy, close your mouth.
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: I didn't know you were changing your clothes back there.
• 24:09
  Speaker 13: The way I look doesn't make you uncomfortable, does it?
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: No.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: Little tiny skirts and little tiny tops don't make me uncomfortable.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: No.
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: Yes, yes, they do make me uncomfortable.
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: Do you want me to change?
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: No, no, no. I like being uncomfortable.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: Really, I do. I love it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 12: Good.
• 24:30
  Speaker 14: I think it's a perfect costume for a.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Day at the circus. Circus?
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, the circus. Oh, sure, it's perfect for a
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: day at the circus. Or a night at the opera.
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: Or a day at the races.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Two hours after leaving the Star Lab, the Marathon Alpha
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: lands at the small spaceport near Otto Starshine's Carnival of
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Thrilling Wonders. Fifteen minutes later, Buddy and Ingrid flash their
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Annie Oakleys at the main gate of the carnival grounds
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and are escorted down the midway to Otto's office. A
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: large red and gold circus wagon surrounded by long neon
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: flagpoles that fly the multicolored banners and pennants of 20
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: alien worlds.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: You look great, Otto. Just great. Well, it's been a
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: long time, buddy. Too long. My advice is that you
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: begin coming to my circus at least once.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: A year rather than once every decade.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Will you promise me that?
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: You got it, Otto. That's a promise.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: And who is your charming companion?
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, this is Ingrid Tassel. She's the librarian aboard Starlab.
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: Well, I must say that the image of the librarian
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: has changed considerably since I was a boy.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: It's a pleasure to meet you, my dear.
• 25:58
  Speaker 11: Thank you, Otto.
• 26:00
  Speaker 13: Well, what do you two think of the place so far?
• 26:03
  Speaker 11: Oh, it's terrific.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: I can't get over it.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: Excellent.
• 26:05
  Speaker 13: Glad to hear it, kids. Glad to hear it.
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: But if you think what you've seen so far is terrific,
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: prepare yourselves for lots more, because you ain't seen nothing yet.
