We think our path symbolizes the teamwork, not only here at the Johnson Space Center, but across the NASA contractor team and bridging the oceans all the way over to Russia. I think the successful accomplishment of Shannon's long-duration mission and our successful docking and joint operations aboard the Mir is a testimony to that fact. We had a pretty spectacular night launch at the end of our day.  It seemed like they were going off all the way to main engine cutoff about eight and a half minutes later. Right after main engine cutoff, I said, tell the Mir that Atlantis is underway, and then we heard that Shannon even saw us all the way to main engine cutoff from the Mir, which was pretty spectacular. Right after we got on orbit, you could see it was a night launch, but where we were in the world, it was already daytime, and we saw the sunrise on orbit and immediately put Terry to work, not only on the APU subsystem, but also on the overhead panel. And this is what starts turning what is a rocket ship there for eight and a half minutes into a spacecraft for 10 days. It's just an amazingly versatile ship that we have, the orbiter. And as you can see here, Terry's in the overhead panel, and we're reconfiguring getting ready to do our ohms to burn. One of the things you might have noticed in that slide was that I wasn't sweating. One of my fellow crew members pointed out that that was the first time he had seen anyone get to orbit and not be drenched, and that's in large measure to the liquid cooling garment that we wear under our space suit now. And I tell you, we'd all like to thank the people that came up with that for us. Once we got on orbit, we had a few days to do science before we docked with the mirror. This is one of our experiments. Carl Walz is holding something called MGM, or it's called the Mechanics of Granular Materials. And it studies the behavior of materials like sand, which is what's in that container, or any other granular material, and we hope that with this experiment, engineers will be able to use the information to strengthen building codes in earthquake areas, get more information about what triggers avalanches, steady beach erosion, even the behavior of materials in silos. It was a good experiment and they got good information out of it. Next slide, please. Bill, can you back up one? I just wanted to say one more thing, please. You might notice Carl's hat there. He was wishing that he had a St. Louis Cardinal hat on. Next slide, please. We call this slide the attack of water bags. One of the things we transferred to Mir was water. Unlike us where we make water with our fuel cells when we produce electricity, they don't make water and it has to be carried up to them. And they use it, they break it apart to get their breathing oxygen, and of course they use it in their galley to drink and rehydrate food with. Each of those bags weighs about 100 pounds. We transferred 20 of them. I think it was a new record, over 2,000 pounds of water. And we figured, well, we filled eight of them before we docked. When the hatch opened, the first thing I wanted to do was, because you can see they're like sea cows floating around, was, well, Larry, where do you want all this water? And he said, just keep it on the shuttle until you get ready to leave. But we managed to find a spot for it and get it over to the Mir. Next slide, please. This is basically how we started our day. We didn't really launch with a flight plan. It was tip-stepped to us the first thing every morning. You can see the tips machine there and the roll of paper that comes out. It was pretty extensive and it took us a while to cut and paste into our flight plan every day. Jay also has on a headphone there. That's connected to our VHF radio. We use that for ship-to-ship conversation with the Mir, and also for an experiment called Sarex, which turned out to be a really good deal, and I'm sure it'll be important to long-duration crew members, because each of the crew members on 79 got to make a personal phone call to their families. I can tell you that's a real boost for morale after you've been up there for a while. We also used it to find out sports scores, things like that, with random contacts. Just to the right of Jay is one of our freezers, the blue box there. That was used to return biological samples from Shannon's stay on Mir back to Earth. Next slide. On Flight Day 4, we got ready to do our rendezvous. Bill got back to his commander's chair and picked out the rendezvous checklist and did a series of burns, of course, to start our preparation for the rendezvous. You just can't imagine what a breathtaking sight it is to see something in a crew optical sight. That is the Mir at approximately 600 feet away. Of course, we could see it much further out as the brightest star in the sky, but as soon as we had done all our mid-course correction burns, you could start to see a little glimmer, and then you'd see detail in the solar rays and then the modules. But I think this picture here at 600 feet shows you just what a remarkable complex it is that they've assembled over the last 10 years. Of course, the difference between our flight and the previous one was the orbiter was a little different with a double space-hab module. And the other thing was the Mir was a little bit different because during Shannon's stay on board, the Perota, which means nature, science module had arrived. So we had a different orbiter configuration and a different Mir configuration. This is a shot that Shannon took of our arrival, and we're inside 170 feet at this point. You can see towards the aft part of the payload bay, the double space-hab module, and then towards the forward part you can see the orbiter docking system with the androgynous docking adapter there at the top, the black part. You can also see our KU band radar slung over there on top of the radiator on the right-hand side of the orbiter. We've got our noses pressed to those overhead windows, those two little windows there, looking at Shannon because she's looking at us, as you might imagine. And you can also see the reaction control jets kind of around the periphery of the orbiter there. This is a picture shortly after we were docked, and we show you this because another change to the Mir configuration from the previous flight was in the upper corner of the picture you can see the cooperative solar array, which was deployed during Shannon's mission by Yuri Onofrienko and Yuri Usuchov. That array extends down below the nose of the orbiter during the approach. The other thing that you see extending over the forward part of the payload bay is one of the base block arrays on the Mir station that extended down within a couple feet of the overhead window. You can see it in its unfettered position right now after we've arrived and the solar arrays are trying to track the sun and gather solar energy. But during the actual docking, that particular array was cutting across the left-hand overhead window. Well, after we got the hatchers open, we got down to what I considered was the primary purpose of SDS-79. And that was the crew exchange. To accomplish this crew exchange, we had to get John Suit from the shuttle over to Mir and his seat liner and all the periphery equipment that he needed for the Soyuz in case they have to use the Soyuz as an emergency escape vehicle. And then we had to get John in his suit and then he had to get in the Soyuz and do a pressure check. And after the pressure check on the Scafandra came out okay, then the Russians would accept John as a crew person for Mir. Next slide. We got John Suit checked out and it was deemed okay.  And there Sasha's helping me get that out. He's the board engineer that's now up on Mir. Next slide. And this is the shot of Valeri, the commander that's now up there on Mir in the base plot. This was the third commander that I had worked with since March. So that's not bad. And then right after this shot then I was officially a member of the shuttle crew so then I was with my fourth commander. And that's not a bad way to work, you know. 40 different commanders in six months. It was pretty good. Well in addition to John and Shannon's personal gear and the transfer of that over very early in the mission, we also had for the first time a double spacehab. And part of that spacehab is where we had most of the other logistics and supplies that we were going to transfer over to Mir and then used to return the items from Mir that Shannon and the Russians were sending home. This kind of became a transfer headquarters here in this corner. That's where we kept our paperwork and our procedures. You can see there something that's also unique is the brown cloth lockers in front of me. Those were for weight savings in spacehab and you can of course see the regular hard lockers over my right shoulder. So we had a variety of different things. We could stow items in large and small. Behind my back there is where we had three batteries we were taking up to Mir and also right behind my head you can see a couple of the powered science experiments that we later were going to transfer to Mir. Also notice the colored labels on those cloth lockers. The blue ones meant they already had the return items in them. Pink ones meant items still to go to Mir and white cards meant items not to be transferred. As I mentioned we transferred some Russian things over. This is a piece of Russian hardware weight about 250 pounds. It's a gyrodine. This is Bill transferring it from spacehab through the tunnel almost into the ODS module and he'd make a straight up turn out of the picture here to go up into the Mir. These gyrodines they have several on Mir and they're used for attitude control. This is our most valuable transfer item and that Shannon is, this is much like a couple of days later in the mission, Shannon is where the gyrodine came from and she assured us she didn't weigh quite as much and we did move her for entry. Transferred us some scientific samples over just to leave in microgravity for a long period of time. This is actually a crystal growth large doer. It's actually like a big thermos bottle that used liquid nitrogen for cooling and we placed it over in Covant one behind a panel and it'll stay there until STS-81 goes and retrieves it as we retrieved two that the STS-76 crew had left over in Covant. Well you know I spent a year in building one doing management training and this is what I really spent most of my time doing. This is up on the flight deck, a typical flight deck picture. You can see the camera equipment back behind me there. One of our seats there behind me that we use on Ascent and Entry and pretty much where we spent a lot of time taking pictures out the window and you could always see mirror as you looked out the window overhead there. This was obviously a staged picture because I don't think we ever saw Tom like this the entire mission other than when they were taking this. I'll tell you he had total control of the transfer ops from start to finish. I don't think I ever saw him relax. Well here's John working in his new home on mirror. This is the pre-rota module and on the left and on the right are racks, U.S. standard equipment racks like the ones we have in the space shuttle and they're filled with the scientific equipment that we transferred from the mid-deck and the space have over to mirror. And in the foreground you can see a French experiment called Alice and so here's John in his laboratory working very hard and he just started right away and as we were undocking you could hear John on the other air to ground working very hard to fix one of the other payloads that we transferred that had a problem, the bioreactor and he got it fixed, squared away. I'm here in the F portion of the double space have with a new friend, the Orlan space suit. The Orlan space suit is the EVA suit that the Russians use and up until this time the Russians had never been able to bring one of these suits back to Earth to analyze and to see how they did after several uses in space and so we're the first ones to be able to bring an Orlan suit back and this suit will first go to Russia and be refurbished and examined by the engineers at the Zvezda company there in Russia and then will be upgraded and returned to Johnson Space Center for testing with the Space Station airlock test assembly and it will prove it out for use in the International Space Station. Now, we tried to use every possible nook and cranny for transfer and in fact on our Eris rack which is a microgravity test rack that we flew for Space Station, we filled that with Russian food containers and near the end of our mission we removed those food containers from that rack and transferred them to Mir and then we took empty food containers which you see in this picture and Shannon and Sasha, they are taping them together to be inserted back into the Eris so we had enough room to bring them home. We have a picture here in the central node and that's the Mir commander Valeriy Korzun in the node and that is where all the modules come together in Mir and we would come up through the Kristall module into this node and then you just sort of look around and try to figure out which module you wanted to go in and you'd have to look up and down and left and right and it was probably the most disoriented I've ever been in space. You'd look into the base block and you would see people in the normal attitude and then you'd pan your body 90 degrees and you would see somebody standing on what appeared to be the ceiling although what really was the module was clocked 180 degrees and so those kind of visual things happened all the time on Mir and it was very exciting, very interesting. One of the things that consumed a lot of our time during our dock phase was filming IMAX. Tom Akers and I and our commander Bill Reedy spent a lot of time setting up IMAX scenes both in Mir and on the shuttle and we've had a chance to look at those and they look really good and we're looking for the incorporation of these scenes into the new IMAX film about our phase one program to Mir and that's supposed to be released in March of 97 to a theater near you so stay tuned. This is a picture of Shannon and this is in the tunnel adapter of the space shuttle she made sure she was on the right side of the hatch when we got ready to undock. Fortunately with all the science and transfer activities going on we still managed to find time to look out the window and take pictures of our planet and we'll show you some of those pictures at the end of the slides and something else we were taking pictures of was the Mir. Next slide please. We had a detailed test numbered 1118 and it was the photo survey of the Mir so we tried to take pictures of literally every square inch of the Mir that was visible to us, the solar panels, the modules, everything that we could and the engineers here at JSC will study those pictures and we'll determine how well the materials that Mir is made out of have withstood ten years or less in space and they can use those to see where what materials have degraded, what materials have oxidized and you can use the location of some of the off-gast materials for instance that have stained another part of the Mir to determine exactly where it's coming from, what it is and we hope our space station people will avoid those types of materials on the space station. By the way, it's in the southern Indian Ocean and it's one of several that we saw while we were in space. Next slide. Well, we got ready to say goodbye and one of the things we want to do is take a picture, the first crew picture of the new Mir crew and you can see the three of them there and John and his cosmonaut suit. Next slide. Shannon says she has mixed feelings about leaving and I'm certain that she did. She treated us and heard very, very well that it was a real team up there and anyway it was time for her to say goodbye and come aboard shuttle for the trip home. Next slide. After we closed the hatches, we spent the night attached to the Mir still and then the next morning we got up and undocked and I was fortunate enough to get to do the fly around of the Mir and this is a shot from that. You can see the docking module clearly at the top of the screen. This is a picture of the Mir at the terminator and you can see the blackness on the dark side of the earth at the top and of course we're leaving the light at the bottom. People have asked me if the Mir was easy to see on the dark side and it was very easy to see. They have aviation lights, red and green and even flashing lights located on the Mir. It was very easy to see the thing during the fly around. Next slide. Our joint program with the Russians didn't stop when we undocked. One of our objectives is to do a program of earth observations of particular sites of interest to scientists both in Russia and right here at the Johnson Space Center where a fantastic group of people studies the earth from space and disseminates all that information to scientists all around the world on a continuous basis. We carried plenty of film and plenty of Hasselblad cameras to bring you back a few shots and we're just going to show you a couple here but we have several thousand more that will be showing you over the next couple of years as they trickle out of building 8. Next slide please. This is the view out the aft windows of an area that's been in the news quite a bit. This is the Middle East. The tail is pointing to the city of Jerusalem in Israel and the Jordan River connects the Dead Sea at the bottom or center of the picture to the sea of Galilee up near the top and just a fabulous area of the world to fly around. Of course it's a desert so you can see it. There's not a lot of clouds and we enjoyed very much flying over it pretty much every day. Next slide. This is an area that I saw for the first time but because it had not been cloudy. When they talk about deforestation in the rainforest this is it. This is an area the size of about half of Pennsylvania in the Brazilian state of Rondonia along Brazilian Road 364 and we've watched in pictures from the shuttle that are analyzed here at the Johnson Space Center this area just getting less and less of the dark forest and more and more of the light green farmland. Unfortunately the farmland is not usable for very long. After as little as three to four seasons the soil becomes unusable. It's just not suitable for farming and they abandon it and take the chainsaws a little further into the rainforest. Next slide please. This is an awesome example of the power of nature as well as the power of man to transform the planet. This is Typhoon Violet just northeast of the Philippines and you can almost feel the atmosphere getting sucked down into that giant low pressure area where the hole is at the eye of the storm there in the center hundreds of miles away from us. Next one. We'll end our Earth observations with a beautiful scene of the aurora in the tail of the orbiter lit up by moonlight while the stars flicker in the background there and you can see some of the stars that appear to be closer to us than the planet there. That's because there's a little air that you can actually see through and there's that yellow layer right at the top of the atmosphere that's up about 60 miles that you can see through. That is our fragile planet down here and protected by this very thin layer of Earth and we as a crew were very happy to be able to fly the spaceship that you all built and operated for us to get up there and see these beautiful sights. This is just a portrait of our crew taken in the base block of the mirror station. And the $64,000 question is who took the picture? Well that concludes the slides. This is a short movie that we'd like to show you of footage that we assembled from our mission. Our sponsor, the crew patch. This is a shooting up before we're getting ready to go. Terry Wilcott, the pilot. Jay Apt, MS-1. MS-2, Tom Akers. MS-3, Carl Walz. And John, NASA mirror number three. On our way out to the Astrovan. Still awfully, awfully dark at that hour of the morning. Let me tell you. About to light up though, big time. Six seconds there prior to liftoff. The main engines come up to thrust. And we're on our way. First master alarm. The other thing was shaking so much that Terry and I had a real time trying to read the scratch padline of what was going on. Fortunately, we had Tom there to mid-value select between the pilot and the commander. He properly informed us what was going on with our vehicle. I think the folks that were there at the Cape had a real spectacular view not only of the SRB separation here, a little after two minutes. But all the way up the east coast. We're going to get a little bit closer view here and a special camera in the umbilical wells that was able to capture that. Unfortunately, the external tank came off in darkness so there wasn't any residual light from the main engines or anything to capture that. Once we got on orbit, we opened the payload bay doors to reject some of the heat, of course, produced by the fuel cells and got a first real good look at the space have in the back end of the payload bay and the orbiter docking system and the trajectory control sensors, those boxes right on the beam in the front of the cargo bay. Very happy to see everything was in good shape. We got on to the space have a couple hours after launch, after verification that all of the atmosphere back there was good. It's the first flight of a new habitable volume. It went just great. What a wonderful place to work and have all the logistics and live and sleep. It was just huge. I mean, it was like a big building inside. Those of you who have offices around JSC know what I mean when I say this is a lot bigger than any office I've ever had. Terry's getting ready here to transfer some of the water, specifically squeezing out a sample into a sample bag for analysis on the ground and boy, it's a good thing he was in the best shape of anybody on the crew, except maybe Shannon, go do that. It was pretty hard. Here we are checking out one of the JSC experiments on board, a bioreactor, so-called it is designed to supply nutrients to all sides of a cell in three dimensions, like a two-dimensional petri dish. Cells can grow just like they do in the living body. We took sterile samples of that as John will do every week that he's up on orbit to ensure for the principal investigator or doctor up at Massachusetts Institute of Technology that everything is working well. If all goes well, we'll learn how well cartilage, like in your knees or your nose, grows up there on orbit. Here we are on the second day of the flight, preparing the active rack isolation system, a risk mitigation experiment for space station for tests. We tilted the rack out, just as people will do hundreds of times on the International Space Station in this thing about the size of a big vending machine here and about the same weight, too. We were real careful with and took all three of us to get that out there and make sure it was all in good shape. Then Carl and I went to work for what turned out to be many days of tests on board. The idea of that system was to isolate the small vibrations that you have in space for the benefit of experiments such as this one. This is a furnace that was to melt metals, centered metals are used in everything from machine tools to exotic space structures. Here we are inserting a sample into that furnace for melding and later analysis on the ground. Back in the back, Carl was examining all of his transfer items and getting everything ready for transfer and here he's getting a computer out that John will need on mirror and putting it into a bag where it can be efficiently transferred as soon as we get docked. He did a fabulous job getting everything ready so that when we docked, bang, it was ready and everything got over. It was just super. The bright star that you see in the center of the optical sight there in the middle of the way and we're going to show you just a couple times slices here. Now we're about a mile away. Now we're getting to about 600 feet and this is how we had the cockpit laid out. Terry was in the front and he was doing the mid-course burns. Jay had the master checklist and then Tom was doing the handheld laser and Carl was working the cameras while John was our communicator and that left me free to do a little bit of flying and what you can see here are the forward reaction control jets firing as we're approaching the mirror station. This is approximately 170 feet as we're continuing to close and you can see the whole mirror station at that point. Shannon's eye view of us on our approach. Here we're about 10 feet and you can see the docking module very well coming into the payload bay. This is a view out of our trust camera that was located adjacent to our docking system and you can see that the closure is just ever ever so slow. It's about a yard in 30 seconds so you almost can't walk that slowly. About this time Tom was calling pedal overlap and then when we get to 2 inches we fire close contact thrusters to just nudge the two vehicles together so that we get hard docking. And there was great rejoicing. On the other side of the hatch too. And this is Shannon in the docking module waiting expectantly for our hatch to open here and Bill is doing that right now and of course the MIR-22 crew Valeri and Sasha and Shannon are there on the other side waiting for us. So Bill goes to shake Valeri's hand and gets brought into the docking module here. And this is a view from their camera on board MIR. And of course it was a great tremendous celebration meeting together in space and of course here's Shannon and Shannon glad to be together again after about a 6 month separation since they were training together in Star City. And Shannon had the traditional greeting of bread and salt. It's a traditional Russian greeting and we celebrated together. Well with MIR hard docked to the Shuttle and the welcoming ceremonies complete it was time to go to work and we got quite a bit of the transfer operations done that first day. This is Terry and I back in the space have you can see one of the large Russian pieces of hardware we were bringing home already there occurs unit. We also did for the first time powered transfers where we had scientific experiments under power on Shuttle that we powered down and moved over to MIR. This is Jay one of two incubators that keep a controlled temperature environment for several different varieties of samples in those. Took it over to the new module on MIR of Perota and inserted it in a locker and powered it up. The transfer operations and other activities Shannon every day we were there exercised for two hours each day here on the treadmill in the base block and one of the final transfer items which Carl mentioned was the 350 pounds of Russian food we had in the Aris experiment and this is just checking to make sure we hadn't left any in before we stowed the empty containers. Now we'll take a quick look a quick tour of MIR this was my home for six months. Now as you see we're going through here we're going through the docking module and now this is in Kristall you can see that there's lots of ventilation tubes, there's lots of wires there's lots of equipment that's stored there and there's a bungee cord that sort of helps you navigate back and forth actually well first we're going to stop off here at the green house due to the slip I was fortunate and was able to get this started and it was really sort of neat to see the wheat start to grow it reminded me of Oklahoma where I used to live and for the first time just before I left the wheat was actually going to seed and so for the first time in space we had started with the seed and it had gone two seed and so I think that's just pretty neat going on this is Perota there's a module that came while I was there and it's full of various scientific equipment as you can see there's a glove box and it just worked outstanding actually everything that all the United States equipment that was there in Perota worked really really well this chair there in the middle is one of the French experiments that came up on progress and it's left there there's just lots of equipment in Mir, there's German equipment French equipment, there's the United States equipment and it's all there it's very difficult to find places to store store stuff in the back of Perota you can see the BTS and the rest of the United States experiments now this is the node and everything joins up here and when after Perota came and then after progress came Yuri pointed out to me that for the first time in the history of the station of Mir all the nodes were occupied and that was a new record that's what it was designed for and that's how it was designed oh and this is inside Soyuz which was there and there's our responders in case there was an emergency we could have gotten in Soyuz and come home and the Soyuz is still there and it's the return vehicle for Valerian Sasha this is in the base block and you can see the table back there, Valerian is back there the table was sort of the central place in Mir and somewhere else she sort of congregated there to talk talk to the ground, eat and do all the various activities that you have and then you could look the cosmonauts each had a small cabin on each side which is very nice they could keep their personal things there and then they had a little window that they could look out and this happens to be Sasha's little cabin and the pictures of his family three month old son so he had his pictures hanging up there and then all their personal equipment their toothpaste and everything to be kept in one place and then the sleeping bag was hung up on the wall and as you looked out the window when the shuttle was there then you could see the shuttle dock there also in the base block was a ham radio and we used it to talk many times we were coming up with Houston you could talk to your family and Sasha also liked to use the ham radio a lot this is another view in the base block going toward the central on the post and Valeri was headed in that direction and you could see the bungee cords that were stretched out there to help you navigate back and forth this is inspector John has just moved in it was all nice and clean and all picked up got in there and you can see I like to read I had lots of books I put them in bookcase up there and Yuri came in he looked and he said what are you doing? I said I like to have my books out I like to look at it makes me feel good and he said well what's John going to think about that and I said well he's not here and this is the back-end inspector and you can see those are the big great things there are two cameras but then those white bags are all the science equipment that we transferred over for John and they're all stacked up there and bags of science equipment stacked up to take over to the shuttle this is another one of the large storms we saw where we were up there at Typhoon Yates fortunately none of them were around KSC on the 26th they were just simply spectacular if you could see those at night you saw all kinds of lightning we had the mirror crew over to the shuttle for a dinner that we hosted we treated them to some freeze-dried local Cajun barbecue they enjoyed that very much and it was time to go unfortunately we had our formal farewell ceremony said goodbye to really two very close friends of ours Valery and Sasha and then we said goodbye to the new mirror crew member and it was a very emotional flight I'd have to say it was emotional picking Shannon up and it was emotional saying goodbye to John if you look at the hats that they're closing and if you look carefully at a still picture you can see the repair we made to it while we were up there this is the undocking early in the morning there's springs in the docking mechanism that push the two space vehicles apart and then once you get two feet away we activate the jets and then Bill gave some pulses to separate us at a more rapid rate this is a view out one of the trust camera we call it is an alternating alternate docking camera again there goes the docking module away from us we drifted out to about 150 feet and then Bill and I traded places so that I could do the fly around and my hats off to all the ground people that arranged the timing so we got pictures like this this is the southern island of New Zealand the southern Alps are on there our geologists are particularly interested in this area because it has a lot of volcanoes and some geologic faults and the mirror and another attitude during the fly around it seems to change colors depending on how close we were to the terminator it was really really beautiful this is off the coast of Australia and that's the island that the mirror is approaching right now is Fraser Island and the town of Bisbane is just up the coast from that here's the northeast part of Australia again it's one of the capes up there and what you've got on the left side and on the right side of Australia there is the Gulf of Carpeteria again we did the fly around to set up shots for the IMAX and again for a mirror photo survey then it really was time to go home we finished up the science and the packing in the back and closed the doors I couldn't figure out why Shannon wanted to watch this but then we turned our space shuttle into the re-entry vehicle that it was designed to be is the fire on the plasma that surrounds the orbiter during re-entry that stuff seems to reach a critical mass up around the tail and you get the explosions like that that give the orbiter a thump every time you see an explosion that's sunrise over my right shoulder while we're in a row there Bill we had almost a 360 degree turn to get aligned with runway 15 at the Cape and it was a right hand turn all the way around so I looked at nothing and Terry had a real nice view of the Cape got rolled out on final and it was just the most perfect day you can imagine to come back to Florida just a light breeze about 80 degrees and bright sunshine Terry put the gear down there at 300 feet doing the final flare here at about 50 feet we never did see the birds by the way coming on in and I'll tell you the orbiter just handles like a dream you could see a little bit of oscillation as the drag chute comes out nose was cushioned onto the runway by the drag chute then the dog on drag chute works so good that you just don't even need any brakes hardly at all and about 90 knots just kind of tested them just to make sure they were working and we stopped with about 3,000 feet to go there at the Kennedy Space Center we had a surprise mystery guest welcome us home I'll tell you we were just terrifically honored and proud to be there to be with Shannon and welcome her home to be the first to welcome her home I guess from Space President Clinton and Mr. Golden we got a chance to give him one of one of our crew symbols and crew hat and of course a welcome home Shannon t-shirt


but definitely worth the time. I sold this for a hundred and ninety five dollars. Hey, Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. All right, you guys, in this video, we're going to talk about my big money Bolo's items that I sold on eBay for a really nice profit. I'm going to tell you where I got it, what I paid for it, and what it sold for. So let's get started here with the first item. And I have found this item on multiple occasions. It is a Herb Bremeyer Santa. Now, here's one thing to know about this. It is local to my area. So this is a local artist. But what this tells you is that even when you see local artists, artists and items, some of them can go for big money. So don't dismiss them. And I have sold this brand on multiple occasions. And this one is Herb Bremeyer.  You would probably look at this and think, hmm, did I mean, it doesn't look fancy. Let's just put it that way. And nothing fancy about it. It's, what do you call that? I think where you use heat to compress it into the bottom of the wood. But there it is. There's the signature. You'd probably maybe walk past it. This is also missing like a tree or a candle or something. I'm not sure what. So it is incomplete. But it is one of a kind. It's got some scuffs and marks on it. But it is a sought after local artist. I sold this for a best offer of $50 incomplete with condition issues and the buyer paid shipping. And I can't remember where I got this one. I apologize. I did not write it down. The next item is this faux pearl garland wedding or Christmas tree decor. And actually somebody reached out to me and they just wanted certain pieces. And I didn't really want to split it up because then I would have had to redo the photos. So I just sold it as a set and they offered me 35. So I went ahead and took it. Could I have gotten more if I was patient? Could I have gotten more if I parted this out? Quite possibly. And it kind of looks like jewelry, doesn't it? It's beautiful. But yeah, I sold it for $35 plus shipping. Let me know in the comments if you would have parted it out, if you think I would have got more selling this differently. I probably could have sold these individually. The next item you may have seen in another video. This is a stuffed Santa Claus, another artisan piece, folk art, hand painted face. Got this at the Goodwill Benz. I think I paid $5 for it because it was a bigger item and they worked with me on the price of that. Sold it for $62 and the buyer paid shipping. The buyer was happy with the item and they're like, I didn't think it was this big. Maybe the pictures were a little bit deceiving. I did have the tape measure showing how big it was. But you know, sometimes even with a tape measure, you get the item and you're like, oh, but isn't he like, I don't know if he's creepy or cute, but $62 on that one and the buyer paid shipping. This is a Mr. Christmas, Good Nights lights blow out Santa. So if you blow into this hole, it will turn on the light, turn it off and on. Is that not cool? Have you guys ever seen this before? It's a pretty cool item. I've sold it more than once. I've sold it with the box and without the box. 2011 looks like it was sold at Walmart. I sold this for $46.50 and the buyer paid shipping. The next item took a long time to sell. Now, I did have a couple different versions and the other versions sold quicker, but let me show you what this looks like. It's just this kind of plasticky over lights. Looks like that. Not super fancy. I got this at a thrift store in a Christmas mystery box and I sold this for $37.19 and the buyer paid shipping. So my cost of goods was probably a buck or two. Now, this one is amazing and I did take the time to put this together. You probably think I'm crazy. I don't normally put things together, but this wasn't too bad. It's from 2012 made in Germany and it wasn't a lot of pieces guys. It did take me a little bit, but definitely worth the time. I sold this for $195. It is Playmobil. It's $5245. If you want to look it up, it's a Western toy set, but the fun thing about this is it also had a, I think it was a WWF or WWE. Which one is wrestling? It had a wrestling chair, rocking chair in it that somebody had just thrown in there and that was a Bolo also that you saw in a past video. I got this at a thrift store for $10. So the rocking chair pretty much paid for this plus sum and then I made $195 on this, minus fees of course, buyer paid shipping on that. These are the Hallmark Interactive Story Buddy Jingles Huskies Stuffed Plush Dogs. I sold these for $37.20 and I got these at a garage sale for $0.50 each. So all in for a dollar and the buyer paid shipping on that. This is a Herod's Nightbridge Royal Palace Queens Guard Teddy Bear and I got this from Hall Sale and Hall Sale is no longer in, what do you call it? The site no longer exists, unfortunately. I thought it was an awesome, amazing idea. People would sell their things, wholesale to other buyers, but it just did not work out and the site is no longer around. But when it was, I purchased this and it was a plush lot. So my cost of goods I think was around $3 for this, if I remember correctly. And I sold this for $40 plus shipping. This was a lot that I believe I got, I think the Rebel reseller was selling it on Hall Sale. If it is, I have a video about it. Everything I got in that lot. I'm almost positive this was from that. And sold this for $40 plus shipping. If you're not following the Rebel reseller, definitely check her out. She is absolutely incredible. Her and her husband have a YouTube channel. They specialize in plush but also sell other items. They're what sold videos you are definitely going to learn. So check out the Rebel reseller. This is a vintage miniature ceramic Christmas tree. It's only seven inches. Look how cute it is. It's a little guy.  And it was missing a light. Sold this for $48 plus shipping. This came out of a thrift store Christmas mystery box. So cost of goods was probably less than $5. Now this one is absolutely amazing. I was hoping to get more for it. I think I could have if I would have been more patient, but I'm not patient all the time. Somebody offered me $150 and I'm like, I'm going to take it. It is a Weiss rhinestone 11 row bracelet. There's one rhinestone and I think it's right there that had a little bit of yellowing other than that. This thing was immaculant. Beautiful. Right there is your signature. $150 on this and the buyer paid shipping. And I just think this is gorgeous. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. And the next item I've talked about this one before in a video. And it is Cynthia Chung and it is jewelry 10. This is a piece that probably gets missed a lot. It's porcelain J10. It will usually have jewelry 10 spelled out, but this is a smaller brooch. Look at the glue residue. Doesn't look fancy, right? I sold this for $71.30. Do a deep dive research on jewelry 10 and be on the lookout for this artisan made piece. The next item is this J crew double strand draft necklace. Now this one I put on eBay because I wanted to see if I could still sell it for big money with the condition issues. This is a J crew piece. If you don't know J crew does pretty well, but do you see this on the beads in perfections on the beads? Look at this scuffs, marks. You can see them right here, right here, right here, right here. Lots of issues on the coating. And I still sold this piece for $61 plus shipping. So a lot of times if there's defects, I'm like, I just want to see if I can still sell it for big money. And I did. I think $61 is great. Now, if it did not have these issues, I probably could have sold it for more. But what a cool piece, right? J crew, be on the lookout. This is a Tobin stamped tablecloth for embroidery. It's oblong prairie rose. I sold this for a best offer of $100 plus shipping. I got it at a garage sale for $2. Originally $27.35. These do go, they retired and they're hard to find and you can ask more money for them. Don't be afraid to ask more money. You may be, have to be patient. It may be more long tail, but big money. Tablecloth embroidery right there. These took forever to sell. And when I found these, I'm like, Bolo, Bolo, Bolo, I'm going to sell these for crazy money. These have been listed since 2021. I paid $4.50 for them. They are these ginormous candles. They're 24 inches long. They are joined at the top. Wow. I ended up taking a best offer of $70. So definitely worth the wait. Still in the original box. And I have another set available, but very, very cool item, but took a long time to sell. So the next item is this vintage arrow table top wood Christmas tree from 1974.  It's like a craft. This sold after Christmas. This sold after Christmas. I don't know if I'd consider that a Christmas item or not. Wasn't there another Christmas item? Let's see. Let's go back. Sold before Christmas. Those are also kind of a Christmas item sold before Christmas. Sold before Christmas. Okay. So it was just this one right here. And this one sold after Christmas as well. And I sold this guy for $75. I picked it up at a thrift store for $6.99 Plus shipping. I love fiber optics. Always pick them up. It was tested and working as you can see. Look at me. You can see me in the, my reflection. That's funny. And it did have some condition issues. The buyer did message me when they got it and said that it was not working. I think it just needed a light bulb. So I don't know if it got like jostled around during shipment or if the light bulb just burnt out. But anyway, $75 plus shipping on that one.  Let me know down in the comments which one was the most unexpected. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for watching. Be sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share.

From Hollywood, your Radio Theatre. California, for all of you men and women in the armed forces of the United Nations, special service presents your Radio Theatre. And here is the director, Mr. Cecil Dean DeMille. We present the first acts of Tom Dick and Harry, starring Ginger Rogers as Janey, with George Murphy as Tom, Alan Marshall as Dick, and Burgess Meredith as Harry. We're in the Strand Movie Theatre, where the second feature of the evening is just drawing to a close. The hero and the heroine stand gazing deeply into each other's eyes. Come away with me, darling. I love you. No, John. No. You mustn't say that. Now the hero draws the heroine close to him. Oh, I'm sorry. Now the hero draws the heroine close to him. It takes a long pause. Over there in the second seat off the aisle is Janey. And that's her boyfriend Tom, the fellow trying to hold her hand. Janey is young and very pretty. Doesn't even know he's there. She's completely carried away by the hero's next line. But you don't understand. I want you to marry me. Marry you. But John, we live in two different worlds. You have money, positions, everything. There's too great a ghost between us. Janey is scared now. Will the hero take her up on it? But no. He's only taken another pose. Darling, our love will build a bridge to cross that ghost. Oh, darling, I'm so... And so is Janey. The end.  Hey, Janey. Who? What are you thinking about? The picture. Wasn't it swell? Janey, do you think the movie was true to life? I mean, do you think a rich guy like that would marry a poor girl like that? Well, of course he would. He loved her, didn't he? Yeah. Well? Well, what? A car. He loved her. Oh. Hey, Janey, how about if you and I drive out the inspiration point for a while, huh? Not tonight, Tom. Why not? No, I just want to talk to you. That's what you always say. No, hon, at this time I really mean it. Just talk.  Well, okay. But remember what you said. I'm kind of crowded out here, ain't it? A lot of cars tonight. Uh-huh. Janey, I, uh, I suppose tonight I'd seem to use this bike the most any other night. We've had a date together. Oh, it hasn't been. Oh, I may have been acting the same, but something happened the day that changes everything. Hmm? Janey, listen. Hello, how are you? I'm glad to see you. And what is everyone like tonight? Ice cream? I like a chocolate, vanilla, toffee, strawberry, bird's almond, neapolitan, peach, coffee, and all kinds of peppermint. Well, that went out, mister. I don't think so, lady. Well, you did. Let me see. Chocolate, vanilla, bird's almond, peach. All right, all right. Break it up, break it up, will you, brother? We came out here to be alone. We want to talk a little bit privately. There's people concentrating here at your dystopia. I'm surprised at you. Ice cream, get your ice cream. Give me a flavor that takes the flavor I got all the time. Janey. You left out the specials. Oh, Janey, listen to me, will you? Oh, yes, will you? Oh, something happened yesterday. Yes, yes. Well, what do you think it was? I don't know. I closed the R&D Hamilton deal. Tom, you're Dan. Yes, I did. 30 specials to Dan. Tom, that's wonderful. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. That's nothing. What do you think else? Huh? I got promoters. Again? Yep. Right after I closed the deal, Mr. Burton called me in the private office. Oh boy, Burton Motors is proud to have you here with us. And we want you to know about it. And here it comes. Hang on. Get ready. He says, from now on, you are the assistant sales manager. Assistant sales manager? Yeah. So, well, Janey, I was thinking that you and I have been friends for a long time now. Huh? Well, Janey, you don't belong in that telephone company getting up every morning and plugging in calls for people all day. You deserve something better. I'm going to get it for you. Huh? Well, what do you say? Well, what do you want me to say? Oh, Janey, now, don't make out like you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm asking you to marry me. Oh, Tom! No. No? Yeah, no. I don't mean no exactly. I mean, well, no for now. I think maybe we'd better think about it a little bit. Hello. Lady, you were right. I left our pistachio. Are you in again? Will you get out of here, please? What's the matter with your friend, lady? He's always yelling. You don't have to yell at me just because I'm a little obnoxious. Knock it. A guy comes out to try and get a little privacy. Aw, now stop. All right. Come on. Let's get out of here. Isn't there any place in the world where a fella can get a little privacy? Paint on the ignition. Paint on the ignition. Good night, Tom. Good night. You mad at me? Oh, not exactly mad. I just don't understand what you mean. You've got to think about it. Aw, that's a pretty important step. I'm not sure yet. You want to marry a rich guy, is that it? If I love them. But, Janie, I tell you, I'm going to be rich in another two years. Oh, Tom, it isn't that. You probably will be rich. Maybe if you weren't, I'd marry anyway. Well, what's the trouble? Nothing. I just want to think about it. Why? What good is it going to do to think about it? Oh, please say yes. Janie, please. You don't know what it means to me.  I need you, Janie. I love you. I do anything. You do? I do what? Love me. Well, sure. Didn't I ever tell you? Yeah. Well, sure. I love you more than anything. Like, every time I think about you.  Yeah. Oh, Janie, you got to say yes. You got to. I'll commit suicide if you don't. How? How? How do I know how? Say, what are you trying to do? Drive me nuts? I'm not asking for a dad. I'm asking you to marry me. Well, you're going to put it like that. All right. You mean you will? Yeah. Boy. Ow! Sorry, I am such a boy. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean to do that. It's just that, oh, Janie. Oh, Janie, you made me the happiest girl in the world. How? No, no, I mean, I hope you are because I am one more mixed up. I don't know what I mean, but you'll never regret this, Janie. You know what I'll do? I'll sell a million cards for you. Here me a million cards. I'll bet you will, Tom. It's getting late. I better get home. Hey, you got to get up early, you know. But, Tom... Will I see you Friday? Well, of course. Oh, Janie, if I could only tell you. If I could only... Yes, Tom. Janie. Oh! Oh! Good night, Janie. Oh, good night. See you Friday, 8 o'clock sharp. Good night. Hello, Pop. Hello, Janie, have a good time? 12. Guess I go to bed. What did you see? Janie, it's just a talking to you. Oh, what did you say? What picture did you see? Oh, the one at the stand. Any good? 12. Want to hear some news? Tom proposed to me. No kidding. Let's gather around with us. This is our wedding day, Janie. Hold on, folks. Take this man to Love Honour and live happily ever after. No fair getting it aboard. I do. You, Tom, take this woman to Love Honour and sell a million cars as long as you both shall live. I do. I now pronounce you a lovely couple. Boy! Ow! Boy, didn't mean that. Hey, hey, no fair punching the bride. Say, wait. Where's the wine cupboard cottage? You can't be happy about a wine cupboard cottage. Bring on the wine cupboard cottage. There it is. But no child. What's a home without a child? Bring on a... And it's all you just trying to keep... When you hear the tone. You can't pin the news out. Maybe the way me hear this. This is on disco. Listen, you're dope. I don't think I'd better. Anyway, I'm engaged to Tom now. You're made with your said yes.  See, what's the matter with you? You talk like you aren't even happy about it. Well, of course I'm happy. What do you want me to do? Flow to Tom? Tom was his handsome or something. And he's certainly got plenty of personality. Is there anything wrong with him? Maybe he gets promoted too much. Well, now I know you're crazy. Look, goodie. Look at that star there. Starlight starlight. First stars of the night. I wish you may or wish you might. How much wish you wish tonight? You're not supposed to tell. Go on. What if you wish? I wish I could make a certain spell. The one who just called in New York, huh?  The one with the fancy car? The average. What's the chance you just came? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Look, look, look, there it is. There it is. I saw it, I saw it. You said I know there's not any place it's here. If I tell you... And that must be Mr. Hamilton. I found that way just the way you're going. No, I didn't. No, I didn't try. Thank you. Goodbye, Jane. See you tomorrow. Goodbye, Jane. Comfortable? Oh, yes, I'm fine. You know, you must think I'm somebody else. No, I don't. Why, wasn't that before? Well, sort of. I suppose you think I'm awful forward, but it's all an account of a star. Account of what? No, star like star like, you know. Star like star. I live on Ike's next corner. Oh, that's for the ride? No, for the ride. It's a nice car. Well, it's a couple of cars like this, it's hard to get part. Oh, I guess. Yeah. My house is a third house, all right. I guess you think I'm awful. We'll probably never see each other again. You never will understand. Going tonight? Oh, well, I didn't mean to. No, I know you didn't. I'm just impulsive. Eight o'clock, all right? Oh, well, lovely. Well, Violet, two bunches, though. Oh, this is my younger sister, Barbara. I mean, butch here? Well, pal's already. I'm with you. Butch? Yeah. Well, shall we go? I'll come home too early. Thank you, then. Goodbye, boys. What? Why, do you mind walking? Oh, I'd love to. Good, I like to walk. Oh, I guess if you don't have to, you want to. I don't know. Even if you don't want to, you may have to. You might as well want to. Say, that's a nice dress. Oh, I'm glad you like it. My mother made it. Really? Yeah, it's so horrible, you see. You know, I'm sort of sorry, it's so nice and away. Why? Well, you see, you went to all this trouble, you and your mother, about the dress and all that, and, and tell you the truth, I ran a little short this week. I only got a dollar eighty cents on. What am I laughing at? Climbing down Main Street and that's big car? Sure. Well, but that, what is that? Did you think that that was mine? Well, wasn't it? No, I was just delivering it. I'm a mechanic down at Slater's Bride. A mechanic? Yeah, we pick up and deliver. Want to do that? That's for trying to pick me up. Wait a minute. What's your name? Janey. Mine's Harry. How do you do? How do you do? Listen, Janey, I, I'm really sorry about this. That's, that's all I can say now, you know. Why don't we go out anyway? I'll tell you what, I'll show you the best time you ever had in your life, on a dollar eighty cents. Wow. Wow. Do you like movies? Sometimes. Come on. Not as good as I want. A strand. A strand? Oh, I saw that. That was awful. I bet you that that's where you got that idea. What idea? The idea that a girl can marry a millionaire. Hiya, Harry. Hiya, Roy. How's the boy? Oh, well, I can't a girl marry a millionaire. Well, there's not enough millionaires. How many millionaires do you think there are? Oh, about a million millionaires? There are 9,653 and most of them are already married. Well, if they're married, maybe they've got sons. No, the rich have a very low growth rate. But they do have sons. Little teeny ones. Little teeny ones.  Everything by numbers. No, I didn't. You make it sound like a horse race. Well, that's what it is. You've got to figure the odds, you see. Sure, the odds are against any two people meeting. That's probably something like two billion people in the world. And if a girl meets any fellow, it's an accident, isn't it? Yeah, but that is- Well, there's no reason why the accident can't be a rich fellow instead of a poor fellow. You got a point there, brother? She's got a point. She's got nothing. Now, look, I'll tell you why. Now, the reason that the accident can't be a rich fellow, see, is that the rich don't move in your circle. Well, why can't I move in that circle? Why can't she move in that circle? Look, you know the Hamilton? Yeah. Sure.  Do they invite you? No. No, do they invite the hamburger man? No. No, do they invite that drill over there? Hiya, Harry. Hiya, Mark. How are ya? You don't all right, they don't. They invite people from their own circle. And if they run out of them in this town, they import them from other towns, right? Right. Right. Right. Right. Come on, I'll take you bowling. Please be honest, you never get a chance to move in that circle. She gets, well, waiting one chance in a minute. Yeah, but- Here, do you want a bowl? I don't know how. I'll show you how to bowl. How are you? Do you know what you know? I never heard such reasoning on all my lines. You can just hold on to that ball. That just doesn't make sense. No, you put your two fingers right in there. You see your thumb there. That's it. I'm happy. I'm happy. I forgot. Every day you read about girls marrying Ricksellers. Every day. Yeah, you hold it.  So books and it's all a magazine and it's all a newspaper. You got the wrong clothes for bowling. I got the right clothes. I got the wrong fella. Just as natural for a girl to want to make a good marriage is just for a fellow to want to get a hat. Stand a bar here. This is all I would say to you now. Don't be ambitious. Don't try to be somebody. Don't try to- I explain. You don't believe it? Success. I don't believe- I don't believe in biting and scratching and climbing over things. But you want something, don't you? Yes, I do. But I'm not going to kick people around to get it. That's all I like people. Whoa, so do I. Some of my best friends are people. Sure. That's it. And if ambition. See, if ambition means lying and conniving and cutting people's floats, then it's not worth it. Oh, here's your places. Yeah. Well, what is the answer then? Being satisfied with what you have? You know, I don't- I don't know what- Well, I suppose the answer is to get a head all right, but without slugging everybody all the time. I don't believe in this every man for himself because I get along with them. You know what I think. What? I think you're wrong. You do? You think? I've been going with a phone in town. Yeah. What's the brick-mode of self-doubt? He's ambitious and he's trying to get ahead, but he doesn't go around slugging. No, I don't- Well, he doesn't. And he's a very nice boy and he's going to get someplace too. I don't- Well, he is. And it just so happens that I'm even thinking of maybe marrying him, Stephen. What? Maybe you may- Better marry me instead.  Why not? Why, uh, I hardly know you. Sometimes people know each other better in one night than they do in two weeks. They do? Sure, how about it, Janie? Look, I've been looking for the right girl for a long time and Janie, you're wonderful. I am. You better make you say yes. I promise you you'll never be sorry because I'll- I'll take you fishing every day. Oh, I- I think we ought to know each other better before we discuss this. I get that I do know you and I think maybe I'm in love with you. When will you know? Shouldn't be long. This night better go, me and I. Can you get me? I- I know, yes, ma'am. Well, all right, after that, I better go in. I suppose that was your attraction. No, there's no such thing as no. You ever hear it before? Yes. Well, then, Heidi, I know what it means. I think maybe you're better at this than me, Janie. Will you marry me? Oh, no. Oh, no. Why not? Why not? Is it the spell of time? All right, I- Say yes, Janie, please. No. I can say yourself engaged to me, I guess you- You're maybe the violinist. Yeah, I know. Why? Well, I got a date. With time tonight, darling. It's radio theater. It's intermission time now, and before we hear act two, let's listen to the sensational trumpet of Harry James. Calling Ginger Rogers as Janie, with George Murphy as Tom, Alan Marshall as Dick, and Burgess Meredith as Harry. And Grace to Tom and Grace to Harry, and Grace to Tom and Grace to Harry. All night long, that great problem revolves in Janie's pretty head, crossing and turning in her bed. She dreams now of marriage with her brand new fiance. Here comes the bride, and here comes the bridegroom, and here comes the justice, dancing down the aisle.  I do. And you? Hi, Harry. Hi, you judge. I now pronounce you man's wife, and Janie, I think you're making a big mistake. Bring on the puppet out, Janie. What's that? Yes, Mr. Burton, I'm keeping the show open this evening. Yes, sir. I've got that little sedan right up in the front window. I thought that- Oh, Mr. Burton, the prospect just walked in. Yes, sir. Yes, I'll call you later. Well, well, good evening, good evening. Hello. And what can I do for you this evening? Do you drop in and look over the new models? Yeah, that's pretty neat. Very nice little job, isn't she? Best little car in the market. All right. Is your name Tom? Yes, it is. That's what I saw. Did someone refer you to me? No, I heard about it. Oh, I see.  Look, you're over. Yeah. Well, that's very nice, sir. Very nice indeed. I don't believe I caught the name. I don't believe I threw it. Didn't show it, huh? That's very funny. Yeah, well, anyway, my name is Harry. Harry, well, Harry, was there anything in particular you had in mind? Me? No. Well, now there's a little car over there to find a thing on the market. And the most amazing thing about her is the price. Only $598. $598. Is that delivered? Well, no, that's not delivered. That's FOB, Detroit. FOB. Yes.  Well, very nice bumper. Oh, do you like that? Well, I can arrange to have a set of those put on the car for you for just a few pennies extra. How many pennies would you say? Well, let me see. A model like this is completely equippable for your wholesale. Of course, it would run $886. $886. You mean that's the whole thing? That is the whole thing, absolutely. Of course, that doesn't include the sales tax and your license plate. No, no, no, no, look, how much does the whole thing cost? You know, all together the grand total? The grand total? Well, now wait, I'll figure it for you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But you know, the whole thing, everything in, fully equipped in your garage and you'll be proud of her. $1,107. $1,107, that's right. It's amazing. Well, after all, it's not what you pay, it's what you get.  Right now? Well, sure, why not. Friday night, great night to relax. Look, you got a date.  I know, there's nothing that I'd like to do that's more important than making you a member of our little happy customers club. Say, you a married man? Not exactly. Well, I bet you got a girlfriend, haven't you? That's it? Why don't we show the car to her? Well, we'll drive out there, pick her up and I'll take you both for a ride. Both of us? Why not? No, I don't think so. Oh, I don't. Wait a minute. No, no, no, no, after all, she's the one you want to please, right? No, yeah, but I... Well, it's a perfect night for a ride.  I'll take you any place you want to go. This is not a good idea. Oh, now, hold on. Hold on, wait just a second. I'll make a little phone call here and cancel a little appointment. Don't do it, will you please? I don't want inconvenience. Oh, please, please. No inconvenience at all. It's all settled. We're all going for a ride together, okay? Okay.  You know what I mean? Forget just your that. All right, she lives right along here someplace. Notice the way she takes the pump? Hardly any vibration at all. Smooth as it gets. Smooth. Here it is. Where? Right here, third house. Third house? Hey, listen. Just a minute. Be right out. Hey, wait a minute. Are you sure this is the right place? Sure I am. It is. Oh, Janie. Oh, no, what's this? Nice car, huh? This gentleman's going to give us a demonstration. Beautiful, it's all... What's the matter? Oh, that's supposed to be something I told you I've been going through, you know. He talked his way into it. He's very forceful. Come on. Fine thing. I turned my head and you're out with another guy. Janie, up so you can show people around. Fine thing. Get in, Janie. Say, Janie tells me to do to know each other. Yes. Small world, isn't it? So, so. Was there any place in particular you wanted to go? No. Oh, yes. You might drive us to Inspiration Point. Inspiration... Okay. Very nice, Janie. Why he doesn't come to my nose? I don't know. Like I told you. All I can say is it certainly shows a very nice straight in your character. I beg your pardon. I don't mean to interrupt, but could I have just one little word? Janie, what is it? Do you like the car? I love it. Do you like it, Smith? Yes, it's fine. Are you enjoying the demonstration? Yes. It's been thrilling so far. Well, thank you very much. Please, it's over now. What's that? I say it's over now. What's the matter? Well, this is Inspiration Point. Oh, it is. Oh, it's lovely. No, no, no. You don't seem to get the idea. This is the place you said you wanted to come to, isn't it? Oh, you mean you want us to get out? That's right. That's right. Now you're beginning to get the idea. Well, you come, my dear. Let's get out. Nice work, Thomas. Thank you very much, Harry. I'm always glad to bring young couples out here, because I know how many memories a place like this can hold. Excuse me, please, Smith. Notice how solidly the door is closed? Now, any time you and the young lady have nothing better to do, I'll be glad to drive you around and show you any of the other points of interest. Good night. I don't like that man's attitude. You'll never get to be president. He's a sorehead. I knew this would happen to me. I just knew it. I said to myself, like the day I said, before this evening is over, you'll be walking. Oh, hello, Hawaiian. How is everybody? And what is everyone watching tonight? Ice cream? Hello, Harry. How are you? How are you? Fine. How's business, Phil? Oh, terrible. People don't like me. Say, what are you doing out here without a car? It's a long story. Anybody I know around here? Why, you want a lift? Yes, I would. Hey, Mr. Hamilton. Hamilton, we're all friends. Mr. Richard Hamilton, do you? Look, hello, Mr. Hamilton. Oh, hello, Harry. What are you doing out here without a car? Well, I just took a notion. Say, could you? I mean, are you going into town? Right, sure. Pop in. Well, look, I've got a friend with me. He would be always close. All right, Janie, come on. Get in. Janie. I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Hamilton. How do you do? I'm sorry, Janie. This is Mr. Hamilton. Oh, I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Hamilton. How do you do? Well, hop in. Thank you. I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Hamilton. Here we are. Thanks a lot, Mr. Hamilton. That was nothing at all. Good night, Janie. Mr. Hamilton. I, uh, Mr. Hamilton, I... Glad to meet you, Mr. Hamilton. Good night. Good night. Good night. Well, I guess that was pretty lucky, huh? Good night, Harry. What do you mean, good night? And you said I'd never get a chance to meet him. You don't call that meeting him, do you? He didn't say a word to you all the way here. We were properly introduced by a mutual acquaintance.  No. Good night. Janey, wait. Go to sleep, Janey. I'm not tired. Go to sleep, Janey. Engage the time. Engage the hair. Richard Hamilton. He's pretty. There he is, Mrs. Richard Hamilton Jr. I remember the day I married him. It seems like yesterday except they have three children now. Lovely brats. Bring on the stately mansion. Bring on the brats. Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! Major! What do you think, Janey? What do you think? Oh, Janey, wouldn't that be great? Two curtain of your radio theater. We'll get on with the third act in just a moment. Right now, Harry James and his music makers take over and with lovely Helen Forrest vocalizing they're all set to go. Here they are. Here's on the third act of Tom Dick and Harry. Engage to Tom, engage to Harry. But Richard Hamilton Jr. Oh, he's pretty. That's the substance of Janey's dream and the problem is becoming a little too much to handle. Now the dream is over and part of it has come true. For Richard Hamilton Jr. has called Janey and they're out on a date. Not an ordinary date, either. For Mr. Hamilton, modern night of the shining airplane, has flown her to a nightclub in Chicago. Add your carpet, wings of love. These folks will be home by 12 o'clock. Well, what happens at 12? Have you turned into a pumpkin? No.  Thank you, Father. You're Janey Shapiro's birthday party. That's where I told my mother I was going. Oh. Well, here's to Janey Shapiro. May she live long and prosper and may her party last forever. Tell me, are you married? I don't think so. Why? Just wondering. I'm not married, either. I'm not married. Oh. Well, congratulations. Do you see anything on the menu that you'd like? Well, I think I'll have some... I don't have to worry for the both of us. All right. Yeah. Oh. I suppose you think I've never been in a restaurant like this before. Well, on the contrary, I'm sure you have. Well, I have. Well, that's what I said. I've been proposed. I've been proposed to twice. Two different styles. But I'm not married. Champagne makes me sneeze. Well, there's no accounting scene. Don't you think I've never had champagne before? Now, why should I think that? Well, I have. Oh, I said no. I'll go once, Ava. That's what I said. That's what I said. What's the difference between a radio and a clothesline? It's a riddle. It's a riddle. Yeah, but I... I've got one for you now. I didn't finish. Oh, I love it. Beautiful idea.   Look, Janey, would you really marry me? I had a date with you.  Sitting on our doorstep all night.  Say, that roost is fast.  No, I don't think so. Yes, yes, come. Well, who's that with it? Maybe you'd better let me down. I want you to tell this hairy guy here who you're really engaged to. What about me? I'd see you alone for a minute. No, you can't. You don't have to raise him. If you were really engaged, you might have told me. Why? I don't see where eggs to treat, fellas. Then it is to cook, fellas. Janey, how could you do a thing like this? Why, you just met these two guys. Be quiet and let her make up her own mind. That's what I say. Let her make up her own mind. Let her think. Now listen, Janey, leave her alone. What? Well? Well? Well? You're on the close one. Janey, I think maybe you better go on up the bed. I don't love you yet. Even. Even. Well, if we could come back later when you're feeling better, Janey. What'd you get? Sure. What'd you come? What's all right with me? What you had? Sure I was. Oh, you're wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.  Well, here I go. Don't forget to come back.  Me, Janey. Me, Janey. Me, Janey. You just met these guys. You hardly know them. I'm your fella.  I'll make you happy. Take your fishing. Me, Janey. I'm your fella. Me, Janey. Me, you, Janey. Take these three fellows to be a lawfully wedded husband. I do. Have you three fellows take this girl to be a lawfully wedded wife? We do. We do. I now pronounce you the only solution. Goodbye, dear. I've got a rush, dear. I have to sell a million cars today. I owe all my success to you. Oh, wait. I have to go buy a new airplane here but I'll be home early and we'll fly to Chicago. No, no way. I'm staying home, dear. Somebody has to keep you happy, woman. Any girl would be lucky to get you, but we're not right together. You ought to marry the boss's daughter. Oh, shoot. Harry, you're one of the most interesting fellas I've ever met and one of the nicest, but you're crazy. Oh, I'm awfully glad to have met you. No trouble. Dick, we don't move in the same circles, but you're what I've been dreaming about all my life, so if you still want me, I'd be very happy to be Mrs. Richard Hamilton Jr. Janey. Darling, let's not wait any longer. Let's try to get married right now. Hello, Tom. Congratulations, fella. I guess the best man won after all. Mind if I kiss the bride-to-be or go right ahead? Bye, Janey. Goodbye, Tom. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Thank you. Well, goodbye, Harry. Hello, Harry. Congratulations, fella. I think she's making a big mistake. Do you mind if I kiss her? No, go right ahead. Just what place you'd like to hear on this series? Your request is our command.
