[Assistant] As a design sketch, I think I'm going to do something different here. I'm going to draw the side and both the front and the rear. Make those changes. Something you normally, you could never see that, but if you look at this, it's going to look like you're looking at a front three quarter view. If you look at this, it'll look like you're looking at a rear three quarter view, but there's also a side view in the middle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never done a drawing like this, but we'll see how it works because this is basically just a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Concept sketch and I want to see what we can do with a different rear end and different front end. But the side view is basically going to stay very, very similar to the original car. I'm going to change some of the door lines and try and balance. There's a, there's a real vertical line here in the back. I want to bring that into the front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then bring that angle here. The door will get a little bit longer, but the way they opened up, it wouldn't make any difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure is a simple design with all that, uh, time machine paraphernalia off of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting that, uh, Back to the Future really made this car the icon that it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personally, I never thought of this car as a futuristic looking car. It was dated when it came out. It's clean. It's a simple design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not real sporty, but, you know, somewhat sporty. I think it was a little underpowered and, uh, way too expensive for it to do what he really wanted it to do, but he was fighting just to try to save the company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would have been interesting had this been successful or had the company been successful, what the next version might have been could have been something really cool if he'd have had the money to do what he really wanted to do. I think, uh, John DeLorean was a pretty smart guy, but I think he really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think his mouth got a little too big and he upset a lot of people that uh, ended up being the reason that he left and started his own car company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it was the case or not, but I think the choice to go with stainless steel, he was trying to save money on not having to have a paint shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think because of the characteristics of the material, he was very limited in what he could do with the material, and it really hurt the design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well there we have it. Famous because of his time travel, we can now see it front and rear at the same time. Just changing the front end and the rear end makes it a lot more contemporary and takes away from that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shall we say, inexpensive look. I think it looks a little cleaner, a little nicer. I would get rid of that black band that goes around the body and finish all the stainless and the work there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, then what I would do is bring that rubber fascia around the rear, bringing it up, but tying it all the way underneath and having that gray color also pick up on the bottom rather than the black that it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep that kind of a grayish silver tone and bring it in just in the rear and by angling that front bumper we can keep the stainless hood back far enough that we wouldn't have to have that big band going around the front. Just keep it all as the lower fascia underneath the grown headlights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the biggest change I made was the rubber fascia that was a giant cap on the front and the rear of the car. I'm keeping it on the rear, but I angled the tail lights in. Create that as kind of a hollow. Make it more of a linear design with the tail lights. Keep the DMC small in that rubber fascia front and rear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with the red stripe going all the way through, but by cutting the fenders and the hood back, angling the headlights and the grill,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of a, uh, cushion there with the bumper being out in front of the headlights and underneath them that you don't need that cap to go all the way up. You could just finish that sheet metal in a nice little radius. Have the headlights, the side marker and the grill just underneath the stainless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pulling it from underneath, wrapping it around, and then keeping that same color as a rocker, and then pulling it all the way around the rear. It's much cleaner than this big giant cap that was on the front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kept the going door, but I changed the cut line rather than being just that angle. I think it gets a little bit, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two push me, pull me looking there. And what I did is I took this line, tied it into the front fender and the top of the door, and then pull it around. So it has a better balance there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kept the stainless steel on this design because it is iconic. That's what we know the DeLorean to be. So I didn't change that. I wanted to keep it but make it work because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It never worked for me with these rubber fascias. But if we keep the rubber fascia underneath the headlight and the grill, I think it works much better. Don't mind it wrapping around the back. It has a very sporty look to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting that Jejaro, who designed the DeLorean, also did the M1 BMW. You can see some of the, uh, influences there. He also did the, uh, Yugo. I don't see the influences there other than maybe that front and rear cap. When you learn


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a designer's tastes are, you can see it when you see one car from another car to another car that he penned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up, Doc? We got your DeLorean here. I know you made it into a time machine, but is it timeless? Well, I think with a few alterations, it could be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that hobby guy and hobby dad won the challenge or do you think they failed? Put in the comments below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Annie Danaca tells us a beautiful story from Portland, Oregon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to have a lot of people against you. Some of the people that you thought were your friends and loved ones. And they're going to try and hold you back. And it's going to be sheer guts. Courage. It'll keep you going. Al did it. Mark did it. Annie Danaca did it. And so can you. Listen to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you've gotta have courage tacked on the idea. In the vernacular, it takes a lot of guts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were fortunate enough to have Paul Hutsey share his experience with us yesterday. You know, in that same meeting that I met Paul Hutsey in,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was living in LA at the time, and I'd come into Toronto to work the conventions for that company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was another gentleman and that man changed right in the meeting. He changed right in the meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He appeared to be phony. He said, I almost told him. But he said he never changed back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a young lady in the seminar there, and I'm gonna tell ya, she had her act put together. You could say she had her head screwed on right. Physically, she was quite an attractive lady. She, uh, did some of the work that you do, Scott. She worked on stage. She, uh, did commercials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the people around you are going to have to adapt to your new idea if they're going to accept you in their lane. And it's highly unlikely that they are going to adapt to see the people you've been associating up with up to now. They've been earning $18,000 a year out. I would imagine some of those people probably have quit talking to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Marriage is sitting there, his wife saying yeaah, that's right. Yeaah, they've quit talking to us. I experienced this. When my income took off, some people I thought were my friends quit talking to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course you're earning this money, what are you going to do with it? Well, I like spending it. My wife gets a bigger kick out of it than I do, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You buy a nice new car. They say, oh, you're a big shot now. And of course you probably want to live in a nice new home. What was the matter with the old one? Not good enough for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got to be prepared for this and you've got to develop mental strength because I'm going to tell you at first it hurts. It bothers you. They try and pull you back to where they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Annie was telling me about a time she went down on a call for a play and she went with a couple of her, what she thought were her girlfriends. She got the leading role in the play and the friends didn't even get in the supporting cast. I have never been in a play, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, my daughter has and one, Scott was musical director of and I watched them rehearse. I went over and I got to know the cast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no audience there to give you applause, there's nobody there but the director, the producer, the critique what you're doing and say that's not good enough, do it again, you know, do it different, do it better. That can be a little disheartening. Opening night is a big night. Big night. Now I know that intellectually, I don't really know it emotionally because I've never been in a play. But I watched them and they were excited. And of course afterwards there's a party for the cast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Colleen happened to be in this one. I was invited to the party and I was standing watching them and they were so enthused. They were excited. I mean, big deal. Well, opening night, a Vans play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that one that I'm referring to was Scott that Colleen was in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were members of the cast where their families flew in from the United States. Yours did as a matter of fact, Scott. I met his mother and his sister. I had breakfast with them after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had flown in from Colorado, another chap had his family flow in from Alberta. They come out to support them on opening night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hap wrote her this letter. She told me about it. She said, I'll send you a copy of it. I've given it to a few people. On occasion, she said, you didn't have permission to use it in the seminar. It is a classic. It is a classic. Now as I read this, I want you to keep this in mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you take that new idea, and you make up your mind you're gonna go right to the goal, you're not gonna be part of the 80%, you're gonna be the 20%. And you wanna remember this, Mark, don't let those kids pull you down. They're on the wrong track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cap said, Dear Anne, once upon a time there was a fellow by the name of Al Cap who wrote a comic strip called The Labner. Many years ago he had some characters in the strip who lived in a town near Dogpatch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their criticism and ridicule became so vehement that in time, the rest of the people in town became acutely conscious of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boys down at the stable as they were called because that's where they spent most of their time since at the social standards for the whole town. Nobody could do anything without their sanction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they live within the structure of their crummy little world, they would laugh and point their finger at anyone and everyone who tried to be better than he was. As a result, the people feared the ridicule of the boys down the stables so much so that they stopped trying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon everybody became bums, and the whole town died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said in every social structure and whether it's family, town, country or state, there are the boys down at the stable. They're the jealous ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Learn to recognize the man for what they are and don't let them hurt you. It takes a certain amount of toughness in here to succeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One has to rise above those who would tear you down so that they can laugh and say, I told you so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You aren't going to be, you aren't going to fall flat on your face as they would have you. You're going to do a superb job. Remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This show is only one small step in the direction of greater things you will do, many of which are beyond your wildest dreams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things I like about you best is that you always give it hell for try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The show will be a success because of you and others like you who try. There are only winners in the cast. The losers are gathered down at the stable, laughing and hoping for our failure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they attempt to cover up their own failures as human beings by laughing at others. In a sense, I'm sorry for they.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their guilt must make them very unhappy people. Much love and give them hell happy. What a letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I had known him. I can relate to this very, very well because I spent half my life as one of the boys down at the stable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I was fortunate like that elderly couple. I had somebody knock on my door and show me how to turn in a bigger bulb, illuminate my life to a greater degree. And I experienced people like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see what I did was I relate back, how did I react to these people? I reacted the same way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I had to recognize, yeaah, I was jealous. I was jealous. I was cynical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have come to the conclusion that as you study the laws of your being,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I found out as you give, you learn how to receive. And the more you give, the more you receive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it becomes simple and in fact natural to expect good things. Because you know how it works. You expect your car to run when you turn the key. And if it doesn't, you know there's a little problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if there's a signal comes to you that there's a problem, let's say a red light goes on in the dash. You don't take a screwdriver and knock the red light out of the dash and keep driving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we see a signal on our results, there's gotta be a correction made in here. Let's go inside, get under the hood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I mentioned a moment ago, we were fortunate enough to have Paul here yesterday. I'm going to ask Paul to come back down here. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paul, maybe we could just stand over here, alright? Now, I asked Paul to come down for a reason. John and I came up with an idea some time ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we've been working on this idea for a long time. Last night, uhm, having dinner with Paul, Paul talked about changing the number two to a candle. Because it represented light and light comes from inside. And I got thinking about this and I was thinking of a quote that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess you could say both John and I fell in love with quite a long time ago, and the quote kept playing on our mind and playing on our mind, and so we decided to develop an idea around it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, all of us who provide service and stand ready for sacrifice are the torchbearers. We run with the torches until we fall, content if we can pass them to the hands of the other runners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Paul provides a lot of service. I don't think he does, I know he does. And if you go throughout Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, Kansas, you're gonna say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he said, and stand ready for sacrifice. Well, now he's already told us he's got...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I asked Paul if he'd come up and share his experience with you and with all the people that are watching this sitting in their home or at work,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you know, most of us look at sacrifice as losing something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The true meaning of sacrifice is giving up something of a lower nature to receive something of a higher nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now John and I had an idea some time ago and we had someone, uh, design


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people, torchbearers, show them that there is compensation in service and sacrifice. And we only had two of these pins made, uhm, one for John and one for myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm going to tell you that was spontaneous. We were talking last night and I said the only time you give is when you don't think about it. It's just automatic. It's got to be spontaneous. You have to think about it, you're trading. Uhm, I know that John was, John didn't even know I was going to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about making Paul the first Torchbearer, but he didn't know I was gonna do that then, nor did I know he was gonna do that. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come down two or three more lines, staying on the left hand side. Put business line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come down a little further and put income.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can want things, you can see them and you can have them in your consciousness. If you don't plan them in here, you're not going to get them. And I want you to take some time and really think about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and the gentleman that was working on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, you know, he said, this is an excellent time of year to seed. He said it would come through in a week. I said, really? He said, there'd be a lot less work and an awful lot less expensive. I said, go ahead and seed it. And in a week, bang, that grass was out there. It took a week for that seed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All seeds have a gestation or an incubation period. I believe the seed for a baby is about 280 days. I have never seen a man coming home after


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like James Allen said, we wait as one who understands. When spirit rises and commands, God is ready to obey. There's a gestation period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You plant a seed for a carrot, I understand it takes 70 days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you cannot see that with your sensory factors, you've got to see it with an inner eye of understanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think you write very good music, Scott, when you're up tight and things are bothering you and you've got real pressing problems. You see, tension tires, relaxation rests and renews. Relaxation opens the chakras and lets the power flow freely through you. And that's really what you are as a channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just think because they've changed vocations, they've changed towns, they've changed spouses, they've changed clothes, they've changed cars, that everything's gonna happen. Uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same way you design how your table is going to be set. The same way you design how to make that dress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said, what you were yesterday, you paid for. What you are today, you decide upon. That's exactly what True Word's saying. This power in no way is limited by precedent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even in a creative state, we sometimes don't understand that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know why airplanes, right up to today almost, have wings on them? Because birds have wings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gonna get a plane to fly. You gotta put wings on it. Do you? No. We've got planes flying without wings today. You know why? Never did need wings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said in other words, this universal creative power creates a creative direction from the idea or image that you impress upon it. It's just sitting there and it's waiting and saying whatever you ask for, I'll give you. Before you speak, I'll hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, is that just a nice little piece of Scripture? Before you speak, I'll hear. Well, let's analyze it from a logical point of view. What precedes the spoken word, the thought? What's the thought set up? It sets up the vibration. What does this work by? By vibration, movement. See, one of the laws of the universe is vibration. Everything vibrates, nothing rests. Everything from the electron to the universe is in a state of movement. Before you speak, I'll hear. The sound of God evolves around the law of vibration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if the book you've got has nothing on the next page, but that page is blank. If you want to take a number, the next, the next page, both sides of the next page, would you take a number of that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, I'm going to treat me the way God meant me to treat me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did his wife benefit? I guess she did. Did his daughter benefit? I guess she did. Did his manager benefit? I guess he did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he sacrifice her? He was out lots of evenings when he could have been home. Think about it. Think about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The character with which this sensitive reproductive power is invested will become the most important consideration for you. Your thoughts, you will start to guard them. You'll start to monitor them. You're going to start to really pay close attention to what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And once you become aware of this truth that the universal creative power can only be what you feel and think it to be, it will become eager and willing to do your bidding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say this understanding will enable you to be filled with the expectant attitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to expect the materialization of the image will become most natural for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know that if you put this particular tape on and play it every day for at least a month, there's so much depth to this idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you go and you raise your consciousness and you go up to the tenth floor. And you go to the east wall and you look. But it's different. It's much more beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And ultimately if you'll keep listening to this and watching it and thinking it and relating it to your own life, you're going to work your way to the roof and you'll see as far as your eyes can take you. It's like Paul told me one time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, go as far as you can see. When you get there, you'll see how to go further.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Troward said, if you think your thoughts powerful, it's powerful. Let's stroke from our vocabulary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something absolutely phenomenal. When you're talking about you, you can speak in superlatives all day long and you're going to fall short of describing the dynamics of you. Talk about something special. You're sure special, believe me. I know I'm special. I think I'm a nice person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you know something? It's because I know that and think that that I attract nice people into my life. I've got some phenomenal friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were talking about Shirley Laverdi, a national sales manager. And I was saying last night at dinner, I said, you know something? I have never heard that woman complain. I've never heard her say anything negative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was saying to Paul, we were with Gina and Randy, and I said, you know something? I said, they work at this company as if it's theirs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It means your innermost thoughts, that's a place where no one but you knows the truth, your sanctum sanctorum. That's where you go to the closet and you close the door. Inside. That is what you expect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is what you will attract, and that is what you will ultimately get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All things are possible in spirit because it's an original state. Spirit is a sensitive, unseen, creative substance whose sole purpose is expansion and fuller expression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But spirit or creative substance can only reproduce, expand, or express itself in a greater way in accordance with the limitations placed upon the instrument through which it expresses itself. It's like the light bulb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, don't expect God to do for you what God can only do with and through you. Powerful line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flows to and through the seed and expresses itself in its polar opposite physical form, namely the plant or the tree. I want to take a minute. We are running a little late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take a look at the third paragraph on the bottom of page 37. Spirit can only express itself through the medium of an acorn in accordance with the limitations placed on the acorn. And the medium of the acorn is limited by the pattern plan or the nucleus in the seed. Now, I want you to really think. I want you to imagine that that's an acorn. That acorn is not solid. It is moving. It is actually moving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at the present time, that acorn would be disintegrating because it can only do one of two things, create or disintegrate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you think I suggested to Brian to get in with the big hitters?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say that's the acorn. And we plant the acorn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I took a drop of peanut oil and a drop of water and moved it together, what would happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll never find an oak tree in an acorn. You can dissect it with the most powerful microscope you'll ever get your hands on. You'll never find an oak tree in it. Do you know why? There isn't one there. The oak tree's in the universe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where does everything come from? Everything just is. Everything is an expression of the same thing. Everything, all supply comes from one infinite source, a non-physical source. Same as your money, your health, and everything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never has, never will. Get locked into your idea and stay in that vibration regardless of what's happening. I've often said you'd have to put a great big bullet right through here to get me to stop doing what I'm doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to do anything else. I mean, in my mind a long time ago, this is what I was going to do and I was going to work at getting better at it every day. Lock into something. Find something you love to do and dedicate your life to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do it like they play a yo-yo. It's up and down, up and down, and I throw the yo-yo away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never master it. Do you know the average person reads at a grade 7 level? We learn to read by the time we're in grade 7 and never improve upon the skill. Very few people ever master anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to suggest that through the repetition of listening and looking and watching this, you're going to master whatever you love to do. Go and do it. Get the courage to step out and do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said, when you do that, it will attract to you all things requisite to the fulfillment of that picture, and it will attract it by the harmonious vibration, the law of attraction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If nothing's created or destroyed, you've got to get on the same frequency as the good that you desire is on. There's music in this room right now. You don't hear it, but it's here.

[Assistant] If I brought in a little transistorized radio and turned it on, you'd hear the music. Did I invite the music in, or did I tune into something that was already here?

[Assistant] Me, I've never liked poverty. Never. Even when I lived in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three certain steps for prosperity in all areas of your life on page 39. Number one, build the image. That's plugging in the bigger bulb so that you can illuminate your life in a greater way. Turn it over to spirit. Turn it over to spirit. Let go and let John.

[Assistant] Believe it's coming and it'll come. Just let go and let God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God's everywhere, He's everything. We'll work through you, we'll give you whatever you want. But you've got to ask for it. And you ask in the form of feelings. Number three, expect. Well if you take this lesson,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything that you need to receive the good that you desire is already here. Pat and John found that out. They believed, they got in harmony with the good that they desired, and it came to them. Just like with the acorn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The oak trees and the universe. The pattern plan is in the acorn. When you build the image of what you want, that's the pattern plan in your life. It puts you into the necessary vibration to attract what you have to attract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is raise our level of awareness so the expectation becomes a natural state for our mind to be in. And we've already mentioned


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're starting off here saying the law of vibration explains the difference between mind and matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Between the physical state and the non-physical state of everything in the universe which includes you. So we're talking about the non-physical and here we're, the non-physical and here we're talking about the physical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, it appears to be solid, but it's really not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course that would be the same with every physical form that you might look at under a microscope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their thought waves are in resonance or in harmonious vibration on the same frequency as certain cells in your brain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you phone and they'll say, oh thank goodness you phoned. We've been wanting to talk to you. Do you think that's an accident?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, it's the same thing when you pick up the phone to phone someone. You haven't touched the dial, uhm, the phone hasn't rang, and yet the other person's on the other end. We put that off as coincidence and we laugh about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an absolute law. You are in tune with the other person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were coming under and talking about these three parts of our personality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we related it to energy. I held up a glass of water and I said, in the state of vibration it was in, the energy was called water. Then we talked about heating the water. We called the same energy steam. It wasn't water any longer. And then we continued to heat the energy and then we called it air, ether, gas. It was the same energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's let these lines here represent levels of vibration where we could refer to them a different way, levels of consciousness. Now we're going to take this bottom line and make it a little heavier. We'll put a couple of arrows on it. And then we will write the word self.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the opposite page to the law of vibration and attraction that you make a drawing like this. Now underneath, we'll write the word simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now everything below this line is going to be referred to as a simple conscious state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This line is referred, and everything above, as a self stage of consciousness. Now, what we're dealing with are levels of vibration in consciousness. An animal is in a simple state of consciousness. We could have a little dog here on the set, and the dog would know it's on the set, but it doesn't know it knows it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A dog operates, as you and I do, with sensory factors, and they are to help the person communicate with their outside world, but they're not operating with any intellectual factors. They operate with instinct, which is perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the dog knows and yet knows not. It's able through its sensory factors to look at its outside world but not able to look at its inner world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until you reach the higher state, which is called divine or cosmic. Use whatever word you choose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All religions that have maintained their balance over any period of time are founded on the premise that we will one day be one with our maker. We will reach this higher or divine conscious state. We will be aware of our oneness with this power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, they have a very low level of what we call awareness. Now the awareness dictates how that person lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you would say, well, they're stupid. No, they're not stupid. Some of these people have degrees. Some may have a doctorate's degree or an MBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not living there because they want to. They're living there because they do not know. They are not aware of how to change it. You will find then individuals


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some are up in years, some are fairly young that have a very high level of consciousness. They're not a way down here with their consciousness. They have a very high level of consciousness and they have a very, very high level of awareness. Now these people have a phenomenal vibration. Their energy, you feel so good around them. There's something about them that you're attracted to. You're not quite sure what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything they do, they seem to do very, very well. They're very creative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, let's suppose a person is on this level of consciousness. The only thing that person could attract is what's on that level, or on that frequency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Consciousness, vibration, frequencies, we're talking about the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a person is alone and lonely, they're not alone and lonely because they want to be. They're alone and lonely because they're not aware of how to change it. Now what you and I are really seeking


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a higher level of awareness. And you know that's what we're gaining as we're studying this material. The more often you watch this, the more you're raising your level of consciousness. Now what you're really doing is raising your level of awareness. And we're going to get to the point where we're very, very tuned in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We say the law of vibration could be explained in many ways for various purposes. In this seminar, it is our intention to confine it to thoughts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the more we understand this, the more we'll understand what I'm saying here. Because everything vibrates. So what we want to do is get into harmonious vibration with whatever good we desire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must go back to this basic premise which we started with in the very first lesson, where I held the glass of water and talked about the energy. We called it water, we called it steam, we called it air, ether, gas. It was the same energy, it was just altering its level of vibration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we say, energy is neither created nor destroyed. All science and all theology have taught us that for, let's say for the past 6,000 years at least in recorded history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, everything is merely in a constant state of vibration being manifest in all varying degrees of vibration. We have the ability to alter the vibratory rate of anything. I could take and alter the vibratory rate of this lectern. Call it lucite, I could turn it into air, ether, gas. I did that yesterday with the dollar bill. Just one minute it was paper, boom, the next minute it was air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How's that controlled? It's controlled by the various ideas that I will choose to entertain from time to time, uh, build here and plant here. Because whatever goes in here dictates the vibration my mind-body is in. And we must understand mind-body are one and the same. Not two. Not two. Now with free will. Reason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We say the lack of ability to exercise this tremendous power for good is caused by ignorance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now remember I put knowledge over here and I said through study you develop understanding. Let's look at the polar opposite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't have the understanding of how to control what's going on on the inside by blocking out what's going on on the outside. Now if a person is in this psychic state, that's called a mental disease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That fear energy has to be expressed through the only instrument it can be expressed through the physical body. Instantly and automatically the body moves into a vibration more commonly known as anxiety. Now the anxiety we usually treat with valium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the anxiety, of course, moves into dis-ease, which moves into decay. It's like St. Clair Lewis one time said, we don't die, we kill ourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the polar opposite to this? Well, with an understanding of this, of this law, of this expectant concept that we've discussed, with what John's going to tie in here now to our goals, you never have to worry about whether you're going to reach your goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George Bernard Shaw said people are always blaming circumstance for what they are. He said, I don't believe in circumstance. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up, look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them. They have their understanding, they can do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The faith must manifest on the physical plane as health or well-being. Now this could be in our social life, could be a healthy body, healthy bank account, healthy business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let, let there be light. You'll never force light. Light is consciousness. Force negates. Force only works in the physical plane of life, on the mental plane. You have to let it happen. You just let it flow into your consciousness. Flip over to page 42.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were using Nino's office as an example. It's got a lot of heavy hitters in there, big producers, positive people, people with high expectation with real worthy goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I introduced Grant Sylvester yesterday and, uh, I, I do a lot of work with their company. They got a big company. It's an effective company. That company started four years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With financial planning centers, they have about 90 centers now across Canada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first centre started about four years ago in Moncton, New Brunswick. Don McKay and Fern Robichaud started that centre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most people would expect to maybe earn a profit in the first two or three years. They'd think that was pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These two men earned a quarter of a million dollars the first year in business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did they do it? It doesn't matter where you are outside, it's like Paul said, it's where you are inside. Don McKay and Fern Robichaud, expect the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grant Sylvester and the executives in that company expect to attract people that want to open businesses and they attract them. And the people are very successful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In other words, you're choosing negative ideas, you're worrying, fear and anxiety. You know the only thing you can attract? The people that are vibrating on that frequency. You're gonna attract other negative people. Misery loves company. That just isn't a cute saying. Birds of a feather flock together. Now if you're a heavy-header, understand this. Eagles don't flock. Sparrows do. Big difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if you're not one, how do you become one? Mix with them. You choose your environment. That's exactly what I did. 27 years ago, I was sitting in a bar here in Toronto. That's where I spent most of my time and all my money that I could beg, borrow and steal. I very rarely earned very much in those days. One day I picked up a glass and I looked at it and I looked around. I thought they're all bums in here. They were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I put the glass down, I said, I'm never coming back as long as I live. And I never have. I never have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To any other key on the piano, just the one. Music is vibration I think, isn't it Scott? That's what it is. Why do you think music will make you feel so good sometimes? Why do you think music will get you jumpy and make you want to dance? Why? Vibration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It affects cells in your brain, puts you in a new vibration. You want to act differently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that when you grasp this idea,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of your pred uses will disappear. It'll disappear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like the negative consciousness we're going to show you in the next lesson. They'll disappear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know why they'll disappear? Because of understanding. It's the removing of ignorance. Now read this last paragraph carefully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the world understands this truth, that everything is an expression of the same thing, we will see that all people are the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dividing lines are not borders, color or language, but ignorance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We may see a black man and a white woman, or a white woman and a black man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Know what I enjoy watching when I see that? I enjoy watching the people around. Watch the expressions on their faces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The shock, the anger, the horror. Do you know what they're expressing? Ignorance. It's them that is in the bad vibration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have got some real crazy ideas. How do we get these ideas? Well, I remember when I was a little boy, you know, in the little life that John talked about yesterday, I can remember my grandmother. She was a dear old lady. I loved her. I can remember her saying, well, they're Catholics, but they're nice people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We say everything is an expression of the same thing. Now we're repeating ourselves just different ways, but I want you to take time and read these paragraphs carefully. Re-listen to these tapes. Watch these videos over and over and over again and tie it in with what we're saying here and it's going to take on a different meaning. In the second paragraph,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether you can see it with the naked eye or not is unimportant. The only difference between one thing and another is in density or amplitude of vibration. That is the only difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you choose certain thoughts, brain cells are affected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They vibrate and send off electric waves. When you are concentrating on those thoughts, you increase the amplitude of vibration of those cells and the electric waves become much more potent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you may have a piece of paper, some leaves, or you might even have your hand there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How? You increase amplitude of vibration. The rays become much more potent. They become hotter and like that. Let's take a candle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's suppose I put a sign way over here on the wall. We turn out all the lights and I light the candle and ask you to read the sign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd say I'm not able to, and I'd say why. You'd say there's not enough light. That would appear to be the correct answer, but it would be wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason you're not able to read the sign is because the light is not being directed at the sign. Now if I took exactly the same candle power and I confined it in a flashlight and I held the flashlight towards the sign, you'd be able to read it with ease. See, well the candles here, some of the light's going on you, some on me, all over the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Misdirected. We got enough power, we misdirect it. We think of too many unimportant things, our minds shooting all over the place. The average individual would have more ideas running across their mind in a matter of a minute than you'd find in the Encyclopedia Britannica. Just total loss of control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must also know that since you are originating these electric waves, your whole being is in that particular vibration. Now think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only energy those brain cells can take on is a like energy to that which you're sending off. You focus on the negatives in another person. What kind of energy do you think you're taking on? What kind of a vibration do you think you're in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might be a wise idea to focus on the good aspects of even the worst situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could have got upset when the yo-yo string broke, or I could laugh at myself. I've got a choice. One time I wasn't able to laugh at myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have had magnificent instruments that's been used in the medical profession for years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And these magnificent instruments do nothing but measure vibration. The brain, the heart. And they'll tell you whether you're healthy or whether you are moving into trouble. Do you know how they can tell? By the vibration you're in. By the vibration you're in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't particularly like the idea of going because it was time consuming and who wants to run on a conveyor belt for a half hour. They'd have you running up and down stairs and jumping up and off and down steps and then they laid down and they'd wire you up. You see, they would put the selective cardiograph on you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Relaxation, meditation, concentration for a long, long time. And rather than take a long time, because I was in a rush, I just instantly returned myself to a normal state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We want to understand that the brain is that electronic instrument that controls the nervous system throughout the body, which is the electrical system in the body. You've heard of people having nervous breakdowns? No such thing. A person had a nervous breakdown, they'd be a puddle on the floor. The nervous system is the electrical system that keeps the body intact. They lose conscious control. Conscious control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do not understand how to control this magnificent electrical instrument that they live in. Your body is the most phenomenal object on planet Earth, in the cosmos as far as I'm concerned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alter vibration. Or as I was saying with Scott and the music, create new vibration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as you focus in on page 46, I'm going to ask that you focus on your goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And relate it to the goal. Don't just listen to it as information. Let this information mean something to you and take all the ideas that he's going to come across and direct it towards the object or the thing that you truly desire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dr. Ken McFarland, the late Dr. McFarland, the great educator, he said anything's possible if the motivation is strong enough. You'll remember Heinz-Dazs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How his circumstances were not too favorable. He thought he was going to lose his house. Well, Heinz was sitting in the seminar. His fantasy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Became a theory. Heinz's fantasy, even though he was having difficulty maintaining his home, was to drive a new Cadillac.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was while he was sitting in the seminar that his fantasy literally became a theory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heinz took that theory and turned it into a fact in a short 21-day


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of the suggestions we make in the seminar may seem immature, they may seem childish. Heinz Dazs was a mature human being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he took the suggestions that we gave and he followed through on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He literally got a photograph of himself sitting in an automobile. Now that photograph had a real impact on Heinz's brain and ultimately on his mind and he accomplished that goal in a relatively short period of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a photograph of yourself. There's a suggestion that you're born rich. You're a prosperous person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what we want to suggest is that you get a photograph of yourself with your goal. It might be a new home. Shop around, pick out the place you like, stand in front of it, and get your photograph taken. Go and sit in an automobile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get the picture of yourself, literally a physical picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And hold that picture in your mind. Look at it as often as possible. Now John Canary is going to talk to you about the importance of vibrations and goals. Vibration is everything. That's what the picture does. It puts you in the vibration. Listen to John as he elaborates on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may want to review that part that John just covered and most certainly reread page forty-six and jot down the notes that come to your mind as you relate the message or the ideas on that page about vibration and goals to your own specific situation. We've given you some suggestions on other goals. We've suggested trips, cars. It may be furs or jewelry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watch this and then prepare yourself as we bring this in for a landing on the last cassette. There's some interesting information that I think you'll even find fascinating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mariam Baji,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yaar, baas kartein ab yaar. Api ka bhi dhyaan nahi hai. Aur waise bhi mujhe bhi bhi... ...neend aa rahi hai. Tujhe neen nahi hai, tohne baayi jaana hai. Baaran jo bhaj gayi hai. Tu mera baana bana kar, theek hai na? Apne kaam se kaam rakhakaar.

[Assistant] Okay.

[Assistant] Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yaar, pyaar toh main bhi bhot karta hu. Lekin jo Pakistan match har jate na, toh mujhe bada gusta hota hai.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I gotta admit, we did hope that you'd stick around a little bit longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing, Kurtz, to be strong doesn't always mean to be right. You see the mother


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll tell you, I knew nothing about my son's work in the underground movement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the illegal radio, which spreads seditious lies against the state, has been silenced forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please, both of you come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your own maid has testified that you had to make these loyal statements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She turned to Minnie. Honey, I'm gonna have to be getting on. I know I got a lot of explaining to do, so I think I better get on home. She stood up and opened her purse. Porky, how much is a half a fourth? $30, Terry, but for you, baby, I'll let you have it for 25. Terry counted the money out slowly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remembering the promise she had made herself earlier, she justified her behavior by telling herself she would slowly cut down her wage until she could buy some medicine to help her kick. Porky disappeared into the bedroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After closing the door behind him, he removed a small piece of tin foil and began dumping a measured amount of dope into it. Then he took some pure heroin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smokey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sitting on the bed staring into space, watched his movements indifferently. She knew what he was doing and why he was doing it, and had she attempted to think about it, she would have known what girl he was fixing the potion for. When he finished, he pointed towards the dope. Don't collect but $25 for it. It goes to Terry. Smokey carried out the dope and gave it to Terry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terry turned around to call Minnie, but changed her mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big Ed, one of Porky's protectors, got up to let her out. The gun resting under his left arm swung conspicuously as he leaned down and peeked through people in the door before allowing her to leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big Ed was only one of the gunmen that Porky hired to protect him from the addicts. Without protection, the addicts would have stuck him up every day without fail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the time, his gunmen would be addicts who were known for being vicious and who had the nerve to shoot if so pressured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would just rotate as the mood hit them. Whenever they felt like it was getting time for a fix, they would trade places with one of the gunmen who had been up all night. That was the main thing about Porky's Dope House. It never closed. Dope was sold 24 hours a day. Terry made her way down the stairs. She staggered when she got to the bottom. Damn, she murmured. This show is a good blow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She made her way to her car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before the light changed, she had dropped the cigarette in her lap twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her eyes tried to close, but she fought the desire to nod and drove slowly on. She parked in front of her house and climbed out. There was no worry now, only a desire to get an unpleasant chore over with. When she entered the house, her parents were sitting in the front room waiting for her. They stared at her curiously. She leaned against the wall and stared back at them. Her father had a solemn look on his face, while her mother,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs Breeding called and told us some very unpleasant news, and we'd like to hear your side of this. I knew it! I knew it! Terry shrilled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cold and calculating, Terry stared at her parents. She knew she had her mother won over already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't do nothing but try and help this girl I used to go to school with daddy. She came in the store and I could see she was sick, you know? I think she uses that stuff, you know, what they call it, dope. Terry could tell by their faces that they were buying it wholeheartedly. Well, anyway, mother, the girl was pregnant and I felt sorry for her. So when she put these dresses in her box, I couldn't bring myself to call the floorwalker on her. So I just let her go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She stopped to catch her breath. Her parents faces were shining with hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanted to believe her so badly that for a moment she felt regret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uuuh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a moment she felt like throwing herself in her mother's arms and telling her all of it, how she wished she were a young girl again, so she could lie in her father's protecting arms with no worry in the world. Her mother spoke up hesitantly. Mrs. Breeding gave us the impression that it was a little different, Terry. A flash of anger shot through her. For a second, she really believed she was the injured one. Mrs. Breeding, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terry caught herself in time. She'd almost said shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll tell you about Mrs. Breedy. Do you know how many times I've seen her catch white girls stealing and let them go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uuuh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her mother came to Mrs. Breeding's defense as Terry knew she would. Now, Terry, you know she lets young colored girls go, too, if she believes they've been scared enough. Terry snorted. Well, she didn't want to let this young pregnant colored girl go today. She turned to her father. Anyway, Daddy, you know what I mean? You run into the same thing out there where you work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why people do what they want to do, while you do what they tell you to do. Her father nodded his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that about covers it, daddy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I had been a white girl instead of just some poor black nigga, they wouldn't have done anything. Just chewed me out about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't nobody but common-ass Negroes use that word in regards to themselves. It takes the lowest form of humanity to be stupid enough to call themselves something that the dictionary defines as lowlife.

[Assistant] Suddenly ashamed at having cursed in front of the two women he loved more than life itself, he walked over and patted his daughter affectionately, but clumsily on the shoulder. Don't worry about a thing, Terry. You can find another job whenever you get ready. And if you don't want to work, we'll make out. She turned quickly and started for the stairs. She didn't want them to see the tears that sprang up in her eyes. As she stumbled up the stairway,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She felt disgusted with herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she reached the top of the stairs tears were running down her cheeks unchecked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terry sat on her bed, her head bowed, completely ashamed of her behavior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She scooped up a large amount of the white poison and snorted it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She seemed to be watching her motions from a distance outside her body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was as though someone else were snorting the drug, and she was just an innocent bystander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is that stuff? What in the world are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing it before his eyes but not yet wanting to believe what he saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My god, this can't be you, Terry. Why, some kid brought up in the slum, yes, I could understand that. But not you, Terry. Not you!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you ain't never wanted for nothing. I used to work two jobs so that you and your mother could have anything you wanted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me that stuff, Terry! Give it here!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She jumped to the end of the bed, clutching the heroin to her bosom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her eyes were dilating with fear, while her nose seemed to expand with each breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her mother stood against the door staring dumbfounded, her hand clutching at her heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She repeated over and over as though it were a song. It ain't true, honey. Not my little girl. Tell me it ain't true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know good little bitch!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome! Oh yeaah, lightning's ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd seen pictures of the creature before, but pictures didn't come close to capturing how horrible it was in real life. The set animal, Bost said, confirming my fear. Far below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The creature prowled the base of the monument, leaving tracks in the new fallen snow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had trouble judging its size, but it must have been at least as big as a horse, with legs just as long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had an unnaturally lean, muscled body with shiny reddish gray fur. You could almost mistake it for a huge greyhound, except for the tail and the head. The tail was reptilian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they were shaped more like ice cream cones, curled inward and wider on the top than the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could rotate almost 360 degrees so they could hear anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The creature's snout was long and curved like an anteater's. Only anteaters don't have razor sharp teeth. Its eyes are glowing, I said. That can't be good. How can you see that far? Sadie demanded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She stood next to me, squinting at the tiny figure in the snow, and I realized she had a point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The animal was at least 500 feet below us. How was I able to see its eyes? You still have the sight of the falcon. Bostgest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're right, Carter. The glowing eyes mean the creature has caught our scent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked at her and almost jumped out of my skin. Her hair was sticking


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her tired face just got more confused. What? But I couldn't say anymore. There was no point. I would never be able to save her from herself. I'd never been able to do that. Then she blinked, and I could see she got it. Oh. Ah. Please, Jacob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think I should kill my baby and replace it with some generic substitute? Artificial insemination? She was mad now. Why would I want to have some stranger's baby? I suppose it just doesn't make a difference. Any baby will do. I didn't mean that. I muttered. Not a stranger. She leaned forward. Then what are you saying? Nothing. I'm saying nothing. Same as ever. Where did that come from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forget it, Bella. She frowned, suspicious. Did he tell you to say that? I hesitated, surprised that she'd made that leap so quick. No? He did, didn't he? No, really. He didn't say anything about artificial whatever. Her face softened then, and she sank back against the pillows, looking exhausted. She stared off to the side when she spoke, not talking to me at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would do anything for me, and I'm hurting him so much. But what is he thinking? That I would trade this? Her hand traced across her belly. For some strangers, she mumbled the last part, and then her voice trailed off. Her eyes were wet. You don't have to hurt him, I whispered. It burned like poison in my mouth to beg for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her hand made small circles on her battered stomach while she chewed on her lip. It was quiet for a long time. I wondered if the Collins were very far away. Were they listening to my pathetic attempts to reason with her? Not a stranger? She murmured to herself. I flinched. What exactly did Edward say to you? She asked in a low voice. Nothing. He just thought you might listen to me. Not that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About trying again. Her eyes locked on mine, and I could see that I had already given too much away. Nothing. Her mouth fell open a little. Wow. It was silent for a few heartbeats. I looked down at my feet again, unable to meet her stare. He really would do anything, wouldn't he? She whispered. I told you he was going crazy, literally bells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried to grin back, but I could feel the smile mangle on my face. She knew what I was offering, and she wasn't going to think twice about it. I'd known that she wouldn't, but it still stung. There isn't much you wouldn't do for me either, is there? She whispered. I really don't know why you bother. I don't deserve either of you. It makes no difference though, does it? Not this time, she sighed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I could explain it to you right so that you would understand. I can't hurt him, she pointed to her stomach, any more than I could pick up a gun and shoot you. I love him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you always have to love the wrong things, Bella? I don't think I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cleared the lump out of my throat so that I could make my voice hard like I wanted it. Trust me. I started to get to my feet. Where are you going? I'm not doing any good here. She held out her thin hand, pleading. Don't go. I could feel the addiction sucking at me, trying to keep me near her. I don't belong here. I've got to get back. Why did you come today? She asked, still reaching limply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to see if you were really alive. I didn't believe you were sick like Charlie said. I couldn't tell from her face whether she bought that or not. Will you come back again? Before- I'm not going to hang around and watch you die, Bella.

[Assistant] A couple of weeks later, Kamran Asipan joined the professor for a beer at a local pub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although he did not show it to the ugly little man across from him, there was an article in the paper that upset him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the article he had learned that a mysterious woman wearing all black had boarded the evening boat going abroad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Several people approached her to ask if she was feeling well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had lain down across several seats, as if dead, tired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The captain of the boat decided that she needed to see a doctor immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing to show that she had been there was her wedding ring. It was found on the seat where she had been lying. On the inside of the ring was written the date, June 24th, 1879.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little while later, one of the boat workers found the body of the same woman floating in the water of the English Channel. Ever since he had read that article, Ossipan could not feel good about himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He began to drink a great deal and he could no longer look at women his favorite victims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The news of Mrs. Verloc's suicide was slowly driving him crazy. Look at you, said the professor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're lucky you've got so much money and you can't even enjoy it. You make me sick. Will you take the money? He asked the professor. The ugly little man laughed to himself and then said, I'll tell you what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are a few materials that I need for some of my bomb projects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll make a list of what I need and you just get the stuff for me. How's that?" Asipan did not answer, but simply put his head in his hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They then paid the bill and walked out into the filthy streets of London. One of them full of pain and guilt, the other full of hatred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The professor with the bomb placed neatly inside of his coat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turned down a dark narrow street and headed toward his home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He seemed nothing more than a strange little ugly man to the people who passed him along the way. But he was, of course, much more than that. He was death walking among the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being a girl in the gaming community, like, I've gone through...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of it. Being labeled as an attention whore, which admittedly I was when I was 18. I probably still am to some extent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not helping girls get into the gaming community at all by using terminology like rape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, can you tell us how it felt when you were possessed by Gao?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, my closet's definitely a hot mess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just can't get a signal. Why's that, yo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're heading to the 5-0, yo. By taking the Mirage card by force, Wisdom broke the law. As soon as we notify the Buddy Police, we'll join you in the search for bots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aww, you're just too smart. Borrow bots, Drago Royale the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That stupid dragon saves me the hassle of taking him there myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when she gets tired, she just sits down and my car stops. The mail carrier shouted


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ought to be ashamed of yourselves, buying the elephant at your age. It's all a dreadful mistake. The farmer began.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just then Nellie wrapped her dusty trunk lovingly around his neck and looked down at him sadly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you write elegant pants when you rode to the mail-order house? Why? Maybe I did, said the farmer. And I was rather sleepy. Perhaps I read my words together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes the work gets pretty heavy for the horses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd have to get rid of the horses and the cows too. She'd eat so much hay. I'll get rid of them if I have to, said the farmer. Nelly stays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the farmer's wife knew that she was married to a very obstinate man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she threw up her hand and went back to the kitchen and made a blueberry pie and a chocolate cake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have one question for you guys before we bring on Tim Couch here. Steve, punch up Tagboard real quick. This was from Josina this morning. We kinda touched on it, but she tweeted out that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I just want to double down on that point. Oh, I do with all the guests, making sure they're booked, they know what time they're coming on. Tim, you are like the nicest person in the world. I had my phone on connected to the Alexa the other day. I had a friend over when he texted us on Sunday saying, Hey man, I'm so sorry. I can't make it Monday. You know, can we do another day this week? It read out loud. And my friend goes, who's that? Tim couch. You mean like the Tim couch, the quarterback?

I know Madden is a video game, but Jamar Chase isn't among the top 10 rated receivers in Amari Cooper is, and I don't understand how in any capacity in any universe, any respectable way that they say.

[Assistant] Cubs were down. Well, I'm not gonna hate that. Everyone in this World Series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of a mix. I got some of both. Some of both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number four. Number four. This is a game comeback. Tim's a basketball guy. Had to throw at least a couple of basketball ones in here. This is the best NCAA tournament comeback of all time. Steve, take it. Texas A&M versus Northern Iowa a couple of years ago in 2016. They were down 12 points with 43 seconds left in the game. Came back and won. But you know what? That's embarrassing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead, let's see the other ones. This is back to a series, Red Sox down 3-0 to the Yankees in the ALCS. First time a team in Major League Baseball history has come back from a 3-0 deficit and then they ended the curse. Very impressive, historic, but again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe we should have clarified that, you know, we got a workshop. But alright, the next one is a series. The final one is a game. This is when Cleveland in 2016 was down 3-1 to the Warriors. Once again, had never been done before than the block. And I think the block makes this as iconic as almost any comeback ever except number one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, alright, Super Bowl. Fair enough. According to Statmuse, A&M's comeback was the single most improbable comeback in sports history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're working with Curtis. If you request an Austin Hedges thing, I'm sure we can make that happen. You think? So, with that being said, it's a little good bet bad bet. Yeaah. We didn't get to it yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do have yesterday's results. Bull you went 2-1, Jay went 3-0, G. Bush 1-2, which brings us to the standings, which is very interesting once again. Bull's pulling out to a big lead here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So today's bets are all based on tonight's American League versus National League All-Star Game. Two Guardians starting. Jimenez, the youngest starter in the infield in quite a while. I don't have the exact number in front of my face, but I'll pull that up in a sec. Uh, the first bet, the American League underdog by a run and a half. Let's take it, Steve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over 11 and a half strikeouts for the AL pitching staff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is the last one, the same splits, it's still Bull and Jay, G and Polk on the same team here. Come on Bull, I can't pick up any grind if you keep


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah. On last Monday or last Tuesday show, we highlighted a guy at a guardians game who was beyond impressive, making it up and down the stairs 12 times with cowboy boots, all in cowboy boots and Daisy Dukes. Tall boy after tall boy. That actually was relatively athletic for something unathletic. Today,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to shame myself. Oh. And put myself on the hot seat. Cause I did something beyond unathletic this week. Nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't buy nice sunglasses. I lose them all the time. I do too. I do. So I buy the $5 cheap glasses at Walmart and just rotate through those. Right. Until I moved here and he said, you know what? I got a nice little raise when I got here. I'm gonna treat myself. So I bought a nicer pair of sunglasses. I went to the beach this weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a lob that came to me perfectly. And I got cocky. And I went to spike the crap out of this. I swung and missed. It hit my sunglasses. Steve, take the picture. Here are the sunglasses right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here they are. I swung and missed. You can see I broke the side of the sunglasses. They won't reattach. I am devastated. And to make matters worse, my buddy Afro Pat was in town this weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, what's his nickname? Afro Pat. Story please? He's a giant dude with a giant afro. He's just been an afro pat. I'll show you a picture after the show. Great guy. No one gives me more crap for anything than afro pat. And if there was one person I would not want to have been there to see that happen. It was afro pat. He hasn't stopped texting me since. We all have an afro pat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, have you ever seen the Edgewater Court? They're not like full size. Oh, okay. It's like a rec- yeah, it's very recreational. Oh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up tomorrow, Mikey? Steve, let's take the tag, where we got a big show tomorrow. Big. Big show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I activated the obelisk at Luxor. Was that her or me? Both dear, Bast said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and Carter have great abilities on your own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the power of the gods has hastened your development and given you an extra reservoir to draw on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would have taken you years to learn, you've accomplished in days. The more you channel the power of the gods, the more powerful you will become. And the more dangerous it gets, I guessed. The magicians told us, hosting the gods can burn you out, kill you, drive you crazy. Bast fixed her eyes on me. Just for a second, they were the eyes of a predator. Ancient, powerful, dangerous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not everyone can host a guard, Carter. That's true. But you two are both blood of the pharaohs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You combine two ancient bloodlines that's very rare, very powerful, and besides,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you think you can survive without the power of the gods, think again. Don't repeat your mother's... She stopped herself. What? Sadie demanded. What about our mother? I shouldn't have said that. Tell us, cat! Sadie said. I was afraid Bast might unsheathe her knives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When your parents released me from Cleopatra's needle, there was much more energy than they expected. Your father spoke the actual summoning spell, and the blast would have killed him instantly, but your mother threw up a shield. In that split second, I offered her my help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I offered to merge our spirits and help protect them, but she would not accept my help. She chose to tap her own reservoir. Her own magic, Sadie murmured. Bast nodded sadly. When a magician commits herself to a spell, there's no turning back. If she overreaches her power, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your mother used her last bit of energy protecting your father. To save him, she sacrificed herself. She literally burned up, I said. That's what Zia warned us about. The rain kept pouring down. I realized I was shivering. Sadie wiped a tear from her cheek. She picked up her amulet and glared at it resentfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got to save Dad, if he's really got the spirit of Osiris. She didn't finish, but I knew what she was thinking. I thought about Mom when I was little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her arm around my shoulders as we stood on the back deck of our house in LA. She pointed out the stars to me. Polaris, Orion's belt, Sirius. Then she'd smile at me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mom had sacrificed herself to save dad's life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She used so much magic, she literally burned up. How could I ever be that brave? Yet, I had to try to save dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise I'd feel like mom's sacrifice had been for nothing. And maybe if we could rescue dad,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could set things right, even bring back our mom. Is that possible? I asked Horace, but his voice was silent. Alright, I decided. So how do we stop set? Bost thought for a moment, then smiled. I got the feeling that whatever she was about to suggest, I wasn't going to like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There might be a way without completely giving yourself over to the gods. There's a book by Todd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the rare spell books written by the god of wisdom himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one I'm thinking of details a way to overcome set. It is the prized possession of a certain magician. All we need to do is sneak into his fortress, steal it, and leave before sunset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While we can still create a portal to the United States. Perfect! Sadie said. Hold up! I said. Which magician? And where's the fortress? Bast stared at me as if I were a bit slow. Why, I think we already discussed him. Desjardins. His house is right here in Paris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once I saw Dejardin's house, I hated him even more. It was a huge mansion on the other side of the Tuileries, on the Rue des Pyramides. Pyramides road, Sadie said, obvious much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe he couldn't find a place on Stupid Evil Magician Street, I suggested. The house was spectacular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The spikes atop its wrought iron fence were gilded. Even in the winter rain, the front garden was bursting with flowers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five stories of white marble walls and black shuttered windows loomed before us. The whole thing topped off by a roof garden. I've seen royal palaces smaller than this place. I pointed to the front door, which was painted bright red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't red a bad color in Egypt? The color of set? Bost scratched her chin. Now that you mention it, yes. It's the color of chaos and destruction. I thought black was the evil color, Sadie said. No, dear. As usual, modern folk have it backward. Black is the color of good soil, like the soil of the Nile. You can grow food in black soil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Food is good. Therefore, black is good. Red is the color of desert sand. Nothing grows in the desert. Therefore, red is evil. She frowned. It is strange that Desjardins has a red door. Well, I'm excited. Sadie grumbled. Let's go knock. There will be guards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bast said. And traps. And alarms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can bet the house is heavily charmed to keep out gods. Magicians can do that? I ask


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I imagined a big can of pesticide labeled Godaway. Alas, yes, Bost said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will not be able to cross the threshold uninvited. You, however. I thought we're gods too, Sadie said. That's the beauty of it, Bast said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As hosts, you are still quite human. I've taken full possession of Muffin, so I am pretty much me, a goddess, but you are still, well, yourselves. Clear? No, I said. I suggest you turn into birds, Bast said. You can fly to the roof garden and make your


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, so do you, obviously you would miss out on things like that as well. Your life has just got crazy out of hand. People all over the world are big fans of your music, which is of course great, but then you would miss things that, you know, people your age would be doing. Um, do you have ways of being able to do stuff still?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like put a disguise on to go to the movies or something like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I just say as well, I was, I was watching that Ellen interview. Very strange how, um, Ellen's going through like, oh man, all these people are fans of you. She's like, Dave Grohl's a big fan, I know he's here today and a camera just pans out and Dave Grohl's just randomly in the audience of your Ellen interview.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we also wanted to mention your Instagram, which is of course popping off. Fire. Uh, we noticed you're following specifically 666 people. Is that on purpose?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just got called to bring in a freshie. Um, I mean, we also noticed that, um, you follow Amy Shark and TK Meiser, two Australian artists. Are you into any other Australian musicians?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do have a bit of a recommendation for you because, uh, you did come in, the last time you were in this specific studio, you were doing like a version, covered a bit of Michael Jackson, that's blown up since then. And, uh, recently we had an act called Cubsport who covered one of your songs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember the first time we spoke to you, Billy, um, we were talking about a song you wrote when you were 11 about the walking dead. Since then, obviously we have a song with grabs in it from the office. Uh, lots of TV shows there. Are you, are you binging anything at the moment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been so great having you in Australia. I've seen so many videos of people just like swarming you at airports and things as well. There's this one video of people just crying, screaming, giving you things. What's the strangest thing a fan has ever given you? Whether it be at a show or a meet and greet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I better be getting a move on myself. My train leaves London at 2.30. How Dora had the energy to get out and go marketing, I can't imagine. Say goodbye to her for me. Roger. You will do all you can about Dora, won't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, Sadie's puppy dog comment was totally out of line. I was not starry-eyed about Zia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just that I don't meet a lot of people who can throw fireballs and battle gods. Stop making faces at me, Sadie. You look like Hufu. Anyway, we plunged into the sand tunnel. Everything went dark.

[Assistant] My stomach tingled with that top of the roller coaster weightlessness as I hurdled forward. Hot winds whipped around me and my skin burned.

[Assistant] Then I tumbled out onto a cold tile floor, and Sadie and Zia crashed on top of me. Ow! I grumbled.

[Assistant] Outside it was dark, so I knew we must be in a different time zone.

[Assistant] Announcements echoed over the intercom in a language that sounded like Arabic. Sadie spit sand out of her mouth. Yuck. Come on, Zia said. We can't stay here. I struggled to my feet.

[Assistant] A family arguing in German rushed by and almost ran over me with their suitcases. Then I turned and saw something I recognized.

[Assistant] In the middle of the concourse stood a life-size replica of an ancient Egyptian boat made from glowing display cases, a sales counter for perfume and jewelry. This is the Cairo airport, I said. Yes, Zia said. Now let's go. Why the rush? Can Sirket, can she follow us through that sand gate? Zia shook her head. An artifact overheats whenever it creates a gate.

[Assistant] It requires a 12 hour cool down before it can be used again. But we still have to worry about airport security. Unless you'd like to meet the Egyptian police, you'll come with me now. She grabbed our arms and steered us through the crowd.

[Assistant] We must have looked like beggars in our old fashioned clothes, covered head to toe in sand. People gave us a wide berth, but nobody tried to stop us. Why are we here? Sadie demanded. To see the ruins of Heliopolis, Zia said. Inside an airport, Sadie asked. I remembered something Dad had told me years ago, and my scalp tingled. Sadie, the ruins are under us.

[Assistant] I looked at Zia. That's right, isn't it? She nodded. The ancient city was pillaged centuries ago. Some of its monuments were carted away, like Cleopatra's two needles.

[Assistant] Most of its temples were broken down to make new buildings. What was left disappeared under Cairo's suburbs. The largest section is under this airport. And how does that help us? Sadie asked. Zia kicked open a maintenance door. On the other side was a broom closet. Zia muttered a command. Sahad. And the image of the closet shimmered and disappeared.

[Assistant] Revealing a set of stone steps leading down. Because not all Heliopolis is in ruins, Zia said. Follow closely and touch nothing.

[Assistant] The stairs must have led down about seven million miles because we descended forever. The passage had been made for miniature people too.

[Assistant] We had to crouch and crawl most of the way, and even so, I bonked my head on the ceiling a dozen times.

[Assistant] The only light was from a ball of fire in Zia's palm, which made shadows dance across the walls. I'd been in places like this before.

[Assistant] Tunnels inside pyramids, tombs my dad had excavated, but I've never liked them.

[Assistant] I have too much pride, I know. Mrs. de Fervaquais has stolen you from me. Has she given you what I have given you?

[Assistant] Have you seen the Delamon, ladies? They're downstairs.

[Assistant] We'll go to London. I'll be dishonored. That will be my promise to you.

[Assistant] Isn't this a promise? I'm your wife forever.
