Well, it it seems to me that in order to project the astro body, the person first has to visualize being outside himself. He has to actually see his etheric body while he's still in his physical body. I don't know, John. What is there about the real or imagined presence of the, what's that German word for etheric double, Mora? Doppelganger. Yeah. Doppelganger. Great word. Why is it necessary to visualize the doppelganger first? I mean, if that's essential, how do you explain the fact that people have out of body experiences while they're asleep?
[00:04:36] Unknown:
Maybe it's because when you sleep, you dream. And I'm oversimplifying this now, but aren't dreams unconscious visualizations of places you've been or places you wanna be? I never thought of that. I guess that's a possibility. So maybe you're both right.
[00:04:52] Unknown:
Excuse me, doctor Cassidy. What is it, Patrick? There's someone here from Barnum five to see Captain Griff. Daphne? Hello, buddy. You old Rasterbout. Die you deaf.
[00:05:03] Unknown:
My gosh. Mara. I'm sorry. I think nothing of a doll face. Tattooed ladies are supposed to give you the shivers and make your eyes pop. That's what we get paid for.
[00:05:14] Unknown:
Daphne, this is Mara Cassidy, STAR Labs research director. Glad to know you, Mara.
[00:05:19] Unknown:
Hello?
[00:05:20] Unknown:
And this is my good friend John Graydon. Put her there, Johnny. Any friend of Buddy's is a pal of mine. I've heard a lot about you, Daphne.
[00:05:28] Unknown:
Well, anything this beanpole told you about me, you gotta take with a grain of salt. Or maybe with a grain of pepper if you like your story spicy. Buddy, I didn't know that you knew any tattooed ladies. Well, hell's Belsmarra. Me and the kid have known each other for years. Well, when he was just a squirt, he used to spend half the summer following Otto's carnival around. How is Otto anyway? Buddy, he couldn't be better. Going interplanetary was the smartest thing he ever did. Why we got more attractions and menageries than you can shake a stick at. And Otto's got one whole shuttle stuffed with mattresses just so he can store his money. Oh, what?
[00:06:13] Unknown:
D Daphne, could could I ask you a personal question? Far away, Johnny. Well, are you,
[00:06:21] Unknown:
you know, tattooed all over? Oh. Well, heck yes, sugar. I even got tattoos on the bottom of my feet. Wanna see? Well, no. I mean, if you don't want to. No trouble at all Johnny happy to oblige. Here buddy help me off with these cloud hoppers. Okay. Here give me your point. Oh. Oh. Well, what do you think of that? Fantastic. What's that there, Daphne? A white rabbit? A white rabbit? A mad hatter? A queen of hearts twiddling d twiddling dum? Oh, heck, Mara. I've got the whole story of Alice in Wonderland tattooed on the bottom of these babies. Daphne, did you have all these tattoos when you joined the circus? Nope.
It was just my arms at first. Not again gave me the idea of getting tattooed from face to feet. He did? Yeah. The first summer he came around, he was reading this Ray Bradbury novel, The Illustrated Man. Well, I took a gander at the cover and decided then and there that anything an illustrated man had to say, an illustrated woman could say 10 times better.
[00:07:40] Unknown:

Arriving at StarLab from the circus planet of Barnum 5, the amazing Daphne, a tattooed lady from Auto Starshine's interplanetary carnival of thrilling wonders, is reunited with her old friend Buddy Griff.
[00:09:19] Unknown:
Buddy, I didn't know that you knew any tattoo ladies. Well, hell's Belsmar. Me and the kid have known each other for years. Why when he was just a squirt, he was to spend half the summer following arms carnival around. How is Otto anyway? By heat, couldn't be better. Going in a planetary was the smartest thing he ever did. Why we got more attractions and menageries than you can shake a stick at. And Otto's got one whole shuttle stuffed with mattresses just so he can store his money.
[00:09:52] Unknown:
Half an hour later, Maura, John, Buddy, and the amazing Daphne enter Star Labs Visual Media Theater to view a videotape cassette Daphne has brought from Barnum five.
[00:10:09] Unknown:
I'm sorry, mom. Didn't quite catch that. Luckdeer's going punky on me. I was wondering about the cassette. Oh, that. Well, when Otto got Buddy's message about coming to bottom five, he rounded up a bunch of our Ballihoo boys and had them put together this little video tour of the grounds. Sort of a preview of common attractions. Well, that was nice of him. Arnold's always doing stuff like that, Mara. Figured Buddy'd get a kick out of it. I love it. Well, I guess we should sit down.
[00:10:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Mara, where would you like to sit? Well, I'd like a seat on the aisle. Oh, I don't know. I like sitting in the middle up close. John? Oh.
[00:10:50] Unknown:
Why don't we sit over there next to the console? I think Johnny's got a good point there. If we sit by the console, we can change focus and resolution and color correct if we have to. Okay. Right. You are.
[00:11:03] Unknown:
Hand me the cassette button. Here you go.
[00:11:06] Unknown:
Okay. Johnny, let her rip.

Terrific. And I'd, like to hang around and shoot the breeze, but I got a show this afternoon. And I don't believe in keeping the customers waiting. Daphne, before you go, would you mind coming down to the infirmary with me? The infirmary? How come? Well, you mentioned that your left ear was going a little punky. I think doctor Rossiter should examine it. There might be something she can do. Gee. That's really swell of you, Mara. But I'll be alright. Hey. Mara's right, Daphne. It wouldn't hurt to have a check out.
[00:15:39] Unknown:
Besides I think you and Doctor. Rossiter would really hit it off
[00:15:43] Unknown:
Well, okay
[00:15:44] Unknown:
Good, I'll talk to you before you go If anybody wants me I'll be in the library Checking out a book? Nope, Checking out a librarian.
[00:15:53] Unknown:
See you later.
[00:15:54] Unknown:
So long, buddy. Come on. I'll get out of the infirmary with you. Maybe I can get Daphne to tell me some of her spicier stories.
[00:16:04] Unknown:
Glad to oblige Johnny. A man who listens is a good man indeed. And these days, a good man is hard to find.
[00:16:26] Unknown:
Hi, Ingrid. Shh. Hi, buddy.
[00:16:29] Unknown:
What do you mean? I mean,
[00:16:32] Unknown:
because this is a library, and people can't concentrate if there's noise.
[00:16:37] Unknown:
Noise?
[00:16:40] Unknown:
Ingrid. Yes, buddy?
[00:16:42] Unknown:
There's nobody here.
[00:16:44] Unknown:
What? Oh.
[00:16:46] Unknown:
How long have you had your nose in that book? Well, let me see. I came on duty at o eight hundred, and it's nearly my goodness. I've been reading for almost four hours. What are you reading? A history of circuses and carnivals. Oh, let me see that.
[00:17:04] Unknown:
Hey. This is great.
[00:17:06] Unknown:
Well, since we are going to Barnum 5 tomorrow and because Daphne and Arthur were such good friends to you, I thought it would be nice if I could talk circus talk with them. Well, people like it very much when you take an interest in their profession. Don't you think?
[00:17:20] Unknown:
Yes.
[00:17:21] Unknown:
They like it very much. I hope the weather is nice tomorrow on Bonham 5. It would be too bad if there was Jonah's luck. Jonah's luck? It's circus talk for rainy weather. I know. But how did you know? There's a glossary of circus language here in the back of the book. I memorized it. Oh, you have? Mhmm.
[00:17:42] Unknown:
Okay. Close the book. Now let's see. There's a heavy clam coming down behind the Mitchell involving a Razorback, a Joey, and a Spindleman. The clem is happening because they all have eyes for the same Sally Tinker. Oh, that's easy.
[00:17:59] Unknown:
A man who lords the animals, a clown, and a gambler are having a fight behind the fortune teller's tent because they all want the same lady alphabet.
[00:18:10] Unknown:
Kiss me, you fool. Okay.
[00:18:18] Unknown:
Alien worlds will continue.
[00:18:22] Unknown:
Pardon me. Isn't that a Cadbury chocolate bar? I've never tried one. Oh, that's too bad. Mind if I have a teensy piece? Hey. That's my bar. I'll just take a little bit. Oh, it was for my wife and me. Oh, she'll love it. You know, you can get carried away with this stuff. I've noticed. Give it back. Oh, come on. It's a big bar. It's getting smaller. Once people taste a big thick Cadbury chocolate bar, they get very carried away because only a Cadbury bar is so rich, so creamy, so Cadbury. Can I have my Cadbury back now? Your Cadbury?
[00:18:52] Unknown:
Oh, I guess I got carried away. Peter Paul Cadbury wants to send you a collection of commemorative scenes from alien worlds.

Meanwhile, on the morning side of the small circus planet, Otto Starshine and the amazing Daphne stand on the midway of Otto's interplanetary carnival of thrilling wonders. Watching the gaffers, roastabouts, kinkers, and razorbacks prepare for another day long performance.
[00:22:41] Unknown:
Well, there will be no Jonas luck today, Daphne. The sky is beautiful. Yeah. It's gonna be a swell day. Alright. Say, have we gone ahead with what we talked about last night? The fourth ring? Mhmm. Yes. It's a wonderful idea, but it requires a good deal of preparation. So we had better take Buddy and Ingrid to madame Disha the moment they arrive. Gotcha. No, Disha. Gotcha.
[00:23:05] Unknown:
Oh, by the way, what was all that commotion last night? One of glamorous Wanda's mammoth tool sacks got loose and had all three of its trunks draped over the the cover of Debo's star flower stand. For a minute there, Debo thought it was gonna sniff them right out of business. Did you speak to Wanda about it? I mentioned it to her this morning, but she was so busy making herself glamorous, I don't think she hurt me. She never changes, does she? You know something, Anna? I hope she never does. She's tucked through just the way she is.
[00:23:40] Unknown:
Come. Let's go see madame Disha. Gotcha. No, Disha.

[00:24:40] Unknown:

[00:24:44] Unknown:
Little tiny skirts and little tiny tops don't make me uncomfortable. Yes. Yes. They do make me uncomfortable. Do you want me to change? No. No. No. I I like being uncomfortable.
[00:24:58] Unknown:

Oh, yeah. The circus. Oh, sure. It's perfect for a day at the circus, or a night at the opera, or a day at the races.
[00:25:18] Unknown:

Fifteen minutes later, Buddy and Ingrid flash their Annie Oakley's at the main gate of the carnival grounds, and are escorted down the midway to Otto's office. A large red and gold circus wagon surrounded by long neon flag poles that fly the multicolored banners and pennants of 20 alien worlds.
[00:25:55] Unknown:
Hey. Hello. Hello, buddy. You look great, Otto. Just great.
[00:26:00] Unknown:
Well, it's been a long time, buddy. Too long. My advice is that you begin coming to my circus at least once a year rather than once every decade.
[00:26:10] Unknown:
Will you promise me that? You got it, Otto. That's a promise.
[00:26:14] Unknown:
And,
[00:26:14] Unknown:

[00:26:30] Unknown:
Thank you, Artur. Well, what do you two think of the place so far? Oh, it's terrific. I can't get over. Excellent. Glad to hear it, Kins. Glad to hear it. But But if you think what you've seen so far is terrific, prepare yourselves for lots more because you ain't seen nothing yet.

[00:05:03] Unknown:
My gosh. Mara. I'm sorry. I think nothing of a doll face. Tattooed ladies are supposed to give you the shivers and make your eyes pop. That's what we get paid for.
[00:05:14] Unknown:
Daphne, this is Mara Cassidy, STAR Labs research director. Glad to know you, Mara.
[00:05:19] Unknown:
Hello?
[00:05:20] Unknown:
And this is my good friend John Graydon. Put her there, Johnny. Any friend of Buddy's is a pal of mine. I've heard a lot about you, Daphne.
[00:05:28] Unknown:
Well, anything this beanpole told you about me, you gotta take with a grain of salt. Or maybe with a grain of pepper if you like your story spicy. Buddy, I didn't know that you knew any tattooed ladies. Well, hell's Belsmarra. Me and the kid have known each other for years. Well, when he was just a squirt, he used to spend half the summer following Otto's carnival around. How is Otto anyway? Buddy, he couldn't be better. Going interplanetary was the smartest thing he ever did. Why we got more attractions and menageries than you can shake a stick at. And Otto's got one whole shuttle stuffed with mattresses just so he can store his money. Oh, what?
[00:06:13] Unknown:
D Daphne, could could I ask you a personal question? Far away, Johnny. Well, are you,
[00:06:21] Unknown:
you know, tattooed all over? Oh. Well, heck yes, sugar. I even got tattoos on the bottom of my feet. Wanna see? Well, no. I mean, if you don't want to. No trouble at all Johnny happy to oblige. Here buddy help me off with these cloud hoppers. Okay. Here give me your point. Oh. Oh. Well, what do you think of that? Fantastic. What's that there, Daphne? A white rabbit? A white rabbit? A mad hatter? A queen of hearts twiddling d twiddling dum? Oh, heck, Mara. I've got the whole story of Alice in Wonderland tattooed on the bottom of these babies. Daphne, did you have all these tattoos when you joined the circus? Nope.
It was just my arms at first. Not again gave me the idea of getting tattooed from face to feet. He did? Yeah. The first summer he came around, he was reading this Ray Bradbury novel, The Illustrated Man. Well, I took a gander at the cover and decided then and there that anything an illustrated man had to say, an illustrated woman could say 10 times better.
[00:07:40] Unknown:
Alien worlds will continue. Peter Paul Cadbury wants to send you a collection of commemorative scenes from alien worlds. Nine full color illustrations from fantastic adventures like Earthlight and the kilohertz war. And characters like Elon of death Song and the Madonna's of Zanzibar. Just send two Peter Paul or Cadbury rappers and 50¢ for postage and handling to Alien Worlds, Box 888 Westbury, New York 11590. That's Box 888 Westbury, New York 11590 for your Alien World souvenir booklet. Alien Worlds continues. Arriving at StarLab from the circus planet of Barnum 5, the amazing Daphne, a tattooed lady from Auto Starshine's interplanetary carnival of thrilling wonders, is reunited with her old friend Buddy Griff.
[00:09:19] Unknown:
Buddy, I didn't know that you knew any tattoo ladies. Well, hell's Belsmar. Me and the kid have known each other for years. Why when he was just a squirt, he was to spend half the summer following arms carnival around. How is Otto anyway? By heat, couldn't be better. Going in a planetary was the smartest thing he ever did. Why we got more attractions and menageries than you can shake a stick at. And Otto's got one whole shuttle stuffed with mattresses just so he can store his money.
[00:09:52] Unknown:
Half an hour later, Maura, John, Buddy, and the amazing Daphne enter Star Labs Visual Media Theater to view a videotape cassette Daphne has brought from Barnum five.
[00:10:09] Unknown:
I'm sorry, mom. Didn't quite catch that. Luckdeer's going punky on me. I was wondering about the cassette. Oh, that. Well, when Otto got Buddy's message about coming to bottom five, he rounded up a bunch of our Ballihoo boys and had them put together this little video tour of the grounds. Sort of a preview of common attractions. Well, that was nice of him. Arnold's always doing stuff like that, Mara. Figured Buddy'd get a kick out of it. I love it. Well, I guess we should sit down.
[00:10:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Mara, where would you like to sit? Well, I'd like a seat on the aisle. Oh, I don't know. I like sitting in the middle up close. John? Oh.
[00:10:50] Unknown:
Why don't we sit over there next to the console? I think Johnny's got a good point there. If we sit by the console, we can change focus and resolution and color correct if we have to. Okay. Right. You are.
[00:11:03] Unknown:
Hand me the cassette button. Here you go.
[00:11:06] Unknown:
Okay. Johnny, let her rip.
[00:11:13] Unknown:
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Ako Starshine in a planetary carnival of thrilling wonders. And now drop one of us. The fabulous flying baloney, an aggregation of death defying aerialists so clever and accomplished. Their safety net is 58 feet above
[00:13:03] Unknown:
He's waving. Did he man? Did they fall up?
[00:13:10] Unknown:
And here from auto starshides, Inder Stella Manachari, a lenient confusion creature. And now in the centering, the strongest life form, this side of Callisto from the planet of Bicep 941 Leonidly. Giocomo, the magnificent watch now as Giocomo attempts to lift a fully loaded Luger shuttle.

[00:14:12] Unknown:
great. Here is one of our animal
[00:15:11] Unknown:
Terrific. And I'd, like to hang around and shoot the breeze, but I got a show this afternoon. And I don't believe in keeping the customers waiting. Daphne, before you go, would you mind coming down to the infirmary with me? The infirmary? How come? Well, you mentioned that your left ear was going a little punky. I think doctor Rossiter should examine it. There might be something she can do. Gee. That's really swell of you, Mara. But I'll be alright. Hey. Mara's right, Daphne. It wouldn't hurt to have a check out.
[00:15:39] Unknown:
Besides I think you and Doctor. Rossiter would really hit it off
[00:15:43] Unknown:
Well, okay
[00:15:44] Unknown:
Good, I'll talk to you before you go If anybody wants me I'll be in the library Checking out a book? Nope, Checking out a librarian.
[00:15:53] Unknown:
See you later.
[00:15:54] Unknown:
So long, buddy. Come on. I'll get out of the infirmary with you. Maybe I can get Daphne to tell me some of her spicier stories.
[00:16:04] Unknown:
Glad to oblige Johnny. A man who listens is a good man indeed. And these days, a good man is hard to find.
[00:16:26] Unknown:
Hi, Ingrid. Shh. Hi, buddy.
[00:16:29] Unknown:
What do you mean? I mean,
[00:16:32] Unknown:
because this is a library, and people can't concentrate if there's noise.
[00:16:37] Unknown:
Noise?
[00:16:40] Unknown:
Ingrid. Yes, buddy?
[00:16:42] Unknown:
There's nobody here.
[00:16:44] Unknown:
What? Oh.
[00:16:46] Unknown:
How long have you had your nose in that book? Well, let me see. I came on duty at o eight hundred, and it's nearly my goodness. I've been reading for almost four hours. What are you reading? A history of circuses and carnivals. Oh, let me see that.
[00:17:04] Unknown:
Hey. This is great.
[00:17:06] Unknown:
Well, since we are going to Barnum 5 tomorrow and because Daphne and Arthur were such good friends to you, I thought it would be nice if I could talk circus talk with them. Well, people like it very much when you take an interest in their profession. Don't you think?
[00:17:20] Unknown:
Yes.
[00:17:21] Unknown:
They like it very much. I hope the weather is nice tomorrow on Bonham 5. It would be too bad if there was Jonah's luck. Jonah's luck? It's circus talk for rainy weather. I know. But how did you know? There's a glossary of circus language here in the back of the book. I memorized it. Oh, you have? Mhmm.
[00:17:42] Unknown:
Okay. Close the book. Now let's see. There's a heavy clam coming down behind the Mitchell involving a Razorback, a Joey, and a Spindleman. The clem is happening because they all have eyes for the same Sally Tinker. Oh, that's easy.
[00:17:59] Unknown:
A man who lords the animals, a clown, and a gambler are having a fight behind the fortune teller's tent because they all want the same lady alphabet.
[00:18:10] Unknown:
Kiss me, you fool. Okay.
[00:18:18] Unknown:
Alien worlds will continue.
[00:18:22] Unknown:
Pardon me. Isn't that a Cadbury chocolate bar? I've never tried one. Oh, that's too bad. Mind if I have a teensy piece? Hey. That's my bar. I'll just take a little bit. Oh, it was for my wife and me. Oh, she'll love it. You know, you can get carried away with this stuff. I've noticed. Give it back. Oh, come on. It's a big bar. It's getting smaller. Once people taste a big thick Cadbury chocolate bar, they get very carried away because only a Cadbury bar is so rich, so creamy, so Cadbury. Can I have my Cadbury back now? Your Cadbury?
[00:18:52] Unknown:
Oh, I guess I got carried away. Peter Paul Cadbury wants to send you a collection of commemorative scenes from alien worlds. Nine full color illustrations from fantastic adventures like Earthlight and the kilohertz war. And characters like Elon of death song and the Madonna's of Zanzibar. Just send two Peter Paul or Cadbury rappers and 50¢ for postage and handling to Alien Worlds Box 888 Westbury, New York 11590. That's Box 888 Westbury, New York 11590 for your alien world souvenir booklet. Alien worlds continues.
Two hours after her arrival at Star Lab from the circus planet of Barnum 5, the amazing Daphne complains of a hearing loss in her left ear, and is taken to the infirmary by Maura and John.

Hi. I've got a doctor Hi, Laura. Happy. Honey. How'd it go? Well, it looks like I'm not going deaf after all. I got a cracked eardrum, but Diana gave me some medicine for it. Says if I use it twice a day for two weeks, the crack will heal up and, hey, I'll be as good as new. Oh, good.
[00:20:50] Unknown:

[00:20:57] Unknown:

[00:21:04] Unknown:
I'm happy to say there's a lot of flesh to see. Hey. Where's John? He's still down in the infirmary. There's something wrong with him? Nothing a Sunday afternoon with Mattie won't cure. Yeah. Well, I guess my spicy story has finally got to him. Oh, will you have lunch with us, Daphne? I'd really love to, honey, but, I gotta be getting back. Here's a couple of Annie Oakley's, buddy. I'll flash them at the gate tomorrow and one of the boys will take you right to Arnold. Annie Oakley's?

I'll have circus talk for three tickets.
[00:21:33] Unknown:
Oh. Well, excuse me.
[00:21:37] Unknown:
Come on, Daphne. We'll walk you down to your talking day.
[00:21:45] Unknown:
At o eight hundred the next morning, Buddy and Ingrid entered Launch Bay 12 and board the bright yellow Marathon Alpha, one of StarLab's magnum class long range shuttles. Fifteen minutes later, the Marathon Alpha rockets out of its launch bay, banks 40 degrees, and jets away toward Arnhem 5. Meanwhile, on the morning side of the small circus planet, Otto Starshine and the amazing Daphne stand on the midway of Otto's interplanetary carnival of thrilling wonders. Watching the gaffers, roastabouts, kinkers, and razorbacks prepare for another day long performance.
[00:22:41] Unknown:
Well, there will be no Jonas luck today, Daphne. The sky is beautiful. Yeah. It's gonna be a swell day. Alright. Say, have we gone ahead with what we talked about last night? The fourth ring? Mhmm. Yes. It's a wonderful idea, but it requires a good deal of preparation. So we had better take Buddy and Ingrid to madame Disha the moment they arrive. Gotcha. No, Disha. Gotcha.
[00:23:05] Unknown:
Oh, by the way, what was all that commotion last night? One of glamorous Wanda's mammoth tool sacks got loose and had all three of its trunks draped over the the cover of Debo's star flower stand. For a minute there, Debo thought it was gonna sniff them right out of business. Did you speak to Wanda about it? I mentioned it to her this morning, but she was so busy making herself glamorous, I don't think she hurt me. She never changes, does she? You know something, Anna? I hope she never does. She's tucked through just the way she is.
[00:23:40] Unknown:
Come. Let's go see madame Disha. Gotcha. No, Disha.
[00:23:51] Unknown:
Marathon Alpha, Department of Traffic Control. Yo. We're tracking you, Marathon Alpha. I need landing vector coordinates for Auto Starshine's Carnival of Thrilling Wonders.
[00:24:02] Unknown:
Coming right up. Now alright. Is your ship fitted with a g c 10 interface module? Affirmative. Alright. Terminate your onboard guidance system and open interface channel one zero five. We'll launch you from here. Roger. Marathon alpha. We have you on ground control, interlock. Have a good time.
[00:24:24] Unknown:
Thanks. Marathon alpha out.
[00:24:28] Unknown:
Where? How do I look? Baldi, close your mouth.
[00:24:35] Unknown:
I didn't know you were changing your clothes back there.
[00:24:40] Unknown:
Oh, the way I look doesn't make you uncomfortable, does it? No.
[00:24:44] Unknown:
Little tiny skirts and little tiny tops don't make me uncomfortable. Yes. Yes. They do make me uncomfortable. Do you want me to change? No. No. No. I I like being uncomfortable.
[00:24:58] Unknown:
Really, I do. I love it. Good. I think it's a perfect costume for a day at the circus. Circus?
[00:25:05] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. The circus. Oh, sure. It's perfect for a day at the circus, or a night at the opera, or a day at the races.
[00:25:18] Unknown:
Two hours after leaving the star lab, the marathon alpha lands at the small space port near auto starshine's carnival of thrilling wonders. Fifteen minutes later, Buddy and Ingrid flash their Annie Oakley's at the main gate of the carnival grounds, and are escorted down the midway to Otto's office. A large red and gold circus wagon surrounded by long neon flag poles that fly the multicolored banners and pennants of 20 alien worlds.
[00:25:55] Unknown:
Hey. Hello. Hello, buddy. You look great, Otto. Just great.
[00:26:00] Unknown:
Well, it's been a long time, buddy. Too long. My advice is that you begin coming to my circus at least once a year rather than once every decade.
[00:26:10] Unknown:
Will you promise me that? You got it, Otto. That's a promise.
[00:26:14] Unknown:
And,
[00:26:14] Unknown:
who is your charming companion? Oh, this is Ingrid Tassel. She's the librarian aboard Starlight.
[00:26:20] Unknown:
Well, I must say that the image of the librarian has changed considerably since I was a boy. It's a pleasure to meet you, my dear.
[00:26:30] Unknown:
Thank you, Artur. Well, what do you two think of the place so far? Oh, it's terrific. I can't get over. Excellent. Glad to hear it, Kins. Glad to hear it. But But if you think what you've seen so far is terrific, prepare yourselves for lots more because you ain't seen nothing yet.
