Lawrence E. Turpin:

Jonathan Steinbloom:
And what are tho... what's tha... that... Those are lights hanging up there?

Lawrence E. Turpin:
Yes, those are lights...

Jonathan Steinbloom:
Could they fall?

Lawrence E. Turpin:
...and that's a ceiling above us!

Jonathan Steinbloom:
But they look shaky.

Lawrence E. Turpin:
No, they're not shaky, they're perfectly...

Jonathan Steinbloom:
Is that wire? I see a wire. I see a...

Jonathan Steinbloom:
Oww!
