Hmm... the
persistent type. Admirable quality, I'll be sure to exploit it. Hahahahhahahahaha,
err nevermind. More quotes.
There is nothing wrong with you television set.
Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission.
If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to
make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal.
We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We
can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity.
For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all you see and hear.
We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about
to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe
and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... the Outer Limits.
