Jim Lovell:
Okay, uh, good evening, America, and welcome aboard Apollo 13. I'm Jim Lovell, and we're broadcasting to you tonight from an altitude of almost 200,000 miles away from the... the face of the Earth, and we have a pretty good show in store for you tonight. We are going to show you just what, uh, life is like for the three of us in the vast expanse of outer space.

Jim Lovell:
Okay, one of the first things we'd like to do is provide you with the appropriate background music. So, uh, hit it there, Freddo.
Fred Haise:
[playing Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky"]

Jim Lovell:
That, uh, was supposed to be the theme to "2001", in honor of our command module Odyssey, but there seems to have been a last-minute change in the program.
