Cuts back to the same group of people as the timer hits 0:00.
Karen: And here comes the eclipse.
Suddenly a 1997 Mitsubishi appears out of the sky.
Paul: Oh wow; it appears to be a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS.
Karen: Now I do believe that is the ultra red pearl.
Paul: Actually, Karen, it's the it's the cayenne red pearl. The ultra red pearl wasn't introduced to the Mitsubishi until 2003.
Karen: I would like to apologize to our viewers.
Cuts to a map on what people are going to see of the eclipse.
Paul: Let's see the map of the eclipse's trajectory.
Karen: Now Paul, could you tell us what we're seeing here?
Paul: I'd be happy to, Karen.
Zooms in on St. Paul, Minnesota.
Paul: St. Paul, Minnesota will only experience the upper half of the Mitsubishi which features the distinctive offset hood bulge, and a portion of the spolier.
Karen: Spolier alert.
The map then zooms out back to the whole U.S.A.
Paul: Okay, Karen.
The map then zooms in on Houston, Texas.
Paul: And unfortunately, Houston, Texas will only be able to view undercarriage and the optional 5-spoke alloy wheels.
The map then heads up to Lincoln, Nebraska.
Paul: And Lincoln, Nebraska will be able to experience the full majesty of this majestic event. Karen I think now is the perfect time to thank our featured sponser.
Karen: A perfect time indeed.
Cuts to a Readable logo.
Karen: This episode is brought to you by Readable: the service that takes your favorite podcasts, and turns them into books. Paul, I think now is the perfect time to check back with our watch party.
Cuts back to the group of people where the shadow of the Mitsubishi.
Paul: If this were the 3rd generation eclipse, then this would have been much bigger as the U.S Safety Regulations bloated the eclipse's perfectly supple body lines.
Cuts back to the Mitsubishi heading towards the sun.
Karen: In just a few moments the sun will be entirely eclipsed, and we will reach totality.
Paul: I don't know what i'm more exited by. The impending totality, or this 141 horsepower masterpiece of Japanese engineering and style.
Karen: For me, it would have to be totality. Now, let's take a break to thank our other sponser Paul.
Cuts to a Tangible logo.
Paul: We are also brought to you by Tangible. Tangible: taking your favorite audio-books, and turning them into textures.
Karen: One audio book I would recommend touching is Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.
Paul: Personally, I'd love to touch stuart little.
Cuts back to the sky where the Mitsubishi has covered the sun completely.
Paul: And there we have it, full obstruction
Karen: Have you ever seen anything more spectacular?
Suddently the Mitsubishi begins breaking down.
Karen: Oh dear, it appears the eclipse has broken down over Salem, Oregon.
Paul: One thing that should be mentioned is the 2nd generation eclipse was woefully unreliable.
Cuts back to the group of people as th Mitsubishi shadow still over them.
Paul: Just a real piece of sh*t car, Karen.
Cuts back to the sky with the Mitsubishi still over the sun and a tow truck arrives to pick up the Mitsubishi.
Karen: Oh and it appears a tow truck has arrived at the scene.
Paul: And just in time, as Oregon would have plunged into a perpetual ice age.
The Tow Truck and the Mitsubishi then head off as the sun can be seen again.
Karen: And there goes the eclispe.
Cuts back to the group of people as the shadow begins to leave.
Paul: Gone from our skies, but not our hearts.
