No big deal.Coffee klatch, kind of stuff we can cut into anytime during our broadcast of the mission. Mike Collins: Say, are we underdressed, Emmett? Emmett: Oh no, not at all, boys. I'm just a creature of habit. I can't goon the airwithout puttin' on my tie. We'll be on the air from the moment you cross through the equigravisphere right up through the big moment. And to tell you the truth I'm gonna need all the help I can get. Neil Armstrong: I don't know, Emmett. Cronkiteworked us over. I don't know how much we have left for you. Emmett: You let me worry about Cronkite. I'vegot good stuff oneach of you, but don't get too formal about it. Say any damn thing you please, any damn thing you want. Now, Neil, I'll start with you. Then you, Buzz. Mike, you'll beTail-End Charlie. Mike Collins: So I'm always Tail-End Charlie on these scenes. Emmett: Forget what I just said. We'll start with you. Now, Mike, you have a role unlike any other human being in the world. Buzz: So, are we beginning now? Emmett: Oh, yeah. They started rolling the minute I sat down.
