God, Jack!

Hello, Jack? Can you hear me?

Like I was saying before about goin'

to New York. We could see some shows.

You know, like "Sugar Babies".

And I know a great hotel...

Two more young women

were killed by the Liberty Bell Strangler.

But the tragedy ended when

the final victim, Sally Badina,

killed her attacker in a bloody struggle

on the top of the Port of History building

during the Liberty Day

firework celebration.

The identity of the strangler

has not yet been determined.

Governor McRyan's death continues to

send shock waves throughout the nation.

Oh, Jack!

Oh, God! Oh, please!

Jack, please!

Oh, God! God, Jack!

Now, that's a scream!

- How was the level?

- More on the scream.

- I don't wanna distort it.

- Come on. Bring it up.

- All right. I'll give it more the next time.

- That's wonderful.

- What'd you think of the rest of the mix?

- Uh, OK. On the beginning...

It's a good scream.

It's a good scream.

It's a good scream.
