Characters: [Transcript Begin]
 * Lucretia Saint-Saëns
 * Aurelio "Reli" Domani

[They Might Be Giants, "Theme From Flood"]

Lucretia: Everybody's looking for something. Something, someone, somewhere... Sharks stop swimming, they tend to sink. And ain't that just the tragedy of it all? You're listening to KFAL, Barcelona midnight radio. Now, what's radio for guidance? Here with you in spirit, but always on the other side. Can't help you find what you need. Who you need. 'Cause chances are, he's not there.

[The Zombies, "She's Not There"]

Lucretia: We got a caller now, on the line, maybe with a song request. Behave yourself, baby, you're on the air.

Aurelio: Oh...! Uh, hello. Yeah... it's been a while since I've listened to this station. I'm coming back, after a few years... You mind playing this song for me? It's called "Down to the River," by Ben Caplan.

Lucretia: You got it, baby. Queueing it up right now.

Aurelio: Thanks... it'll be nice to see everyone again.

[Ben Caplan, "Down to the River"]

Lucretia: Now again, that was "Down to the River" by Ben Caplan. And that river does flow, as deep and dark and slow-moving as it does please. That's a funny thing, nobody'll tell you sometimes, though they all know. But it's too late. Tell me the way he looks, if you like. Voice soft and cool, eyes clear and bright. But I've got no guarantees, and sometimes, all we can do is look.

[Bauhaus, "The Spy in the Cab"]

[They Might Be Giants, "Lucky Ball and Chain"]

[The Eagles, "Hotel California"]

Lucretia: Stay warm, now, and look real close. See y'all next time.
