Tim: Today, Al and I are talking about cranes.
Al: A subject near and dear to my heart.
Tim: Al here is kind of a crane nut.
Al: Yes, Tim, I am. As a matter of fact, after my stint in the navy, I spent a year as a crane operator. I've lifted some mighty heavy loads in my day.
Tim: You make this so easy.
Al: Even before that, as a youngster, I used to build model cranes. And I ended up with quite an eclectic collection. Marv, you wanna come in and get a closer look at all this? Now, I have to say I'm especially proud of my first crane. I spent the better part of sixth grade crafting it. It's made entirely out of Popsicle sticks.
