| Narrator | This is Mount Shasta in California. | 0:02 |
| 14,162 feet high. | 0:05 | |
| (soft wind howling) | 0:07 | |
| Because Americans needs | 0:09 | |
| more oil than ever before, | 0:10 | |

| Now, to give you an idea of just | 0:21 | |
| how deep that is, try to imagine drilling | 0:22 | |

| And right here in Louisiana, | 0:42 | |

| Even if we have to drill deeper | 0:52 | |
| but Mount Shasta is high to do it. | 0:53 | |
| (dramatic fanfare music continues) | 0:55 | |
