| Narrator | It was about five in the morning. | 0:01 |
| I was on my way to meet my sister | 0:03 | |
| and attend her son's wedding. | 0:05 | |
| I was on route 17, in Vestal New York, | 0:07 | |
| when my car overheated. | 0:09 | |
| When I opened the hood the spark plug cables were on fire. | 0:12 | |
| Ah, luckily it happened just across from a Texaco station. | 0:16 | |
| (water spraying on metal) | 0:19 | |
| James Weaver, the night attendant, | 0:20 | |
| saw my trouble, and he ran over to help. | 0:21 | |
| Well, my car was a six year old Studebaker Hawk, | 0:24 | |
| so Mr. Weaver didn't have the cables that would fit, | 0:26 | |
| but he knew where to find them. | 0:31 | |
| He lent me his car to get them, and he made the repairs. | 0:32 | |
| That was a warm day for me in many respects. | 0:36 | |
| (car hood bangs closed) | 0:38 | |
| And all because of the unselfish service from this man. | 0:39 | |
| By 6:30 I was on my way, | 0:42 | |
| I made it to the reunion and the wedding on time. | 0:44 | |
| (inspiring happy music) | 0:47 | |
| Announcer | Another Texaco station | 0:48 |
| where the retailer has taken a business | 0:49 | |
| that's good for cars, | 0:50 | |
| and made it a business, | 0:52 | |
| good for people. | 0:53 |
