| - | When I was a boy, I used to run to his office. | 0:01 |
| The guys liked to kid me. | 0:05 | |
| Running to a dentist, | 0:06 | |
| but he was some dentist. | 0:08 | |
| His name was Dr. Bran. | 0:10 | |
| And he always let me come five minutes early, | 0:13 | |
| just so I could see his lab. | 0:15 | |
| He let me touch things and tell me about them. | 0:19 | |
| I used to get so excited. | 0:23 | |
| I, I tell Dr. Bran I was going to be a dentist | 0:24 | |
| when I grew up | 0:27 | |
| and he pat my head and say, fine, fine. | 0:28 | |
| Only he never told me how hard it was to become one. | 0:33 | |
| When I was older I learned | 0:37 | |
| he went to college for eight years | 0:39 | |
| and had to study dozens of subjects, | 0:42 | |
| not just dental ones, | 0:44 | |
| but physiology and anatomy and bacteriology. | 0:46 | |
| Of course, I didn't know that then. | 0:51 | |
| All I knew was that | 0:53 | |
| going to Dr. Bran's was better than the movies. | 0:55 | |
| Somehow I, I never did become a dentist, | 0:58 | |
| but I'm sure glad Dr. Brand did. | 1:02 | |
| What he showed me about taking care of my teeth | 1:05 | |
| has given me what he calls, a smile for life. | 1:08 |
