NARRATOR: Marineris D.C.: Sergeant Schlock is heading back to the Barsoom Circus in a panic.
Note for obsessive time-keepers: Kerchak won't put pants on for another 188 hours.
Vidscreen Ad: HELLO, SHOPPER! THIS IS A TARGETED AD JUST FOR YOU!
Vidscreen Ad: Sergeant, you are being followed. Take the next storm drain, and follow the red conduits uphill.
No time to explain. We cannot afford to be overheard.
SCHLOCK: Are you talking to me?
Vidscreen Ad: NEED PANTS? SHOP AT CARTER'S SHORT-AND-WIDE! AND REMEMBER, VERTICAL STRIPES ARE SLIMMING!
