5	00:00 to 00:24 -- Introducing the Race (into, out of, up, down, around)	The Workday -- Introduction
6	Welcome to Preposition Park!	Hello! I have to tell you about my day at work!
7	Today's contestants will have to go into, out of, up, down and around a variety of dangerous obstacles so YOU can learn how to use prepositions of movement.	It was a real race from start to finish. I started out early because our projects were behind schedule
8	The contestants are about to start.	.
9	Let's join them in the park.	I joined up with my co-workers for breakfast in the café across the street from the office.
10	00:24 to 01:01 -- First Challenge (across)
11	The first challenge is to get across Alligator river.	The Workday -- At the Breakfast Meeting
12	OOOooooohhh!	At breakfast, we had a meeting with the people in accounting.
13	Steph reaches the river first.	We needed to get across to them the kind of budget we needed.
14	She's taking the bridge across the river.	Our own factory was really backed up; so, we might not get to our goal in time for the summer sales season.
15	It's the easiest way across -- but also the longest!	That would take a big bite out of our profits!
16	Alan decided to swing across the river.	Outsourcing to an additional plant would be the easiest and fastest solution.
17	Hope he doesn't get bitten!	Our chief engineer did swing by to explain the technical details.
18	Jessica is taking the zipline across.
19	And she gets to the other side first!
20	01:01 to 01:57 -- Second Challenge	The Workday -- The Company's Office Building
21	Next, the contestants have to jump over the three pits, each more dangerous than the last.	After breakfast, I hurried across the street and into the company's building.
22	Jessica jumps over the fire pit easily, then the snake pit.	I jumped into the elevator and got to my office on the 3rd floor first, before anybody else arrived.
23	Oooh, she landed in the quicksand!	Well, the President of the company might have arrived before me because he arives in a helicopter.
24	She'll have a hard time getting out of there.	He flies over the city and lands on the roof of the building.
25	Alan is next.
26	He has an easy time jumping over the first two pits.	The Workday -- In the Office
27	And look at that!	There has been a recent shortage of hardware we use which has landed us in hot water.
28	He stopped to help Jessica out of the quicksand!	My boss went over some ways to get around the problem.
29	Meanwhile, Steph jumps over the fire pit easily.	This is a situation we can’t run away from.
30	Wait, what is she doing?	And we must get out of the production slowdown it has caused.
31	She's going around the snake pit!	Our suppliers are willing to help us out with new, alternative products and ideas.
32	Is that even allowed?
33	Uh oh!
34	The snakes are slithering toward her.
35	And she's running away from them fast!
36	Run to the forest! Run!
37	01:57 to 02:50 -- Third Challenge
38	Now for the third obstacle.
39	Steph has to crawl under the electric wires, then into one of the three dark pipes.	The Workday -- Safety Rules
40	Steph chooses pipe number one.	Then production held a meeting to go through their new safety rules in detail.
41	She crawls into the pipe, followed by Alan, who chooses pipe number three.	The manager was under the weather.
42	And Jessica is last to crawl under the wires, so she gets pipe number two!	But his assistant figured out how to run his pre-recorded video presentation.
43	The contestants are all crawling through their pipes.	Production had an OSHA citation last year.
44	Jessica comes out of her pipe at the bottom of the mountain, ready for the final challenge.	However, they got to the bottom of their problem and came out ahead in the long run with more efficient procedures.
45	Uh oh! Alan has come out of the pipe as well and into the dirty pond. Gross!
46	Where is Steph?
47	Oh there she is, coming out of pipe number one at the beginning.
48	She chose poorly, and has to crawl into and through pipe number two.
49	02:50 to 03:32 -- Fourth Challenge	The Workday -- At Lunch
50	Jessica has started the final challenge, with Alan right behind her.	At lunch I cheered up.
51	They must climb up the mountain, and along the edge of a steep cliff.	My friend Tony from Marketing caught me up on his news. There was a steep increase in new clients.
52	They are both scared but doing well!	Although sales fell off last winter, the buildup of new, local customers has offset that
53	Ooops, Alan almost fell of the cliff, but Jessica has saved him.	Then, Judy in HR said her new interns are getting along well.
54	They're really looking out for each other.	She thanked everybody for looking out for them.
55	Meanwhile, here comes Steph, up the mountain and along the cliff edge in a hurry.	The Workday -- A Fire Alarm
56	Careful girl!	After lunch we started upgrading the computer system.
57	They have gotten to the top.	But toward the end of the day the fire alarm went off!
58	And there are three ways off of the mountain.	We grabbed essential belongings and got out of the building.
59	03:32 to 04:01 -- Fifth Challenge	I was frustrated but tried to calm down.
60	Alan chooses to fly off of the mountain.	This was probably just a breakdown in the alarm system.
61	And Jessica decides to ski down.	But we didn’t need another slowdown in our work!
62	Steph is last, and she grabs a parachute.
63	Oh, it's a close race.
64	All three are racing toward the finish line.
65	It's going to be close!	The Workday -- A Successful Computer Upgrade
66	04:01 to 04:38 -- End of Race	Luckily the upgrade had been going forward onto the final stages, automatically, at that point.
67	It's a photo finsih. And the winner is.... It's incredible!	It finished up OK by itself while we were standing around outside the building.
68	All three crossed the finish line at the exact same time!	Back in the building, we celebrated having survived the upgrade in good shape.
69	We have three winners today!	The new software really was a winner!
70	Our contestants are all going onto the podium together.
71	What a beautiful moment!
72	We're just glad they all survived!
