  • At 2:15, 2:24, 2:33, & 2:42 a modulated voice appears in the left channel saying "You'll do anything"
  • A looping sample appears after 2:15 saying 'six.'
  • Starting at 2:15, there's a high-pitched vocal out the right channel that says "chemtrails" with a sibilant "s" when reversed.
  • At 3:00, a female voice says "I have a feeling that we will have been..."
  • At 3:14, a sample is heard that can also be heard at 2:42 in "Rue the Whirl" from MHTRTC.
  • At 3:16, a female voice says "Thirty."
  • At 3:55, iconic Doctor Who theme plays, heard briefly.
  • Directly after the 'thank you' sample, a voice in the right channel may be responding with 'goodbye' or 'goodnight'. [AB]
