Hand me one of those towels over there in your box, will you?

Gus Grissom

Okay. Are they on top?

John Young

No, they're back in the back.

Gus Grissom

Hey! We're coming in on the night side.

Gus Grissom

Look at that night come up.

Gus Grissom

I ready you okay, Gordo. How do you read Molly Brown?

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Roger. How's your control system?

Gus Grissom

Cape CAP COM. How do you read Molly Brown?

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

I'm reading you weak but readable.

Gus Grissom

Yes, you are almost unreadable.

Gus Grissom

I said I can read you, Gordo.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Roger, I'm barely reading you also.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

How—is—your—control—system? Over.

Gus Grissom

That stuff goes right on by us.

John Young

Okay. That's right. Now I've got the suit closed.

Gus Grissom

There is lightning out there.

Gus Grissom

Look at that stuff going by. Oh boy! Really does sparkle doesn't it?

Gus Grissom

Now you can see those thrusters firing back there.

Gus Grissom

Now you give this blood pressure, don't you?

John Young

I'll give it. You want me to give it?

John Young

It says Command—Oh! Oral temperature.

Gus Grissom

Oh, I mean oral temp, John. Can you get the thermometer out?

Gus Grissom

I can't get the blood pressure bulb in.

John Young

Maybe you are pushing it in the wrong end.

John Young

Okay. We're back to NORMAL on the waste valve.

Gus Grissom

How can you tell the difference between the ends?

John Young

All I know is it won't insert in one end, and it does insert with the other. I never saw a blood pressure bulb like that before this flight.

John Young

Look at that! It's beautiful!

John Young

There's the Southern Cross and Alpha and Beta Centuri.

Gus Grissom

Are those thrusters firing?

John Young

Oh, you doing it?

Gus Grissom

Yes, we are yawing. I've got to keep it from yawing so far around.

John Young

Going to do this O2

John Young

Want me to put it back in and give them a blood pressure?

Gus Grissom

If you can get it in. I can't.

John Young

What time is it?

Gus Grissom

41 elapsed. I get CSQ at 42:19.
