   Bill McGann (voiceover):

   Our job, as scientists in the world...

2. Interior – Laboratory. Medium Shot – Bill McGann. EntryScan Chamber in background.

   Bill McGann (continued):

   is to take credible science and transition it into practical technology.

3. Montage of Shots of Kevin Perry manipulating a touch screen pad as Tim Kirk observes, and various mechanisms on tables.

   Kevin Perry (voiceover):

   Uh, I was always interested in science and technology. Don't like to admit it, but my mother thought I was kind of a geek when...

4. Interior – Laboratory. Medium Shot – Kevin Perry. EntryScan Chamber in background.

   Kevin Perry (continued):

   I was younger. Uh, playing with the Tinkertoys and taking...

5. Montage of Shots of the EntryScan chamber in the laboratory.

   Kevin Perry (voiceover) (continued):

   things apart. EntryScan is a non-contact detection device.

   Tim Kirk (voiceover):

   Everybody wants to know...

6. Interior – Laboratory. Medium Close Shot – Tim Kirk.

   Tim Kirk (continued):

   oh, the puffer machine, oh yeah, what—what the heck's that thing do?

7. Montage of Shots of the EntryScan Chamber, featuring lit symbols.

   Bill McGann (voiceover):

   The basic concept for the system is for screening people...

8. Interior – Laboratory. Medium Shot – Bill McGann. EntryScan Chamber in background.

   Bill McGann (continued):

   as they come through a control...

9. High Angle Medium Shot – Back View of lower body of Tim. He steps away left and into the EntryScan Chamber.

   Bill McGann (voiceover) (continued):

   checkpoint.

   Tim Kirk (voiceover):

   If you could imagine going into a phone booth...

10. Interior – Laboratory. Medium Close Shot – Tim Kirk.

    Tim Kirk (continued):

    without closing the door behind you, and hearing a voice boom from overhead say air puffers on.

    Mechanical Voice (voiceover):

    (overlapping) Air puffers on.

11. High Angle Medium Shot – Back View of lower body of Tim. Camera tilts up along Tim's body as air sprays on his clothes.

    Mechanical Voice (voiceover):

    Wait for green light.

    [Air Puffs]

12. Medium Shot – Tim Kirk.

    Tim Kirk:

    The whole purpose of the puffing of air is not to scare you.

13. Series of Quick Shots of Tim in the EntryScan having his clothing shaken by air puffing.

    Tim Kirk (voiceover):

    It's to do nothing more than shake your clothing.

14. Interior – Laboratory. Close Shot – Bill McGann. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Bill McGann:

    In that process, what happens is, particulate materials, invisible, tiny amounts of particles will be liberated from the rattling of your clothes into this air flow.

15. Medium Close Shot – Mike Patterson. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Mike Patterson:

    The particles are then carried up by the human convection plume, which your body gives off a natural heat, about fifty liters per second of air comes off the top of your body.

16. Medium Full Shot – Mike Patterson standing in the EntryScan Chamber. Camera tilts up to the GE logo and a green light at the top of the chamber.

    Bill McGann (voiceover):

    And then, by a quiet period of another four or five seconds...

17. Close Shot – Bill McGann. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Bill McGann (continued):

    in which case, an analysis on that sample is collected and done.

18. Close Shot – a monitor screen displaying data and a graph. Camera zooms in on the screen.

    Tim Kirk (voiceover):

    Really what it's doing is just collecting particles...

19. Medium Close Shot – Tim Kirk.

    Tim Kirk (continued):

    ionizing them, then measuring their time of flight.

20. Side Angle Medium Shot – Bill McGann pressing buttons on a touch screen. Camera tilts down and zooms in on his finger as he presses buttons.

    Bill McGann (voiceover):

    Trace detection is a very, very sensitive detection and identification...

21. Medium Close Shot – Bill McGann. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Bill McGann (continued):

    of substances in the world that are not detectable by any other means.

    Kevin Perry (voiceover):

    It's...

22. Medium Close Shot – Kevin Perry. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Kevin Perry (continued):

    all cutting edge technology.

23. Montage of Shots of a staff worker in a hallway, and various mechanisms, including a "MobileTrace" machine.

    Kevin Perry (voiceover):

    I couldn't imagine working on anything else.

    Mike Patterson (voiceover):

    A lot of times, engineers...

24. Interior – Laboratory. Medium Close Shot – Mike Patterson. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Mike Patterson (continued):

    you develop pieces of a product...

25. Side Angle Medium Full Shot – Mike Patterson leaning over a machine.

    Mike Patterson (voiceover) (continued):

    but here we develop a product from start to finish. The team is...

26. Medium Close Shot – Mike Patterson. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Mike Patterson (continued):

    excellent. We have...

27. Montage of Scenes of staff workers operating various pieces of equipment.

    Mike Patterson (voiceover) (continued):

    uh, lots of sharp folks here. They are dynamic. They really enjoy what they do.

    Bill McGann (voiceover):

    There are...

28. Interior – Laboratory. Medium Close Shot – Bill McGann. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Bill McGann (continued):

    many, many wide-ranging applications where trace detection technology just...

29. Montage of Shots of a screen displaying data on a graph, and various pieces of machinery.

    Bill McGann (voiceover) (continued):

    like this can be used, even all the way over to healthcare. People use canines, dogs, for...

30. Interior – Laboratory. Medium Close Shot – Bill McGann. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Bill McGann (continued):

    sniffing out certain diseases among humans.

31. Montage of Shots of pieces of machinery in the laboratory.

    Bill McGann (voiceover):

    This technology would be outstanding for that application. That is an area which I have always felt has...

32. Interior – Laboratory. Medium Close Shot – Bill McGann. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Bill McGann (continued):

    great promise in the future.

    Tim Kirk (voiceover):

    It...

33. Medium Shot – Tim Kirk.

    Tim Kirk (continued):

    really does feel empowering to...

34. Montage of Shots of the EntryScan Chamber and a poster hanging on the wall that reads MobileTrace.

    Tim Kirk (voiceover) (continued):

    know that what you're doing is...

35. Interior – Laboratory. Medium Shot – Tim Kirk.

    Tim Kirk (continued):

    making the world safer.

36. Close Shot – Bill McGann. EntryScan Chamber in background.

    Bill McGann:

    Looking back, uh, on your career as a-- as a-- as a person who's been a career scientist, say the things that you've done that have been good for you, for your business, and for the world...

37. Low Angle Full Shot – Bill McGann standing beside the EntryScan Chamber.

    Bill McGann (voiceover) (continued):

    this is a home run.
