Bus driver: Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention. The next stop on this bus is 8th Avenue. After 8th Avenue, this bus will express to 38th & 8th. If you want to go to stops on 34th Street you must get off at this stop and change busses. Now I know some of you will come to me and say, "No, no, no!
Where are you going?
I need to get off!", but it will already be too late. You will have to get off the bus at 38th Street and walk down to 34th where you can catch a cross town bus to 9th & 10th Avenues. Thank you for listening to this announcement.

Conductor: This is 15th Street/Prospect Park. Up above is Bartel Pritchard Square, although it's not a square, it's circular. It's been here a long time and it's never been a square. At least not as long as I have been here. Fort Hamilton is next. Stand clear.
