April 9th Transcript -- Transcribed by LukePhiladelphia

 * Sue Ellen: I remember like it was yesterday. I was in a good mood that morning, because the day before I had recieved a postcard from my friend Carlos, in Coachabama, Bolivia. And it was a beautiful day. I remember that, too. Just a beautiful normal day in early spring. Who would have thought that it would change so many people?
