'We were in Staten Island, and we couldn't find the ticket office!'

Sean hunts for the ticket office for the Staten Island ferry under the watchful eyes of the New York police.

Sal contacts the programme to say that Sean has picked up a fan, himself, in Staten Island New York.

"I was in Staten Island," Sean says. "How we got there, I don't know, and correct me if I'm wrong, Sal. This is myself and The Undertone. We were there to record Gerry Anderson, who was running in the New York Marathon. We went to the ferry port to get the ferry back and the Undertone and I were busy looking for the ticket office. The ferry was coming in. We couldn't see the ticket office. The Undertone said, 'You go this way, I'll go that!' and meanwhile we noticed there were two cops watching us. We still couldn't find the ticket office. So I approached them, and told them that we were trying to buy tickets for the ferry. 'We figured that,' the cops said. 'There isn't a ticket office. It's a free service.' Am I right, Sal? have I got that right Sal, or am I beginning to lose it?"
