Film Transcript / Subtitles

As America pays tribute to its bicentennial anniversary, it is difficult to imagine how today's average citizen could emulate the heroic feats of a Paul Revere, Nathan Hale, or Patrick Henry. But the Seoul Leather Council is suggesting exactly that. A great American feat that can collectively help solve one of our country's most critical problems. It's called walking. The courageous act of putting one foot in front of the other in such a way as to propel the body forward to a predetermined point, such as the post office, a friend's house, or the commuter station. If every American substituted his feet for his automobile for one mile of travel on a given day, we would collectively save five million gallons of gasoline that day. If that happened every day, we would reduce our gasoline usage by almost two billion gallons a year. Not to mention our waistlines. Walking and energy saving naturally help the Declaration of Independence for today's patriot. So feet, do your stuff. And to ensure proper support, protection, and insulation, suggest the Seoul Leather Council. Be sure to do it in all leather shoes. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. Hold out one, stroke and control. We'll be right back. We'll bodice for the same time for a charismatic question. America Joes.
