It is a completely self contained city. Every single commercial item produced throughout the entire world can be obtained on these 350 floors. [The helijet continues to descend.] A person could live a whole year without moving from one of the rooms of the 12 hotels, which are housed in the Tower. Half a mile wide and 2 miles deep, it is a stupendous feat of engineering skill and commercial achievement. And beneath the great structure, is a massive sub-basement with a honeycomb of corridors, and parking space for 10,000 automobiles. A monorail 4 miles long links the parking area with the store."

The Carter's are standing in the middle of one.] [The Carters continue on. Scene cuts to the underground parking lot. The fire has started to rage now. One of the vehicles gives off an explosion. Cuts to a close up view of an alarm system box. The little needle points to the red section. Scene cuts to above the ground. Camera pans over to the significantly smaller Thompson Tower Control centre. Cuts to Control interior.
