Coming soon to a theatre near you

Gravelly Voice Guy: In a world where human technology has propelled us into space...

(Montage of Apollo launch, Sputnik in orbit, Skylab, Hubble telescope, Mars rover, etc etc etc)

GVG: ...Where man has reached the moon....

(Grainy archive footage of moon landing with Armstrong saying "That's one small step for man...")

GVG: ...ONE BAT chose to defy the odds.

(Closeup of tiny bat clinging to Space Shuttle fuel tank during launch. Swelling violin motif.)

GVG: And make his mark...

(Pull back to distance shot of the Shuttle; v/o countdown. Violins grow ever more inspiring)

GVG: On histor--

(Liftoff. Standard giant fiery cloud of toxic vapour as Shuttle roars into atmosphere at bone-liquefying G-forces. Violins, too close to launch site, are vaporised)

GVG: ...Ah, shit. (pause) Wanna go get a coffee or something?
