086:24:58 Armstrong: Up there? We should be getting Earthshine - Earthrise features - should be coming up pretty soon.
086:25:10 Collins: Black and white [magazine].
086:25:12 Armstrong: There’s a colored one right in there - I didn’t think we put it there. [Garble].

086:25:35 Armstrong: There’s this one - where’s...?
086:25:39 Collins: The dark slide I think is right over there in the girth shelf.
086:25:42 Armstrong: Oh, yes, I got it.
086:26:59 Aldrin: That’s - that’s the one.

086:28:52 Aldrin: Yes.
086:28:53 Collins: Good deal. Keep working, you got a lot of film. [...]
086:30:06 Aldrin: Yes, I guess so. Nothing like filming your [planet].
086:30:22 Aldrin: [Garble] this field of view, it’s mostly just blues. I keep getting mostly black and blue.
