CAPCOM: Good morning Atlantis! And a special good morning this morning to you Dex.

Pilot Alan Poindexter: Good morning Shannon. Thanks very much for that wonderful music this morning written by a good friend of mine. I'd like to say a special good morning to my lovely wife Lisa and my two boys Zach and Sam. Hope everything is going well today. We're looking forward to a great day on orbit and a great EVA. We'll have Rex and Hans out the door real soon!

CAPCOM: And we agree! It's going to be a great day today!
