Handsigned and annotated by Apollo 13 Capcom Jack Lousma with probably one of the most understated comments in space history:

056:03:17 Swigert: Okay, Houston. Are you still reading 13?
056:03:20 Lousma: That's affirmative. We're reading you. We're trying to come up with some good ideas here for you.
