It climaxes in an ascending "aaaah" from the Ford voices that transports us into the third instrumental...

He persuaded the center's farmers to dedicate part of their pasture to geese and to feed them the highest quality organic corn. There was only one problem: in his enthusiasm, Barber had somehow missed the importance of letting the birds forage for their own food. Accustomed to a steady supply of grain, Stone Barns' trial geese had no need to gorge themselves once the weather turned chilly. "They were delicious," recalls Barber.
