- Narrator: [opening Lyrics] Shake hands with danger/ Any guy oughta know/ I used to laugh at safety/ But now they call me... Three Finger Joe
- Boss: [after getting the worker off the machinery with the engine running] What if he bumped the control by accident? You'd be mincemeat by now! What have I told ya? You DON'T work on machinery with the engine running!
- Worker: I told him not to touch anything... alright, I guess I wasn't thinking.
- Boss: You weren't thinking? You mean you'll work on engines and machinery and not think of your own personal safety?
- [Takes Worker's wrench]
- Boss: Here!
- [Gives it back]
- Boss: Shake hands with danger!
- [Theme song starts]
- Narrator: Shake hands with danger/ Take the chance that you won't fall/ You'll save yourself a minute/ But you may damn well lose it all!
- Narrator: Glenn knows the risk of striking hard against badly chipped metal, but he's wearing safety glasses and there's a macho thing involved here. Glenn doesn't want his friend to sneer at him for being overly cautious. So, Glenn shakes hands with danger.
- [Glenn hits the metal and gets wounded]
- Narrator: Glenn's friend may have laughed at him for insisting on playing it safe, but he sure as hell ain't laughing now.
- Narrator: [Closing lyrics] Shake hands with danger / The friends I used to know / Compared to them, I'm lucky / To be just... Three-Finger Joe
