Tighten the trailer to 1:30 and fix its two audio faults

Browse Source 
Cut 3 of LIFETIME MEMBERS: the intro music no longer runs into Reg's first
line, Ambrose finishes "...still waiting for a result" (line ends are now
measured off each take instead of the QA transcript), every shot is
tighter, and the black title cards are set larger. Cut 2 stays on disk
beside it as the reference.
