Subject: [PATCH] Setup shots: quote the real TTS cost, not "about a cent"

A measured run of the 80s NIMBY script came back at $0.1589 for 946 characters
- the ElevenLabs rate of $22 per 131,000 - so the copy understated it by more
than tenfold. Compute it from the words actually in the box instead.
