Well, boys, I reckon this is it — benchmark combat toe to toe with the cooders. 
Now look, boys, I ain't much of a hand at makin' speeches, but I got a pretty 
fair idea that something doggone important is goin' on around there. And I got a 
fair idea the kinda personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinkin'. 
Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human bein's if you didn't have some pretty 
strong personal feelin's about benchmark combat. I want you to remember one 
thing, the folks back home is a-countin' on you and by golly, we ain't about to 
let 'em down. I tell you something else, if this thing turns out to be half as 
important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some 
important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with. That 
goes for ever' last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed. Now 
let's get this thing on the hump - we got some benchmarkin' to do.
