Start: Well. Some of you are here for sport and some of you are here for skill and some of you are here because you get a kick out of killing bears and some of you are here because it got your ass out of the army on a good note and some of you are here because you have nowhere else to go.

[... ... ...]

End: So, if you don’t want to go down to the wreckage tomorrow, then I’m sure I can rely on one of your fellow crew members to be a good sport. You got your f#$&ing cliff, Dunn. Now how about a nice f#$&ing rabbit dinner. Who’s next?
