Culver, you—I know you're upset, but we talked about this, right?
Look, it's a little like football.

Two vehicles down.

Gentlemen, this is a skilled and highly prepared enemy who has coordinated a citywide attack.
Since I'm not gonna be here for Christmas this year, I thought maybe we could celebrate early.

I am anxious.
We are all so anxious.
I don't see any hostiles.
Maybe it's over now.

[Applause]
[Music]

I just gotta go.
I gotta go help some people.
Why?
Those guys in my platoon and my family too.
