Now, uh, I'm not going to go through the whole rule-book, but it boils down to this. Walk until there's only one of you left. Maintain a speed of three miles per hour. If you fall below the speed, you get a warning. If you can't make speed in ten seconds, you get an additional warning. Three warnings, you get your ticket. Walk one hour at speed, one warning is erased, and so on. If you step off the pavement, you will get your ticket without warning. The goal is to last the longest. There's one winner, and no finish line. Any of you can win. Any of you can do it if you walk long and steady enough, if you refuse to give up. I look at each and every one of you, and I see hope. Now, boys, who's set to ****in' win? [cheers from the Walkers] I said, who's ready to ****in' win? [louder cheers; he fires a pistol into the air to start the Walk] Luck to all, and remember. Anyone can win.

Raymond Garraty #47 C'mon, stop acting like you don't want me to get my ticket. I know you're just like the rest of 'em, man. Stop pretending like you don't wanna see me with a ****IN' BULLET IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD!
Raymond Garraty #47 You're paid to shoot me, not look at me, mother****er!
