lf the manager says, ''Sacrifice,''
we lay down a bunt...

:25:15
...and let somebody else
hit the home runs.

:25:19
We know about those destroyers...

...out of commission,
tied up around San Diego.

:25:24
We could use them here...
:25:27
...but they're not around.

Our job is to lay down
that sacrifice.

:25:36
That's what we were trained for.
:25:38
That's what we'll do.
:25:41
Understand?
:25:58
Thank you.
