On the officiaI record

:11:40
You"ve chosen my way of Iife.
:11:43
I hope you have the guts
to endure it.
:11:47
But put out of your mind...
:11:49
any romantic ideas that
it"s a way of gIory.
:11:52
It"s a Iife of suffering and hardship.
:11:55
And uncompromising devotion
to your oath and your duty.

:12:01
Within proper Iimits, yes.
