As you all know, our country has been in a period of financial struggle since the war, and we did the first Long Walk all those years ago to inspire and re-integrate the value of work ethic. Each year after the event, there's a spike in production. We have the means to return to our former glory. Our problem now is an epidemic of laziness. You boys are the answer. The Long Walk is the answer. When this is broadcast for all the states, your inspiration will continue to elevate our gross national product. We will be number one in the world again!

"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 fuckin' win? [cheers from the Walkers] I said, who's ready to fuckin' win? [louder cheers; he fires a pistol into the air to start the Walk] Luck to all, and remember. Anyone can win."
