And we get to the bridge and I ' m like , " Guys , why don ' t we just literally list the things that we have seen ? And then say something like , ' Don ' t you tell me he can ' t do it .' Something with some guts that ' s going to make the enemy mad ." And so , we begin to literally list out , what are the things ?
