First example of letter I:

Sargent Mark: Suddenly, an R, the P, capture the picture-action. What do you sound like, soldier?

[he says his short sound]

Sargent Mark: Word!

[he says "Rip!"]

Sargent Mark: Now suppose an E slips in on his right flank without making a sound. What's the drill, soldiers? [When E on the end plays a no-talking game, the vowel before it says its name.] And now what's your sound, Private I?

[he says his long sound]

Sargent Mark: Word!

[he says "Ripe!"]

Sargent Mark: Yes, ripe! Ha! Let's rip it up, Vowel Squad, and go make some words! [then says the ending line for I]
