First example of letter A:

Sargent Mark: [after the usual lines] Exactly. But, what if your flanks suddenly by an "M" and an "N"? Sound?

[he says his short sound]

Sargent Mark: Word!

[he says "Man!"]

Sargent Mark: Well done, soldier. But what if an "I" slips through the lines and stands next to you? What's the general rule, soldiers? [When two vowels stand side by side, the first one says its name with pride.] Right. So what's your sound now, Vowel A?

[he says his long sound]

Sargent Mark: Word!

[he says "Main!"]

Sargent Mark: Correct. You are my main man. [then says the ending line for A]
