But it is a much bigger bank and its protective devices are correspondingly stronger and more ingenious. To penetrate them will require corresponding strength and ingenuity. That is the only novelty in my project--that it is a big one. Nothing else. Fort Knox is no more impregnable than other fortresses.

Of the 3rd Armored Division, there is only the Spearhead, but there are also the 6th Armored Cavalry Regiment, the 15th Armor Group, the 160th Engineer Group and approximately half a division from all units of the United States Army currently going through the Armored Replacement Training Center and Military Human Research Unit No 1. There is also a considerable body of men associated with Continental Armored Command Board No 2, the Army Maintenance Board and various activities connected with the Armored Center. In addition there is a police force consisting of twenty officers and some four hundred enlisted men. In short, out of a total population of some sixty thousand, approximately twenty thousand are combat troops of one sort or another.”

I'll just concentrate on my cooking!" Thing is you can't win, you idiot! I've got all the judges in my pocket! I thought I already shoved that little fact in your face! "Well, he certainly is the odd young man." "Yes..." "Uh, y-you can start cooking now!" "Man, Yukihira! You sure got a spine on ya!" "If that's what you wanna call it, I guess. I just can't get behind the idea that stuff can get decided without anybody having the chance to make even one dish first!" "Yep! Refreshingly honest and straightforward too!”
