• (Seymour Cassel) "A lonely breed -- hard men, proud men -- not too proud to cry or shed a tear. The living embodiment of the American cowboy tradition. Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to honor this great native American son who gave his life for a cause so vital to us all, like so many great Americans before him had. As you can see, these truckers are going to start passing, paying their respects to their lost comrade, the Rubber Duck, in their Macks, their Jimmies, K-Whoppers, Fruitliners, garbage trucks, dump trucks and even limousines -- Truckers all. From the covered wagons and trains to the 18-wheelers that keep this country alive -- This controlled individualism made this cause so vital that I promise to take it to Washington and present it to the Senate myself."
