Rep. Velazquez reminds the actor in this speech of the importance, the necessity, of finding the right words to convey the images/thoughts that are driving those words to make the person who listens to her see what she sees in her mind's eye. Note the clarity of the words and her emphasis on words like troops, fight, kick, blood. When the actor understands and is determined that her partner perceives her ideas, she won't smudge or contract the words of a sentence as do so many actors who are performing today. Note as well the lesson here that emotion is derived from cognition - always! The actor who reaches for an emotion or a "mood" is bound to deliver an indicated performance.
