• Ensign Jere Torrey : Leaving, sir?

  Captain Rockwell Torrey : Yes. Before I pick you up and throw you to the fish.

• Captain Paul Eddington : Lieutenant, I don't know the situation between you and your father, but let me tell you this: Bums like your friend Owynn are with us always, like bad weather. But sailors like your old man only happen once in a while

  Ensign Jere Torrey : I'm afraid I cannot accept your evaluation of Commander Owynn.

  Captain Paul Eddington : Well , I'm afraid I cannot accept you as Rock Torrey's son. I think somebody got in there ahead of him.

  Ensign Jere Torrey : Now wait a minute, Eddington!

  Captain Paul Eddington : *Captain* Eddington. Yes?

• Commander Egan Powell : Gottlieb! Tuthill!

  [as Gottlieb and Tuthill leave the washroom, Powell takes out a quarter, tosses it, and covers it on his arm] 

  Captain Paul Eddington : Heads.

  Commander Egan Powell : [uncovers the quarter and inspects it, laughing]  Good-bye, Commander! Enjoy it!

  [Exit] 

  Cmdr. Neal Owynn : Now what do you suppose he meant by that?

  Captain Paul Eddington : Well, aren't you going with Broderick?

  Cmdr. Neal Owynn : Why, no, I...

  Captain Paul Eddington : I think you are.

  Cmdr. Neal Owynn : Now wait a m...

  Captain Paul Eddington : [slaps Owynne backhanded]  Now I don't care how you do it, but you'd better be on that plane with Broderick - unless you want to be buried on the island of Gavabutu.

  Cmdr. Neal Owynn : You can't do that to m...

  Captain Paul Eddington : [forehand slap]  I *am* doing it. We've got a job here, and neither you nor Broderick nor anybody else is going to screw it up. Understand?

  [Another forehand slap] 

  Captain Paul Eddington : Hmm? And take this punk with you.

  [Exit] 

  Cmdr. Neal Owynn : I'll have him court-martialled - striking a fellow officer. And you saw it! I didn't hit him back.

  [looks at his cut lip in a hand mirror] 

  Ensign Jere Torrey : I didn't see anything!

  Cmdr. Neal Owynn : What do you mean, you didn't see anything?

  Ensign Jere Torrey : As far as I'm concerned, a coconut fell through the roof and hit you in the mouth. So you better figure out some excuse to get us on that plane with Broderick.

  Cmdr. Neal Owynn : How'd you like to be transferred back to PT Boats, fella? 'Cause one word from me to Broderick and you're on your way!

  Ensign Jere Torrey : Say the word!

  [exit, leaving Owynne to look at his cut lip again] 

• Captain Rockwell Torrey : Well, I'm here to see a nurse. What are you here for?

  Ensign Jere Torrey : To see a nurse.

  Captain Rockwell Torrey : It looks like we have something in common after all.

  Ensign Jere Torrey : I'm just a chip off the old block, sir!

• Ensign Jere Torrey : Skipper, if I let you down, will you please shoot me?

  PT Boat skipper : Sure.

• Ensign Jere Torrey : [Jere isn't enjoying the meeting with his father]  Sir, Why did you come here?

  Captain Rockwell Torrey : Let's just say I did, and leave it at that.
