Billiard shot.
:25:01
By the way, there's a man
from the forward room.
:25:04
Wants to see you on a matter
of vital importance.
:25:08
- Torpedoman Adams.
- Send him in.
:25:18
I was told I'd have to ask you, sir.
:25:25
Go ahead. Ask me.
:25:27
Sir, at sub school, we saw a lot
of pictures of submariners...
:25:30
...coming back from patrols with beards.
:25:34
- So you want to grow one?
- Yes, sir.
:25:39
- Think you can?
- Sir, I'd like to find out.
:25:43
Well, I'll tell you, Adams.
:25:46
First patrol, we all grew beards.
I had a pip.
:25:49
The second patrol was
half and half.
:25:51
Then we decided beards are itchy.
They get greasy. We keep a trim ship.
:25:55
Makes sense we have a trim crew
to man her.
:25:57
Yes, sir.
:25:59
But I don't want to cheat you
of a beard on your first patrol.
:26:02
Oh, that's all right, sir.
I only shave twice a week anyway.
:26:06
If I could grow one,
it'd look a little limp.
:26:08
I'll stick to shaving twice a week, sir.
:26:12
Maybe when we get back,
you'll be shaving three times a week.
:26:16
Thank you, sir. I guess I'd better
get back and do what I was doing.
:26:20
Thank you.
