:21:00
- Good night, Charmaine.
- Good-bye, Captain.
:21:02
- Good-bye, Sergeant.
- Good-bye.
:21:08
Replacement, huh?
Don't try anything while I'm gone.
:21:10
I broke you in China for something
like this and I'll break you again.
:21:13
- Whatever happened to that little girl?
- What little girl?
:21:15
- Don't give me that!
The one in Chefoo, China.
- Captain, I saved your life.
:21:19
If it hadn't been for me you'd have married
that little girl and right now...
:21:21
be running a Chinese laundry
with the seat of your pants
hanging out between your knees.
:21:23
- What happened to her?
- What happened to the battleship Maine?
:21:40
- Platoon commanders aboard, sir.
- Send 'em in.
:21:45
Wait a minute.
Who's senior?
:21:48
Aldrich.
:21:51
Attention!
:21:59
Gentlemen, this is First Sergeant Quirt
who'll be in charge here.
:22:04
This is Lieutenant Aldrich,
Lieutenant Moore, Lieutenant Schmidt.
:22:07
Aldrich, you are senior here,
aren't you?
:22:09
Yes, sir. Two days
ahead of the others, sir.
:22:11
You'll be in command.
:22:13
Ask Quirt for any advice you need.
I'll be back Wednesday week.
:22:17
Now, men, Sergeant Quirt...
:22:19
is one of the best darn soldiers that
ever tore up a memorandum receipt.
:22:23
I have soldiered with him
all over the world.
:22:26
And there isn't a finer, cleaner,
smarter marine afloat than Quirt...
:22:31
when he's sober.
:22:33
And while he's sober, he'll run this outfit
whether I'm here or absent.
:22:37
But, uh, Quirt... loves the bottle.
:22:40
And when he's drunk,
he is the lousiest...
:22:43
filthiest tramp that
ever wore a uniform.
:22:46
He's even worse than I am. And I don't
allow anybody to get as bad as that.
:22:50
If he tanks up, I'll bust him.
:22:53
I busted him before
and I'll bust him again.
:22:55
Get that, Aldrich.
:22:58
The first time you find him down in
the square with his face in the dirt...
