2:15:09
- Excuse me, sir.
- It's all right.
2:15:14
Now that you've studied the Caine
up close, do you like her better?
2:15:22
- The tour was very interesting.
- Is the ship too messy for you?
2:15:26
The question is,
"Is this mess a ship?"
2:15:33
It's decent of you to join us.
I didn't think you had time.
2:15:38
Even the greatest of
literary artists gets hungry.
2:15:42
Pull up a chair, Tom, and
cast some pearls before the swine.
2:15:47
I have to protect these fresh young
faces from the captain's badgering.
2:15:53
I'm just conducting
a one-man board of inquiry.
2:15:57
I'm trying to find out if
Ensign Keith wants to stay on board.
2:16:02
There is no escape from the Caine.
We are all doing penance.
2:16:06
Sentenced to an outcast ship, manned
by outcasts, named after an outcast.
2:16:11
- Here we go again.
- It's a fact.
2:16:16
I've been trying for two years to be
relieved of command without luck.
2:16:22
But then... I don't have
Ensign Keith's influence.
2:16:28
I don't understand.
2:16:32
I received this dispatch from
Admiral Wards about an hour ago.
2:16:38
"Will request transfer to my staff
for Ensign Willis Steward Keith."
2:16:43
"Understand of course
needs of USS Caine have priority."
2:16:48
- I didn't know anything about this.
- Could be coincidence.
2:16:55
Or someone pulling strings.
2:16:58
What'll it be? The admiral's staff
or the hell of the Caine?
