Please read
your comments on Mr Maryk.
3:47:07
The court can't hear you.
3:47:11
"This officer
has improved in performance."
3:47:15
"He's consistently loyal,
courageous and efficient."
3:47:19
"He's recommended
for transfer to the regular navy."
3:47:23
Did you turn your ship upside down
searching for a phantom key?
3:47:28
I don't know what lies have been
sworn to here, but a key did exist.
3:47:35
The witness is understandably
agitated. I request a recess.
3:47:40
I don't want a recess.
3:47:44
- Did you conduct such a search?
- Yes.
3:47:47
My disloyal officers failed me,
and the key couldn't be found.
3:47:51
Wasn't this whole fuss
over a quart of strawberries?
3:47:55
The pilfering of food is a very
serious occurrence on board a ship.
3:48:01
You were told that the mess boys
ate the berries. There was no key.
3:48:05
The key was not imaginary. I don't
know anything about the mess boys.
3:48:12
Have you no recollection of
a conversation with Ensign Harding?
3:48:19
Didn't he tell you that
the mess boys ate the strawberries?
3:48:23
I remember he was grateful
for his transfer. His wife was ill.
3:48:29
Do you know
where Ensign Harding is now?
3:48:33
He's in San Diego. He can be flown
up here in three hours if necessary.
3:48:40
- Shall we have him testify?
- No, I...
3:48:47
I don't see any need of that.
3:48:51
Now that I recall, he might have
said something about mess boys.
3:48:57
I questioned many men, and Harding
was not the most reliable officer.
