3:53:01
- Who was standing guard
over this country of ours?
3:53:05
Not us. We knew you couldn't
make any money in the service.
3:53:09
Who did the dirty work for us?
Queeg did, and a lot of other guys.
3:53:14
Tough guys
who didn't crack up like Queeg.
3:53:17
Queeg endangered
the lives of the men.
3:53:21
He didn't endanger any lives.
You did. A fine bunch of officers.
3:53:26
- You said yourself he cracked.
- That's a very pretty point.
3:53:32
I left out one detail in court.
It wouldn't have helped our case.
3:53:37
At one point, Queeg came to you
for help, and you turned him down.
3:53:42
Yes, we did.
3:53:45
He wasn't worthy of your loyalty.
3:53:49
So you turned on him.
You made up songs about him.
3:53:53
If you'd been loyal to Queeg, do you
think all this would have come up?
3:53:58
I'm asking you, Steve. Would it
have been necessary to take over?
3:54:05
It probably
wouldn't have been necessary.
3:54:08
- If that's true, we were guilty.
- You're learning.
3:54:12
You don't work with the captain
because of his hairstyle. -
3:54:16
- But because he's got the job,
or you're no good.
3:54:21
The case is over.
You're all safe.
3:54:25
It was like
shooting fish in a barrel.
3:54:30
Now we come to the man
who should have stood trial.
3:54:34
The Shakespeare whose testimony
nearly sunk us all.
3:54:39
- Tell them, Keefer.
- You're telling it better.
3:54:46
You should read his testimony.
He never even heard of Queeg.
3:54:50
- Let's forget it.
- Queeg was sick.
3:54:54
But you're real healthy. You didn't
have one tenth the guts he had.
