:16:02
Our objectives have nothing to do
with the situation.
:16:04
The Navy will see you're not penalized
for your absence from the institute.
:16:08
Arrangements will be made.
:16:09
Well, I feel
like I'm being drafted.
:16:16
You are.
:16:22
It was still too early for the world
to know what was going on...
:16:25
behind that closed door.
:16:26
Only a handful of men in high places
heard reports of progress made...
:16:30
and waited impatiently
for the final conclusion.
:16:32
Mathews speaking.
:16:34
Oh, yes, Admiral.
:16:36
Hold on a minute, sir.
:16:40
They're still making tests, sir.
There's nothing conclusive to tell you.
:16:43
I'll call you
the minute anything happens.
:16:45
Yes, sir.
Good night, sir.
:16:49
During 12 days and nights
nothing was certain.
:17:03
You people work hard.
:17:05
- It's our job.
- I didn't realize how hard.
:17:08
- Are you trying to apologize?
- In a way.
:17:11
- It's not necessary.
- I think it is.
:17:13
Let me explain something to you.
:17:17
A, I have been privileged to classify
an unknown sea specimen.
:17:20
B, I have the honor of working
with the greatJohn Carter of Harvard...
:17:23
the inventor of analytical biology.
:17:25
And C, my mind just isn't attuned to
discuss things on your level, Commander.
:17:29
I don't think you're being
entirely fair, Miss Joyce.
:17:32
Look, I have been working
for almost two weeks now...
:17:36
without a decent night's sleep.
:17:38
I'm tired!
:17:40
I read your book
on marine biology...
:17:42
and your plankton theory
in tracing surface currents.
:17:45
Strictly in the line of duty,
of course.
:17:47
I'm sorry, Commander.
:17:49
Well, I'll forgive you
if you call me Pete.
:17:52
All right, Pete. But you have to
let me get back to my work.
:17:55
Why don't you take a break.
I have a reason.
:17:58
- The Navy always has a reason.
- That's right.
