:04:02
You see, l've been expecting you.
:04:04
Okay, when does this crew get liberty?
:04:06
ln the first place,
just kindly hold your tongue.

:04:09
l'm still Captain here.
:04:11
-When are you gonna let this crew ashore?
-l'm not.

:04:14
lt was not my idea
coming to this liberty port.

:04:17
lt seems one of my officers arranged it
with a certain port director.

:04:20
Gave him a bottle of scotch whiskey,
compliments of the Captain.

:04:24
The port director was kind enough
to send me a thank-you note...

:04:27
...along with our order.
:04:30
Sit down, Mr. Roberts.
:04:36
Now l admit l was a little provoked
about not being consulted...

:04:39
...then l got to thinking
maybe we ought to come to this port...

:04:42
...so as you and me could have a talk.
:04:44
All right. Take it out on me,
but not the men.

:04:46
Don't you hear that music?
Don't you know it's tearing the guys apart?

:04:49
They're breakable, Captain! l promise you.
:04:53
Now you listen to me.
:04:56
l've got two things l want to show you.
:05:12
That is the cap of a full commander.
:05:14
l'm going to wear that cap some day,
and you're going to help me.

:05:19
lt won't do any harm to tell you
that you helped me win that palm tree...

:05:22
...by working cargo.
:05:24
Don't let this go to your head.
:05:26
When Admiral Finchley awarded me
that palm tree, he said:

:05:29
''You've got a good cargo officer.
Keep him at it. You're going places.''

:05:34
And l went right out and bought that hat.
:05:36
And nobody is gonna stand
between me and that hat!

:05:40
Certainly not you.
:05:44
Now last week it was agreed...
:05:47
...that there was to be no more
of these ''disharmony'' letters.

:05:49
l didn't say that.
:05:51
And what do l find on my desk
this morning? Another one.

:05:55
lt says here, ''friction between me
and the commanding officer.''
