: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.''
:06:01
That ain't goin' in, Mister.
:06:02
How are you gonna stop it?
:06:06
l ain't.
:06:09
You are.
:06:13
Just how much do you want this crew
to have a liberty?
:06:16
Enough to stop this ''friction''?
:06:19
Enough to stop writing letters ever?
:06:22
'Cause that's the only way
this crew is going to get ashore...
:06:24
...this day or any other day.
:06:31
Now we've had our little chat.
:06:34
What do you say?
:06:38
How did you get in the Navy?
:06:41
How did you get on our side?
:06:44
You ignorant, arrogant, ambitious...!
Keeping 62 men in prison...
:06:48
...'cause you got a palm tree
for the work they did!
:06:51
l don't know which l hate worse,
you or that other malignant growth--
:06:55
How'd you ever get to be
commander of a ship?
:06:57
l realize in war time they have to scrape
the bottom of the barrel...
:06:59
...but where'd they ever scrape you up?
