:23:14
What's he taking all that guff for?
:23:16
''Yes, sir.'' ''No, sir.''
:23:18
''Aye, aye, sir.''
:23:20
Hey, Killer, do you really think
he's bucking for a promotion?
:23:23
Who, Mr. Roberts?
He's just tired, that's all.
:23:28
Yeah, that's right. He's just tired.
:23:30
Mr. Roberts, l got something here.
:23:33
A little love letter from the Bureau came in
just this morning.
:23:36
Get a load of this.
''To all ships and stations:
:23:39
''Heightened war offensive has created
urgent need aboard combat ships...
:23:43
''...for experienced officers.
:23:44
''All commanding officers are directed
to forward with their endorsement...
:23:49
''...all applications for transfer from officers
with 24 months sea duty.''
:23:53
You've got 29 months.
:23:54
Does that put old stupid
behind the eight ball or don't it?
:23:57
Here's your letter, all typed up and ready
to go. Just the old John Hancock.
:24:01
Go ahead, Mr. Roberts.
l want to hear him explode.
:24:04
Yeah, he'll go right through the overhead!
:24:07
l want to look it over first.
:24:09
What's to look over?
lt's just a standard form--
:24:11
l'm not going to stand here and argue!
l told you l want to look it over.
:24:15
Get back to your typewriter
before l put you on report!
:24:24
All right, don't just stand here.
:24:53
...from the headquarters
of the Allied Command in Europe.
:24:56
I repeat,
there is no official announcement yet.
