:59:01
He's flipped.
Will you tell Admiral Healy about it?
:59:03
Admiral Healy's on his way...
:59:05
to Southampton with Adm. Jessup
in five minutes.
:59:07
No, Adm. Jessup isn't going
to Southampton, Harry.
:59:09
This is urgent.
Adm. Jessup has cracked up.
:59:11
- What do you mean, he's cracked up?
- I mean he's cracked up.
:59:14
He's lying on the floor right now
in his office in a trance.
:59:17
Do I read you right, Commander?
:59:20
Are you trying to tell me
Adm. William Jessup has cracked up?
:59:25
You know, Harry, you are a pompous ass!
:59:29
Now this better not be a gag.
:59:30
You think I would joke
about a thing like this?
:59:33
The service takes a dim view
of lieutenant commanders...
:59:36
who call the Special Assistant
to the Secretary of the Navy a nut.
:59:40
Come on. You see for yourself, wise guy.
:59:46
Hello, Harry. Adm. Healy ready?
:59:48
He's waiting for you now, sir.
:59:49
Admirals Hoyle and Magneson are with...
:59:52
- All right, what the hell is all this about?
- Harry, in here.
:59:55
The Admiral is a very sick man.
:59:57
This kind of a joke is tasteless enough
from you two.
1:00:00
But from an academy man, it is obscene!
1:00:04
You shore sailors ought to do a little tour
of sea duty just to find out exactly...
1:00:08
All right, Spaulding, I've had about enough
of your bilge.
1:00:11
This blowhard here did four months...
1:00:15
as a mess officer in the South Pacific,
and he's been spouting sea salt ever since.
1:00:19
I didn't ask for a desk job.
1:00:21
I've applied for sea duty seven times,
and you know it.
1:00:24
If you'll let me finish...
1:00:25
Don't just start pulling academy on me.
1:00:28
I was a cadet four-striper.
1:00:29
You never made more than midshipman
of a lousy battalion.
1:00:32
This outburst is bad joss,
Commander, bad joss.
1:00:35
Don't start jacking me up
like you were my senior cadet officer.
1:00:38
While you two schoolboys
are standing here...
1:00:41
And I don't want to hear
any more cracks about schoolboys.
1:00:43
You civilian sailors think
there's something funny...
1:00:46
about a man taking pride in his service.
1:00:48
Sir, permit me to inform you, sir...
1:00:51
that I am damn proud of being
an Annapolis man, sir.
1:00:58
- Look, right now...
- I didn't ask for a lousy desk job.
