- lt's not necessary they should.
- Let me run the engine room like l should.

- Holman.

:41:08
l'm the one here who decides
whatjobs'll be done by whom.

:41:13
The crew of this ship is designed
just like the machinery that powers the ship.

:41:17
Captains before me designed the San Pablo
for a special job in the backwaters of China.

:41:23
But men will not hold together
like brass and steel.

:41:26
We have to refit ourselves
into the design every day.

:41:29
That's the purpose of all we do in San Pablo.
:41:32
As part of that design, you cannot do what
you prefer to do, however well you do it.

:41:38
You will train a new coolie
and then return to your military duties.

:41:44
That's all, Holman.
:42:08
- Hey, come on. Over here.
- Hey, Red Dog! Bring our whiskey back!

:42:14
- You no wantee whiskey?
- Oh, no, honey.

:42:16
Not on an empty stomach, l'll tell you.
:42:21
Hey, Jake.
:42:23
Jake!
:42:29
- How'd you make out with the Captain?
- One piece whiskey.

:42:33
- We ain't waltzin' no more.
- What happened?

:42:37
Collins says that us Sand Pebbles
is like machinery, only different.

:42:41
Huh?
:42:42
We gotta keep changing, cos we ain't
made out of brass. Think that one over.

:42:48
Didn't he say nothing about Chien?
:42:51
Yeah. l gotta train a new coolie.
:42:55
- What?
- Yeah, one of them slopeheads.

:42:58
l can't do it, Frenchy.
They think that engine's got ghosts in it.
