:30:01
Lest you forget, Mr. Hunter, we are
a ship of war, designed for battle.
:30:05
You don't just fight battles
when everything is hunky-dory.
:30:09
What'd you think, son? I was just
some crazy old coot putting everyone...
:30:13
in harm's way
as I yell "yee-haw"?
:30:15
That was not
my first thought, sir.
:30:18
But there's no excuse. At the time
I was fighting the fire in the galley...
:30:22
I did not agree
with your call, sir.
:30:27
Take a seat.
:30:34
[Sighs]
:30:39
Just so we understand
each other...
:30:43
I don't have any problems
with questions or doubts.
:30:46
As I said to you before, I'm not
seeking the company of kiss-asses.
:30:50
When you got somethin' to say to me,
you say it in private.
:30:53
And if privacy doesn't permit itself,
then you bite your fucking tongue.
:30:58
- Are we clear about that, Commander?
- As a bell, sir.
:31:02
Those sailors out there
are just boys...
:31:05
boys who are training to do
a terrible and unthinkable thing,
and if that ever occurs...
:31:08
the only reassurance they'll have
that they're doing the proper thing...
:31:11
is gonna derive from their unqualified
belief in the unified chain of command.
:31:15
That means we don't question each
other's motives in front of the crew.
:31:19
It means we don't
undermine each other.
:31:22
It means in a missile drill...
:31:24
they hear your voice right after mine,
without hesitation.
:31:30
- Do you agree with that policy, sailor?
- Absolutely, sir.
:31:35
We're here to preserve democracy,
not to practice it.
:31:41
There'll be a memorial service in
the enlisted men's mess at 1100 hours.
:31:45
- Go see to it.
- Aye, aye, sir.
:31:48
Oh, Hunter.
:31:51
Short of the outbreak
of World War III...
:31:53
the ship sinking or being
attacked by a giant octopus...
:31:57
I'd like to be undisturbed
for the next 30 minutes.
:31:59
I'll see to it, sir.
