:29:03
I know the men like you.
:29:06
I'd give my life
for any one of them, sir.
:29:08
I know you would.
I'm not questioning
your bravery.
:29:12
The question is:
What about their lives?
:29:17
You and Mr. Emmett
are good friends.
:29:20
You went to the Academy
together.
:29:23
Would you be willing
to sacrifice his life?
:29:26
Or what about
some of the younger
enlisted men?
:29:29
You know,
a lot of those guys look up
to you like a big brother.
:29:32
You willing to lay
their lives on the line?
:29:37
You see?
You hesitate.
:29:40
But as a captain, you can't.
:29:43
You have to act.
:29:45
If you don't, you put
the entire crew at risk.
:29:48
Now that's the job.
It's not a science.
:29:53
You have to be able to make
hard decisions, based on
imperfect information.
:29:57
Asking men to carry out orders
that may result in their deaths.
:30:01
And if you're wrong,
you suffer the consequences.
:30:07
If you're not prepared
to make those decisions...
:30:10
without pause,
without reflection,
:30:15
then you've got no business
being a submarine captain.
:30:23
Tell Mr. Hirsch
I'd like a word with him,
would you?
:30:30
Aye, sir.
