3:25:01
- And you, Mr Keefer?
- I'm holding his coat.
3:25:05
- I'm a friend of the family.
- That's pretty flip.
3:25:09
I was on board the Caine,
communications officer.
3:25:13
I read the report and frankly, I
think that what you've done stinks.
3:25:19
- Then why are you taking the case?
- I didn't say I'd take it.
3:25:24
I wanted to talk to Mr Maryk first.
3:25:28
- You should get another lawyer.
- Eight lawyers have turned it down.
3:25:34
At the moment, you have
an excellent chance of being hanged.
3:25:38
We'll answer anything
you want to know.
3:25:42
Are you a fool or a mutineer?
There's no third possibility.
3:25:48
- Should I have let the ship sink?
- Three ships were lost, you know.
3:25:54
And 194 stayed afloat without the
executive officer taking command.
3:25:58
- There was no other choice.
- Maybe I'm a fool. I'm no mutineer.
3:26:04
He had a paranoid skipper who went
to pieces, and he saved the ship.
3:26:11
The Navy has three psychiatrists
who will testify that Queeg is sane.
3:26:16
Paranoids walk a thin dividing line
between sanity and lunacy.
3:26:20
Are you a psychiatrist?
3:26:24
I'm a writer.
I'm a judge of human behaviour.
3:26:28
You were the first to notice
the captain's psychotic symptoms?
3:26:32
- Yes.
- Did you explain it to Mr Maryk?
3:26:36
- I discussed it.
- That's an interesting point.
3:26:40
- Would you repeat it in court?
- Why not?
3:26:45
Mr Keefer, you ought to take a look
at Article 186 of Navy regulations.
3:26:51
"An officer relieving his commanding
officer, or recommending it. -
3:26:55
- Together with others
who so counsel. -
3:26:58
- Must bear the responsibility for
and must justify such action."
