3:48:01
You were told that the mess boys
ate the berries. There was no key.
3:48:05
The key was not imaginary. I don't
know anything about the mess boys.
3:48:12
Have you no recollection of
a conversation with Ensign Harding?
3:48:19
Didn't he tell you that
the mess boys ate the strawberries?
3:48:23
I remember he was grateful
for his transfer. His wife was ill.
3:48:29
Do you know
where Ensign Harding is now?
3:48:33
He's in San Diego. He can be flown
up here in three hours if necessary.
3:48:40
- Shall we have him testify?
- No, I...
3:48:47
I don't see any need of that.
3:48:51
Now that I recall, he might have
said something about mess boys.
3:48:57
I questioned many men, and Harding
was not the most reliable officer.
3:49:02
The defence has no other recourse
than to produce Ensign Harding.
3:49:07
There's no need for that.
He'll only tell you lies.
3:49:12
All the officers were disloyal.
They were always fighting me.
3:49:17
If the crew wanted their
shirt-tails out, they'd let them.
3:49:20
Take the tow line...
defective equipment.
3:49:23
But they began spreading wild
rumours about steaming in circles. -
3:49:29
- And then "Old Yellowstain". I was
to blame for Maryk's incompetence.
3:49:35
Maryk was the perfect officer,
but not Queeg.
3:49:38
But the strawberries,
that's where I had them.
3:49:43
I proved with geometric logic that a
duplicate key to the icebox existed.
3:49:50
I could have produced that key. They
were protecting some officer...
