What are you giving them these days
for ''double beriberi''?

:05:05
Aspirin, what else?
:05:09
Something wrong, Doug?
:05:12
We missed you when you went
on watch last night.

:05:15
l gave young Ensign Pulver another drink
of alcohol in orange juice...

:05:18
...and it inspired him to relate
further amorous feats of his.

:05:23
Did he tell you about the time
he overwhelmed a 45-year-old maiden...

:05:27
...by the simple tactic of being the first
man in her life to ask her a direct question?

:05:33
No, but some of the things he related
positively bordered on the supernatural.

:05:38
l don't know what to do
about young Pulver.

:05:41
Perhaps l should report his record
to the American Medical Association?

:05:46
There is something wrong, isn't there?
:05:50
l've been up all night, Doc.
:05:53
What's the matter? What is it?
:05:56
l saw something last night
that just about knocked me out.

:06:00
What happened?
:06:01
l was up on the bridge.
:06:03
l was just standing there
looking out to sea.

:06:05
l couldn't bear look at that island anymore.
:06:09
All of a sudden l noticed something, little
black specks crawling across the horizon.

:06:14
l looked through the glasses
and it was a formation of our ships...

:06:17
...that stretched for miles.
:06:19
Carriers, and battleships and cans.
A whole task force, Doc.

:06:23
Why didn't you break me out?
l've never seen a battleship.

:06:26
They came out and passed
within a half mile of that reef.

:06:29
Carriers so big
they blacked out half the sky.

:06:34
Battlewagons sliding along, dead quiet.
:06:39
l could see the men on the bridges.
:06:43
And this is what knocked me out, Doc:
:06:46
Somehow...
:06:48
...l thought l was on those bridges.
:06:51
l thought l was riding west
across the Pacific.

:06:57
l watched 'em till they were out of sight.
:06:59
And l was right there on those bridges
all the time.
