:36:00
You've made your point very vividly, Doc...
:36:03
...but l still want to get in this thing.
:36:06
l'm gonna keep on sending in
these letters until l do.
:36:10
-Yes, l know you are, Doug.
-l haven't got much time.
:36:13
That task force l saw was on its way
to start our last big push in the Pacific.
:36:19
l'm gonna catch it.
:36:21
LCM's coming alongside.
:36:23
Will Mr. Roberts report
topside immediately?
:36:27
Mr. Roberts! Topside!
:36:32
Doc, what are you gonna give Doug
for his birthday?
:36:37
l hadn't thought of giving him anything.
:36:39
l'm gonna show him that he's got
old Pulver figured out all wrong!
:36:43
What does that look like to you?
:36:45
Just what it is. The cardboard center
of a roll of toilet paper.
:36:48
-l suppose it doesn't look like a firecracker?
-No, it doesn't.
:36:52
And l suppose that doesn't look like a fuse?
:36:54
lt looks like a piece of string.
:36:56
You just wait until old Pulver
gets through with it!
:36:58
l'm gonna get me some black powder
from that gunner's mate and--
:37:02
Oh, no! This is not gonna be
any peanut of a firecracker.
:37:05
l'll pack that thing solid with that stuff
they use to blow up bridges:
:37:10
Fulminate of mercury!
:37:11
Boy, on the night of Doug's birthday...
:37:13
...l'm gonna throw that
under the old man's bunk and bam!
:37:24
Captain, it's me! lt is l, Ensign Pulver!
:37:27
l just threw the firecracker
under your stinking bunk!
:37:39
The Captain wants you to hang on
to whatever fresh fruit you have left.
:37:42
He wants it for his own mess.
:37:45
Better get braced for a storm, Mr. Roberts.
Dolan took in your letter a while back.
:37:48
Stand by bow line, ready to cast off!
:37:51
You fellas squared away?
:37:52
Thanks, Lieutenant. You wouldn't want
to swap movies, would you?
:37:55
-Sure, what you got?
-Hoot Gibson in The Sheriff's Daughter.
:37:59
Shove off.
