:58:03
The port director was kind enough
to send me a thank-you note...
:58:06
...along with our order.
:58:09
Sit down, Mr. Roberts.
:58:15
Now l admit l was a little provoked
about not being consulted...
:58:18
...then l got to thinking
maybe we ought to come to this port...
:58:22
...so as you and me could have a talk.
:58:23
All right. Take it out on me,
but not the men.
:58:25
Don't you hear that music?
Don't you know it's tearing the guys apart?
:58:28
They're breakable, Captain! l promise you.
:58:32
Now you listen to me.
:58:35
l've got two things l want to show you.
:58:51
That is the cap of a full commander.
:58:54
l'm going to wear that cap some day,
and you're going to help me.
:58:58
lt won't do any harm to tell you
that you helped me win that palm tree...
:59:01
...by working cargo.
:59:03
Don't let this go to your head.
:59:05
When Admiral Finchley awarded me
that palm tree, he said:
:59:08
''You've got a good cargo officer.
Keep him at it. You're going places.''
:59:13
And l went right out and bought that hat.
:59:15
And nobody is gonna stand
between me and that hat!
:59:19
Certainly not you.
:59:23
Now last week it was agreed...
:59:26
...that there was to be no more
of these ''disharmony'' letters.
:59:28
l didn't say that.
:59:30
And what do l find on my desk
this morning? Another one.
:59:34
lt says here, ''friction between me
and the commanding officer.''
:59:40
That ain't goin' in, Mister.
:59:41
How are you gonna stop it?
:59:45
l ain't.
:59:48
You are.
:59:52
Just how much do you want this crew
to have a liberty?
:59:55
Enough to stop this ''friction''?
:59:58
Enough to stop writing letters ever?
