...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?
1:00:01
'Cause that's the only way
this crew is going to get ashore...
1:00:03
...this day or any other day.
1:00:10
Now we've had our little chat.
1:00:13
What do you say?
1:00:17
How did you get in the Navy?
1:00:20
How did you get on our side?
1:00:23
You ignorant, arrogant, ambitious...!
Keeping 62 men in prison...
1:00:28
...'cause you got a palm tree
for the work they did!
1:00:30
l don't know which l hate worse,
you or that other malignant growth--
1:00:34
How'd you ever get to be
commander of a ship?
1:00:36
l realize in war time they have to scrape
the bottom of the barrel...
1:00:39
...but where'd they ever scrape you up?
1:00:40
There's just one thing left for you, Mister.
A general court-martial!
1:00:42
Fine, court-martial me!
1:00:44
l'm asking for it! lf l can't get transferred,
l'll get court-martialed! l'm fed up!
1:00:49
You'll need a witness.
1:00:52
Call your messenger.
l'll say it over again in front of him.
1:00:56
Go on, call him. You want me to call him?
