1:41:01
-What about?
-l don't know, sir.

1:41:03
l'll come back to say good-bye later,
Mr. Roberts. Come on, Ensign Pulver.

1:41:07
l bet those guys down in the laundry
starched his pajamas again!

1:41:12
-You're pretty happy, aren't you?
-Yep.

1:41:15
You're happy about it, too, aren't you, Doc?
1:41:17
l think it's the only thing for you.
1:41:21
What do you think of the crew now?
1:41:23
They're all right. They're nice guys.
1:41:27
How do you think they feel about you?
1:41:29
They like me well enough,
till the next guy comes along.

1:41:32
You don't think you're necessary to them?
1:41:34
Doc, no officer is necessary to a crew.
1:41:38
Are you going to leave this ship
believing that?

1:41:41
lt's nothing against them, Doc.
1:41:42
They're too busy lookin' out for themselves
to worry about anybody else.

1:41:46
Well, take a good, deep breath, Buster.
1:41:52
What do you think got you your orders?
1:41:55
Prayer and fasting?
Sending in enough box tops?

1:41:59
Dolan said one of my old letters turned up.
1:42:03
This crew got you transferred.
1:42:05
They were so busy
thinking about themselves...

1:42:07
...that they took a chance of landing
in prison for five years, every one of them.

1:42:12
You couldn't send in a letter for transfer,
so they sent one in for you.

1:42:17
They knew the Captain wouldn't
sign it approved...

1:42:19
...so they didn't bother him.
They signed it for him.

1:42:22
Doc, what do you mean?
They forged the Captain's name?

1:42:24
That's it exactly.
1:42:29
lt was quite a thing to see, Doug...
1:42:31
...the Captain's name-signing contest.
1:42:34
Every man in the crew trying his best...
1:42:36
...to copy that little scrawl of the Captain's.
1:42:41
Then the judges decided the winner.
1:42:44
At the time, there was some criticism
of their decision...

1:42:47
...on the grounds that the judges
were drunk.

1:42:50
But apparently from the results,
they chose pretty well.

1:42:54
How did you find out about it?
1:42:57
Well, it was a great honor.
