1:43:00
l'm the only officer aboard who knows.
1:43:04
l was a contestant.
1:43:06
l was also a judge.
1:43:08
This double honor was accorded me
because of my character...
1:43:13
...charm, good looks...
1:43:16
...and because the medical department
contributed...
1:43:19
...four gallons of grain alcohol
to the contest.
1:43:25
Who won? Who signed it?
1:43:29
l'm not at liberty to say.
Basically, they all did.
1:43:34
And with just one idea in mind:
1:43:38
To do something for Mr. Roberts.
1:43:45
l wish you hadn't told me.
1:43:49
lt makes me look pretty silly
after what l just said.
1:43:53
But l didn't mean it, Doc.
1:43:56
l was afraid to say what l really feel.
1:44:00
l love those guys.
1:44:03
l think they're the greatest guys
on this Earth.
1:44:07
All of a sudden l feel there's something
terribly wrong about leaving them.
1:44:13
What can l say to them?
1:44:15
Nothing. You don't know about it.
1:44:19
After you're safely aboard your new ship
l'm supposed to write and tell you about it.
1:44:26
At the bottom of the letter l'm to say:
1:44:29
''Thanks for the liberty, Mr. Roberts.
1:44:34
''Thanks for everything.''
