:10:03
- Better make enough for three.
- Three?
:10:06
- We have company arriving.
- I can't see anyone like this!
:10:10
I don't think this is a social visit.
:10:15
You'd better put some gin
in that lemonade.
:10:19
Looking for me?
:10:26
- Commander Richardson?
- That's right.
:10:28
I'm Bledsoe. Jim Bledsoe.
:10:30
A pleasure. Mind throwing me up
that insect spray, Jim?
:10:34
Excuse me, sir,
but I didn't come to spray insects.
:10:36
Well, it's the leaves you spray.
But it doesn't matter.
:10:42
- What's on your mind?
- A request, sir.
:10:45
I'd like you to ask for another Exec.
:10:47
Oh? Just like that, huh?
:10:49
My privilege, sir. Navy regulations.
:10:51
- I'd have to take it to the Board.
- You went to them before.
:10:54
That's just it. I got what I wanted.
Why should I change it?
:10:57
Maybe I can enlighten you.
The crew's accepted me as its captain.
:11:01
They have me decked out as a groom.
:11:03
Now you're taking my place,
I'd rather not go to the wedding.
:11:06
Are we discussing your pride
or are you embarrassed to face them?
:11:09
You'll be facing them in a couple of days.
:11:12
The resentment's going to be
twice as great with me on board.
:11:15
Mr Bledsoe, let me be honest with you.
:11:18
I don't care about
their resentment or yours.
:11:20
I wanted a boat. The Board gave it to me.
That's all there is.
:11:23
The Board didn't give you a thing.
:11:25
You went to them, the poor
desk commander with a tear in his eye.
:11:29
You told them if you could have me
for a backstop, you could do the job.
:11:33
Mr Bledsoe...
:11:35
...your request for release is denied.
:11:38
(door opens)
:11:45
Well, Commander, I'm glad I came over.
:11:47
- Get things straightened out.
- We're going to get along just fine.
:11:51
Don't worry, Jim.
I'll take good care of the bride.
:11:54
Anyone for a slug of gin?
We're out of vermouth.
:11:57
- Lt Bledsoe, Laura. My Exec.
- Hello.
:11:59
Thanks, Mrs Richardson.
I'll take a rain check on the drink.
