:04:03
but it is directed from
the admiralty, here in London.
:04:11
Very deep in the ancient
Admiralty Building...
:04:14
200 feet underground, is the war room.
:04:17
Here is the guiding brain
and central nervous system...
:04:20
of the British navy...
:04:22
The Operations Division.
:04:25
Robert.
:04:26
Sir?
:04:27
Take Captain Shepard's things...
:04:29
and put them in the office.
:04:30
Aye, sir.
:04:31
Thank you.
:04:34
This, of course, is the message center...
:04:36
for incoming and outgoing signals.
:04:38
These tubes lead to
the wireless room down the hall.
:04:44
Oh, Shepard...
Anything wrong?
:04:47
That man's uniform.
:04:48
Oh. We're quite informal here
about some things.
:04:50
You'll find it's much different...
:04:52
from the bridge of a ship at sea.
:04:54
It has to be that way.
:04:57
Shepard, this is Commander Richards...
:04:59
the duty plot officer.
:05:00
Captain Shepard is
the new director of operations.
:05:03
[Mouth Full Of Food] How do you do?
:05:05
Don't let me interrupt your meal.
:05:07
Captain Shepard,
Second Officer Anne Davis.
:05:09
Captain Shepard's taking over for me.
:05:11
How do you do, sir?
:05:12
How do you do?
:05:14
Be nice to her, Shepard.
:05:15
If she got angry and walked out,
we'd lose the war.
:05:18
Really?
:05:19
Seriously, you can depend on
this young lady.
:05:21
I've done it many times.
:05:23
Anne, be a darling, will you...
:05:25
and get your plot report in
as soon as possible.
:05:27
We mustn't be late...
:05:28
forJimmy's party tonight.
:05:30
Right-oh.
:05:31
I suppose I should shed a few tears...
:05:34
at leaving this place...
:05:35
but quite honestly, I've hated the job.
:05:37
Too much responsibility,
strain.
:05:39
I'm getting a command at sea.
:05:41
That's what I've always wanted.
:05:42
Congratulations.
:05:43
I hope you find one...
:05:45
that doesn't involve too much strain.
:05:47
It's a different kind of strain.
:05:49
If a man's going to serve in the navy...
:05:52
he ought to serve at sea...
:05:54
unless, of course,
it's a man like yourself...
:05:56
who's already seen action.
:05:58
He should still serve at sea.
