:27:00
I thought that surely you must
be married or something.
:27:03
No, sir. Nothing at all.
:27:05
Doesn't that seem odd...
:27:07
if you don't mind my saying so?
:27:09
I was going to be married last year...
:27:11
but...it didn't work out.
:27:13
His fault or yours?
:27:14
He was at Dunkirk...
:27:16
and he was listed as missing in action.
:27:19
It was just a year ago...
:27:21
a year ago next week.
:27:24
He was a rather wonderful man...
:27:27
not brilliant or dashing
or anything like that...
:27:30
but just rather wonderful.
:27:37
I'm sorry.
:27:39
I think it helps to
talk about these things...
:27:42
don't you, sir?
:27:43
No, I don't.
I don't think it helps at all.
:27:47
Getting emotional about things...
:27:48
is a peacetime luxury.
:27:50
In wartime, it's much too painful.
:27:51
You can't turn off your emotions...
:27:53
just because there's a war on.
:27:55
You can't do anything
about your feelings.
:27:58
Yes, you can.
:27:59
[Ring]
:28:00
Director of operations.
:28:01
Tell you why I called,Jonathan.
:28:03
Dexter's here in my office...
:28:04
and he has rather a special problem.
:28:06
I understand you've given him
extra duty.
:28:09
Correct. I'll require him for duty
the next three nights.
:28:12
It seems that his girl is an army nurse.
:28:14
She's got orders to sail tomorrow night.
:28:17
I'm very sorry that Dexter's young lady
is going overseas...
:28:20
but that's beside the point.
:28:21
Couldn't you make an exception?
:28:23
I won't make an exception
for this officer...
:28:25
or any other...
:28:26
certainly not for reasons
of personal convenience.
:28:29
Well, it's very simple, sir...
:28:31
either you have discipline
or you haven't.
:28:34
Well, I'm sorry, Dexter.
:28:36
Thank you, sir.
:28:39
By the way, Jonathan...
:28:40
there's a fleet commander
aboard the Bismarck.
:28:43
Yes. Admiral Gunther Lutjens.
:28:46
Lutjens.
:28:47
You know this man?
:28:49
Yes, sir, I do.
:28:50
One of his cruisers sank my ship.
:28:53
Oh. Then you'll have a special interest
in him.
