:28:01
What time is it, Mr. Keith?
:28:03
-Eleven hundred, sir.
-Make it 10:30.
:28:06
I'll always keep it
a half hour slow.
:28:09
Remind me of the fouled-up crew
of the Caine.
:28:34
Carry on.
:28:48
What's everybody so choked up for?
:28:51
No matter what anybody says,
I still think...
:28:53
that someday you'll make an officer.
:28:56
Captain Queeg requests a meeting
of all officers at 1300.
:29:03
Gentlemen, we'll be shipmates
for a long time...
:29:06
and I thought we ought
to get acquainted.
:29:08
I've formed some good impressions.
you're probably curious about me.
:29:12
My background is simple enough.
Just another naval officer.
:29:16
I've had seven tough years
in the Atlantic.
:29:19
Believe you me, they made
the last two mighty interesting.
:29:22
The way those subs ganged up on us
I thought they had it in for me.
:29:28
Now to get down to cases.
:29:30
Any one who knows me
knows I'm a book man.
:29:32
I believe everything was put in it
for a purpose.
:29:35
When in doubt,
remember we do things by the book.
:29:38
Deviate from the book,
and you'd better have good reasons...
:29:41
and you'll still get
an argument from me.
:29:44
And f don't lose arguments
on board my ship.
:29:47
That's one of the nice things
about being captain.
:29:51
I want you to remember one thing.
:29:54
On my ship,
excellent performance is standard.
:29:56
Standard performance is substandard.
:29:58
Substandard performance is not permitted
to exist. That, I warn you.
