: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.
:30:05
Now that I've shot my face off,
any one can now do the same thing.
:30:11
I don't wanna seem out of line...
:30:13
but it's been a long time
since this crew did things by the book.
:30:16
Mr. Maryk, tell the crew there are four
ways of doing things on board my ship.
:30:22
The right way, the wrong way,
the navy way and my way.
:30:25
They do things my way,
we'll get along.
:30:27
Aye, aye, sir.
:30:31
Anyone else?
:30:33
Come in.
:30:36
Sorry to interrupt.
:30:37
Official message from ComServPao.
:30:40
Thank you.
:30:46
One moment, messenger.
:30:52
-What's your name and rate?
-Urban, sir. Seaman First.
:30:55
Signalman Striker.
:30:57
Very well. You may go.
