Let me put it this way :
1:40:05
Could Captain Queeg have been disabled
by the severe strain of command?
1:40:08
That's absurdly hypothetical.
1:40:10
Is it?
1:40:12
Have you ever had sea duty?
1:40:16
-No.
-Have you ever been at sea?
1:40:18
-No.
-How long have you been in the navy?
1:40:21
Five months.
1:40:23
Have you had dealings with
ship captains before this?
1:40:27
I suggest you can't be an authority
on the strain of command...
1:40:30
and thus, you may be completely wrong
about Captain Queeg.
1:40:37
-Your witness.
-One minute, Doctor.
1:40:40
Council for defense
has raised an interesting point.
1:40:43
In private practice,
did you ever have patients...
1:40:45
who had to deal
with complicated command decisions--
1:40:49
men such as plant managers,
industrialists, et cetera?
1:40:52
Yes. Quite a few.
1:40:54
Including flyers who have to decide
questions of life and death every day.
1:40:58
I've written a book on the subject.
1:41:01
In those cases,
oould you detect where a neurosis...
1:41:04
might damage the ability
to make decisions at the right time?
1:41:07
Ahsolutely.
1:41:09
And in your examination
of Commander Queeg...
1:41:11
you found no such damage, right?
1:41:13
Absolutely right.
1:41:16
Thank you, Doctor.
That'll be all.
1:41:20
-Smart guy.
-He's sure gonna hear down on me.
1:41:27
And that's the way I saw it.
1:41:27
And that's the way I saw it.
1:41:29
I felt it was my duty
as a naval officer.
1:41:32
Captain Oueeg was sick--mentally ill--
1:41:35
and I had to take over.
1:41:37
And honestly, if I had to do it again,
I'd do it.
1:41:40
Thank you, Mr. Maryk.
Your witness, sir.
1:41:44
Mr. Maryk, just a few questions.
1:41:47
Would you say your grades in high school
were average?
1:41:52
Lower than average.
1:41:54
-And in college?
-Lower than average.
1:41:58
What training have you had
in psychiatry or medicine?
