1:46:03
for caving his shirttail out,
while the ship turned 360 degrees?
1:46:08
I reprimanded him,
but that only took two seconds.
1:46:13
When the Caine escorted attack boats
of marines to the beach...
1:46:17
did your orders include
dropping a yellow dye-marker?
1:46:21
I don't recall.
1:46:23
Did you drop one?
1:46:26
I don't recall.
1:46:28
Didn't you steam several hundred yards
ahead of the attack boats...
1:46:32
drop a dye-marker
and retire at high speed...
1:46:35
leaving the boats to make the beach
on their own?
1:46:37
The question is abusive
and flagrantly leading.
1:46:39
There oan be no more serious a charge
to an officer than cowardice under fire.
1:46:44
May I make one thing clear?
1:46:47
It is not the defense's contention
that Commander Queeg is a coward.
1:46:51
Quite the contrary.
1:46:52
The defense assumes no man who rises
to command a naval ship can he a coward.
1:46:58
And therefore, if he commits
questionable acts under fire...
1:47:02
the explanation must he elsewhere.
1:47:04
You may resume.
1:47:07
You seem to be the victim
of constantly disloyal officers.
1:47:10
Now, I didn't say that!
Only some of them were disloyal.
1:47:13
-Mr. Keith and Mr. Maryk, for instance?
-Yes.
1:47:16
Mr. Queeg, this is a fitness report
you wrote on Mr. Maryk.
1:47:20
July 1, 1944, one month
before he relieved you.
1:47:24
Do you recognize it?
1:47:28
I do.
1:47:30
Would you mind reading your comments
on Mr. Maryk?
1:47:34
I don't believe the court can hear you.
1:47:39
"This officer's improved
since his last report.
1:47:43
He's consistently loyal, courageous,
thorough and efficient.
1:47:46
He's recommended for transfer to the
regular navy." I'd like to say that--
1:47:49
Thank you.
1:47:51
Did you ever turn your ship upside-down
in search of a key that didn't exist?
1:47:56
I don't know what lies have been
sworn to in this court.
1:47:59
I'd like to set you straight
here and now! A key did exist!
