1:54:02
It wouldn't have helped our case any.
1:54:04
After the Yellowstain business,
Queeg asked for help...
1:54:07
and you turned him down,
didn't you?
1:54:10
Yes.
1:54:13
You didn't approve of his conduct.
He wasn't worthy of your loyalty.
1:54:17
So you turned on him. You ragged him.
You made up songs about him.
1:54:21
If you'd given Queeg
the loyalty he needed...
1:54:23
would the whole issue
have come up in the typhoon?
1:54:26
You're an honest man, Steve.
I'm asking you.
1:54:28
Would it have been necessary
for you to take over?
1:54:32
ft probably wouldn't
have been necessary.
1:54:35
If that's true, then we were guilty.
1:54:37
You're learning, Willie!
1:54:40
You don't work with a captain because
you like the way he parts his hair.
1:54:43
You work with him because
he's got the job or you're no good!
1:54:48
Well, the case is over.
You're all safe.
1:54:53
It was like shooting fish in a barrel.
1:54:59
Now we come to the man
who should have stood trial.
1:55:02
The Caine's favorite author.
1:55:04
The Shakespeare who's testimony
nearly sunk us all.
1:55:07
-Tell 'em, Keefer.
-You go ahead. You're telling it better.
1:55:14
You ought to read his testimony.
He never even heard of Captain Queeg!
1:55:18
Forget it.
1:55:19
Queeg was sick.
He couldn't help himself.
1:55:22
But you--you're real healthy.
1:55:24
Only you didn't have one-tenth
the guts he had.
1:55:28
Except, I never fooled myself.
1:55:30
I'm going to drink a toast to you,
Mr. Keefer.
1:55:34
From the beginning,
you hated the navy...
1:55:36
and then you thought of this
whole idea.
1:55:38
You managed to keep your skirts starched
and clean, even in the court-martial.
1:55:43
Maryk will always be remembered
as a mutineer.
1:55:46
But you'll publish your novel.
You'll make a million bucks.
1:55:50
You'll marry a big movie star.
1:55:53
And for the rest of your life
you'll five with your conscience.
1:55:55
If you have any.
1:55:58
Here's to the real author
of the Caine mutiny.
