They Quote
Lt. John Brickley: Oh, Snuffy... how about getting some torpedoes from you?
Submarine commander: For those cracker boxes of yours? No telling when we'll see a mother ship again.
Lt. John Brickley: How long have you been on patrol?
Submarine commander: Since the day the war started.
Lt. 'Rusty' Ryan: What did you get?
Submarine commander: Two small freighters. We had hard luck.
Lt. John Brickley: Well, while you've been cruising around the Pacific, those 'cracker boxes' have sunk two converted cruisers, an auxiliary aircraft carrier, a 10,000-ton tanker, a large freighter, a flock of barges and numerous sons of Nippon!
Lt. 'Rusty' Ryan: And also in our brief career, we've carried more messages than Western Union!
Submarine commander: Well, look, I'd love to help you out, fellas. But you know, I got orders...
Lt. John Brickley: Snuffy... who played the leading lady in "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" in 1932 at the Academy?
Lt. 'Rusty' Ryan: And does your crew know about it?
Submarine commander: [after a long pause] How many do you want?
Lt. John Brickley: You've got sixteen?
Lt. 'Rusty' Ryan: We'll take eight.
Lt. John Brickley: And we'll try and put 'em where they belong.
Submarine commander: Thanks. [walks away slowly]
