The Cruel Sea Quote
Lockhart: [at the mess table] Getting rattled, John?
Morell: Well, whatever we do, these damn U-boats seem to get through the screen every time. We lost almost half our convoy and an escort and are almost two days from Gibralter. [he gags with disgust;]
Morell: It's an odd thing to think if nothing else happens, this is probably the worst convoy in the history of sea warfare.
Lockhart: [trying to be comforting] Something to tell your grandchildren.
Morell: Yes, indeed, in fact, if you can guarantee I will have grandchildren, I shall recover my spirits immediately.
Baker: But how can he guarantee you'll have grandchildren?
Morell: [angrily] Well, if they're as stupid as you are, I hope I don't have any!
Baker: [taken aback at the outburst] Oh, I say...
Baker: [he eats without further response]
