Movie Quote ot the day
Not a huge John Wayne fan, however this is one of my favorite war movies.
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Get a message off to Pearl. "Have taken two torpedoes." Fill in our position. "Extent of damage unknown. Will advise."
Commander Burke: And break radio silence?
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Burke, don't you think the Japanese know by now where we are?

Commander Egan Powell: Gottlieb! Carry on!
[as Gottlieb and another unidentified officer leave the washroom, Powell takes out a quarter, tosses it, and covers it on his arm]
Captain Paul Eddington: Heads.
Commander Egan Powell: [uncovers the quarter and inspects it, laughing] Good-bye, Commander! Enjoyed it!
[Exit]
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: Now what do you suppose he meant by that?
Captain Paul Eddington: Well, aren't you going with Broderick?
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: Why, no, I...
Captain Paul Eddington: I think you are.
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: Now wait a m...
Captain Paul Eddington: [slaps Owynne backhanded] Now I don't care how you do it, but you'd better be on that plane with Broderick - unless you want to be buried on the island of Gavabutu.
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: You can't do that to m...
Captain Paul Eddington: [forehand slap] I *am* doing it. We've got a job here, and neither you nor Broderick nor anybody else is going to screw it up. Understand?
[Another forehand slap]
Captain Paul Eddington: Hmm? And take this punk with you.
[Exit]
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: I'll have him court-martialled - striking a fellow officer. And you saw it! I didn't hit him back.
[looks at his cut lip in a hand mirror]
Ensign Jere Torrey: I didn't see anything!
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: What do you mean, you didn't see anything?
Ensign Jere Torrey: As far as I'm concerned, a coconut fell through the roof and hit you in the mouth. So you better find some excuse for getting us on that plane with Broderick.
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: Well, how'd you like to find yourself back in PT boats, fella? Because one word from me to Broderick and you're on your way!
Ensign Jere Torrey: Say the word!
[exit, leaving Owynne to look at his cut lip again]
