Gentlemen, submarine Flotilla 1 will
sail for the Italian port of Taranto at

tomorrow morning.

the Yanks had a bit of action on the way
over, sir. Yes, that's the force,

buddy. They've taken off.

Hold it.

You put up a grand fight.

I only hope I can be back with you when
you punch your initials into one of

their cruisers.

That's all.

Hoist away.

I hope you get command known.

Thank you, sir.

Leave your quarters.

As the new captain? We hope so anyway,
sir. Any orders about the liberty party?

Carry on the usual order.

Aye, aye, sir.

Well, this is one liberty I can use.

Buck up, Rick.

A couple of bottles of candy and a pair
of understanding arms, and you'll forget

it ever happened. Have you the telephone
number of a pair of understanding arms?

No, but I will have.

Your first duties, Mr. Walters, will be
to establish a base of operations ashore

that a couple of the younger officers
can work out of. Work out of?

And in.

Aye, aye, sir.

Who's second in command here?

Mr. Nolton, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, sir.

My name's Tuller. Mine's Nolton, sir. I
have orders to take command.

Yes, sir.

McDougal, call the crew to quarters.

Aye, hope, sir.

Well, there's your quarters.

Start them inside.

Start up, men.

From Commander Submarine Force to
Lieutenant Commander T .J. Toller, U .S.

Immediately upon falling in with the USS
AL -14, you will report aboard and

assume command of that vessel.

Signed, C .F. Earth.

I relieve you.

Lead the quarter.

Let's go below and look at your ship.
Yes, sir.

Boy, he acts like he wrote the book of
regulations.

He didn't, but he lives up to it. And
you'll see that you do, too.

Yes, sir, that's deadpan Toller. He
smiles, it's only a gas pain.

You better not let him smell that orange
extract you've been drinking.

I just had some and I can't smell it.
Well, if you can't, nobody can.

What an injustice.

My best plan, picking on technicality.

I bet the only way he can get his phone
is at a court -martial. He's tough, all

right, but you birds will be mighty glad
he's on the bridge if we ever get that

jam. Yeah, he's like seasickness. He
brings out the best in you.

Well,

I hope there's no house detectives in
this village.

Morning, McDougall.

Oh, good morning, Captain. Who's the
chief machinist, mate?

I am, sir.

Hendrickson. Keep on shaving,
Hendrickson.

Engines come through in good shape? Burn
out a main bearing in action, sir.

We'll get to that tomorrow.

Mr. Norton renewed it underway, sir.

When you make a liberty, you'll find the
town filled with Allied sailors.

I want you to act like men. No fighting,
you understand?

You hear that, McDougal?

Yes, sir.

Oh, uh, who's your patrol, sir?

British Marines.

What could be sweeter?

You hit a limey and you hit a Marine all
at the same time.

Now that's what I call efficient.

Say, am I mistaken?

On other words... Did you notice the
skipper's got a bad cavity and his upper

left molar?

Why don't you tell him he's got a mail
-order dentist aboard? Maybe he'll let

you fill it. Sure, by correspondence.

Oh,

lay off, fellas.

A professional man needs some
encouragement.

That's not etiquette.

Diving sector's well drilled?

Been getting under in a little over a
minute, sir. The last crew is on in 52

seconds. We'll better that.

I expect you to.

Yes, sir.

McDougal, your chief torpedo man? Yes,
sir. Good man.

Morning, gentlemen. Morning, sir.

This is Mr. Nelson, sir. How do you do?
Nelson, how are you? Mr. Walters.

How do you do, sir? Walters.

Nephew of the Admiral?

Yes, sir. He was my model as a Nelson.

But I had to live with him when I was a
kid.

That should have been a privilege, Mr.
Walters.

Why are these Kingston valves open?

Well, sir, I...

He blew the tank, sir.

I was so busy taking care of the wounded
skipper, I neglected to order them

closed. You the diving officer,
Knowlton? No, sir, I am.

I thought so.

If you'd listened a little more to your
uncle, you wouldn't have your superior

officer taking the buck for you.

Knowlton, you can't make an officer
efficient by alibying for him.

Every man aboard my vessel will stand on
his own feet to get off, understand?

Yes, sir.

Holders? Yes, sir.

Carry on with your shore leave.

Oh, the Lord Mayor is giving a ball in
our honor tonight.

You'll report there and make your
numbers.

Just a routine appearance, sir.

Oh, you'll be expected to stay all
evening. Pay your respects to all high

-ranking officers and their wives.

Show me the way to go home.

I'm tired and I want to go to bed.

Had a little drink about an hour ago and
it went right to my head.

3 ,000 miles to push Admiral's wives
around a dance floor.

Heralds of the submarine service.

Hey, Tom, you didn't have to take the
buck from me about those Kingston's. Oh,

forget it.

What burns me up is losing this liberty.

Well, what are you going to do about it?

I'm going to whirl those old red knots
once around that dance floor and be out

of there by ten o 'clock.

Then what, sweetheart?

What do you think, bright eyes?

Again?

I'd like permission to speak to you,
sir.

Come in, McDougal.

Captain, I wonder if I could... Just a
minute.

Article 85.

No person in the naval service shall
loan money to any other person in said

service except by permission of the...
You want me to go on with this,

No, no, sir. I'm familiar with it.

But you see, Captain, I haven't drawn
any pay for the past six weeks.

No, sir. There was a hotel doorman
trying to steal my girl.

My niece, Captain, it was. My little
niece.

And, of course, I had to discipline him.
And when the doctor washed him off, it

wasn't the doorman. It was a Marine.

You want to borrow $10?

Well, yes, sir. I could buy my poor old
mother a present, sir.

What's that?

$10, sir.

Is it yours?

No.

What'll I do with it?

Keep it.

Repair it to the ship's welfare farm.

Aye, aye, sir.

It certainly is a pleasure, Captain, to
serve under a man that knows the book.

That's enough, McDougal.

Yes, sir.

Shabob.

Now, remember, you men, what the captain
said about fighting with these blamies

and none of that Bunker Hill stuff.

Say, get a load of the swell Italian
girls, eh, Mac?

Ah, the poor dears and their husbands is
all at the front fighting the enemy.

Yeah, we'll have to do everything we can
to stop their grieving.

Now, that long seaboard you have, it
sure made me sympathetic.

Say, do you suppose they have a good
dental clinic here?

I'd like to exchange opinions.

I don't know, but they got some swell
museums.

I'm laying off them museums.

The last one I was in, I got my head
split open.

No, you don't get me.

Museums where they have the nude
pictures.

That's the kind of a turn it was.

Hey, look, the British have to have
marines, too.

Ah!

The ancient boss along the blooming
pelican.

Pelican?

Yeah, that marine thinks he's awful
solid, don't he?

He ain't no marine.

He's a two -legged elk.

Look at them teeth.

Boy, what upper centaurs.

Yeah, I'll get him ashore tonight and
I'll knock him out of his head.

That'll be great, Mac. And then I can
examine him more closely.

Oh, boys, get a load of that.

That'll be super bold.

What big eyes you had, Grandma.

Yeah, baby?

Sorry I couldn't bring the war on any
sooner, but here we go.

Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What
about me? Hasn't she got a friend?

I'll take your time.

Am I irresistible or is it just my good
breathing?

Don't let that big nose see you, baby.

I guess she's getting a girl for me.

Why, that's my influence.

Without me, you wouldn't get the first
base.

That's the one for you.

For me?

I wonder

if my old man ever taught it.

Well, honey, I'm past 40, but I'll try.

I don't care what you say. I'm not going
out with her.

What? There's nothing wrong with her.
She's got a mighty trim little hoe.

But I can't see past her bow sprint.

Well, maybe she's built for speed.

Mac, look.

The elk.

This is a dead owl, love.

Well, what about him?

Delight me.

You promised to help me do a little
extracting, didn't you? We'll tend to

later. The captain told us to
fraternize.

And look what's waiting to fraternize
with me.

All right. Stay here. But I've got to
get one of them fans.

or don't you live in the past?

Well, if it ain't, then tell it to me.

What's that up in your face, Yank?

Bunker Hill.

Do you want to climb it? Well, I don't
see no steps.

Now look here, I'm going to... Well,
have you had enough?

Stay with him for me.

Stay with him. Look, he's ate all, Phil.
What did you say?

Well, what about it? What's that?

Say, look at that scrap.

That's McDougal and Smith.

What is it you're doing?

Hey, hey, what's going on here?

Street brawl, sir.

There's room in the brig?

No, I'll take care of these men. They're
from my ship. Very well, sir. Fall in.

Pick up your ass.

We're going to make an example of you.

I'll never forget this party as long as
I live. Oh, yes, yes, indeed.

I just adore dancing.

My dear, he's marvelous. You must dance
with him. It will be a pleasure, I'm

sure. If you two ladies will drop anchor
here, Mr. Walters and I would be glad

to get you some punch.

She stepped all over me while we were
dancing and walked right up to my knees

when we stopped. And that isn't all.
Draw a beat on that line of targets over

there.

All the charm and beauty of a row of
tanks.

See that fourth one from the end?

With the big blue mustache?

She's certainly putting up a big front.

And it's all for me.

That's my next partner.

That one on the end is mine.

Okay, if she'd take off those leggings.

There must be some way to get out of
here.

How about that bathroom window?

That's a 20 -foot drop.

No, it's only 16.

Sure that's all? Mm -hmm.

Come on.

You saw a water spout.

Do tell me about it, Admiral.

You're interested?

Mm -hmm. Oh, break.

I don't think we ought to go sneaking
out of here like this.

Hey, what's the matter? Aren't you well?

I'll know in a minute.

May I claim the honor of this waltz?
Waltz another hero?

Why are you Americans so divinely
polite?

We are faithful to the code of the sea.
What is that?

Never bite an admiral. Keep sober.
Always dance with the admiral's wife,

may be an admiral yourself someday.

Tell me, young man, what is your game,
dancing with an old red knot?

Well, I... Come now.

Be honest.

I saw you talking to a young lady, and I
thought... Oh, of course, of course, my

dear boy.

She's cruising this way now.

With an old walrus.

Well, that's my husband.

So you hid the admiralty. I'm terribly
sorry. I didn't know.

He does look like a walrus, doesn't he?

Do you suppose we could follow their
cable and stand by for repairs?

Of course.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Will you take me in
here, Toe Huey? I'm a very able

for you, my dear.

I was crawling out of this menagerie on
my hands and knees when I saw you.

Well, we still haven't been introduced.

Will you stop?

I'm a spy.

Not very clever of you to admit it.

What are you spying for?

Some way for you and me to get out of
here.

Really? Where would we go?

Well, I've taken a little villa right
near here, and I'd like your advice on

music room decoration.

Well, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be of
any help at all.

You heard Lady Higby say I was an able
navigator.

I could chart a swell course for the
evening.

Will you answer a straight question?

Mm -hmm.

What were your plans for the evening
before you were roped into this party?

You want me to lie to you?

No. But don't let me keep you.

You crawl right on through.

Wherever you were calling.

Oh, please. You chart the course.

Well, if you promise not to leave me
within 20 feet of the exit, I'd love to

continue dancing.

I can't imagine anything more gorgeous.
A direct hit.

You're thunk, my friend.

I'll speak to them about letting the
rabble in.

Crude crime -evil fellow.

Always having trouble with him like
this.

I'm Ed Walters.

More of the intellectual dreamer type.

Oh, excusez -moi, monsieur.

What's his name? Oh,

Tommy Norton.

You know, I hate crowds.

I love to have quiet conversations in
the corner, away from the babbling

chatter. Pardon me.

May I steal a dance with my daughter?

Your daughter?

Oh, surely, sir. You didn't know he had
a daughter, did you? I never mixed

family and navy.

Having a good time, my dear?

Oh, it's glorious to feel all this
again. The music and the people. Sorry,

May I cut?

Thank you, my dear.

That frozen -faced old crab is my
commanding officer.

He's mine, too.

That frozen -faced old crab is my father
and the nicest man I know.

I'm terribly sorry. I didn't know. All I
say, this is a frame -up.

I was just going to cut back.

Good. You can take me out to the balcony
and get me a champagne cup. I wouldn't

have said anything but... Oh, guerrilla
tactics, hmm?

Why the double shroud effect?

Erase.

Oh, you are... That man's here again.

Oh, please don't hold against me what I
said about your father.

You see, we're kind of sore at him.

Dragging us up here and making us dance
with a lot of old battle axes and... I

beg you... Oh, you know what I'm trying
to say.

We've been at sea for four weeks.

It's our right to have a little fun.

That's only fair, isn't it?

It sounds reasonable.

Oh, I'm not worrying. You like father.

Everyone does.

I'll drink to that.

Well, shall we go inside?

Must we go inside?

Well, you're supposed to, aren't you? I
don't want to do everything I'm supposed

to do.

What's all that celebration going on
down there?

That's a street carnival.

Like that kind of thing?

I used to be a regular Coney Island
fiend.

Oh, yeah, tossing rings over canes,
shoot the shoot. Uh -huh, and I scream

roller coasters, too. Oh, we're off to
the races. We'll go down there, swallow

lot of confetti, and pretend we're 15
years old.

Oh, but I'm not 15 years old.

I'm an old married woman.

You're kidding.

Really?

Is he here?

No.

That's a ray of hope.

Where is he?

Do you really want to go into that?

No.

You can get your wrap and we can be back
here before this shim digs over. You

don't want to waste your time with
married women.

You go down there alone.

I'm sure you won't be alone long.

I insist on your coming.

I'd take you along if you had nine
children.

You haven't nine children, have you? No.

Well, then?

Oh, it sounds swell and undignified and
crazy, but... But what?

Well, you promised not to mention
anything about villas. That would spoil

everything. I promise.

How would you feel about a small
chateau?

That's all right.

I don't mind you stepping on my feet,
you big horse.

I thought you promised to scream and
faint. Only on roller coasters.

No, just my luck and I haven't got one
here.

I'll get a light.

I'm sorry I'm such a blithering idiot.

I lose my mind completely in these
things.

They're plenty wicked. Plenty.

It's not that.

The crazy ocean of my own. One of those
wild things.

I imagine there's one of those dreadful
bombs over my head. Coming right at me.

It might be up there someplace.

Maybe two miles.

That's an interesting idea.

It's absolutely mad.

I don't think you'll be able to shake it
off.

One of those dreadful things up there in
the dark coming right at me.

Look out, you'll have my hair standing
on end.

It's horrible.

I'm frightfully ashamed.

All right, if you're going to drop, come
on and drop. Don't do that.

Look out, there might be another one.

I'm sorry, that was a rotten thing to
say.

Where are we?

This is my place.

Sit down.

yourself together.

This frightful business.

It'll be over in a minute.

That's it.

You think they've gone and back they
come.

You can't look ahead a minute these
days.

Let's drink to the peaceful past.

I've almost forgotten it.

Okay.

We have no past, we have no future.

You and I.

Right here, right now.

What if we just met to die together?

You afraid of death?

No.

Life?

You aren't getting intellectual, are
you?

Heaven forbid.

You know, there's something rather
wonderful about you.

I don't know what it is.

But whatever it is, here's to it.

Funny, isn't it?

What's funny?

Just the two of us here like this.

But no one's to blame.

That's very nice of you.

I would have arranged it like this if I
could.

But I didn't, did I?

No, I know you didn't.

Funny.

You like the word funny, don't you?

Well, it is kind of... kind of... Funny?

Makes the rest of the world seem a
million miles away, doesn't it?

Yes.

Do you have a feeling that you've never
known anyone as well as you know me?

Something like that.

It must be safe to go now.

No, it isn't safe yet.

You know, down on that boat nights, I've
had a dream about a silly place.

Well, maybe not quite as silly as this,
but the sort of a place you could

picture a girl in.

Do you know who the girl was?

You.

That's taboo.

You're pulling a how dare you, sir.

And I didn't mean any harm.

Well, I'm sorry that was stupid of me.

And what if I did mean harm?

When life has a chance to be as short as
it can be, who has any right to tell us

that we shouldn't live every minute of
it, and while we can?

Oh, I didn't mean to say anything like
that.

But we had an understanding when we came
out.

Best of intentions don't always hold up,
do they?

Oh, but this could never be anything but
silly.

I'm sure it's all right to go now. They
seldom last any longer than this.

Won't you stay a while and let me raise?
I can't. Really, I can't.

You're going to wake me up in a minute,
back on that boat. I know it. We've had

a drink together. That's tangible.

We've done that before in the dream.

Please.

Please take me back.

Yes, if you'll tell me the truth about
something.

About what?

You're going because you're afraid of
yourself.

Not because you're afraid of me.

That's it, isn't it?

Oh, no, no, it's impossible. We must
forget it. Not a chance in the world.

and I are just starting. You don't know
what you're talking about. If you did,

you wouldn't say that.

Tommy, it doesn't make any difference.
Oh,

sorry,

Tommy. I've got to get aboard right
away.

What's the matter?

Orders. It'll be underway in five
minutes.

Get me a cab, Brick, will you, in a
hurry?

Please don't worry about me. I'll find
my way. No, you won't. Hurry up, Brick.

You're having time, Tommy. We'll just
make it.

Please. Tom.

Are you sure you'll be all right? Yes,
of course.

I'll wait outside.

Darling, don't forget about me. I'm
coming back.

That's how it is. Don't forget.

I love you.

Ready to relieve you, son.

Okay. Take over the scenery.

What's the matter? Sunstroke?

No, this air stinks.

I've got a headache I wouldn't give the
Kaiser for Christmas.

Who's on that periscope?

I'll just relieve you, sir.

I'm going to make him smile someday if I
have to use plastic surgery.

Hey, what's that off our port bow?

I don't know. I just picked it up. Hey,
Mumpson, send me in a cup of coffee,

will you?

You drinking orange extract already?

Are you casting insinuations on us,
Poison? Well, it's mighty funny every

you belch your smell like a wedding.

Swine. And I've taught you the one happy
family.

Quite a reception those bombers gave us
last night, wasn't it?

Yes. You and Joan left the dance before
the fireworks started, didn't you? Yes,

sir.

I was worried about her.

Poor kid. She's had a tough time the
last year or two.

Really?

I'm doing all my power to make it easier
for her.

The minefields are not plotted on this
chart.

No, sir. They're on... Mine layer off
our port bow, Captain.

That's 2 -5 -1. That's 2 -5 -1, sir.

All torpedo tubes ready.

All torpedo tubes ready.

All torpedo tubes ready.

Torpedo depth 12 feet. Torpedo depth 12
feet.

Torpedo depth 12 feet.

Ready to go.

Ready to go, sir.

Number one for PD2 ready.

Number one ready.

Fire one.

Fire one.

between the...

who strikes me around in this ballgame.

They got the ship's boat waters take a
boarding party

Do you get the code book if he's not
sinking? Settler.

Aye, aye, sir.

Dick, don't like Fiona, do you? No, I
don't believe in that boy.

Say, are you rational?

I wouldn't do that if it would get me my
diploma tomorrow.

Why, I... Hey, get a load of that, will
you, sailor?

Oh, that's different.

Ride number two, fast -

You know, to sit on that...

Close the doors to a torpedo tube. Maybe
they'll think they hit us.

Oil blown out, sir.

Watch your course. 345, sir. Steer 80.

80, sir.

Watch your depth. Keep her at 70.

And remember this.

Wars are not fought on any sentimental
basis.

I'm getting orders aboard this ship, and
as long as I am, you'll obey them. You

understand?

I'm sorry about Walters.

You better turn in. I'll stand your
watch.

Gee, I swallowed my gum on account of
those bombs.

There'll be another bout in just a
moment. We'll wait. Don't worry.

We'll wait.

What a beautiful instrument.

Say, I'd give a nickel to see some guy
walk along with a two -day cut.

Hey, partner. Will you fight somebody
for me? I'll give you five bucks.

Why? And take a chance and ruin my
figure for five bucks? Well, now, why

You just took me for my last five to buy
those horses.

Well, who do I fight?

Why, uh, an Australian.

An Australian.

It's in the bag.

Say, I've never seen a lammy or an
Australian yet that I couldn't lick.

Just a moment, gentlemen. A special
bout. The battling baby from Boston.

Right this way, boy.

Here,

set this on.

Say, how long do you want this fight to
last?

you ought to be finished in about three
minutes.

Good night, Bob. Come on, that'll take
you in a fifth.

See you at the bell.

Who guarantees to knock out the demon
from down under?

Hey there, gang.

We're here to help pick up the feature.

Oh, it's you, huh?

Say, when I get finished with this
Australian, I'm going elk hunting.

When he gets through.

Hold that smile, will you? Hold it.

Gee, they're beautiful.

I've got to get... Okay, boss.

All right, all right.

one in particular, or would I be?

Miss Joan Standish. Oh, yes. She takes
care of the patient over there on the

parallel bars.

She'll be somewhere close by.

Thanks.

Can I give you a hand? Yes.

Go easy with his legs.

What is it?

Pine. Oh.

Thanks, old Jeff.

Silly thing to do, wasn't it?

You shouldn't try to do things like
that.

But I have to try it.

What do you mean?

Well, I'm going to fly on crutches for
the rest of my life. I must exercise my

wing.

How'd this happen?

Flying. A little accident behind a
cloud. Oh. Herbert, dear, what have you

Were you badly hurt? No, darling, not a
bit.

Right as rain.

Someone run and tell you what a dove I
was?

Yes.

How do you do?

Hello. You two know each other?

Lieutenant Knowlton is on father's ship.

Oh, how nice.

This is my husband, Lieutenant.

How do you do?

How is father?

Is he all right?

Yes.

You just in, Lieutenant?

Yes.

Yes, I... I came straight up here.

Hi, my dear.

Hello, Father. Hello, Commander.

Hello, Norton. Captain.

I hope, Lieutenant, that... Why, what's
the matter with the boy?

I'm sorry, old man.

How's my little girl?

Wait a minute, sir. Something wrong with
Lieutenant Knowlton.

He seems badly fuddled.

Yes, he lost his best friend, Brick
Walters. They were great comrades.

He's dead?

Yes, he was away from the ship. We had
to submerge without him.

Father, can you stay here for a few
minutes?

I have something to do. I'll be back in
a little while.

Father just told me about your friend,
Rick.

Yes? I wanted you to know how badly I
felt about it.

Thanks.

Care for a drink? No, thanks.

Meeting my husband as you did was quite
a shock, wasn't it?

What do you think?

When you left the hospital just now, I
knew exactly what you thought of me.

That I wasn't worth very much.

Please don't think I'm a common little
creature who didn't know what she was

doing. I haven't any noble ideas about
this situation, none whatsoever.

Anybody with a grain of common sense
would be able to tell you that a girl

up as you are would let her foot slip
sometime.

The thing that eats me is it happened to
be me that night.

It might have been anybody.

How dare you say anything like that to
me? If you mean that, if you're on the

level... You fell in love with me just
as I fell in love with you.

Is that what you mean?

I don't know the answer.

I've made a frightful mess of
everything.

I had no right... That's not the point.

Maybe it ought to be, but it isn't.

I fell in love.

That's all there is to that.

I've been making up fantastic romances
about us.

I was going to... Come back.

Find you.

Fix things up.

And we were going to live happily ever
after.

Frick and I used to sit up nights
figuring it out.

I'm sorry, Tom.

I just couldn't tell you.

I didn't mean any harm.

Won't you try to forgive me?

Everything's Jake, Joan.

It's okay.

You're the only girl in the world.

I do love you, Tom.

There's no harm in you knowing it now.

This is goodbye.

What did you say?

This must be goodbye. Yes, I know. I
didn't hear that.

Oh, it's all so hopeless. You know it
is. What's hopeless about it?

Please let me go. How can I let you go
now that I know you love me? But it

mean anything.

Maybe I'm out of my mind. I don't know.

But I'm not going to let you make any
fake sacrifice that won't do any good to

anybody. There have been plenty of men
wounded in this war, and maybe my

all haywire on that.

But whatever we have from now on, we're
going to share, and nothing's going to

happen to it, nothing.

Oh, it's madness, absolute madness.

Captain?

Unexpected pleasure.

Care for a drink?

I don't mind.

Joan?

No, thank you.

What did you do, Father?

Follow me?

Should I apologize for that?

I can't imagine you apologizing for
anything, son.

I don't plan on doing things I'd be
sorry for.

Here's to discipline.

There's nothing like it.

And nothing without it.

It's a discipline.

It leaves almost nothing.

Shall we go now, Father?

All right, my dear.

Goodbye, Tom.

Returning to the area of our foreign
patrol, where other enemy mine layers

reported to have resumed operation.

I'll read you paragraphs three and four
of our orders.

You'll observe, plot, and report the
mine -laying activities of the enemy.

Under no circumstances will you allow
your presence to be disclosed.

That's all.

Now, Mr. Knowlton.

Yes, sir?

Yesterday's occurrence was somewhat of a
shock.

You'll excuse me, sir, but I think the
situation involves only three people.

I'm glad to know that you've included
Joan's husband in the situation.

The first thing I'm going to do when I
get back is to tell him exactly how Joan

and I feel about each other.

You'll be careful, won't you, when he
stands on both legs and fights for what

thinks is his.

That's pretty cheap.

Joan and I didn't plan to fall in love.

There's no book of regulations governing
that.

There used to be a code of honor. Code
of honor? What's dishonorable about a

and a woman falling in love?

and admitting it to the only person who
has any right to know, her husband.

What's honorable about admitting an
intention to steal and then going ahead

it? It's still theft, isn't it? You told
me war couldn't be fought on a

sentimental basis.

Okay, that's just a minute. You weren't
sentimental about Walters. Why are you

so sentimental where your daughter's
concerned?

I tell you, life can't be lived on a
sentimental basis either. There isn't

I love Joan, and she loves me, and
anybody who... I'm at fault for bringing

up at sea.

Continue this discussion ashore.

That's all.

Yes, sir.

Don't you know that ain't a full deck?
Sure, only 49 cars.

What are you playing for?

I don't know. Keeps my mind off sex.

You ain't allowed to smoke submerged.

Oh, are we underwater now?

No, it's the perfume you smell.

Oh, hey, was that premeditated?

I'm sorry. I guess I lost my balance,
sir. What are you sir -ing him for? Does

he look like an athlete?

Let's not go into my private life.

Somebody wet nurse this infant before he
breaks something.

They're certainly in a rush job with
this war. One day in port and we're out

being heroes again.

Say, where are we going? Niagara Falls.
Skipper's on his honeymoon.

Now, don't say you made up your mind you
ain't going.

We're all dependent on you.

Oh, I'll go, all right.

Get off the nose of that fish. We got to
keep that drunk.

Hey, Leary, another destroyer just
joined up. What class?

Latest type.

What a cinch it would be to knock the
three of them down.

Rick would love them for company.

Yeah.

Tennyson, did you find that shoe of
yours?

No. Well, it might interest you to know
that you're eating it right now.

What's the matter with the ham?

It's imported from the States.

Well, they must have towed it all the
way over. It's plenty salty.

That's the way you cure ham, you boot.

If that ham was ever cured, it's had a
relapse.

You're still a boot.

Just dropped another about square 104,
I'd say.

Still on the same line?

Yes, sir. Dropping one about every
hundred yards.

They just swing around the horizon.

Yes, sir.

Where's the last one?

Here, sir.

There's our dinghy.

What?

That's it, all right.

They ought to have the decency to sink
it. What about Walters and those men?

They may still be alive. No, not a
chance. If he was alive, they'd have

him prisoner.

Continue observation.

We've got to go up and find out. We can
take care of those three destroyers. I'd

sink them in a holy minute if it wasn't
for orders.

Let me know if there's any change in
their operations.

What do you make of it?

Take that.

It's Walter, sir. He's alive. I just saw
him move. No, no. It's impossible,

Dalton. I tell you, I saw him move.
We've got to go up. We can't. Those

destroyers would cut us in two before we
could open a hatch. Not if we put all

four torpedoes into them. Our orders are
merely to observe.

Get back to your station.

It's easy enough to stick by the book
when you know you're dodging a fight.

That'll do.

Get back to your station.

All right.

Speed, it did move.

I didn't see anything.

Series batteries, full ahead.

Series batteries, full ahead.

Swing right to course 190.

Tom, what are you going to do?

Take it.

Torpedo room. Torpedo room. All torpedo
tubes ready?

All torpedo tubes ready.

Tom, what are you doing? We're going to
go up after break. Oh, you fool, Tom.

Stand by for battle service.

That's an order, Speed.

Five left to 1 -7 -0. Five left to 1 -7
-0, sir. You're four nuts. You can't

fire. You can't fire against orders.

Ten and I.

Ten and I.

Your gun's screwing. You don't know what
you're doing. Hang on here. I told you

we could get him. Alston, check the
depth.

Thirty feet, sir.

Okay, all. Back up. Let's go.

Holden!

200, sir.

listening to.

Muller. Aye, sir.

I got a few men.

Bring out some copper tools and get busy
on those legs.

And Joe. Oh, they're all grounded.

So I have to down a skipper with guns
and blades in here. Aye, aye, sir. Cut

that, sir.

Are you hurt, Matt?

Honey, catch it, will you?

Captain, we've just burned some bad
leaks up in the torpedo room.

Bradford? Yes, sir? Get some men from
the host for us. Go forward and take

charge. Aye, aye, sir.

Don't be the loony. Your bare hands,
Gardner. Roll up your pants.

They sound better, perhaps, sir. I meant
hard left, sir.

I wonder

what

happened. Someone must have left the
bathtub running.

Boy, that one is good. Tell me, what do
you expect, buttermilk?

Warhead loose!

Don't let it hit us! Go to a TNT! Get a
hold of it! Grab it!

Go to the hamburger!

Somebody move! Catch it! Get away from
that thing! Get in front of it!

Watch it! Break it, break it, blow out.
Have it fixed in a minute.

Please take it off!

Any sign?

We'll have it up with you in a minute.
Take it off!

Help me get this warhead off. Take it
off!

Easy now. Careful.

Can you hear us?

Can you hear us? Can you hear us?

My machine stopped. My machine stopped.

Stop. Stop everything.

They're trying to spot us. We play the
same game.

Stop those fans.

Get this hop in to you. It'll stop the
itching. No, no. I don't need it.

I can stand it, Mr.

McDougal. That's Mac to you.

Here. I took some myself once.

On this?

Did you, Mac? Sure.

Here you go.

That'll fix you up.

Thanks.

Stay with it, buddy.

I'll be back in a minute.

What's the last thing?

Bering 80, stop at B. Nelson, lay out a
course to the Italian coast, I say.

We'll run for it when they start again.

Bainfield, stop!

Bainfield, I say!

Bainfield! Bainfield!

There they go. They're getting out of
the way.

I'll have batteries.

Half switch, both motors.

Half switch, both motors.

What's the bottom here?

Sand. What's the depth?

265 feet.

What's around the bottom? Without
weight. She'll never stand the pressure,

Captain. She was only built for 200.
What's around the bottom?

2 ,000 in the auxiliary.

2 ,000 in the auxiliary.

235, 240, 245. Level her off.

I'll pull her.

I'll pull her.

Back to your stations.

What's the pressure on the air banks?

Ninety -nine hundred and one, fourteen
fifty and two, eleven twenty -five and

three.

What a haul.

Two hundred and sixty feet and she never
popped a rivet.

Well, she's holding together.

Stop that gyro compass.

Close it, Bradford. You go through that
battery room.

Take charge. I'm going forward. Yes,
sir.

What's the matter here?

Chlorine. Mr. Knowlton ordered us out.

Let out that forward battery. Forward
battery out.

Forward battery flooded. Filling up with
chlorine, sir. Here are the dogs on

that door. Bradford, take half your men
out.

We'll equalize the air supply.

Good. Casey.

Leonard.

Take it easy. Save oxygen.

Still overhead, Miller?

Yes, sir.

Can you get a bearing?

No, sir. Noise to a general. Plant
center it.

Chief, I wonder what port we're in.

What's the difference? No liberty today.

Battery ventilator filled with chlorine.
Joints cracked open. Seal them up.

Give me some rags and water. Get me that
linen out of the wardroom.

Hey, Djugo, give us half our oxygen
supply.

Hurry up with that water.

Fill it up all the way through, sir.
Hurry up with that water.

Never be able to stop it. I don't think
so, sir.

Hang her up.

I can still hear them, sir.

Fuller, stay in both motors. Fuller,
stay in both motors, sir. Stay down here

like rats and go inside and out.

Get out of those motors.

Both motors landed, sir.

Roll the ring with the tank.

Let me take this up.

Won't blow anymore. The sea pressure and
air pressure equalize.

Anderson, put the high -pressure pump on
the main ballast tanks.

Pump on the main ballast tanks.

Clutch bolt hole, sir.

Heighten up those clutch bolts.

You know the last thing that could send
a crane on a corpse is the teeth?

Oh.

Ready to try it, sir. All right, go
ahead.

Set him up, Fuldo. All it'll take.

All right, take that clutch out and put
new levers in.

Hurry, get my hand here.

Stay with it, man. We'll get out of
this.

Get around on this side.

I don't have to break out the rest of
that oxygen.

Maybe they're saving it.

What for?

Forever, if they don't get that clutch
fixed.

We count any gardener.

Hey, fellas.

Fellas, can't you hear me?

I left him in there.

Hey, fellas.

Can't you hear me?

Let's have the rest of that oxygen,
McGill.

Yes, sir.

No, sir. No, I'm going in and get that
kit. You can't go in there. Nobody can.

Open that door. It'll be our finish.

Got him, sir.

Easy with that stuff.

Shut up, will you?

Don't you hear me?

Almost, sir.

The oxygen's all gone, sir.

Break out that soda lime.

Break up the Zimri wheel. Put it in the
clutch, maybe it'll hold.

Zimri?

Hey,

don't go to sleep, Nelson. You'll never
wake up.

when I get the pump fixed.

Waiting for the pump, eh? Well, I'm not.

You guys can have my oxygen.

chance to join the air cybers.

You couldn't get me up in one of them
planes.

Anderson, you take the bow plane.

250.

240.

Colton, get the gun crew ready.

220.

Go through. Let's go.

200.

180. Is there more?

More.

Ground cleared. What motor?

Motorhead. Motorhead, sir.

That's seven.

Eight, sir.

Eight.

Anything any easier?

No.

Come

in.

You sent for me, sir? You'll consider
yourself under arrest.

and find yourself to your room aboard
the tenor awaiting the inquiry.

Yes, sir.

I'll request it be held as soon as
possible.

Is that all, sir?

That's all, Norton.

Commander Tola.

Admiral. Hello, Tola. You've been doing
good work.

Good luck, sir.

Repairs completed?

Yes, sir. Will you tell the commander
what we have in view? Yes.

These are not orders, Toro. This is a
matter to be volunteered for. I

sir.

This is the harbor of Durazo.

The only base from which enemy
submarines are able to operate in the

Mediterranean. Their surface ships are
safely bottled up.

But their U -boats are still a tragic
danger to us.

Our job is to bottle up their submarines
also. Yes, sir.

Here is the narrowest point in the
harbor's entrance.

Fortunately for us, also the shallowest.

This tower...

If it were blown up, would dump a load
of masonry into the bottleneck and seal

up their submarines.

It's impossible for surface craft to
accomplish this.

Minefields, shore batteries.

That means a submarine is to approach
unobserved.

Precisely. We think six tons of TNT in
the bow of a sub would do the trick

nicely. For the submarine and for the
tower.

If that's all, sir, I'll make
preparations and select my crew.

You're in full command.

When do we proceed?

You'll be informed.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Come in.

Later to see you, sir.

I'm so sorry, Tommy. So dreadfully
sorry.

As long as you're here, there's nothing
to be sorry for.

If you're crying for me, you can cut it
out. Do you hear me?

It's the disgrace. I know how you feel.

No, you don't.

You don't know how I feel until I tell
you.

Right here, right now, with you in my
arms, I don't care a hang what they do

me. The world's a big place.

There's plenty of room for two small
people to move around in.

And if you love me, I'll kick down every
fence they build around me. If I love

you, I love you so much, that's all I
know.

I don't care how hard it is. I have no
place else in the world but with you.

With all my heart, Tommy.

That's how it is.

Heart and soul.

I know I'm asking a lot.

I'm not kidding myself.

But if you love me and will take a
chance with me, I'll make it up to you.

my life.

That's what I came here to say.

Just that.

I don't care what the verdict is.

I'll laugh at it.

And if they kick me out for what I've
done, you and I will laugh at it.

As long as we live.

As long as we live.

Commander of the United States Naval
Forces in the European waters.

Remove the insignia.

The orders have been obeyed, sir. Take
the prisoner below.

Keep him under guard until he leaves the
ship.

Aye, sir.

Leave your quarter.

Has the 14 been picked for the Durazzo
job?

Yeah.

It's the last job she'll ever be picked
for.

You've got to adjust in time.

Yeah.

May I have a talk with you, Norton?

Come to give me some good advice?

I came because I'm sorry for you.

Very sorry.

No.

I didn't think you planned on doing
things you'd be sorry for. I came to

out what you're going to do about Joan.
I'm going to spend the rest of my life

giving Joan the happiness she deserves.

That's going to be my career.

I suppose that sounds like a lot of
hooey to you.

No one has ever been able to live down
the kind of disgrace you brought upon

yourself. The disgrace you handed me? If
there's a post office at the bottom of

Durazzo Harbor, I'll send you a letter
and thank you. So you're going to share

this disgrace with Joan, eh? Is that
your idea of making her happy?

Disgrace or glory, Tola, what difference
does it make?

That's rover boy stuff.

Have you ever heard of two people who
loved above and beyond those things?

Or did you ever hear of love?

Joan is still Joan.

Decent. Unselfish at heart.

Knowing that the only real happiness is
to devote her life to the man who needs

her most. And she thinks I need her
most.

The same way she needs me.

What do you think of that?

I'm going to get her away from here in
spite of you, in spite of everything.

We're going to get us far away from this
red plush sense of honor and decency

that you've got as we can.

She told me as much, standing right
where you are, with my arms around her.

I don't believe it. Yes, you do, Tolery.
You wouldn't be here.

Call it selfishness. Call it rotten and
low. Call it anything you like.

But it's love, too. The only kind we
know, and greater than anything.

I'm going to go and see her husband and
tell him.

And then I'm going to take her.

If you had a heart, you'd see what I
mean.

You think I haven't got a heart because
I don't wear it on my sleeve.

Don't you think I'd like to see her
married to a man strong and healthy?

Don't you think I know of her hunger for
life?

I've watched her with a nick in my heart
ever since he was wounded.

But get this.

If she thinks she can sneak off in the
dark with you, as you say she's planning

to do, both of you riding roughshod over
your obligations, slapping honor and

decency in the face, if you two can find
a happiness based on the misery of a

shattered faith and a pair of withered
legs, then I don't know anything about

life. I can't get to Durazzo quick
enough.

Well, I've had my say, and I hope for
all your fakes I'm wrong.

Good luck, son.

Yes?

Lieutenant Standish.

No one can see Lieutenant Standish. He
just came from the operating room.

Who's there?

Tom Ropen.

Oh, come in, Lieutenant.

Come right in.

Hello, old man.

Don't let the excitement worry you.

I'm the happiest man alive.

Now, remember, Doc, if you see her, try
not to look as though you've had good

news. Not too much talking.

I'll give you exactly two minutes.

I shan't rest or stop talking until
somebody finds my wife and brings her

Nice of you to come, old man.

What's happened?

They got me in this strait, Jagged.

It means there's definite hope that I'll
be all right again.

That's great.

Oh, I've no doubt the world would be
able to get along all right if I never

walked again, but... I want to see the
look in Joan's eyes when I tell her.

Poor kid.

I'd made up my mind if the verdict went
against me.

To free Joan of me somehow.

I thought, see if I could make her hate
me and quit.

You know, I thought of all sorts of
crazy things.

And now I shan't have to.

Life looked pretty black yesterday.

But it looks good now.

It looks good now.

Yes.

I'll be able to make up to Joan for her
devotion.

Time's up, Lieutenant.

Nice of you to come along, old man.

I had to talk to somebody or I'd have
busted my new straight jacket.

Good luck.

By the way, if you come across Joan, you
won't tell her, will you?

No.

No, I won't tell her.

Yes, just a minute.

They want you at the hospital.

I'll go in a little while.

She'll be there in a little while.

Huh.

Family party, eh?

Where have you been, Tommy? I thought
you'd come to me as soon as you got

ashore. I thought I'd give your father a
chance to tell you how happy we'd be.

You started out just as I thought you
would.

A couple of drinks?

That's nothing new.

Why, no, of course not. There's nothing
extraordinary in that.

John.

Joan, isn't there anything I can say
that will make you see this as it is,

rotten it is? No, Father.

I'm sorry.

We love each other.

And Tommy needs me more than anyone else
now. Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Let's get this... Wait till we're alone,
darling.

We've a lot to talk about.

We've got nothing to say he can't hear.

You're not going with me because I need
you. That's a lot of bunk.

I didn't mean anything like that,
darling.

I'm going with you because I love you.

There's no sacrifice connected with it.
Joan, he doesn't even know what you're

talking about.

Oh, please, Father, this is our
business.

Nothing of the kind.

He's been in on this since the
beginning.

He seems to think you're making a great
big sacrifice of some kind.

Got nothing to share with you except
disgrace.

Is that what you meant when you said I
needed you?

Please, Tommy.

All I meant is that we have a fight
ahead of us, and we'll make it together.

Toler, everybody but me seems to become
a hypocrite when you come around. Now

that you're drunk, you might tell this
girl what your future is like.

What's in your mind? Father, I'm not a
child. I know what I want to do.

you're much too good for anything like
this. Oh, she's too good, is she?

All right, Toler, listen to this.

The first night we met, we fell into
each other's arms and we liked it.

all there is to that.

And she's leaving everything fat because
she likes my arms around her.

Not because she's making any sacrifice
of any kind. Tommy, you don't mean to

anything as brutal as that. I'm sick and
tired of all this talk about what's

right and what's wrong.

Your father kicked me out of the Navy
because he isn't human.

You're going with me because you are
human and for no other reason.

I love you. There's nothing else in the
world.

Now get this straightened by its right
name.

I gathered you in the first night we met
the same as I've done to a dozen

others. If you go with me, it's because
you're sick of looking at a husband flat

on his back.

and of listening to this puritanical
preacher who happens to be your father.

Please, Father.

No one could have told me that you could
be as vile as that. And if he'll leave

the room for five minutes, we'll be in
one another's arms again.

Yes.

Tell him I'll be right over.

Our mission is to ram this fort, grow it
to pieces, and bottle up the harbor.

Our present position is here.

We're lying on the bottom.

In five minutes, our battleships will
open fire from this area.

Simultaneously, our air squadron will
attack.

Our zero hour is four o 'clock at just
six minutes, at which time we will come

to the surface and make a run for the
harbor entrance.

What are you doing here?

I just thought I'd come along and see
the fun.

Go to my quarters.

You all know what to do.

When I come to the service, you will
complete your duties and jump overboard.

Speedboats will pick you up.

That's all. Take your stations.

Good luck.

Who helped you get aboard?

I can't answer that, sir.

The Navy doesn't need and doesn't want
help from men of your caliber.

Maybe so.

I just wanted you to know I wasn't drunk
last night.

You sent that girl back to her duty?

Two minutes to zero hour, sir.

Ah, well.

Sort of restores a man's faith in
things.

Take your station note.

It's not in the book, sir.

I guess the Navy won't mind if they find
it out.

Sorry I stuck you last night.

I'm glad you did.

It helped a lot.

Take a tip from me, sir.

Never lead with your right.

A man with a good left could knock your
block off.

Say, can you swim?

No, but I'm thinking of taking it up.

You're still figuring on joining that
Elks Lodge of mine, ain't you, Mac?

Sure, just soon as we get back to Sand
Street.

In case I get cramps or something,
here's a little present.

To show your grandchildren.

Take good care of it, Mac.

It's the only Elks channel that's kind
in the world.

Thanks, Doc.

Anybody with that on the ship? All
tanks, up rudders. All tanks, up

easy go. Get easy go, sir.

All right, men.

Take the wheel.

Hurry up, men.

Let's run together, if you have a better
chance of being picked up. I wish I

could stay with you, Captain. Go ahead.

I'll take it from here.

Maybe he needs officers like you,
Captain.

He's got me, hasn't he?

They need you in this war.

Get on the border or I'll arrest you.
