Original subtitles

Seaman William Powder, disrespect toward a non -commissioned officer.

Captain Vance.

Fireman Lance McGrain, assault.

Circumstances again? He attacked a first -class petty officer with his own

guitar.

Thought he was taunting him.

With what? His singing?

It was his ex -wife's favorite song, sir.

Masked.

Seaman Apprentice Brian Gidden.

This guy.

What's the charge?

Jumping from vessel into the water, sir. There is such an article?

134, sir. Apparently it's not the first time someone has tried to get discharged

this way.

Summary, court -martial. I want a piece of him before we give him what he wants.

Yes, sir.

That's it, sir.

That's it, really?

That's a light month.

Testimony to your leadership, sir.

Lieutenant, are you flattering me?

Calling it as I see it, sir.

Sir! You are out of line!

I'm sorry.

Kate? Sir, please.

The less dead, the better.

Your button, ma 'am.

Thank you, petty officer.

You all right, ma 'am?

Yes, I'm fine.

Dunny? Yes, ma 'am.

My desk is really clean.

Ma 'am, I cleaned it.

Where is everything?

Filed and organized, ma 'am.

I'm back to full duty now.

I'm aware of that, ma 'am. Which means I am capable of organizing my own desk.

It won't happen again, ma 'am. Welcome back.

Dunny? Yes, ma 'am.

Do you know why I'm back?

No, ma 'am.

Because I wanted to be around people who care about me.

Yes, ma 'am. Thank you. Yes, ma 'am.

Are you sure you want to do this, Harriet?

Oh, yes, ma 'am. I am now queen of the long -term project.

Come on, I'll introduce you around.

Lieutenant Colonel Sarah McKenzie. Lieutenant Harriet Sims.

This is Commander Caitlin Pike. Kate is TDY from Naval Legal Service Office in

San Diego.

Oh, it's a pleasure.

Nice to meet you.

You took the ring off.

Um... You're engaged!

Oh, my gosh!

Congratulations!

Well, when were you going to tell us?

Um, I was waiting for the right moment.

Well, if this is it, then I'll spread the word.

Excuse me.

Great news.

I'm sorry. No, please.

Congratulations.

Thanks. So how long are you here?

About a week.

Code 20, JAG MIS revision.

I worked on that for a while. I could not figure out the software.

Computers are my specialty.

Fastest fingers in the Navy. And when did you give up the title?

So you two work together.

I was at JAG for six months and went over to NCIS for a while.

We've been on the move ever since.

Upward. You two have a lot in common.

Accelerated promotion.

Well, we should have coffee or something. Love to.

You can tell me if he's behaving.

Commander Pike, I've got a full house here. I'm going to have to put you up in

the conference room.

No problem, sir.

Things look a little different around here since you were jagged last?

Commander Rabb is the only person I recognize, sir.

I'll try not to let that scare you.

I want you to think about my offer. I could use another good trial lawyer.

I will, sir.

Colonel. Yes, sir. You just heard.

Very happy for you.

Thank you, sir.

Sorry.

Sir.

Kate, how are you?

Fine, sir. Good to see you picked up Commander.

Thank you, sir.

You've been at Pearl, right, sir?

Pack Fleet, Deputy Commander.

That is, until two days ago. I arrived here last night.

Do you have business at JAXA?

A .J., Cheg Witten and I attended National War College together. I was

share some good news with him.

In fact, you might be interested as well.

I'm all ears, sir.

I've been selected to be the new Inspector General.

All I could say was, congratulations.

That's the standard response.

Once groped me at a briefing.

He was a captain then, in command of an amphibious ready group. I was a staff

judge advocate.

Did you report it? I handled it. He apologized and it was over.

I put it behind me.

Apparently not.

Well, this came up.

The Inspector General's office monitors complaints of sexual harassment.

What are you going to do about it?

I don't know.

His touching you, was it meant to humiliate or control you? No, it was

Was he a good CO?

Very.

Think he learned his lesson?

My assumption at the time.

Did he ever try it again?

Not to me, anyway.

Well, they must have investigated his past. I mean, if there was a pattern, it

would have come out.

Right.

But...

and that doesn't negate the fact that it happened. So if you want to report it,

I couldn't blame you.

No, you're right.

I'm going to drop it.

It was four years ago.

It's over.

Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

Is there that file we discussed?

Oh, uh... Lieutenant Singer, this is Commander Pike.

Commander was here five years ago.

You back now, ma 'am? The Admiral's made me an offer. I'm considering it.

Well, all the best then, ma 'am. Whatever your decision.

Thanks.

You think she heard anything?

Couldn't tell.

Meet your new boss yet?

Not only did I meet him, but he said as Inspector General, he had no interest in

separating a wife from her husband.

I get to stay on loan with Jack.

I know, isn't it good? That is so cool. Excuse me, ma 'am, sir.

I'm looking for Lieutenant Roberts.

Corporal Antoon?

Yes, sir.

Excuse us.

Right this way.

I appreciate this, sir. I know Headquarters Jags have better things to

fool the patrons from the Legal Assistance Office.

That's all right, Corporal. We often handle their overload.

Please, sit down.

Okay. So?

I'm the only woman Marine in a detail attached to an LAV.

Training Battalion, sir.

Communications Intercept Operator. We're at Quantico.

And I enjoy it. It's just that I've been wanting to be an officer for a while

now. Went back to school part -time, and I just finished my B .A. in January.

Oh, hey, congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

The problem is my CO won't approve my OCS package.

Are there any dings in your record?

No, sir.

Well, what's the basis of his decision?

My tattoo, sir.

I don't see a tattoo.

I'm sitting on it, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

Clayton Webb returned your call from yesterday. He said that the answers to

questions were yes, yes, yes, and no.

Is that about your brother?

Sergei said for the moment, weather in Chechnya is fine.

Negotiations for the release of the POWs are progressing, but no timetable has

been reached.

Three out of four.

Right over there.

Thank you.

Oh, how'd you pull that duty, bud?

I don't know what you're talking about, sir.

Come on, Lieutenant.

She's just a client.

Bud, you don't have to walk on eggshells with me anymore. I totally trust you.

Do you think I'm attracted to her? She's a knockout, Bud.

I think you're prettier than she is.

Now you're making me really nervous.

Sir? Hey, don't look at me. I would have thought that I trust you.

You're hot. Admit it.

I think that she could be pretty.

And now I'm worried. Jack Headquarters, Lieutenant J .G. Sims.

Commander Pike?

It's for you.

For me?

It's a reporter from the Washington Globe.

What does he want?

He wants to confirm reports that you were sexually harassed by the new

General.

How did they get an entire column out of no comment?

Well, at least we didn't run a photo of the bikini.

Yes, the photos without the bikini I'm worried about.

Are you always this open with strangers?

Only when I want that stranger to be open in return.

The girlfriend.

Thumbnail.

Oh, Renee is, um, unique.

Code for obnoxious.

Harm likes her.

Are they serious?

Why do you want to know?

He and I have a history.

A weekend, actually.

Really? What happened?

It ended there.

I decided that Harm couldn't handle a working partner who knew the color of

underwear.

How long did you two last?

We never started.

You'd already found your man, huh?

Actually, Mick came later.

Really?

And nothing happened before that. No, it was the same story. Close working

relationship.

It just never seemed right.

Good thing to avoid in any case.

I got involved with a senior officer in Okinawa.

Big mistake.

Major Bart.

Lieutenant Roberts from the Judge Advocate General's office, sir.

You got 60 seconds, Lieutenant.

Starting now.

It's concerning Corporal Antoon's tattoo, sir. She claims that it's the

that you refused to recommend her to OCS.

Have you seen this tattoo, Lieutenant?

Well, no, sir. It's on her backside. Exactly.

Well, sir, the corporal gave a written description of it in her application, a

heart surrounded by winged doves. How do you know it's not a swastika surrounded

by expletives?

Well, sir, the officers of Sessions' procurement section has determined that

written descriptions of tattoos in private areas are acceptable.

On a case -by -case basis, in this case, they are not.

Sir. Every OCS candidate has provided a photograph of their body art, with the

exception of Corporal Antoon.

Sir, isn't Corporal Antoon the only female in this battalion?

She is? Well, in that case... Time's up, Lieutenant.

I'm not processing that application unless she can prove to me that body art

inoffensive.

Is there a way I can make myself more clear on this matter?

Load them up!

Interesting reading, Lieutenant?

Book on management techniques, sir.

Oh, in preparation for your role as the first female Jack?

You're not making fun of me, are you, Commander?

You told me that that was your goal. I believed you.

That still is, sir. But I read up on a lot of topics.

Yeah? What do you think of Commander Pike?

I don't know her, sir.

She's a good attorney.

You realize that if she were to transfer here to Chang, she'd move ahead of you

for case assignments?

May I ask why we're having this discussion, Commander?

Are you aware of a past incident between Commander Pike and Avril Hollenbeck?

Everyone is, sir.

It's in the paper.

Did you leak it?

Sir, I consider that question offensive.

Answer it anyway.

How would I have even known about it, sir? You walked into my office while we

were discussing it, Lieutenant.

You still think that I set Colonel McKenzie up with that mishap

report? I think that you are ambitious, Lieutenant.

Sir, how could I profit from this?

It would be one less female officer between you and Glory.

It's amazing how little you know me, Commander.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment, sir.

Carry on.

Well, she didn't deny it.

Hey.

Uh -oh.

Bad day?

I'm sorry. I promised to make dinner, but my heart wasn't in it.

No problem.

We'll load her in.

This town is supposed to be the promised land for attorneys, Sarah.

Testament to that fact.

And I'm an ex -Australian naval officer with an accent.

Didn't prevent you from getting your last job.

Besides shipping and defense clients.

I was the right fit.

Give it time.

I'd like to get something locked in before we get married.

You will.

Turn around.

Sorry, I got a knot the size of a walnut.

You see the paper today?

Commander Pike.

Working in our office.

We had coffee together.

I was thinking why would Hollenbeck risk it?

Then I realized the way I pursued you could be considered sexual harassment.

It was completely different.

So you didn't touch me until I let you.

No.

I broke it down.

I was relentless.

I'd display my feathers. You'd say no.

I'd invite myself in. You'd say no.

There's no regulation against redundancy, Mick.

You wanted nothing to do with me.

Apparently I did.

Just watch where you put your hands.

I won't do it, sir.

Well, then you won't get your recommendation, Corporal.

Sir, this is not about the Major's rules. He's trying to demean me.

Why would he do that?

I am a woman in a fighting unit, sir.

The Major had to do a dance to get me in. Now I want out, and he is taking it

personally. Are you making an accusation against Major Bart?

Tell me what I think, sir.

Because the Major is asking you to photograph a private area of your body

can be construed as either gender discrimination or sexual harassment.

that what you're saying? And if so, which one is it?

I'm saying, sir, that you don't go through life looking like I do without

everything eventually getting down to one or the other.

How far do you want to take this, Corporal?

Sir, I want to do whatever's necessary to become an officer.

As long as I don't have to embarrass myself for the privilege.

Okay. How about this?

I'll help you file an Article 138 complaint of wrong.

Now, forget the sexual component for now, and we'll just concentrate on how

position is in compliance with Marine Corps regulations.

Who would judge the complaint, sir?

Commanding General of Quantico.

That would be Major General Claudia Hathcom, sir.

Admiral Hollenbeck is here to see you, sir.

Send him in.

Right through here, Edward.

Kurt.

Now, I realize that you have to remain neutral, so I will refrain from asking

any compromising questions.

Have a seat. Thanks.

It's a tough environment now, A .J.

It's a tail hook.

It's fostered a reaction that makes any kind of intergender contact suspect.

I had a terrific assistant when I was at Pearl, and the day she left, we threw

her a party.

And as she was leaving, I gave her a hug.

You could feel the energy in the whole room change. I looked around. Suddenly,

everyone is uncomfortable.

I was saying goodbye.

Admiral Paley is convening an Article 32 hearing.

He had to. The globe forced his hand.

I appreciate you delivering the news instead of the system.

Well, the statute of limitations is about to run out. It'll be a fast -track

case.

I'm going to fight this to the end, A .J.

Kurt, you will get a full and vigorous defense. I promise that.

I'll need a bulldog.

Understood.

You know, this could be worse.

I could have a wife.

A word, Commander?

Admiral. At ease.

Who told him, Kate?

Sir, this is inappropriate.

Was it you?

No, sir.

But I will be the prosecution's chief witness.

Reluctantly?

Yes.

Then we have something in common.

Whatever happens, please keep in mind we're not enemies.

We're victims of the same process.

I don't consider myself to be a victim, sir.

Still, you have to deal with this. I'm sorry for that.

Are you apologizing for the incident or its aftermath, sir?

Good luck.

You wanted to see us, sir?

Yes, this is concerning Admiral Hollenbeck's Article 32.

Commander, I want you to represent the government.

Yes, sir.

This man's a friend of mine.

I know that, sir. Don't let that influence you.

No, sir. Colonel, I'd like you to defend Admiral Hollenbeck. Sir, may I decline?

Why?

I had a conversation with Commander Pike prior to the announcement of the

proceedings.

And?

She revealed some things to me.

What kind of things?

The commander indicated prior relationships with senior officers.

Well, Colonel, there's no legal constraint. You can use the information

will. That's not the issue, sir. The male officers in question... Are

so nail them.

I know one of them, sir.

Oh.

I see. All right, I'll find someone else.

Sir, perhaps you should consider replacing me as well.

I'm sorry?

Complicating personal circumstances, Admiral.

When the hell did they get complicated?

Sir, Commander, these circumstances affect your ability to prosecute.

No, sir. Then we don't have a problem, that'll be all.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Admiral. Dismissed, Commander.

Aye, aye, sir.

Do you have a minute?

Sure.

I just want you to know that I really meant what I said about you and other

women.

Sometimes I think you're still reacting to the old me.

Where's this coming from?

Well, I'm really working on me. I'm working on myself. I'm trying to be

stronger.

Honey, I don't know anyone stronger than you.

Sometimes I feel like you can't be yourself around me.

And that's not fair to you.

It doesn't feel good to me.

Okay.

Okay.

So what did you think of Corporal Antoon?

She's pretty.

She's pretty.

Sexy. Sexy, yeah.

Harriet.

Come on, bud.

It's a test.

She makes my ears sweat.

Good. Good. That's a healthy response, see?

Can I go back to work now?

Absolutely.

Why is that, Commander?

I'm going to be defending Admiral Holland then. The lieutenant sitting

chair should be fascinating.

Have a party.

Now, Colonel, why'd you give it up?

Personal reasons.

What does that mean? Have you and Commander Pike become friends?

Good day, Counselor.

Lieutenant, you're good at digging up dirt.

I'm a good investigator, sir, if that's what you mean.

Commander Pike, from birth till yesterday.

Harm. Sorry.

No. Come on in.

Commander Pike.

This is Renee.

Hi. Hi.

And it's Kate.

Kate and I... Go back a ways.

Uh -huh.

I've heard nice things about you. From him? No, he never says anything nice.

good. I'm glad it's not just me.

Harm.

Mac? Kate?

Renee? Renee's leaving.

I'll see you tonight.

I'll do my best.

Did he ever stand you up?

When duty called.

Great excuse, isn't it?

Well, it was nice meeting you. You too.

Mac? Renee?

When they made you commander, they gave you a harem?

Kate. Yeah, I remember you standing me up.

I think it was against the wall of our motel room.

You want to discuss your testimony or you just want to make my life a living

hell?

Hmm.

Corporal. Yeah, Addies, have a seat.

Um, General Haskins' office called this morning.

The general wanted to get an answer to us as soon as they could, so as to meet

your application deadline.

She's rejected your Article 138 petition on grounds that she trusts your CO's

judgment. Sir, she's a woman. Doesn't she relate?

I think that's the problem.

I think she probably feels too close to the issue and doesn't want to appear

subjective.

Well, that's it then.

Corporal.

How badly do you want to be an officer?

Badly enough to swallow my pride, sir.

I will do the photo.

Thank you for your help, sir.

The photo should be authenticated.

Otherwise, the Major might not accept it.

Actually, sir, I was thinking of doing it myself, you know, like with a timer.

Then how would the Major know if it was your anatomy?

Good question, sir.

You could use one of those photo booths in the mall.

How would that work, sir?

Well, you get a series of four shots. The first would be your face.

Then you could take your pants down.

Or you could get yourself over to Sickbay, where I'm sure a female RN

happy to snap Polaroid.

Sir?

Captain Hollenbeck was heading up an amphibious ready group aboard the USS

Bladensburg. I was his staff judge advocate.

How did the captain treat you, Commander?

He seemed concerned with my welfare, often asking if I needed anything.

Did you ever receive gifts from the captain?

Twice.

A coffee pot and a jar of moisturizer.

He liked you.

Objection. Call for speculation.

Sustained.

Commander, would you describe for the court the event that took place July

1996?

We had just finished up a briefing on personnel matters.

That's it, sir.

Really?

That's a light month.

Testament your leadership, sir.

Lieutenant, are you flattering me?

Calling it as I see it, sir.

You are out of line.

I'm sorry.

Kate? Sir, please.

The less said, the better.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to move on, sir.

I suggest you consider yourself warned and do the same.

We were guarded with each other for the rest of my tour.

Your witness.

Commander, why didn't you come forward at the time?

I preferred to take care of the situation then and there.

You didn't consider it necessary, is that what you're saying? I believed I

done what was necessary.

Commander, have you ever had an affair with a senior officer?

Objection. Commander Pike is not on trial here, ma 'am.

Your Honor, Rule 608 allows us to question the witness regarding past

for the purpose of attacking credibility.

I'll allow it.

But tread carefully, Commander.

If you stray, you pay.

Yes, ma 'am.

Commander, do you know a JAG officer named Commander Dennis Brockman?

Yes. Did you work with him? It's actually irrelevant.

Overruled.

Did you work with him?

Yes. In Okinawa.

And at the time, were you a lieutenant?

Yes.

Did you have an affair with him?

Yes. Was that a wise thing to do?

It was a mistake.

So on the day of your briefing with Admiral Hollenbeck, were you looking to

relations with another senior officer?

Of course not.

Then couldn't that have affected your perception of what happened?

Let me help you, Commander.

Because you considered your prior sexual intimacy with the senior officer a

mistake.

You reacted strongly and swiftly to something that could have been very

different than you perceived it to be. No, that is not true.

Then why didn't you come forward?

I didn't perceive the event to warrant punitive action.

Precisely, Commander.

No more questions, ma 'am.

Redirect.

Commander, did you expect Captain Hollenbeck to touch you without your

permission? No.

Did Commander Brockman ever do this?

No. So there is no connection between what Captain Hollenbeck did and what

transpired between you and Commander Brockman?

No.

Thank you.

Commander, considering your past conduct, do you think you should be

these accusations?

Commander Pike has no comment at this time. Commander Pike, what was your

relationship?

You told them.

Excuse me? I saw you talking to the defense. You sold me out.

In what way? How else would they have known about my affair in Okinawa?

Kate, I declined to defend Admiral Hollenbeck, so I wouldn't be forced to

that information. Why would I slip it to someone else? One less woman standing

between you and what you want?

What do I want?

Harm. You're really reaching.

There's something going on between you two.

I'm engaged.

To the man of your dreams? That is none of your business.

You have a lot of nerve.

I wasn't with you five minutes before you were telling me your deepest

I couldn't be the only one who knows about Okinawa. You're indiscreet,

Commander. You have a big mouth.

So shut it.

Before you say something else I shouldn't hear.

Calm down. It's not that bad.

Harm. I admitted sexual relations with a senior officer.

How do you think that's going to play at my next promotion board?

Kate, it was five years ago. By the time you come up for promotion again, it'll

be ancient history. I got lucky once. It won't happen again.

What do you mean?

When I broke up with Commander Brockman, he trashed me in my fitness report.

After he forgave me, he told me that he'd done it in a moment of anger, but

then it was too late.

It's a matter of record.

So when you made the early selection list?

I was surprised.

What do you think happened?

I don't know.

You weren't curious as to how it got overlooked?

I was just thankful I made it through.

I was curious.

Wait a minute. You're accusing me of not questioning my good fortune?

Look. What would you have preferred that I do? Barge into Secnav's office and

demand that the board consider my unworthiness?

I would have made some inquiries. I didn't want to make inquiries.

I accepted my fate and assumed that my friends wouldn't question my success.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I just need to know that it's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.

Johnny. Sir.

What do you got for me? I've spoken to six women who served under Admiral

Hollenbeck, sir. If they're burying something, it's too deep for me to see.

Look, find out what you can about Commander Pike's promotion board.

It's privileged information, sir. Well, they would have released the names of

the members. They may lead us somewhere.

Aye, sir.

Admiral, would you please tell us what happened at the briefing between you and

Lieutenant Pike?

On July 11th of 1996?

The lieutenant was catching me up on some personnel matters.

That's it, sir.

Really? That's a light month.

Testimony to your leadership, sir.

Lieutenant, are you flattering me?

Calling it as I see it, sir.

You are out of line.

I'm sorry.

Kate.

Sir, please. The less said, the better.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to move on, sir.

I suggest you consider yourself warned and do the same.

Your hand slipped.

Yes, and because my weight was on it, I fell forward.

But the lieutenant perceived it otherwise.

That's correct.

Did you try to explain?

I started to, but the lieutenant cut me off, and when she suggested that we move

on... I chose not to say any more for fear of complicating things.

Thank you, sir.

You're a witness.

So this was an accident, Admiral, a mistake in perception.

That's right.

How did you proceed afterwards, sir?

Put her behind me.

You weren't concerned that Lieutenant Pike might bring us up at some later

No. I took her at her word.

Why did you promote her, sir?

I'm sorry?

Exhibit four, ma 'am.

The report from the fiscal year 1999 JAG Commander Selection Board selecting

Lieutenant Commander Kalen Pike for promotion assigned by Admiral

president of that board, who was sitting as the designated line member.

Objection. Relevance?

I intend to establish a link between this action and the incident, ma 'am.

Continue. Why was Lieutenant Commander Pike deep selected by the board,

Objection. The deliberations of selection boards are privileged.

Ma 'am, that privilege has been waived by the Secretary of the Navy at my

request because of the importance of these proceedings.

He has relieved the members from their oaths of confidentiality.

Overruled, Commander Mattoni.

Isn't it a fact, Admiral, that Lieutenant Commander Pike was a below

candidate? That she received your personal aggressive support during this

process, sir?

I felt she was deserving.

Did the junior members concur, Admiral?

They had some concerns. Did you review her fitness report, sir? Of course. Part

of the process.

Admiral, this is a report filed by Commander Dennis Brockman in 1995.

The commander was Lieutenant Pike's reporting senior at the time. Please

the highlighted portion, sir.

Lieutenant Pike continues to struggle with personal issues that threaten her

good judgment. I have serious questions about her future as a naval officer.

Thank you.

Give it six.

Why did you ignore these comments, Admiral?

One man's opinion does not a career make.

Isn't it because you assumed she would learn you were responsible for her

selection, sir?

I have given you my reason.

Didn't you want her to know that you had done her a favor, Admiral, so that she

would feel in your debt?

Weren't you placating her, sir, making none?

Objection, Your Honor. Or were you afraid that if you didn't promote her,

might use it against you?

at some critical moment in your career.

Argumentative and compound. Both beg the same question, Admiral. Your Honor. Why

would you care?

That's enough, Commander.

I have no further questions.

Major Bart.

Good morning, sir.

At ease, corporal.

My OCS app, sir.

Complete with a photo of the tattoo in question.

You never intended to look at it, did you, Major?

Do you believe you require special treatment, corporal?

Not anymore, sir.

And as an officer, I expect you won't ask for it.

Never, sir.

I'll forward your application this afternoon, along with my recommendation

approval.

We're all just Marines here.

I understand, sir. Thank you, sir.

No, Corporal, thank you.

For proving to be the person I fought to bring in this company.

I thank both counsel for their arguments.

Although the selection board is due, does raise questions about Admiral

Hollenbeck's objectivity, I find, based on insufficiency of the evidence, that

reasonable grounds do not exist to prove he sexually harassed Lieutenant Pike.

Accordingly, I will be recommending to the convening authority that the charges

not be referred to court -martial.

This hearing is adjourned.

You okay?

I see one of my head stops spinning.

Took a beating in there.

Sorry, I landed a few blows myself.

That was a good tactic, huh?

Well, it's any consolation the fact that you admitted your mistake speaks more

highly of you than it does of Admiral Hollenbeck.

Admiral, there'll be no trial, sir.

Signet just informed me that Admiral Hollenbeck's orders to be Inspector

have been cancelled.

Billet's going to someone else.

Promotion board matter too.

Excuse me. Specifically, why do you think the judge ruled in Admiral

Hollenbeck's face?

Curt, can I see you?

Well, there's your vindication, kid.

I'm not staying in Washington.

I know.

Thanks for this honor. It's not often I'm asked to make a toast.

Colonel Beck, a man once said that weddings are destiny, hangings are

He was an idiot.

The only gift greater than the air in your lungs is a hand you hold to

companionship.

Companionship. In the Australian Navy, these would be loggers.

Maybe that's why your ships run aground so often.

Gunny? Sir, I have no idea.

Right? Excuse me, Admiral. I just wanted to say goodbye.

Good luck to you, Commander.

Thank you, sir.

I hope there are no hard feelings, Commander.

It wasn't personal, ma 'am.

Then let me make it personal.

The difference between you and your client is that he never meant to hurt

He gets my forgiveness.

You get my contempt.

Colonel, it's been a rough week, Commander.

Let's leave it at that.

Well, don't worry about it. That was my fiancé, McRumby.

Congratulations.

I'm one lucky bloke, Commander.

Have a safe trip.

Renee. Kate.

Let me walk you to the door.

I'll be right back. Good, because I'll be right here.

She's actually a lot of fun.

I'm sure.

Well.

Well, stay in touch.

That was worth.

Sorry.

Would have been nice having you around.

Harm, the last thing you need is a third female to complicate your life.

Where do you get three?

Renee, me, and Matt.

I'm not involved with Mac.

Bye.

Thank you so much for coming.

Congratulations to you, too. This is exciting.

How's it going with the wedding plans? Do you guys have anything set?

A date?

Early. Very early.

Well, it's never early enough when two people are in love.
