Marine Maj. Coonan:
How far down does this ship go?
Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren:
Oh, she'll go all the way to the bottom if we don't stop her.
Chief Klough:
You're the skipper now. And the skipper always knows what to do whether he does or not.
Eddie:
It's the first time you ever seen a black man ain't it... get used to it.
[
During a depth charge attack]
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
Mister Hirsch, step away from that bulkhead. The shockwave from one of these explosions could snap your spine.
Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren:
If this mission goes south I will blow that boat right out of the water.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
What the hell are you doing, huh? This is NOT a God damn democracy!
Ens. Keith Larson, Chief Torpedoman:
They wouldn't give me five minutes to consumate my marriage. Five minutes!
Chief Klough:
Well, Mister Tyler, if you ever need a chief, I'll go to sea with you anytime.
Chief Klough:
What the hell are those yardbirds doing to my boat?
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
His body is gonna to save our lives.
Mrs. Dahlgren:
Where's your date, Andy? It's not like you to arrive stagged like this.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
I'm afraid I couldn't get one on such short notice ma'am.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
I didn't get my boat.
Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren:
I know.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
And with all due respect, sir, there's only one way that could've happened and that's if you withheld your recomendation.
Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren:
That's right. I just don't think your ready.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
What do you mean I'm not ready? Sir, I have worked my tail off on the S-33. I'm qualified in every area and then some. What executive officer has higher marks then I do, Captain?
Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren:
Andy! Your just not ready to take on a command of your own.
Chief Klough:
Those Krauts sure know how to build a boat.
Marine Maj. Coonan:
Who's the boarding party?
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
Well, since your the XO, you sir. Mr. Emmett, Mr. Larson, Mr. Hirsh and nine of your ships company. Captain, of course, will remain onboard the S-33.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
Mister, our boys are submarine sailors, not combat marines.
Marine Maj. Coonan:
Boys, onboard that U-boat are sailors, too. Your men will be ready, Lieutenant. I'll train them myself.
Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren:
Relax gentlemen. She's old... but she'll hold.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
He torpedoed me, Chief. Nine months aboard the S-33 doing the best job I know how. Doing everything once, and then doing it again just to make sure I didn't miss anything the first time.
Chief Klough:
You'll get your chance sir. There's other commands in the navy.
Seaman Bill Wentz, Radioman:
Mister Tyler, please... don't tell the other guys I'm half German. They'll hate me.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler:
Yeah, sure thing, Wentz.
