06:24Uh, uh, sorry to hear that, Malumfrey, goodbye
06:27Malumfrey, what's the matter with the stern?
06:32The glue won't hold, the propeller keeps falling off

06:42It's not what you think here, you see
06:43We ran out of, uh, heaven
06:47Wait a minute, Malumfrey's problem with the stern
06:48Malumfrey
06:50Is this a stern you're having a problem with?
07:02Yes, sir
07:02Why are you building a model?
07:04It's, uh, a hobby
07:05It's a hobby
07:06That's right, that's right
07:08He likes to build little, uh, little model ships and bottles
07:11I don't see any bottles
07:13He hasn't built it yet
07:15And now for your last question, Mr. Holden
07:18Before we go on to the next contestant
07:19Ah, it's a, it's a present, Captain
07:22You see, we were, we were planning on having a birthday party for Lieutenant Duran
07:26And we do all hope you can attend
07:27Well, I appreciate the thought, Mr. Holden
07:30But this is not the time for a birthday party
07:32Let's get the marauder
07:33And then we can have a double celebration
07:35Now, Malumfrey
07:37I would like you to grease the periscope at your next opportunity
07:40Let me tell you something
07:41This is your next opportunity
07:42Yes, sir

07:50Skipper, come on
07:51Now, this just isn't any birthday, you know
07:53Barbara's turning 21
07:54And I'm turning gray
07:55Which is more than I can say for my boat
07:57Come on, Captain
07:58Don't you remember when you turned 21?
08:01I'll never forget it
08:03I was at the academy at the time
08:0421 midshipmen lined up around my cake
08:07To blow out the candles in unison
08:08I'll never forget what happened
08:11What, what?
08:11They blew out the cake instead
08:13All right, Lieutenant
08:18You can have your party
08:19Oh, thank you, Captain
08:20And I promise you
08:21It won't affect you or your boat in any way
08:24I'll give you 21 minutes
08:26To celebrate Lieutenant Duran's 21 years
08:28And then I don't want to hear another word about birthdays
08:29Coffee, Galago
08:32Don't bounce, sir
08:33I have the cake in the oven
08:35Oh, I love it
08:42I just love it
08:44I hope you don't have one like it already
08:46Lieutenant, you better blow out the candles before
08:49Yeah, before it gets scorched in the top as well as the bottom
08:52Oh, don't forget to make a wish
08:55Major, do you remember your 21st birthday?
08:58Oh, of course I do
08:59I was 19 at the time
09:00Okay, I've got my wish now
09:03I'm going to need a little help here
09:04All right, all those who want cake, line up
09:14Yes, sir
09:14Excuse me
09:15Behind me, Dulee
09:17Ramon Cutaway
09:19Hey, I just want to say thank you, everybody
09:20That was really nice
09:21And especially you and Glew
09:23Thank you
09:23Thank you
09:24And you
09:25Oh, and thank you for turning 21 and legalizing all our thoughts
09:30Here you are
09:31Thank you
09:32Here
09:33Oh, no, no, Barbara
09:35You're supposed to have the first piece
09:37Oh, no, I'm too excited to eat
09:38Well, if you don't want it, it's a shame to let it go to waste
09:42Marta, I've seen a lot of bad cakes, but this one takes the cake
09:45I'll go get my shotgun and put it out of its misery
09:49Now, don't lose your confidence, Gallardo
09:51You're a marvelous cook, it's a terrific cake, and I love it
09:54Yeah, but none of the nurses are eating any either
09:57Well, somebody's got to stick around and take care of those who do
10:00I'll show you
10:04After the war, I'm going to have a restaurant in Manila
10:07Too bad you don't have one now in Tokyo
10:09We'd win the war
10:11You did this to me
10:13Oh, Gallardo, they're just envious of your talent
10:15Then why don't you have a piece, Lieutenant?
10:18I'm not envious of your talent
10:20I'm not a piece of cake
10:23What?
10:24For the captain
10:25For the captain
10:26That's right
10:27We better relieve the guys on duty so they can get a piece of cake
10:30Okay
10:30Right
10:30Yeah
10:31Why should they get off easy?
10:34I'd stand a piece
10:35Thank you
10:36Up, let's go
10:37Yes, sir
10:38Up
10:39Yes, sir
10:41Up, let's go
10:42Downscope
10:45Aye, sir
10:46Hello, Williams
10:48We'll upscope it ourselves
10:49Come on
10:50We're going to do it
10:52We're going to do it, sir
10:52We're going to do it, sir
10:53We're going to do it, sir
10:55We're not going to do it
10:55Okay, Williams
10:57Go down and get your cake
10:58And we'll ever leave you
10:59How is it, Bruce?
11:00I've tasted better
11:01Better, maybe
11:02But not more
11:03Captain
11:04I got your piece of cake
11:05No, thanks, Chief
11:06Not now, later
11:07Well, if you don't want to eat it
11:08I know somebody who will
11:09Wait a minute, Chief
11:10This periscope won't go up
11:11And it won't go down
11:12It's stuck, sir
11:13Thanks, Chief
11:14Page to call in an expert
11:15You think it needs more grease, Chief?
11:17More grease?
11:19Look at that
11:20Grease it again
11:21I'll grease it again
11:22With Lieutenant Duran's
11:24Birthday party behind us
11:25We continued our search
11:27For the super-enemy
11:28Battleship
11:28The Maradaki
11:29Excuse me, sir
11:31Permission to be relieved
11:32I'll be right back
11:33Permission granted
11:35Engine room
11:40All ahead, full
11:41Engine room
11:43All ahead, full
11:44Speaking of the head, sir
11:46Permission to be relieved
11:48Permission granted
11:50Sir, he's the third man
11:56To walk away from his post
11:57Walk, Mr. Watson
11:58He appears to be running
11:59Hope it's not
12:01But I hope it's not
12:02Major
12:07I haven't seen this much running
12:10Since the Boston Marathon
12:11Is it what I think it is?
12:13Yes, sir
12:14If you had paid toilets
12:16On the Sea Tiger
12:16You'd be a millionaire
12:17How'd it happen?
12:19I think it was the
12:21Whipped cream
12:21On the birthday cake
12:22I should have known
12:23I couldn't make my cake
12:24And eat it, too
12:24But then your nurses
12:26Aren't affected
12:26Thank goodness
12:27We were all on diet, sir
12:28Uh-huh
12:29What's that stuff
12:30You're giving a man?
12:31It's paracordic, sir
12:32It'll help
12:33Good, good
12:33Yeah, they'll be fine
12:34In about four or five hours
12:35What?
12:36It's a relaxant
12:37They're gonna have to
12:38Sleep it off
12:38Four or five hours
12:39How's everything going?
12:42What I'd like to have going
12:43Lieutenant, it's you
12:44Off this boat
12:45Look what you've done
12:46You've hit the Sea Tiger
12:46Right in the gut
12:47Sir, I picked him up, sir
12:48I think it's the Maradaki
12:49She's 16 miles away
12:50We can go after her
12:51Good
12:55Let's hope they have
12:56A lot of bathrooms
12:57Forgive me if I misquote you, Mr. Holden
13:03But you did say, did you not
13:04That this birthday party
13:05Would in no way
13:05Interfere with the operation of my boat
13:07You've got total recall, Captain
13:09Chief, do you have a body count?
13:10Yes, sir
13:10Ten standing and twenty sitting
13:12How do you expect me to go after the Marauder
13:14With ten men to operate my boat?
13:16Make that nine, sir
13:17Well, we're gonna have to give up the mission
13:20We're gonna have to turn around
13:21Captain, I realize I may risk
13:24Any little bit of popularity
13:25I still have with you
13:26But it takes more than ten men
13:28To turn this boat around
13:29I know that, Mr. Holden
13:30What do you want me to do?
13:31Put up a help wanted sign
13:32In the middle of the Pacific?
13:33You don't have to, sir
13:34We'll help
13:35What?
13:35We would like to fill in
13:36For the men who are incapacitated
13:38Oh, that's impossible
13:39Sir, Lieutenant Colfax
13:40Is running the infirmary
13:41And the rest of us are free
13:43To release any of the men you choose
13:45For the more complicated jobs
13:46Thank you, Major
13:47But, uh, I don't know
13:49Captain, may I put it another way?
13:51We don't have any choice
13:52Sir, if the nurses take over this boat
13:57I want it officially recorded
13:59But I have no part in any of this
14:01Claire, this is the sonar equipment
14:06Now, to put it in terms
14:09That are a little more familiar to you
14:10It's the stethoscope of the sea
14:12Did you make that up?
14:14I hope not
14:15Now, these look like earphones
14:18But they're called hydrophones
14:19What?
14:21Hey, when I want you to ask a question
14:22I'll tell you, all right?
14:25They enable you to hear everything under the water
14:27Oh
14:27Hydro means water
14:29Hydro
14:29Hydrophones
14:30Yeah
14:30Okay, put them on
14:32Here we go
14:34Now, what do you hear?
14:37Now, what do you hear?
14:37What?
14:38No, Claire
14:39Here
14:40Claire
14:40Keep them partially over your ears
14:42So you can hear me
14:43As well as what's going on out there
14:45Okay
14:45Now
14:47If you hear a little squeak
14:49Don't worry about it
14:51It's just a small school of fish
14:52Don't worry
14:52If you hear a whirr
14:54That's our propellers
14:56Or as we call them in the Navy
14:57Our screws
14:58Now, if you hear a sound
15:00Like an egg beater
15:01Now, that's a ship
15:03Larger than ours
15:04And in all probability
15:05The Maradaki
15:06Now, Claire
15:07If you hear our screws
15:09And their egg beater
15:10At the same time
15:11You gotta come up
15:12And tell us immediately
15:13Otherwise
15:13We'll have a screwed up egg beater
15:14You understand?
15:17Now, do you have any questions?
15:19Just two
15:20What?
15:21This is a very responsible job, isn't it?
15:23Yes
15:24It's a matter of life and death
15:25What's the other question?
15:26Could I do something else?
15:31Dolores
15:32You are my talker
15:33Everything I say
15:34You say into this
15:36Right after I say it
15:37You are my contact
15:39With everyone on board this boat
15:41You repeat everything I say
15:43Understand?
15:44Understand
15:44Good
15:45Good
15:46Not now
15:46Not now
15:47That's enough
15:47That's enough
15:48Stop
15:49Not everything is to be repeated
15:53Not everything is to be repeated
15:54Right
15:55Right
15:55Captain
15:57How are we gonna get out of this?
15:59How are we gonna get out of this?
16:02Being the bright women they are
16:04The nurses adapted well
16:06To their new routine
16:07Lieutenant Colfax
16:08Didn't have time to adapt
16:10She was too busy
16:11Setting a new record
16:12For the 100-yard submarine dash
16:14Captain
16:16What?
16:17I think I hear an egg beater
16:18What?
16:19But don't worry, sir
16:20The decibel level
16:21Is lower than the word
16:22What?
16:24That's the way
16:25Lieutenant Holden
16:25Explained it to me
16:26Would you explain it to me
16:27In another way?
16:28Yes, sir
16:28I keep hearing
16:29You're right, Lieutenant
16:40It's the Maradaki
16:43It's the Maradaki
16:43All ahead fool
16:46All ahead fool
16:48Well, you heard it, Captain
16:50All ahead fool
16:51Kick in the auxiliary power
16:53I can't
16:55If it overloads
16:55It'll short out
16:56Don't tell me how to run my boat
16:58Just do what I tell you to do
17:00All of our cram-headed
17:13Barnacle-brained women
17:14Now what did you do?
17:16Something really stupid
17:17I listened to you
17:19What was that?
17:20It's my fault, sir
17:24I overloaded the port batteries
17:25I'll jury-rig it
17:27And have it fixed in a second
17:28All right, Major
17:30Hold her steady, Williams
17:31I'm not going to have any problem
17:32With the boat, sir
17:33It's me I'm worried about
17:34Why did you take the blame for it?
17:38It was my fault
17:39Because I'm a clam-headed
17:41Barnacle-brained woman
17:42And I figure you've got
17:43Enough problems at the moment
17:44You're a good woman, Edna Hayward
17:47You're damn right, Sam Tostin
17:50Let's open the lamp
17:56And remember to grease this
17:57Up, Scope
17:58He did
18:04Down, Scope
18:06Up, Scope
18:14Gotcha
18:19It's the Marataki
18:22She's coming right down our throats
18:24Helm, left full rudder
18:28Sir, Lieutenant Holden
18:29Just dragged the helm to sick bay
18:31Well, do you want the scope up or down, sir?
18:34Down
18:35Lieutenant Reed, forget the sonar
18:37Get on the helm
18:38Yes, sir
18:3930 degrees, Starbird
18:40Sir, we don't have time
18:41It's all navy
18:41Is that left or right?
18:42That's right, right, right
18:43That's 30 degrees
18:44Contact the torpedo room
18:45Torpedo room
18:47Torpedo room
18:49What?
18:49Come on
18:49They're not home, sir
18:50Lieutenant Holden
18:52Get somebody into the torpedo room
18:53Isn't there anybody we can wake up?
18:57Maybe with a cannon
18:58Oh, that might happen in a few minutes
18:59Come with me
19:00If anybody's in the torpedo room
19:04Please answer
19:06All right, hold that course
19:08I want to get another visual sighting
19:10Yes
19:10Up, scope
19:15Up, up, up, scope
19:18Down, scope
19:24Down, scope
19:25Down, scope
19:30Down, scope
19:30Where's the captain?
19:45Maradocchi's less than 2,000 yards away
19:46Lieutenant Holden
19:47The control room is yours
19:48Okay
19:49What'd you put in the torpedo room?
19:50Lieutenant Colfax
19:51Rigged Lieutenant Colfax for firing
19:53Sir, give her a chance
19:54She just got started
19:55She's new at the job
19:56It's just the torpedo
19:57We're firing
19:57Oh, prepare for firing
19:59In less than 30 seconds
20:02We'll know
20:02Whether we'll be splashed
20:04All over the front page
20:05Of tomorrow's newspaper
20:06Or just splashed
20:07All over the Pacific
20:08Good luck, sir
20:09You too, Lieutenant
20:12Let's go
