Commander Egan Powell : Gottlieb! Tuthill!
[as Gottlieb and Tuthill leave the washroom, Powell takes out a quarter, tosses it, and covers it on his arm]
Captain Paul Eddington : Heads.
Commander Egan Powell : [uncovers the quarter and inspects it, laughing] Good-bye, Commander! Enjoy it!
[Exit]
Cmdr. Neal Owynn : Now what do you suppose he meant by that?
Captain Paul Eddington : Well, aren't you going with Broderick?
Cmdr. Neal Owynn : Why, no, I...
Captain Paul Eddington : I think you are.

Captain Paul Eddington : [slaps Owynne backhanded] Now I don't care how you do it, but you'd better be on that plane with Broderick - unless you want to be buried on the island of Gavabutu.

Cmdr. Neal Owynn : I'll have him court-martialled - striking a fellow officer. And you saw it! I didn't hit him back.
[looks at his cut lip in a hand mirror]
Ensign Jere Torrey : I didn't see anything!
Cmdr. Neal Owynn : What do you mean, you didn't see anything?

Cmdr. Neal Owynn : How'd you like to be transferred back to PT Boats, fella? 'Cause one word from me to Broderick and you're on your way!
Ensign Jere Torrey : Say the word!
[exit, leaving Owynne to look at his cut lip again]
