Midway

Captain Garth:
Can I ask you something personal? Very personal?

Commander Rochefort:
Sure.

Captain Garth:
You know, it really stinks down here. How often do some of your people take a bath?

Commander Rochefort:
Bath? Hell, I don't know. What *day* is it?

Captain Garth:
How much can you decipher?

Commander Rochefort:
Fifteen percent.

Captain Garth:
Really decipher?

Commander Rochefort:
Ten percent.

Captain Garth:
That's one word in ten, Joe! You're guessing!

Commander Rochefort:
We like to call it "analysis."

RAdm. Tamon Yamaguchi:
Once, we filled the sky with our aircraft. Now we win or lose with six fighters and ten torpedo planes.

Vice Adm. Chuichi Nagumo:
They sacrifice themselves like Samurai, these Americans.

RAdm. Raymond A. Spruance:
If it's Midway, I'll bushwhack 'em!

Lt. Comm. Rochefort:
Three Jap carriers sunk, Admiral. Isn't that worth a "hot diggity damn"?

Admiral Nimitz:
I'll take it under advisement. There's still one enemy carrier out there somewhere.

Lt. Comm. Rochefort:
Admiral, we've already achieved a great victory. Shouldn't you call the carriers back to Pearl and out of harm's way?

Admiral Nimitz:
That would be the safe course. The only problem is, I want that last carrier.

RAdm. Raymond A. Spruance:
I just wanted to tell you, Bill; thanks for recommending me to Nimitz.

Vice Adm. William F. 'Bull' Halsey Jr.:
Listen Ray, you earned it. Any man who can keep his cruisers up with my carriers knows carrier tactics.

RAdm. Raymond A. Spruance:
I'm not sure I can do things the way you would.

Vice Adm. William F. 'Bull' Halsey Jr.:
Don't worry about what I would do. Your only job is to go to sea, find Yamamoto, and chew his *ass*!

RAdm. Frank J. 'Jack' Fletcher:
I'd give my pension to know what Nagumo is up to now.

Ens. Thomas Garth:
There's nothing to talk about, sir. You had your old pal Jessop ship me out before I could do something stupid; like trying to help the girl I love.

Captain Garth:
You better get your head out of your ass, Tiger, before some hot shot Jap pilot shoots you down.
