Operation Petticoat

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
I don't want to bore you with the problems of command Mr. Holdan, because I doubt you'll ever have one. It's inconsistent with that philosophy of yours - every man for himself.

Lt. Nicholas Holden:
Dog eat dog.

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
Exactly. The unfortunate thing about command though, Mr. Holdan, is that the responsibilities outweigh the privileges. Now if it was just myself I was concerned with I'd tell you what to do with that list. But my responsibility is this boat, and to get her out of here I'd even make a pact with the devil.

Lt. Nicholas Holden:
That's where I come in.

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
That's right.

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
Subject, Toilet paper. One, on 6 June 1941 this vessel submitted a requisition for 150 rolls of toilet paper. On 16 December 1941 the requisition was returned with stamped notation, 'Cannot identify material required.' Two, the commanding officer of the USS SeaTiger cannot help but wonder what is being used at the Caviti Supply Depot as a substitute for this unidentifiable material once so well known to this command.

Lt. Barbara Duran, RN:
Am I uh, going down right?

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
Is she going down right?

Lt. Watson:
She sure is.

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
When a girl is under 21 she's protected by law. When she's over 65 she's protected by nature. Anywhere in between, she's fair game. Look out.

Chief Mechanic's Mate Sam Tostin:
A woman just shouldn't mess around with a man's machinery.

Lt. Nicholas Holden:
Excuse me, sir, is this normal, or should I be nervous again?

Lt. Cmdr Matt T. Serman:
Sir, Sea Tiger was built to fight. She deserves a better epitaph than Commissioned 1940, sunk 1941, engagements none, shots fired none. Now, you can't let it go that way. That's like a beautiful woman dying an old maid, if you know what I mean by old maid.

Capt. J.B. Henderson:
Did you ever sell used cars?

lt. Cmdr. Matt T.Sherman:
No, Sir.

Capt. J.B. Henderson:
I've got a hunch you missed your calling.

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
Have you ever been to sea?

Lt. Nicholas Holden:
Yes, Sir. Destroyer duty.

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
How did you find time for it?

Lt. Nicholas Holden:
It was a mistake, Sir. About a week after I left Honolulu, they got it straightened out.

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
Who? The Admiral or the Admiral's wife? She must be awfully upset with you stranded out here. That will probably cost her the rumba championship this year!

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
We sunk a truck! Let's get the hell out of here!

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
We sunk a truck!

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
It's like watching a strip tease. Don't ask how it's done, just enjoy what's coming off.

Capt. J.B. Henderson:
Mr Sherman, I want my wall back!

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
I'm not sure that we have it, Sir!

Capt. J.B. Henderson:
You must have it! You've got everything else!

Lt. Nicholas Holden:
When I was a kid, people told me that money wasn't everything and I believed it. Then I found out that the people that were telling me that money wasn't everything were the people who had all the money. Now there are two ways you can get money. You can steal it, or you can marry it.

Lt. Nicholas Holden:
Let me go shopping sir and see what's left at the market.

Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman:
You Mr. Holden? You'd ruin your manicure.

Lt. Nicholas Holden:
Don't let the manicure fool you sir. I grew up in a neighborhood called Noah's Ark; If you didn't travel in pairs, you just didn't travel.
