Down Periscope1996

Winslow:
Welcome back, Captain. You certainly pushed my order to the breaking point.

Dodge:
Thank you, sir. I mean, if that's a compliment.

Winslow:
However, under the circumstances, I will not be able to give you your own Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine.

Dodge:
Yes, sir.

Winslow:
Instead, you will be given a new Seawolf-class nuclear submarine and will attend its launching on Friday! And this time, you'll be given a proper crew, one commensurate with your tactical and leadership abilities.

Dodge:
Thank you, sir, but I'd have to decline.

Winslow:
Decline?

Dodge:
I would not be in line for such a promotion without the help of my present crew. I could not in good conscience accept another command without them.

Winslow:
Still setting terms, huh, Dodge?

Dodge:
Just respectfully requesting, sir.

Winslow:
Well, at least you got my son to face forward.

Dodge:
Your son? Stepanak, sir?

Winslow:
Yes. It's his mother's name. His salute still leaves something to be desired.

Dodge:
We'll work on that, sir.

Winslow:
You do that, Commander. [Salutes]
