[Diver School CO Mr Pappy summons Chief Sunday]

Mr. Pappy:
Did you know that ordinary house dust is composed primarily of human skin?

Billy Sunday:
No sir, I didn't know that.

Mr. Pappy:
Makes you think twice about who you invite into your home. [sniffs] Two tablespoons of machine oil can contaminate an entire ship's fresh water supply. Some things just don't mix. Do they, Chief?

Sunday:
He's gonna pass. Yesterday, he scored a 94 on his final. Sir, he don't have to be that fast tomorrow. All he's got to do is complete the exercise.

Mr. Pappy:
Billy... there may come a day when a colored diver graduates from this school, but it won't be tomorrow or as long as I'm here. You agree with me, of course. Don't you, Chief?

Sunday:
Yes, sir.
