Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N:
This ship is getting slack, Mr. Gerard. It's taking you longer every day to clear for action.
2nd Lt. Gerard:
The hands are weak, sir, and...
Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N:
And what?
2nd Lt. Gerard:
Restless, sir. After all, sir, seven months without sighting land.
Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N:
No excuse. You ought to control them...
Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N:
...An officer who cannot control his men is not reliable.
2nd Lt. Gerard:
Yes, sir. Excuse me, sir, that was "Land ho."
Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N:
I have ears, Mr. Gerard.
2nd Lt. Gerard:
I thought you might be interested, sir.
Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N:
It took you eleven minutes and twenty seconds to clear for action the other day. I want it done in ten. Now!
2nd Lt. Gerard:
Now, sir?
Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N:
You seem to have your mind on something else - I said, "Now!"
