Captain of Mohican:
Mr. Haverstock, I want a talk with you.

Johnny Jones (Huntley Haverstock):
Yes sir?

Captain of Mohican:
I just found out you're a newspaperman.

Johnny Jones:
I guess that's right.

Captain of Mohican:
Oh, it is, eh? Why didn't you tell me that when I questioned you? You lied to me, sir!

Johnny Jones:
My dear captain, when you've been shot down in a British plane by a German destroyer, 300 miles off the coast of England (latitude 45), and have been hanging on to a half-submerged wing for hours, waiting to drown, with half a dozen other stricken human beings, you're liable to forget you're a newspaperman for a moment or two!
