Sparks: How come they picked you?::Wolf: I don't know. Strong arm, strong back, weak mind!

Capt. Cassidy: There's lots of Mikes dying right now. And a lot more Mikes will die. Until we wipe out a system that puts daggers in the hands of five-year-old children.

Capt. Cassidy: I hear Japs are happy to die for their emperor. A lot of them are going to be made very happy.

Reserve Officer Raymond: [during a depth charge attack] Captain, I'm no good.::Capt. Cassidy: Why's that?::Reserve Officer Raymond: I'm scared stiff.::Capt. Cassidy: How do you think the rest of us feel?::Reserve Officer Raymond: You're not scared. I've looked at your faces.::Capt. Cassidy: I've looked at yours, too. It's the same as the others.::Reserve Officer Raymond: You're scared?::Capt. Cassidy: I'll say I am. And so is everybody else.

Sailor: Pills, do you think prayers do any good?::Pills: Yes, they do. I *know* they do.

Capt. Cassidy: [Tom Adams has just been chided for mistaking a common seabird for an incoming bomber while he was on lookout watch; this forced the 'Copperfin' to make a needless emergency dive] That's all right, son. I'd rather submerge for one hundred birds, than NOT submerge for one plane.::Tommy Adams: [Relieved] Thank you, sir.
