Johnnie Pulaski : If a torpedo ever connected with this ship, we'd go up like a match connected to cellophane. You ain't got a chance!
Boats O'Hara : [Repeating] You ain't got a chance.
Johnnie Pulaski : And "Boom!" You're in the hero department!
Boats O'Hara : Yeah.
Johnnie Pulaski : Just like that and the next thing you know, you're pickin' a milky way outta your ears.
Whitey Lara : Okay, okay, so what?
Johnnie Pulaski : Whatta ya mean, "Okay?"
Chips Abrams : Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I think you got the wromg angle. The way I see it if your ship's number is up, you're gonna get it.
Whitey Lara : Yeah, and suppose my number ain't up?
Chips Abrams : Then, brother, the torpedoes can connect right where yer sittin' and still nuthin' will happen.
Boats O'Hara : Well, I want no torpedoes where I'm sittin'. I'm a sensitive man, I am.
Johnnie Pulaski : [to Chips] Whatta you know about it? You carpenters got sawdust for brains!
Chips Abrams : Listen, I was shippin' out when your buttons was safety pins. I was in a tanker in the last war. I got torpedoed so much, I got water on the knee.
