Quotes 

  • Bloody Mary : [the ancient Mary is looking him up and down]  Lieu-tellen, you sexy man.

    Lt. Cable : Thanks... You're looking pretty... er, fit yourself.

  • Lt. Cable : [Cable has been told that Nellie is in love with Emile]  That's hard to believe, sir; they tell me he's a middle-aged man.

    Capt. George Brackett : [fuming]  Cable, it is a common mistake for boys of your age and athletic ability to underestimate men who have reached their maturity. Young women frequently find older men attractive, strange as it may seem. I myself am over fifty. I am a bachelor. And Cable, I do not, by any means, consider myself th-r-rough.

    [to Harbison, who is trying not to laugh] 

    Capt. George Brackett : What's the matter, Bill?

    Cmdr. Bill Harbison : Nothing - -evidently!

    [He bursts out laughing] 

  • Nellie : Do you get letters from your mother telling you that everything you do is wrong?

    Lt. Cable : No. My mother thinks everything I do is right. Of course, I don't tell her everything I do.

  • Nellie : Mother says older men are better for a girl than young men.

    Lt. Cable : This has been a discovering day for me.

  • Lt. Buzz Adams : You gotta do something to break the monotony out here, Lieutenant. You know, if this war ever really gets started ...

    Lt. Cable : [as if he knew something that Buzz Adams does not]  It'll get started.

    Lt. Buzz Adams : [taken by surprise]  Sure - sure, it'll get started.

  • Lt. Cable : He's kept a few secrets from her, hasn't he?

    Capt. George Brackett : Well, you don't spring a couple of Polynesian kids on a woman right off the bat.

  • Cmdr. Bill Harbison : I'm afraid we aren't going to get much out of her. She's obviously in love with him.

    Lt. Cable : Oh, that's hard to believe, sir. They tell me he's a middle-aged man.

  • Emile de Becque : What makes her talk like that - you and she? I do not believe it is born in you! I do not believe it!

    Lt. Cable : It's not born in you - it happens after you're born!
