- CPO Andy Cyphers: [Looking at Suzuki's translation book] Japanese for Beginners? You mean to say you're my interpreter?
- Suzuki: I'm sorry, chief, but I don't speak any Japanese.
- CPO Andy Cyphers: You're kidding.
- Suzuki: Well, my folks were born there, but they moved to California and the family only speaks English. But, I majored in dead languages and if he'd ask me something in Latin or...
- [unintelligible]
- CPO Andy Cyphers: Uh, commander, sir. You know what I have just done? I have just thought of the greatest name for this project.
- Commander: Name?
- CPO Andy Cyphers: Yes, sir, it's "Operation Super Stork."
- [Mumbling to Murray Prince]
- CPO Andy Cyphers: Super Stork - didn't he catch it?
- CPO Andy Cyphers: You know, Mr. Endo here, is Japan's most famous movie producer.
- Mr. Endo: Ohhh... I not the most famous, just one of top two.
- CPO Andy Cyphers: Oh, that's great. Now I need an interpreter for my interpreter.
- Suzuki: Sorry, chief, but they didn't tell me I'd have to speak Japanese.
- John McIntosh, Press Correspondent: There's gotta be something phony about this. I've known Andy Cyphers for years, and he's never been mixed up with anything legitimate.
- Press Correspondent: Oh, you wouldn't know a good story, McIntosh.
- John McIntosh: Well, I know Cyphers, and I'll believe it when I see the orphans.
- Mrs. Bennett: [the admiral's wife, to Cypher's] There, there, compose yourself, my dear.
- [Turning to the press corps]
- Mrs. Bennett: He's just so full of it.
- Commander: Cyphers, I may be very wrong about this, but I sense something unusual about this "orphanage." Now, for my report to the admiral - how many orphans do you say you have?
- Commander: Cyphers?
- CPO Andy Cyphers: Yes, sir?
- Commander: You haven't heard the end of this. You're heading for stripes.
- CPO Andy Cyphers: On the sleeve?
- Chiyoko: [to her Geisha trainees in Japanese, when Suzuki poses as a petty officer] If he's an American officer, Japan wouldn't have lost the war.
