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.

Capt. George Brackett : What's the matter, Bill?
Cmdr. Bill Harbison : Nothing - -evidently!
[He bursts out laughing]

Nellie : No sir.
