Commander Paul Eddington : Old Rock of Ages, we've got ourselves another war. A gut bustin', mother-lovin' Navy war.
-
Captain Rockwell Torrey : A fast ship going in harm's way - a lousy situation, Commander Eddington.
Commander Paul Eddington : Lousy!
-
Captain Paul Eddington : Lieutenant, I don't know the situation between you and your father, but let me tell you this: Bums like your friend Owynn are with us always, like bad weather. But sailors like your old man only happen once in a while
Ensign Jere Torrey : I'm afraid I cannot accept your evaluation of Commander Owynn.
Captain Paul Eddington : Well , I'm afraid I cannot accept you as Rock Torrey's son. I think somebody got in there ahead of him.
Ensign Jere Torrey : Now wait a minute, Eddington!
Captain Paul Eddington : *Captain* Eddington. Yes?

Col. Gregory : Sir, I can't put up all of my men unless we get at least five more transports.
Rear Admiral Rock Torrey : Well, aren't there any more R4D's on Tulabonne?
Col. Gregory : Yes, but they're held in reserve.
Captain Paul Eddington : Reserve! What... for?
Col. Gregory : That's the way Admiral Broderick has things organized.
Captain Paul Eddington : What happens if an R4D conks out?
Col. Gregory : Tulabonne sends us a spare until we get it fixed.
Captain Paul Eddington : Five of 'em just conked out, Gregg.
Commander Egan Powell : Let's relay the sad news to Broderick!
Rear Admiral Rock Torrey : Mr. Canfil, you seem to have fallen in among thieves!
Clayton Canfil, Australian Coastwatcher : It does seem so, Admiral, I'm very happy to say!

Commander Egan Powell : Gottlieb! Tuthill!
[as Gottlieb and Tuthill leave the washroom, Powell takes out a quarter, tosses it, and covers it on his arm]
Captain Paul Eddington : Heads.
Commander Egan Powell : [uncovers the quarter and inspects it, laughing] Good-bye, Commander! Enjoy it!
[Exit]
Cmdr. Neal Owynn : Now what do you suppose he meant by that?
Captain Paul Eddington : Well, aren't you going with Broderick?
Cmdr. Neal Owynn : Why, no, I...
Captain Paul Eddington : I think you are.
Cmdr. Neal Owynn : Now wait a m...
Captain Paul Eddington : [slaps Owynne backhanded] Now I don't care how you do it, but you'd better be on that plane with Broderick - unless you want to be buried on the island of Gavabutu.
Cmdr. Neal Owynn : You can't do that to m...
Captain Paul Eddington : [forehand slap] I *am* doing it. We've got a job here, and neither you nor Broderick nor anybody else is going to screw it up. Understand?
[Another forehand slap]
Captain Paul Eddington : Hmm? And take this punk with you.
[Exit]
Cmdr. Neal Owynn : I'll have him court-martialled - striking a fellow officer. And you saw it! I didn't hit him back.
[looks at his cut lip in a hand mirror]
Ensign Jere Torrey : I didn't see anything!
Cmdr. Neal Owynn : What do you mean, you didn't see anything?
Ensign Jere Torrey : As far as I'm concerned, a coconut fell through the roof and hit you in the mouth. So you better figure out some excuse to get us on that plane with Broderick.
Cmdr. Neal Owynn : How'd you like to be transferred back to PT Boats, fella? 'Cause one word from me to Broderick and you're on your way!
Ensign Jere Torrey : Say the word!
[exit, leaving Owynne to look at his cut lip again]

Captain Rockwell Torrey : If you can hold a razor in that hand, you might shave before you come topside.
Commander Paul Eddington : Aye, aye, Father Torrey.
-
Captain Paul Eddington : Egan, you just don't understand the love affairs between ships and sailors.

Captain Paul Eddington : [after identifying the Yamato] When this baby comes your way, look out!

Sailor : [as Eddington takes off on his recon flight] Sir! How shall I log this flight?
Captain Paul Eddington : Joy ride with the Chief of Staff!
