The first thing you've got to learn about this ship is that she was DESIGNED by GENIUSES, to be RUN by IDIOTS! - Lt Keefer- the Caine mutiny

Ahh, but the strawberries! That's - that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with - geometric logic - that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist! And I'd have PRODUCED that key if they hadn't've pulled the Caine out of action! I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers - Cpt Queeg

He who would keep himself busy let him equip these two: a ship and a woman. For no two things involve more business once you start to fit them out, nor are these two ever sufficiently adorned, nor is any excess of adornment enough for them.

Please return to the boat before 2pm so we may begin our voyage home. For the sailors and soldiers among you, that's 1400. For you marines, that's when Mickey's left hand is on the 12 and his right is on the 2.
