• Lt. Ellen Foster : You look lovely.

  Capt. Dan Craig : A marine's not supposed to look lovely.

  Lt. Ellen Foster : You do.

• Capt. Dan Craig : Don't like this... waiting.

  Lt. Tony 'Junior' Hewitt : No.

  [pauses] 

  Lt. Tony 'Junior' Hewitt : Funny thing.

  Capt. Dan Craig : What?

  Lt. Tony 'Junior' Hewitt : Waiting. You ever think you've spent a lot of your life waiting? Even when you're busy, you're still waiting.

  Capt. Dan Craig : For what?

  Lt. Tony 'Junior' Hewitt : Whatever you want next, I guess. When you're a kid, it's waiting till you can go to school. Then you wait till you can get out. You wait till you're a man, can be your own boss. You wait for some girl to get around to marrying you. You wait for a commission, then for a chance to get sent out.

  Capt. Dan Craig : Then you lie here and wait for Japs.

  Lt. Tony 'Junior' Hewitt : Nutty idea, I guess.

  Capt. Dan Craig : No.

  [pauses] 

  Capt. Dan Craig : No, I know what you mean. It's... it's the one thing that gets me, I don't like it.

  [Junior sighs]
