• Sailor : [Ensign Pulver is smuggling liquor aboard in a case marked "Brassieres"]  Are bras that heavy, Mister Pulver?

  Ens. Frank Pulver : Only when they're full.

• Captain Morton : [Having intercepted Ens. Pulver attempting to smuggle bottles of scotch on board]  I want the name of every man that ordered a bottle of that stuff.

  Ens. Frank Pulver : Nobody ordered it, sir. It's for me.

  Captain Morton : You was gonna' drink all of that yourself?

  Ens. Frank Pulver : Slowly.

  Captain Morton : This is a *Navy* ship, mister! Throw that dirty liquor overboard!

• Doc : [Ens. Pulver has been telling Doc about scaring the captain off the ship]  "Scare the captain off this ship"! Don't dream. Don't dream!

  Ens. Frank Pulver : Stop talking like somebody's father! What about you? You don't even dream!

  Doc : Touché, Frank. I'm a vegetable. Eggplants don't dream, do they?

  Doc : [mimicking a child's voice]  And what did you do in the Great War, daddy?

  Doc : [normal voice]  I sat on a ship, paralyzed, and watched men rot.

  Doc : I'm kaput. But you've got a potential. A destructive nature. And what do you do with it? Shoot flies with a piece of lead foil!

  Ens. Frank Pulver : A naval officer has to be an expert at ballistics.

• Ens. Frank Pulver : You mean after everything I've told you, you think I *could* be a doctor?

  Scotty : By rights, you should be a good one. You have more people to prove yourself to than anyone I ever heard of. You should cash in on that. My family's in business. They say the big trick is to turn liabilities into assets.
