Greenwald : Lieutenant, you are charged with relieving your captain willfully, without authority and without justifiable cause. Did you relieve Commander Queeg willfully?
Maryk : Yes, I knew what I was doing.
Greenwald : Did you relieve him without authority?
Maryk : No, my authority is Chapter 11 of Navy Regulations.
Greenwald : Did you relieve him without justifiable cause?
Maryk : No. My justifiable cause was the captain's mental breakdown at a time when the ship was in danger.
Greenwald : Thank you. No further questions.

Maryk : And what's the plan?
Greenwald : It will only confuse you.
Maryk : Listen, I can't be any more confused than I already am.
Greenwald : Steve, I would rather be prosecuting than defending you.
Maryk : Why?
Greenwald : Because I think you're guilty as hell.
Maryk : Well, maybe I should get another lawyer then.
Greenwald : Well, I'm not looking forward to twisting the Navy'arm.
Maryk : Why? What, are you scared of the brass?
Greenwald : Worse. Respectful.
Maryk : You know, sometimes I think the Navy's a master plan designed by geniuses for execution by idiots.
Greenwald : Where did you hear that?
Maryk : I couldn't have just made that up myself?
Greenwald : Could have made up the Gettysberg Address too. Where'd you hear it?
Maryk : That's one of Tom Keefer's wisecracks.
Greenwald : Thomas Keefer, your novelist friend.
Maryk : Yeah. He's got the sharpest mind on the ship.
Greenwald : He's sharp, all right.
Maryk : He knows everything Queeg did.
Greenwald : I'm sure he does.

Greenwald : So, I'm not gonna eat your dinner, drink your wine. I'll make my toast and go. So here's to you. Here's to Caine's favorite author. Here's to your book.
