Lt. Keith: Situation quiet; the Captain's been put away for the night.

Lt. Steve Maryk: [Grabbing a Bible] That's the straight dope!

Lt. Steve Maryk: Will you take our case?
Lt. Barney Greenwald: I'd much rather prosecute.
Lt. Steve Maryk: [disappointed] Well, I guess I can't blame you.
Lt. Barney Greenwald: [in a more friendly tone] I'll take your case.

Whittaker: Mr. Maryk, Mr. Kieth. The captain wants a meeting with all officers, right away.
Lt. Maryk: Now? At one o'clock in the morning?
Whittaker: Yes, sir.
Lt. Maryk: Do you know what it's about?
Whittaker: Yes, sir - strawberries.

Chief Budge: [Queeg is distracted while the Caine is turning] Hey, Meatball! Am I seein' things or are we about to run over our own tow line!
Meatball: That's crazy; we can't be... we are about to run over our own tow line! What are they doin' up there?

[Lt. Greenwald has just questioned Captain Queeg about the incident involving the yellow die marker]
Capt. Blakely: Mr. Greenwald, there can be no more serious charge against an officer than cowardice under fire.
Lt. Barney Greenwald: Sir, may I make one thing clear? It is not the defense's contention that Lieutenant Commander Queeg is a coward. Quite the contrary. The defense assumes that no man who rises to command a United States naval ship can possibly be a coward and that, therefore, if he commits questionable acts under fire, the explanation must be elsewhere.

[Regarding Captain Queeg]
Lt. Keith: Well, he's certainly Navy.
Lt. Keefer: Yeah... so was Captain Bligh.
