Chief Engineer : [the engine has seized due to lack of oil] I told you this would happen DAYS AGO, and you wouldn't listen!
Paul Devereaux : The engine is YOURS! You're supposed to keep it running no matter what! Now you get us *flashed up and moving* before a U-Boat *punches our ticket*!
[Chief Engineer leaves]
Paul Devereaux : [to Pooley, in the sonar room] Anything, Mr. Pooley?
