Lieut. Comdr. Martin J. Roberts : You know, the drill went much smoother today, Masterman. Nice shooting.
Lieut. Gregg Masterman : Not very exciting, sir. Like, uh, shooting clay pigeons.

Lieut. Gregg Masterman : The sooner the better, sir.

Ensign Lindsay : [exuberantly grabs and slaps Masterman on the back] We did it, sir! We did it! A destroyer, like the battleship!
