Lt. Keith: I made a mistake, but I don't see why I should be singled out for it. Everyone's goofed off around here. The Caine's a slack ship. The men act like a pack of cutthroats and the decks look like a Singapore junk.
Captain DeVriess: I take it then you must also strongly disapprove of me.
[Keith hesitates]
Captain DeVriess: Go ahead, Keith, man to man.
Lt. Keith: Sir, I'm in no position to approve or disapprove. I only know my conception of a captain seems different from your own.
Captain DeVriess: I'll take it under advisement. Since you feel so bitter, perhaps what's in the dispatch will brighten your day. As you can see, Keith, I'm being relieved of command. Next week this time, you'll have yourself a new captain: Lt. Cmdr. Philip Francis Queeg. Feel better?
Lt. Keith: Definitely, sir!
-
Doctor Dickson: If I may speak, sir, I would like to protest the counsel's twisting of words. There's a big difference between real mental illness and minor mental disturbances.
Barney Greenwald: Let me put it this way, doctor: could Captain Queeg have been disabled by the severe stain of command?
Doctor Dickson: That's absurdly hypothetical.
Barney Greenwald: Is it? Have you ever had any sea duty, doctor?
Doctor Dickson: No.
Barney Greenwald: Have you ever been at sea?
Doctor Dickson: No.
Barney Greenwald: How long have you been in the Navy?
Doctor Dickson: Five months.
Barney Greenwald: Have you ever had any dealings with ship's captains before this case?
Doctor Dickson: No.
Barney Greenwald: Then I suggest that you cannot set yourself up as an authority on the strain of command, and thus you may be completely wrong about Captain Queeg.
[to the prosecutor]
Barney Greenwald: Your witness.
