A feisty young lady in red

pursued a sailor...

while another one...

seemed to pursue her.

(ALL SHOUTING)

Come on! come on!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.

Mess hall boy

knows about boxing.

They fighting!

Hey, y'all, they fighting!

That's not fair,

you can't hold that against me!

D'Antonio! D'Antonio!

There's a fight.

There's a fight.

There's a fight!

- Mike!

(MEN SHOUTING)

MAN:

Show him what for.

(CHATTERING)

Which one of you wants

to get sliced open first?

You really need that thing?

I'm flattered.

Three against five.

Little friend here makes it even.

Garrison.

Maybe we shouldn't.

Shut up!

Shut up, Quinn!

Back up, boys.

I said back up now!

All right.

Fair fight.

You and me.

You don't know nothing

about fair.

You ain't on a ship now,

peckerwood.

If they move, cut 'em.

If you don't, I cut you.

Oh, yeah!

Come on, come on.

Get up get up!

(CHATTERING)

SAILOR:
Garrison,

It's not worth it!

SAILOR #2:

Come on!

Yeah, knock him out, man!

Hey,

there's a fight down there!

(ALL CLAMORING)

(ALL SHOUTING)

I got the colored fella.

I got the colored.

- I got the colored.

- Get him, Garrison!

My money's

on the colored fella!

Soft face, boys!

SAILOR:

Cut it out!

Back off! Back off!

Huh? I told you.

It's not worth it!

- Get him!

- CLARA:

(POLICE WHISTLE BLOWING)

Break it up!

Stand down!

Stand down!

Hey, listen up, listen up!

Where you going

with my money...

Hey, hey, hey,

Were shipping out,

captain's orders, okay?

- (HORN HONKS)

- We need to get back to the ship.

- Mike!

- Clara!

Clara!

What happens between us

is between us.

Clara, let's go.

I am not my father.

- And you really mean that?

- Yes.

D'Antonio!

D'Antonio, we got to hoof it!

- All right!

- No, no. No!

This isn't how

it was supposed to...

- I love you!

- I love you, too!

Now, sailor!

- Clara, let's go.

- I'll be back!

For those of you who are new

to the Indianapolis,

I am your Captain.

Without me,

you are worthless.

You are my crew,

and without you,

I am worthless.

Our success,

our very survival...

is contingent upon

our functioning together

as one cohesive unit.

We have the complete

confidence and trust

of the commander-in-chief,

as well we should.

- Understood?

- ALL:
Yes, sir!

- Am I understood?

- ALL:
Yes, sir!

CHARLIE:
The Indianapolis

is a heavy cruiser

designed to take out

enemy ships and aircraft,

but our guns are useless

against submarines.

That's why normally,

we are sent out with an escort

of destroyers in front of us

that act as blockers.

Their job is to detect
