[Spruance is visiting Halsey in the hospital] RAdm. Raymond A. Spruance:
I just want to thank you for recommending me to take your task force to sea. Now I have a question for you- Did that *itch* go to your *head*? Vice Adm. William F. 'Bull' Halsey Jr.:
[amused]
Stop underestimating yourself, Ray. Any Skipper who could keep his cruisers and destroyers alongside of my carriers, from one end of the Pacific to the other, is *definitely* the man for the job. RAdm. Raymond A. Spruance:
You and I are uh- aw, Bill, we're kind of different! Do you think *I* can pull it off the same way *you* could have? Vice Adm. William F. 'Bull' Halsey Jr.:
[calmly]
I can only tell you this Ray- You play it the way you *feel* it, not the way you think *I'd* play it. You go to sea, you find Nagumo, and *chew his ass*! Now, that's all there is to it
