Welcome to Pearl, sir. I'm Lieutenant Commander Layton. I know who you are. Well, then...

Edwin Layton: Welcome to Pearl, sir. I'm Lieutenant Commander Layton.
Chester W. Nimitz: I know who you are.
Edwin Layton: Well, then you'll understand my request. I wish to be reassigned to a destroyer.
Chester W. Nimitz: Didn't you try to warn my predecessor about the impending attack?
Edwin Layton: Well, not exactly. I said that we had lost track of the enemy carriers and needed to be prepared. I should have pushed harder.
Chester W. Nimitz: A lesson, I assume, you have taken to heart.
Edwin Layton: Sir, I'm the intelligence officer responsible for overseeing the greatest intelligence failure in American history.
Chester W. Nimitz: Close the door.
[Layton closes the door]
Chester W. Nimitz: Morale is at an all time low, and for a good reason. The Japanese are advancing on all fronts at a terrifying pace. I, nevertheless, know the fighting spirit of our men. And I have faith in them. But I also need to know that they have faith in themselves. I need you to be my Admiral Yamamoto. Get in his head. Tell me what he's going to do next. Your first assignment... we need to throw a punch. Not just for morale, but so the Japanese know what it feels like to be hit. I'm sending Halsey to attack the Marshall Islands. But I need to know they're not walking into a trap
