Admiral Wendel, in the Merchant Navy the captain chooses his own crew.
Captain Mueller:
[Glaring at Kruse]
What are you doing here?
Captain Mueller:
[Pulls a list of names out of his pocket]
I'll be damned if I'll ship with these! Two murderers. Two more, "Assault with deadly weapons." This one... "Theft of government property."
Admiral:
Another, an outright political enemy. It's also a good way to send these bastards to Germany, for the punishment they deserve.
Captain Mueller:
I'm sorry, I cannot accept them.
Kruse:
But they are only a handful, Captain...
Captain Mueller:
l don't want a handful of maggots in my soup!
Transcript
00:00:02.535 --> 00:00:04.495
Ask Capt Mueller to come in.
00:00:04.578 --> 00:00:08.791
Adm Wendel, in the Merchant Navy,
the captain chooses his own crew.
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.071
What are you doing here?
00:00:10.835 --> 00:00:14.213
I'll be damned if I'll ship with these.
Two murderers.
00:00:14.672 --> 00:00:16.799
Two more, "assault with deadly weapons".
00:00:16.882 --> 00:00:20.052
This one, "theft of government property".
00:00:20.136 --> 00:00:22.346
Another,
an outright political enemy.
00:00:22.847 --> 00:00:24.932
It's also a good way
to return these bastards...
00:00:25.998 --> 00:00:26.976
to Germany for the punishment
they deserve.
00:00:27.001 --> 00:00:29.061
I'm sorry, I cannot accept them.
00:00:29.145 --> 00:00:30.688
But they're only a handful, Captain...
00:00:30.771 --> 00:00:33.691
I don't want a handful of maggots
in my soup!
00:00:34.001 --> 00:00:37.153
Now, we've given you
every reliable man we could find.
00:00:37.361 --> 00:00:41.407
And must I remind you, Capt Mueller,
that you can't afford to protest?
00:00:45.202 --> 00:00:47.788
Mr Kruse, would you leave
the two of us alone?
00:00:47.872 --> 00:00:49.079
Stand right there, Mr Kruse.
00:00:50.075 --> 00:00:53.586
Adm Wendel is about
to say that my last ship...
00:00:53.669 --> 00:00:55.546
was torpedoed in the Indian Ocean.
00:00:55.629 --> 00:00:58.507
- Well, that's common knowledge...
- But at the time of the attack...
00:00:58.591 --> 00:01:00.999
I had a skinful of rum.
00:01:01.969 --> 00:01:04.001
Capt Mueller reports that he stood on
the bridge for three days...
00:01:05.996 --> 00:01:06.474
with a festering jaw.
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:10.999
It was lanced.
Drugs were administered. No avail.
00:01:11.007 --> 00:01:13.001
Therefore, Capt Mueller tried liquor.
00:01:13.001 --> 00:01:15.001
It is said to have afforded him some relief.
00:01:15.858 --> 00:01:18.011
The torpedo didn't know
I had been drinking.
00:01:18.194 --> 00:01:20.993
We cannot interview that torpedo!
00:01:20.154 --> 00:01:23.449
Be satisfied that the Admiralty
retains confidence in you.
