Captain Queeg:
[after bawling out Ensign Keith]
Willie? Lt. Keith:
Sir? Captain Queeg:
You look worried. Oh, I know that a man's shirt is a petty detail, but big things are made up of details. Don't forget: for want of a nail a horseshoe was lost, then the whole battle. A captain's job is a lonely one. He's easily misunderstood. Forget that I bawled you out. It was for the good of morale of all concerned. Okay? Lt. Keith:
[cheering up]
Yes, sir
