'Pop' Perry : Take her down!

Lt. Mary Stuart : What's the matter cupid? I saw your wire.
'Pop' Perry : Have you been seeing a lot of Bob?
Lt. Mary Stuart : Yes.
'Pop' Perry : Should we level with each other, like always?
Lt. Mary Stuart : Like always.
'Pop' Perry : I think you and Duke belong together. I don't know what's been keeping you apart, but I'd hate to think you were using my kid brother to solve your problem.
Lt. Mary Stuart : Aww Pop, why didn't I meet you first?

Cmdr. John T. 'Pop' Perry : [Duke is reminiscing about his failed marriage] It takes more than that to cause a split-up. When a gal like Mary Stuart marries into the Navy, she signs on for that stuff.
Lt Cmdr. Duke E. Gifford : Not for what I dished out. The 'eager beaver'. I was at sea on a volunteer mission, making test runs with that new sonar equipment when my son was born. Five weeks later, I was down 240 feet, trying to get a line around the Squalus when he died.
[pauses and nods at Pop]
Lt Cmdr. Duke E. Gifford : Like you say, some things kind of crowd a man.
