Lieut. Scott-Padget : [Scott-Padget turns back to the Captain as he begins to exit] You may have the power of life and death over every man about this ship, sir, but I warn you: if we come through this voyage safely...
Captain Crawford : [Crawford looks up from his work] Yes? If?
Lieut. Scott-Padget : To have followed Admiralty instructions may not be quite be enough.
Captain Crawford : [Crawford smacks his desk, jumps up and approaches Scott-Padget] I will say this to you only once, sir: I will not be bullied or threatened and I intend to be obeyed! Your friends in London mean nothing to me! I assure you that while you serve aboard this ship, they will mean absolutely nothing to you! You can go now.
