Hey, Commander.
[Charlie grunts]
Old Sailor: You see that little kid on the floor?
[Charlie grunts]
Old Sailor: Well him and me have been stoned for two days! We started out with three bottles of vanilla extract. Then we got in with some submarine fellas and we finished off a number 10 can of topedo alcohol. You gotta be pretty stoned after that, right?
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: I would think so.
Old Sailor: Well, Commander, we ain't that stoned. We're not that stoned if we're gonna go out onto that beach and take pictures of the dead bodies floating in with no film in the camera!
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: Well then, what'd ya say we don't make this movie? Huh!
Old Sailor: Hey, that's swell!

Old Sailor:
Oh, well now, I'll tell you one thing. You gotta put film in this camera.
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: Are you sure of that?
Old Sailor: Well for the love of Mike - I mean - What's the matter with you? If you're gonna make a movie you gotta put film in the camera. Even I know that.
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: No, no no. No. We're gonna make this movie without film. This movie, sailor, cannot be made, has no reason for being made, and none of us know how to make a movie anyway. So what's the sense in using film?
Old Sailor: Makes sense!
