Corrigan:
Would you mind telling me why we're traveling in circles?
3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
In circles, sir?
Corrigan:
Yeah. A little while ago the waves were coming from the front of the ship, now they're coming from the side.
3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
Well, it's that kind of sea, sir. North Atlantic, you know.
Corrigan:
A half hour ago the sun was on the port side, now it's on the starboard - is it that kind of sun?
3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
They must be checking the steering gear - just routine.
Corrigan:
Uh-huh. And about that explosion this morning?
3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
Just blowing Number 2 Boiler, sir.
Corrigan:
Buddy, I am by profession a politician: the mayor of a rather large city, as a matter of fact.
3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
Yes, sir?
Corrigan:
In my line of work you have to learn how to lie with remarkable precision. You also have to know how to recognize a lie when it bites you in the ass... and I have just been bitten.
3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
I'll, uh, convey your complaint to the captain, sir.
