:13:03
Uh, somebody close that door
back there, will you?

:13:05
Frank?

:13:08
Now, this matter
of the phantom shitter.

:13:13
Now, I know it's a phenomenon

:13:15
that occurs on a
carrier in combat

:13:17
that goes back
to World War II,

:13:19
but this has gotten
out of hand.

:13:21
Last night, the
phantom left a note

:13:23
saying he would strike,

:13:25
and this morning, a turd was
found in the XO's ashtray.

:13:31
That only means
one thing, gentlemen.

:13:34
It is no fighter jock
or recon puke

:13:36
who is doing this thing.

:13:38
It is an A-6 driver,

:13:39
because no one else
on this ship

:13:41
can hit the XO's ashtray.

:13:43
Yeah!

:13:46
Right, right, right.

:13:47
Hup.

:13:48
Someone,

:13:50
in this room right here,

:13:54
is the phantom shitter.

:13:56
Now, it could be your roommate,
pilot, bombardier...

:14:00
Think about it.

:14:02
Movie officer.

:14:03
Yes, sir.

:14:04
What's the film for tonight?

:14:06
Uh, They Shoot Horses,
Don't They?, sir.

:14:08
It's Jane Fonda, sir.

:14:09
Any skin?

:14:10
No, sir.

:14:11
Cancel it.

:14:12
Yeah!

:14:19
Dear Sharon,

:14:21
By now you've been notified
that Morgan is gone.

:14:24
He was killed over Vietnam
flying a night strike

:14:26
and... I wish I could say
that his death was necessary,

:14:30
but... it wasn't.

:14:34
The target we were bombing
was nonexistent,

:14:36
and the mission was useless.

:14:39
Too many good men have died like
Morgan these past two years.

:14:43
I guess I knew him as well
as any man could know another.

:14:47
He was... he was my best friend.

:14:51
I know how heavy a burden

:14:53
his loss is to you
and little Bobby,

:14:55
and... and I know
how much he loved you.

:14:58
Somehow I wish
there was something,

:15:00
just one thing I could do

:15:02
to make up for such a loss
as Morgan.

:15:05
I go on, as Tennyson said,

:15:07
and the world darkens around me,

:15:09
"among new men, strange faces"
and other minds.

:15:14
You have my deepest
and most sincere sympathy.

:15:17
Jake.

:15:52
Real sorry about Mr. McPherson,
sir.

:15:55
What's this?

Flight of the Intruder


:16:14
When did you get married, son?

:16:16
Last time in port, sir.

:16:18
You know you got to have
Navy permission

:16:20
to marry a foreign national?

:16:22
Your folks know?

:16:24
No, sir.

:16:26
Do you love her?

:16:28
Well, yes, sir,
of course I do, sir.

:16:30
I-I got a picture of
her here in my wallet.

:16:32
No, that's all right.
It's all right.

:16:35
You violated a major
regulation, Hardesty,

:16:38
but I'm going to sign
your chit.

:16:41
You realize that you're legally

:16:42
and morally obligated
to this girl.

:16:44
Do you know that?

:16:45
Yes, sir.

:16:47
Do you understand
what that means?

:16:48
You got to support her.

:16:49
Yes, sir.

:16:59
This aircraft
has not been cleaned!

:17:01
Why hasn't this aircraft
been cleaned?

:17:03
I'll clean it myself, sir.

:17:04
I'll see that it's done.

:17:06
You do that,
you get it done!

:17:08
Get it clean!

:17:13
Sorry, sir, l...

:17:14
No, don't explain, son,
just get it done.

:17:17
Mr. Grafton won't hold it
against you.

:17:18
He's just upset.

:17:20
It's just that nobody's ever

:17:21
come back dead like that, sir.

:17:23
Whole ship knows about it.

:17:24
A lot of them come down

:17:25
just to take a look
at it, but...

:17:26
I don't know why we
didn't clean it, sir.

:17:28
When people die,
they're just gone.

:17:29
But not like this, sir.
