Captain Morton Quotes in Ensign Pulver (1964)

Captain Morton: [Having intercepted Ens. Pulver attempting to smuggle bottles of scotch on board] I want the name of every man that ordered a bottle of that stuff.

Ens. Frank Pulver: Nobody ordered it, sir. It's for me.

Captain Morton: You was gonna' drink all of that yourself?

Ens. Frank Pulver: Slowly.

Captain Morton: This is a *Navy* ship, mister! Throw that dirty liquor overboard!

Captain Morton: I don't want a crew of whining sissies with table manners. I want MEN!

Doc: You've GOT men! That's your problem! If we were in combat it would be different. These men left their homes to FIGHT, but they never got into the war! They're in limbo, Captain, trapped between heaven and hell on a floating 10-cent store!

Captain Morton: You "college" officers make me PUKE!

Captain Morton: [to Doc] The only reason I don't take you by the nap of the neck and throw you overboard, is that I might need a doctor some day!
