Lt. Emily Lake, Diving Officer Quotes in Down Periscope (1996)

[from trailer]

Seaman Buckman: You ever hear of the mile deep club?

Lt. Emily Lake, Diving Officer: You ever hear of the salad bar?

Lt. Comd. Dodge: [Addresses the crew after they clean up the Stingray] Well done, guys! She may not be the youngest girl at the ball, but she'll turn a head or two. If she runs half as well as she looks, we may even survive. Dive test tomorrow morning at 0700. The rest of you are on shore leave until...

[He pauses and notices Lt. Lake. Her clothes have been shrunken and now hug her form]

Lt. Comd. Dodge: Lt. Lake... you're... almost out of uniform. Now, either you have miscalculated your dress size, or there has been some foul play!

Stepanek: [Raises his hand] Hey, if it's a disqualifying offense, I would like to take full and sole responsiblity, sir.

Lt. Comd. Dodge: [Ignoring Stepanek] Gentleman, either you tell me who is responsible for this or shore leave is canceled.

[Spots and Buckman smile and stay silent]

Lt. Comd. Dodge: Very well. Everybody back in the boat!

Executive Officer Martin T. 'Marty' Pascal: [Crew groans] You heard the captain! Back into the boat!

Lt. Comd. Dodge: [as Lake walks with the rest of the crew back to the sub] Lt. Lake. I'm sorry about that. It won't happen again.

Lt. Emily Lake, Diving Officer: Thank you very much, sir, but I can take care of myself.

[She awkwardly walks back to the sub due to the tight uniform restricting her]

[last lines]

Lt. Emily Lake, Diving Officer: What is this tattoo I've heard so much about?

Lt. Comd. Dodge: Well... it's a long story. It was right after the Murmansk brushing incident. You're familiar with that, I believe...

Lt. Emily Lake, Diving Officer: Balls to the walls, boys!

Lt. Comd. Dodge: [Stingray has been single pinged by the Orlando] Lt. Lake, prepare to surface!

Lt. Emily Lake, Diving Officer: Surface?

[pause]

Lt. Emily Lake, Diving Officer: I mean, aye Sir!

Executive Officer Martin T. 'Marty' Pascal: Sir! Respectfully... I can't condone your decision to surrender this quickly!

Lt. Comd. Dodge: I'm proud of you, Marty!

[Into the intercom]

Lt. Comd. Dodge: Howard, once we're on the surface, run on one screw only!

[Addressing the control room]

Lt. Comd. Dodge: Rig for red!

[Returning to the intercom]

Lt. Comd. Dodge: And send somebody forward with a drop light and a role of duct tape!

Torpedo Man: [over intercom] Conn, Torpedo. Request permission to arm flares, sir.

Lt. Comd. Dodge: Hell, no. Ready torpedo tubes one and two.

Torpedo Man: Aye, sir.

Lt. Emily Lake, Diving Officer: [alarmed] Torpedoes?

Lt. Comd. Dodge: [smiles] Trust me.

Lt. Comd. Dodge: Bearing... mark!

Torpedo Man: Fire one!

[the Stingray rocks as the first torpedo is fired]

Lt. Comd. Dodge: Bearing two-six-four, range eight-five-zero... fire two!
