[Spruance is visiting Halsey in the hospital] RAdm. Raymond A. Spruance: I just wanted to tell you, Bill; thanks for recommending me to Nimitz. Vice Adm. William F. 'Bull' Halsey Jr.: Listen Ray, you earned it. Any man who can keep his cruisers up with my carriers knows carrier tactics. RAdm. Raymond A. Spruance: I'm not sure I can do things the way you would. Vice Adm. William F. 'Bull' Halsey Jr.: Don't worry about what I would do. Your only job is to go to sea, find Yamamoto, and chew his *ass*!

Ens. Thomas Garth: There's nothing to talk about, sir. You had your old pal Jessop ship me out before I could do something stupid; like trying to help the girl I love. Look, if you couldn't help, why couldn't you just leave it alone? Captain Garth: I did all I could. A hell of a lot more than I should have. You're being paid to fly fighter planes, not sit in your bunk and cry over your girl's picture. You better shape up, Tiger or some hotshot Jap pilot's gonna flame your ass.

[Nimitz has received the first reports on the Battle at Midway] Lt. Comm. Rochefort: Three Jap carriers sunk, Admiral. Isn't that worth at least a "hot diggity damn"? Admiral Nimitz: I'll take it under advisement, Joe. There's still one enemy carrier out there somewhere. Lt. Comm. Rochefort: Admiral, we've already achieved a great victory. Shouldn't you call the carriers back to Pearl and out of harm's way? Admiral Nimitz: That would be the safe course. The only problem is, I want that last carrier.
