It Came from Beneath the Sea Page #7

OFFICER:
We're giving you

all she's got, sir.

Very well.

As second in command,

it's my turn to try.

No, it's mine.

You don't know where the monster's

vulnerable. It happens I do.

I'm sorry...

You want to argue about it,

or you want to get free right away?

And don't waste time.

I'll need some explosive and

a harpoon gun if you got one.

Hanson, diving suit and

harpoon gun, on the double.

Aye, aye, sir.

Fuse. Timer to set

for as long as you need.

That's all there is to it.

Mmm-hmm.

Thank you very much.

Whatever he did, he knew his stuff.

It worked.

When the range opens up,

set off the torpedo.

OFFICER:
But the captain's still out

there, sir, and that other fellow, too.

I know it.

I'm obeying the captain's last orders.

You'll do as much for mine.

OFFICER:
Range, 1-0-0-0.

Fire!

No trace of them.

Yes, there is!

There they are. Get them in sight.

Aye.

Left full rudder.

Starboard ahead two-thirds.

The Army and the Navy and our

gallant police and fire departments,

these have all received the honors

they deserve from a grateful city.

But there are three others

who served San Francisco

who also must not be forgotten.

And, therefore, a memorial plaque today

has been presented

to those unsung heroes,

the Civilian Defense volunteers,

the crossing guards,

and street railway employees of this city.

Well, I guess that's it.

The sub's been ordered on patrol.

We'll be on sea duty

for a few months.

I'll be seeing you, John.

Soon, I hope.

Will I be seeing you, Leslie?

You mean when I

get back from Cairo?

I mean women can change,

move away, get married,

have families.

Well, there is that possibility,

but, A, there isn't time

for that to happen to me.

B, I can be reached at the school.

And, C, how would you like to

collaborate with me on a book?

How To Catch a Sea Beast.

Say, Doctor, you know you were

right about this new breed of women.
