[ADM Shane is berating CPT Nagata and LT Hopper after their fight; a group of Japanese and American officers are present.]
ADM Shane: You both think this a joke, then you are very much mistaken. This will not happen again; Do I make myself clear?
LT Alex Hopper: Yes, sir.
CPT Yugi Nagata: Yes, sir.
ADM Shane: [To the officers around him] Gentlemen, give me a moment alone with Mr. Hopper.
[CPT Nagata and the assembled American and Japanese officers leave the room, ADM Shane stands up and faces Hopper, visibly furious, yet calmly.]
ADM Shane: What is wrong with you? You've got skills. But I have never- EVER! Seen a man waste them like you. "Keep the ship out of the surf and spray-"
LT Alex Hopper: "-or you will plunge to destruction." Homer, sir.
ADM Shane: [Stares at Hopper] The fact that you know that infuriates me beyond words. What my daughter sees in you is a great mystery to me. You're a very smart individual with very weak leadership, character, and decision-making skills. [Pauses] Do you have anything to say to me? Anything?
LT Alex Hopper: Negative, sir.
ADM Shane: Enjoy these naval exercises, Hopper. They're likely to be your last. Dismissed.
