A scene from Das Boot 1981
Johann

Captain, I wish to apologize.

Captain

You can't just apologize, Johann. You left your battle station at a critical moment. Also, you disobeyed my command.

Johann

Will I be court-martialed?

Captain

How many patrols have you done?

Johann

It's my ninth.

Captain

You, of all people, Johann.

Johann

It was a mistake. I didn't... It was... It... All of a sudden... As if... It won't ever happen again, sir. You can depend on it. I swear.

Captain

It's all right, Johann.

Johann

No court-martial?

Captain

[nods]

Get some sleep.
[Johann exits. The Captain adds "Decision, return to La Rochelle" to the log book]
