• Captain John Mark : Mr. Haverstock, I want a talk with you.

  John Jones : Yes sir?

  Captain John Mark : I just found out you're a newspaperman.

  John Jones : I guess that's right.

  Captain John Mark : Oh, it is, eh? Why didn't you tell me that when I questioned you? You lied to me, sir!

  John Jones : My dear captain, when you've been shot down in a British plane by a German destroyer, 300 miles off the coast of England, latitude 45, and have been hanging on to a half-submerged wing for hours, waiting to drown, with half a dozen other stricken human beings, you're liable to forget you're a newspaperman for a moment or two!
