Lt. Bud Roberts, Jr. : Mikey, um... about what I said. I didn't mean it.
Midshipman Mike 'Mikey' Roberts : Forget it.
Lt. Bud Roberts, Jr. : No, you're going to make a fine Naval officer.
Midshipman Mike 'Mikey' Roberts : Yeah, I know that. But do you know it?
Lt. Bud Roberts, Jr. : What? Do...? Of course.
Midshipman Mike 'Mikey' Roberts : I don't think so. You still see me as your kid brother. Kind of dumb, kind of worthless. Yeah, you'll always see me that way. You and dad.
Lt. Bud Roberts, Jr. : Mikey, that's not true.
Midshipman Mike 'Mikey' Roberts : No, it is true. And you know what? I'm... I'm tired of it. So next time you need a babysitter, a chauffeur, a stooge... call someone else. Oh... it's not "Mikey". It's "Mike."

Lt. Bud Roberts, Jr. : How do you expect to be a Naval officer - a leader - when... when you can't even watch a six-year old child for a couple of hours?
Midshipman Mike 'Mikey' Roberts : I'm sorry.
Lt. Bud Roberts, Jr. : Sorry?
[Bud scoffs]
Lt. Bud Roberts, Jr. : You're worthless. You've always been worthless. And you'll always be worthless!
