Robert Crain:
[in the officer's mess: Crain, Capt. Mueller and Kruse are dining]
It's a long voyage, and I hope that we could find some common interest.
Robert Crain:
[motions to a nearby chess board]
Do you play the chess, sir?
Captain Mueller:
[curtly]
I do.
Robert Crain:
Well, then, we perhaps could have a game?
Captain Mueller:
[curtly]
Mr Keil, I have neither the time, nor the desire to play chess with you.
Robert Crain:
[slightly taken aback]
Captain Mueller... I'm not accustomed to unfriendliness, hmm? And, I quite frankly... I was really not prepared for it. Do you have some particular quarrel with SS, Captain?
Captain Mueller:
I'm sure that you SS gentlemen are very valuable on dry land. But on this ship I have a job to do.
Robert Crain:
But how does my being on board this ship affect your job?
Captain Mueller:
My crew. Word's gotten around that you're aboard, and they're scared to death.
Robert Crain:
[chuckles]
This is ridiculous.
Captain Mueller:
Ridiculous or not, I shall have to ask you to confine yourself to your cabin, the deck, and the salon. I don't want you to interfere with their work or mine.
Robert Crain:
Do you mean... am I to understand that I will not be free to, to walk around the ship?
Captain Mueller:
Yes, just that. The Admiralty described you as a passenger. So you will have all the privileges and the restrictions of a passenger.
Robert Crain:
They failed to describe the captain as not only foolish but ill-mannered.
Captain Mueller:
Well, that's their blunder.
Robert Crain:
Captain Mueller, I don't have to put up with this sort of rudeness and I would like to suggest that you show a little more respect for me, for my authority, and for the organization that I represent.
Captain Mueller:
I am the master of this ship. You're under MY authority here.
Robert Crain:
[stands up, pulls a notepad out of his pocket]
Mr. Kruse, you will attest that the captain is not only insulting, but uncooperative. I will make a full report of this when we reach Bordeaux, hmm?
Captain Mueller:
Bordeaux? The only report I care about - IF we reach Bordeaux - is that Captain Mueller brought the "Ingo" on a 15,000 mile journey through enemy waters with a precious cargo, successfully. Even if he didn't play chess on the way.
Robert Crain:
I hoped that our relations would be pleasant but I see that they won't. Good night.
