Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N. - Strategic Decisions Amidst Imminent Danger
Midshipman Longley:
What if the Spanish attack while we're at anchor?
First Lieutenant William Bush:
The Lydia'd be blown to bits... and I'd lose twenty shillings.
Third Lieutenant Crystal:

Captain Horatio Hornblower:
Very good, Mr. Crystal. Well, gentlemen, that leaves time for a rubber of whist.
