Capt. Barney Merritt We've done what no men in the world have done before us! We've got to let them know before it's too late. If it's humanly possible, we've got to report.
Sgt. Siegle Report what? That the operation was a big success, but the patients are dyin on a lousy, dried-up ball in the corner pocket of nowhere?
Sgt. Mahoney The General wasn't crazy, he was right! We asked for it! There's a curse on this ship and everybody in it!
