Mister Roberts quotes

  • Chief Petty Officer Dowdy: [referring to the letter from Forney] Could I have that, I'd like to post it for the crew.

    Doc: [referring to the letter from Roberts] No, post this one. It's theirs.

  • Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: [singing] If I could be with you one hour tonight / If I was free to do the things I might / I'm telling you true / I'd be anything but blue / If I could be with you.
