Mister Roberts quotes

  • Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: Captain, you told me...

    The Captain: Never mind what I told you. *I'm telling you!*

  • Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: Doc, he lies in his sack all day long, bores me silly with great, moronic plots against the captain. He's never carried out one of them.

    Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: I haven't, huh?

    Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: No, Frank, you haven't. What ever happened to those marbles you were gonna put in the captain's overhead so they'd roll around all night and keep him awake?

    Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: Now you've gone too far. Now you've asked for it.

    [pulls out a box]

    Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: What does that look like? Five marbles. Got another one in my pocket. Six marbles. I'm looking for marbles all day long!
