Christine Durrant : [seeing the devastated French naval base at Toulon] Where will we go in Spain?
Bill Masen : Well, there's a big American naval base in southern Spain at Cadiz. They're equipped for disaster. They got supplies. They're disciplined.
Christine Durrant : So were the French at Toulon.

Bill Masen : Feel guilty, hmmm?
Christine Durrant : Maybe.
Bill Masen : You know why?
Christine Durrant : Why?
Bill Masen : Because you survived. Bettina, Coker & all the rest dead. And you're alive, and you wonder why.
Christine Durrant : That's exactly right.
Bill Masen : Yeah, I know the feeling. During the war, you get a ship shot out from underneath you. All your friends gone, and only a handful left. And you ask yourself "Why me? Why not someone better?"
