The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial

Challee: Sir, the witness is obviously and understandably agitated by this ordeal and I request a recess to give him a breathing space.

Lieutenant Commander Phillip Queeg: I'm not agitated in the least. I'm glad to answer any and all questions. In fact, I-I demand the opportunity to set the record straight for any derogatory statements made about me in testimony that's gone before. I didn't make a single mistake in the 15 months I was aboard the Caine, and I-I can prove it. I've had a spotless record up until now and I don't want it being discredited by these lies and distortions told by these disloyal officers.

Captain Luther Blakely: Commander, would you like a recess?

Lieutenant Commander Phillip Queeg: Certainly not. In fact, if I had any say in this, I would ask there be no recess.
