Tekst Utworu

I fold, you sea dogs are too good

Tony, you chicken shit, you always fold

Hollywood, I see your twenty and I raise you fifty

Pickles?

I'm pitch drunk, I'm pitch broke

And I'm pitch sure you've been looking at my cards

I fold too

It's just you and me Pickles, let's see what you got

Arr, nothing

I knew it, you can't play this game to save your life

This is the life you guys, out at sea

Like hell this is the life

Get me off of this tin can of a submarine

And into the arms of a teenage geisha

Pickles, don't give Tony such a hard time

It's not so bad crewing aboard the

Oldest commissioned sub Uncle Sam has

Maybe if the captain wasn't so much of a nutcase

Always pushing her to her limits to prove that

She can keep up with the rest of the fleet

Hey, this is a poker game, not a knitting circle

Somebody deal 'em

Engineer's life, what are you doing here?

Where's the captain?

Why?

We have a situation

What is it?

This should be between me and the captain

But it regards the whole crew

I've just returned from the engine room

And from what I can tell

We don't have enough power in the reserve batteries to surface

Jesus, are we gonna die?

Nobody's gonna die on my sub

Oh jeez captain, we didn't see you standing there in the shadows

Captain on deck

Engineer, meet me in the engine room in five minutes

There's a way we can surface

We can't run the propeller past quarter speed

The batteries are spent

We'll run her at full speed off the diesel engines

Captain, if we open the exhaust pipes

It will flood the sub and we will all die

We're not opening any exhaust pipes

The engines will overheat

Not if we cut in air from the main supply

How will we breathe sir?

It's the diesel engines or we drown down here

We'll make it to the top

I won't cut the air lines, there must be another way

Captain, what are you doing with that fire axe?

I'll cut the lines myself

Captain no!

I'll do it myself

Get me the control room

Aye aye sir

Where's your cup honey?

It's next to the toaster

Did the doctor say no sugar or no milk? I can't remember

He said neither but I'll take a little bit of both

Tony

What? I'm healthy as I was at 73

It's so beautiful out today I could jog to the other side of Brooklyn

You're my hero

Wait, let's do something special today

Go to the park or something

Is it cold out?

Look outside, it's perfect

Do you remember taking little Tony to Coney Island?

Yeah, he'd want to ride the Cyclone all day long

Or until you turned green, whichever came first

Yeah, hey do we have any more toast?

Well if you're feeling so spry why

Don't you go look and see for yourself?

Who could that be?

I don't know, if you're feeling so spry

Why don't you go see for yourself?

Oh fine then

Mr. Natale?

Yes?

He's with the Navy, has a message for us

Is it about our Tony?

Yes it is

What is it?

You may want to sit down

I'd rather stand, what is it?

Mr. and Mrs. Natale, I regret to inform you that your son

Tony Natale Jr. died yesterday on board the USS Providence

Jerry listen to me, I won't do this

I haven't spent the past thirteen years building a

Reputation to do this kind of sensational bullshit

Well he's an asshole

Well so is he

I don't care

Listen what I'm just saying is that I don't think it's

I'm here dad

Well

Fine fine fine fine

Fuck you

Good evening ladies and gentlemen

News 4 anchor Brett Fielding's reporting from the

Most unusual scene this reporter has ever witnessed

Today here in the Moorhead Stadium at Fort Bragg, North Carolina

Former US submarine captain Jack Vernays

Having been found guilty of a litany of

Offenses surrounding the deaths of 234 sailors

Will be executed by guillotine

Vernays is being punished for mutiny against his own crew

The worst crime in naval law

This verdict is rendered only when a captain so

Methodically disregards the well-being of his crew

As to fundamentally violate his responsibility to them

The court came down hard in the case

Finding Mr. Vernays, who had been captain for 23 years

Guilty of 59 counts of manslaughter

117 Counts of murder in the second degree

And 58 counts of murder in the first degree

For these crimes this unique punishment was developed

The court documents state that

Former captain Jack Vernays is to be executed by guillotine

And that the execution is to take place in

The most public manner that can be afforded

Here he comes now

Two large MPs are walking him to the guillotine

They're not wasting any time

They're putting his head into the foreboding piece of machinery

The crowd falls silent as the severity

Of what we're about to witness sets in

A third MP takes to the stand

For the crime of mutiny against his crew

Former captain Jack Vernays is to be

Executed on this 5th of February 1996

Under God's, the world's, and this nation's eyes

The MP steps away from the guillotine and

Cut away
