Young Zack
- Byron:I'm at sea three weeks out of every month; and when I'm back at port, I don't have time for this daddy stuff 'cause that's not who I am.
- Young Zack:That's okay, sir.
- Byron:Wait a second, kid, you don't understand. I'm too old for this. I don't care what the Navy says. This is no place to bring up a kid; like I told you on the telephone, you're better off at that state school back in Virginia.
- Young Zack:[TV edit] I'm never going back there. They treat me like trash.
- Byron:Maybe that's not for you to say. Goddamn it, don't look at me like that. What happened to your mother had nothing to do with me.
- Young Zack:You promised you were gonna come back.
- Byron:Is that what she said? That's a female lie. That's bullshit!
- Young Zack:I found your letters right after she did it. They said you were coming back for us! You said you loved her, and she believed you! You're a liar.

- Mayo:[whispered to sleeping father] Hey.
- [flashback to Manila]
- Byron:Hey, kid! Are you Zack?
- Young Zack:Yes, sir.
- Byron:I'm Byron; nice to meet you. Come on, let's get your bags, OK?
- Young Zack:Yes, sir.
