ANGEL: (to Lawson) Let's get these bodies out of here.

(Angel and Lawson move the bodies to the empty bunks.)

LAWSON: May I speak freely, sir? I recognize there's a lot going on here that I don't understand... but those monsters butchered my crew... and apparently they're in the S.S.

ANGEL: Spike's not in the S.S. He just likes wearing the jacket.

LAWSON: Yeah, that doesn't help me understand why we're working with him or keeping him alive, for that matter.

ANGEL: I got him under control.

LAWSON: That's not the point. He killed my captain, sir.

ANGEL: We may be able to use them. We don't have much of a crew left.

LAWSON: I don't think we'll need 'em.

ANGEL: They're extra hands.

LAWSON: They're monsters. And I don't know why we—

ANGEL: You don't need to know why. We gotta bring this sub in. Those are our orders. Isn't that the point? Following orders?

LAWSON: There's a difference between orders... and purpose, sir. I didn't sign on 'cause I needed directions. Hell, growin' up, I used to make fun of the military boys. Always figured they wouldn't know how to tie their shoes if someone didn't give 'em the go-ahead. Then I saw pictures of what the Krauts were doing. Evil's spreading, sir... and it's not just over there. It was on my ship, it killed my crew, and we gotta stop it! And I've been scared out of my mind since I signed on for this duty, but I can keep it together, I can even handle dying, if I know it's for a greater purpose.

ANGEL: We got a job to do. That job is gonna help us win the war. I don't need you to understand every detail, but just know we're fightin' on the same side. I need you to trust that I'm gonna get us all through this... safe and sound.
