Alex got into a bathroom on the ship and put his cover on a hook,went to the sink and looked at himself not he mirror.

"Sir, it would be an honor." Alex cleared his throat. "Sir. Sir. Sir." Alex went down and washed his face then he looked at himself in the mirror. "Give me your permission- It would be an honor to have your permission." "Sir, give me your permission. What's your deal." "It would be a thankful honor to have your permission to honor your hand. What?" Alex took many approaches. "Oh, my God." He closed his eyes and looked down before reopening it and looked back into the mirror.

"Sir. May I please marry your son? He's everything I have, and I love him." Then the door opened making Alex look to see it was Nagata. Alex stood up straight since he was holding onto the sink. "Talking to yourself, Mr. Hopper?" Nagata asked. "Yeah. I was. I was actually talking about you, Nagata." Alex said as they looked at eachother. "Mmm-hmm."

Ordy opened the door coming into the ship whistling and walked forward. "Thats for Kicking me in the face." Ordy stopped infront of the bathroom hearing shouts. "Eat it! Take it!" "Let go! Let go." "What the.." Ordy watched the door before backing away and turn around leaving.

"Sir, it was a fluke accident. The bathroom floor was wet. I began to fall. Captain Nagata kindly reached out to help." Alex said infront Admiral Shane who sit down listening while Alex and Nagata were in his office from previous activity. "Our heads go bang. We fall back. Bang, again. Just like the great Jerry Lewis." Nagata said. "Jerry Lewis?" "Did he just say 'Jerry Lewis'?" "Yes sir." Alex said. "Are you kidding me?" Admiral Shane kept looking at them.

"The Bellboy and original The Nutty Professor. Very good movies." Nagata said looking at everyone in the room while he speak but Alex kept looking straight forward not moving an inch. "He is a great humanitarian, Sir." Alex said. "You both think this is a joke and you are very much mistaken. This will not happen again. Do I make myself clear?" Admiral Shane said looking at Alex. "Yes, Sir." Both Nagata and Alex said. "Gentlemen, give me a minute with Mr. Hopper, here." Admiral Shane said. Everyone left the room except Alex.

Admiral Shane got up from his chair and went to Alex on the side looking at him. "What the hell is wrong with you. You've got skills, but I have never ever seen a man waste them like you. Keep the ship out of the surf and spray..." "...Or You will plunge to destruction. Homer, Sir." Alex finished. "The fact that you know that infurious me beyond words. What my son sees in you is a great mystery to me." Admiral Shane said as Alex finally looked at him in the eyes then turned back infront.

"You are a very smart individual with very weak character, leadership, and decision-making skills. Do you have anything to say to me? Anything?" Alex kept quite, he looked at down before looking at the Admiral then looked forward. "...Negative, Sir." "Enjoy this Naval exercises, Hopper. They are likely to be your last. Dismissed." Admiral Shane walked to his desk while Alex walked out of the room.

Alex was walking infront with his uniform on and hat walking in the ship. Walter was behind him with his uniform as well. "Is there anything I can do to help?" Walter asked him. "Negative." "If you want to talk about anything..." "I don't." "If you change your mind..." "I won't." Alex took a corner while Walter stopped walking and looked at his back. "Roger that."
