Heartwarming / Midway (1976)

• While Spruance is visiting him in the hospital, Halsey gives the nervous man a much-needed pep-talk to reassure him of his ability.
  Spruance: I just want to thank you for recommending me to take your task force to sea. Now I have a question for you... Did that itch go to your head?
  Halsey: [amused chuckle] Stop underestimating yourself, Ray. Any Skipper who could keep his cruisers and destroyers alongside of my carriers, from one end of the Pacific to the other, is definitely the man for the job.
  Spruance: You and I are... uh... aw, Bill, we're kind of different! Do you think I can pull it off the same way you could have?
  Halsey: [calmly] I can only tell you this, Ray: You play it the way you feel it, not the way you think I'd play it. You go to sea, you find Yamamoto, and chew his ass! Now, that's all there is to it.
• Before he left aboard the Yorktown, Ensign Tom Garth visited his ethnically-Japanese girlfriend Haruko in an interment camp in Hawaii. Haruko then told him that she didn't love him anymore, and that her parents had forbidden her from marrying a white man. After the battle, the Enterprise returns to Pearl Harbor, and the badly-wounded Tom is met by Haruko, who clearly still loves him.
