[Stone: Or you will plunge to destruction. Homer, sir] The fact that you know that infuriates me beyond words. What my daughter sees in you is a great mystery to me. You're a very smart individual with very weak character, leadership and decision-making skills. Do you have anything to say to me? Anything? [Stone: Negative, sir] Enjoy these naval exercises, Hopper. They're likely to be your last. Dismissed."

[...] The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Commander Stone Hopper, for extraordinary heroism. Receiving the award on behalf of his brother- Lieutenant Commander Alex Hopper. [After receiving his brother's Navy Cross, Alex Hopper turns to leave] Stand fast, Mr. Hopper. It is my great pleasure to present you with the Silver Star, for your exceptional heroism and gallantry in combat operations. And I look forward to seeing you at sea on a ship of your own command. Soon."
