When they are bringing the Samoan guy to the infirmary, the captain (Donald Sutherland) says it's down that "corridor". Every sailor knows that aboard ship it's a "passageway".
Hmm... Maybe the captain said it to somebody who wasn't familiar at ships? So that they should understand it...
Weak spot, I know, but it's a possibility?
Corridor, Passageway does it really matter that much. If someone is injured don't you think he'd forget about the lingo of captains. Besides it's not a slipup anyway because it is possible for him to be able to say corridor.
