Partager la citation sur facebook Anatoli, you're afraid of our fleet. Well, you should be. Personally, I'd give us...one chance in three. More tea anyone?

Partager la citation sur facebook Moscow's not the worry, neither is the whole Soviet navy. I know their tactics, I have the advantage. The worry is the Americans. If we meet the right sort, then this will work. We get some... buckaroo...?

Partager la citation sur facebook Well, Sir, I was just thinking that perhaps there's another possibility we might consider. Ramius might be trying to defect.

Partager la citation sur facebook [imitating the Admiral] "The average Russky, son, don't take a dump without a plan." Wait a minute. We don't have to figure out how to get the crew off the sub. He's already done that, he would have had to. All we gotta do is figure out what he's gonna do. So how's he gonna get the crew off the sub? They have to want to get off. How do you get a crew to want to get off a submarine? How do you get a crew to want to get off a nuclear sub...

Partager la citation sur facebook [to himself] Jack, next time you get a bright idea, just put it in a memo!

Partager la citation sur facebook [to himself] Next time, Jack, write a goddamn memo.

Partager la citation sur facebook [sarcastic, imitating Ramius] "Ryan, some things in here don't react well to bullets." Yeah, like me. I don't react well to bullets.

Partager la citation sur facebook My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on playmate of the month.

Partager la citation sur facebook The hard part about playing chicken is knowin' when to flinch.

Partager la citation sur facebook [to the Soviet Ambassador] It would be well for your government to consider that having your ships and ours, your aircraft and ours, in such proximity... is inherently DANGEROUS. Wars have begun that way, Mr. Ambassador.

Partager la citation sur facebook [to Ryan] Listen, I'm a politician which means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies I'm stealing their lollipops. But it also means I keep my options open.

Partager la citation sur facebook [to Ryan] I'll give you three days to prove your theory correct. After that... we'll have to hunt down Ramius and destroy him. Will you do it?

Partager la citation sur facebook [after running up to the USS Enterprise flight deck to survey an F-14 crash scene] This business will get out of control! It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it!

Partager la citation sur facebook What's his plan? ... Russians don't take a dump, son, without a plan. And senior captains don't start something this dangerous without having thought the matter through.

Partager la citation sur facebook Ambassador Lysenko: It seems that the initial reports that one of our submarines was missing were not completely accurate. The submarine in question... is commanded by Captain Marko Ramius. Apparently he's suffered a kind of mental or nervous break down. Just before he sailed, he posted a letter to Admiral Yuri Padorin, in which he announced his intention to, to fire his missiles on the United States.

Partager la citation sur facebook Watson: Y'know, I seen me a mermaid once. I even seen me a shark eat an octopus. But I ain't never seen no phantom Russian submarine.

Partager la citation sur facebook Capt. 2nd Rank Vasily Borodin: [as he's dying] I would like to have seen Montana...

Partager la citation sur facebook Captain Tupolov: We're going to kill a friend, Yevgeni. We're going to kill Ramius.

Partager la citation sur facebook Admiral James Greer: I told you to speak your mind Jack, but Jesus!

Partager la citation sur facebook Admiral James Greer: Now, understand, commander, that torpedo did not self-destruct. You heard it hit the hull. And I... [shows him his CIA identification] ...was never here.

Partager la citation sur facebook Flight Attendant: The flight will go much faster if you do try to get some sleep.
Ryan: I don't sleep on planes. Turbulence.
Flight Attendant: Pardon?
Ryan: Solar radiation heats the earth's crust, warm air rises, cool air descends: turbulence. I don't like that.
Flight Attendant: Oh. Well, try to get some sleep anyway.

Partager la citation sur facebook Seaman Jones: [teaching Beaumont] Hear it now?
Beaumont: [resigned] No.
Seaman Jones: Beaumont, at Caltech we used to do this in our sleep! You hear it now?
Beaumont: Wait a minute...
Seaman Jones: Uh oh...
Beaumont: Buried in the surface clutter...
Seaman Jones: Yeeeesssss?
Beaumont: I should go to SAPS?
Seaman Jones: Correct! Seaman Beaumont, Signal Algorithmic Processing System. Give it a week and you'll be teaching at Caltech. So, like Beethoven on the computer, you have labored to produce... [dot matrix printer rattles] ...a biologic.
Beaumont: A what?
Seaman Jones: A whale, Seaman Beaumont, a whale. A marine mammal that knows a hell of a lot more about sonar, than you do.

Partager la citation sur facebook Capt. Vasili Borodin: I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?
Captain Ramius: Oh, yes.
Capt. Vasili Borodin: No papers?
Captain Ramius: No papers, state to state.
Capt. Vasili Borodin: Well then, in winter I will live in... Arizona. Actually, I think I will need two wives.
Captain Ramius: Oh, at least.

Partager la citation sur facebook Seaman Jones: Conn, sonar! Crazy Ivan!
Capt. Bart Mancuso: All stop! Quick quiet!
[the ships engines are shut down completely]
Beaumont: What's goin' on?
Seaman Jones: Russian captains sometime turn suddenly to see if anyone's behind them. We call it "Crazy Ivan." The only thing you can do is go dead, shut everything down and make like a hole in the water.
Beaumont: So what's the catch?
Seaman Jones: The catch is, a boat this big doesn't exactly stop on a dime... and if we're too close, we'll drift right into the back of him.

Partager la citation sur facebook Jack Ryan: Where are we going, anyway?
Admiral James Greer: Briefing for Jeffrey Pelt, the President's National Security Advisor. Most of the Joint Chiefs will be there, along with a few other people.
Jack Ryan: Who's giving the briefing?
Admiral James Greer: You are.

Partager la citation sur facebook Jeffrey Pelt: You slammed the door on the General pretty hard, Jack.
Jack Ryan: That was not my intention, sir.
Jeffrey Pelt: Oh, yes, it was! He was patronizing you, and you stomped on him! And in my opinion, he deserved it!

Partager la citation sur facebook Jeffrey Pelt: Okay, when do you leave?
Jack Ryan: [laughing] Wait a minute! The General was right. I am not field personnel, I am only an analyst.
Jeffrey Pelt: You're perfect. I can't ask any of these characters to go. One, they don't believe in it. Two, they'd never stake their reputation on a hunch. Whereas you...
Jack Ryan: ...are expendable.
Jeffrey Pelt: Something like that.

Partager la citation sur facebook Jeffrey Pelt: Mr. Ambassador, you have nearly a hundred naval vessels operating in the North Atlantic right now. Your aircraft has dropped enough sonar buoys so that a man could walk from Greenland to Iceland to Scotland without getting his feet wet. Now, shall we dispense with the bull?
Ambassador Lysenko: You make your point as delicately as ever, Mr. Pelt.

Radioman: [shouting amiably over the engines] So you don't like flyin', huh? This is nothin'! You shoulda been with us five, six months ago! Whoa, talk about puke! We ran into a hailstorm over the Sea of Japan! Everyone was retchin' his guts out! The pilot shot his lunch all over the windshield, and I barfed on the radio - knocked it out completely! It wasn't that lightweight stuff, either; it was that chunky, industrial-weight puke! [proferring a candy bar] Here, ya wanna bite?
Jack Ryan: [through clenched teeth] Jack, next time you get a bright idea, put it in a memo!

Partager la citation sur facebook Helicopter Pilot: Fuel status says we turn back now.
Jack Ryan: Wait a minute. Fuel status? You have a reserve, don't you?
Helicopter Pilot: Yes, sir. I've got a ten minute reserve... but I'm not allowed to invade that except in time of war.
Jack Ryan: Listen, mister, if you don't get me on board that goddamn submarine, that just might be what you'll have! You got me? Now you have ten more minutes' worth of fuel, we stay here ten more minutes!

Partager la citation sur facebook Captain Davenport: What's he going to do, sail into New York, pop the hatch, and say "Here I am"?
Jack Ryan: It might be just that simple, yes.

Partager la citation sur facebook [Jack Ryan, in US Navy Commander uniform, exits after meeting the Admiral and Captain of the carrier]
Admiral Josh Painter: You think he's crazy?
Captain Davenport: Certifiable. And no matter what his credentials, I don't care for him wearing the uniform.
Admiral Josh Painter: You see that ring on his finger? The Academy, Class of '72. A Marine.
Captain Davenport: You're kidding! How did you...
Admiral Josh Painter: Greer told me. Summer of his third year, he and his squad went down in a chopper accident in the Med. Bad - pilot, crew killed. That kid spent ten months in traction, another year learning to walk again. Did his fourth year from the hospital. Now it's up to you, Charlie, but you might consider cuttin' the kid a little slack. Ah, Russians are gonna find that sub before we get near it, anyhow.

Partager la citation sur facebook Captain Davenport: They're pinging away with their active sonar like they're looking for something, but nobody's listening.
Jack Ryan: What do you mean?
Captain Davenport: Well, they're moving at almost forty knots. At that speed, they could run right over my daughter's stereo and not hear it.
Jack Ryan: They're not trying to find Ramius, they're trying to drive him.
Captain Davenport: Drive him where?
[on a computer screen, Ryan indicates the 'searching' ships closing in on Russian vessels blockading American seaports]
Jack Ryan: Hounds to the hunters.
Captain Davenport: Your Russian's going to make it to America, Mr. Ryan. He's going to die within sight of it.

Partager la citation sur facebook Capt. Bart Mancuso: All back full.
Lt. Cmdr. Thompson: Say again?
Capt. Bart Mancuso: I said, all back full!
Lt. Cmdr. Thompson: Back full, aye sir. Engines back full.
[the Dallas reverses, churning the water]
Seaman Jones: Captain, we're cavitating, he can hear us!
Capt. Bart Mancuso: Conn, aye! All stop!
Crewmember: All stop, aye.
Capt. Bart Mancuso: All right, Ryan, we just unzipped our fly. Mr. Thompson! Open the outer doors, firing point procedures. Now if that bastard so much as twitches, I'm going to blow him right to Mars.

Partager la citation sur facebook [Noticing Mancuso's sidearm, Ramius comments in Russian to Borodin that Mancuso is a "buckaroo". Ryan laughs]
Capt. Bart Mancuso: What's so funny?
Jack Ryan: Ah, the Captain seems to think you're some kind of... cowboy.
Captain Ramius: [in Russian] You speak Russian.
Jack Ryan: [in Russian] A little. It is wise to study the ways of one's adversary. Don't you think?
Captain Ramius: [in English] It is.

Partager la citation sur facebook Bill Steiner: Hey I think someone just shot a torpedo at us!
Capt. Bart Mancuso: No shit, Buckwheat, now get the hell out of here!

Commander Bart Mancuso: No, that's wrong. Ryan, don't turn that goddamn wheel.
Captain Ramius: 315.
[Ryan looks up at Ramius, standing over the conn, then Mancuso, then back to Ramius, and starts to turn to Ramius' heading]
Commander Bart Mancuso: You're heading straight into that torpedo.
Captain Ramius: (curtly) Yes.

Capt. Vasili Borodin: Torpedo impact, 20 seconds.
Captain Ramius: [to Ryan] What books?
Jack Ryan: Pardon me?
Captain Ramius: What books did you write?
Jack Ryan: I wrote a biography of, of Admiral Halsey, called "The Fighting Sailor", about, uh, naval combat tactics...
Captain Ramius: I know this book!
Capt. Vasili Borodin: Torpedo impact...
Captain Ramius: Your conclusions were all wrong, Ryan...
Capt. Vasili Borodin: ...10 seconds.
Captain Ramius: ...Halsey acted stupidly.

Capt. Vasili Borodin: Torpedo impact, 5 seconds.
[the torpedo slams into the bow of Red October and breaks up on impact]
Commander Bart Mancuso: I'll be damned!
Jack Ryan: What happened?
Commander Bart Mancuso: Combat tactics, Mr. Ryan. By turning into the path of the torpedo, the Captain closed the distance before it could arm itself.
Jack Ryan: So that's it?
Captain Ramius: Not quite. Right now Tupolev is removing the safety features on all his weapons. He won't make the same mistake twice.

Partager la citation sur facebook Captain Ramius: [during a shootout in the missile room] Hey, Ryan, be careful what you shoot at. Some things in here don't react too well to bullets.
Jack Ryan: [mutters] Yeah, like me. I don't react too well to bullets.
[Moves closer to enemy, who fires several shots at him]
Jack Ryan: I have to be careful what I shoot at?

Dr. Jeffrey Pelt: Please.
Ambassador Andrei Lysenko: One of our submarines, an Alfa, was last reported in the area of the Grand Banks. We have not heard from her for some time.
Dr. Jeffrey Pelt: Andrei... you've lost another submarine?

Partager la citation sur facebook Captain Ramius: There's one thing you haven't yet asked me: why?
Jack Ryan: Well, I figured you would tell me when you felt ready.
Captain Ramius: Well, there are those who believe that we should attack the United States first. Settle everything in one moment. Red October was built for that purpose.
