Hunter: [asking about the radio repair] How long's it gonna take? Vossler: I don't know, sir. Hunter: You know what's going on here? Vossler: Yes sir. Hunter: No I don't think you do. Let me explain it to you. If we launch, and we're wrong, what's left of Russia is gonna launch at us. There will be a nuclear holocaust beyond imagination, now it's all about knowing, Mr... [Hunter looks at Vossler's name patch] Hunter: Vossler. We have to know whether our order to launch has been recalled or not. The only way we're gonna know, is if you fix that radio, you understand? Vossler: [looks down] Hunter: You ever watch Star Trek? Vossler: St- yeah, Star... Hunter: Star Trek! The USS Enterprise? All right, now you remember when the Klingons were gonna blow up the Enterprise and Captain Kirk calls down to Scotty he says "Scotty, I gotta have more power-" Vossler: He needs more, more warp speed, yeah. Hunter: Warp speed, exactly. Now I'm Captain Kirk, you're Scotty, I need more power. I'm telling you if you do not get this radio up, a billion people are gonna die; now it's all up to you, I know it's a shitty deal but you got it, can you handle it? Vossler: [silent] Hunter: Scotty? Vossler: Aye, Captain.
