Capt. Ramsey:
Just so we understand each other... I don't have any problems with questions or doubts. As I said to you before, I'm not seeking the company of kiss-asses. But when you got something to say to me, you say it in private. And if privacy doesn't permit itself, then you bite your fucking tongue. Are we clear about that, Commander? Hunter:
As a bell, sir. Capt. Ramsey:
Those sailors out there are just boys... boys who are training to do a terrible and unthinkable thing, and if that ever occurs the only reassurance they'll have that they're doing the proper thing is gonna derive from their unqualified belief in the unified chain of command. That means we don't question each other's motives in front of the crew. It means we don't undermine each other. It means in a missile drill, they hear your voice right after mine, without hesitation. Do you agree with that policy, sailor? Hunter:
Absolutely, sir. Capt. Ramsey:
We're here to preserve democracy, not to practice it
