Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Capt. Ramsey:
We have orders in hand. Those orders are to make a pre-emptive launch. Every second that we lose increases the chances that by the time our missiles arrive, their silos could be empty because they've flown their birds and struck us first.
Hunter:
Yes sir.
Capt. Ramsey:
You know as well as I do that any launch order received without authentication, is no order at all.
Hunter:
Yes sir.
Capt. Ramsey:
That's our number one rule.
Hunter:

National mil...
Capt. Ramsey:
And that rule is the basis for the scenario we've trained on, time and time again. It's a rule we follow without exception.
Hunter:
Captain, National Military Command Center knows what sector we're in. They have satellites looking down on us to see if our birds are aloft and if they're *not*, then they give our orders to somebody else. That's why we maintain more than one sub, it's what they call 'redundancy'!
Capt. Ramsey:
I know about redundancy, Mr Hunter.
Hunter:
All I'm saying...
[Ramsey walks off]
Hunter:
[follows Ramsey, lowers his voice]
All I'm saying Captain, is that we have backup. Now it's our duty, *not* to launch until we can confirm.
Capt. Ramsey:
You're presuming we have other submarines out there, ready to launch. Well as Captain, I must assume our submarines could've been taken out by other Akulas. We can play these games all night Mr Hunter but uh, I don't have the luxury of your presumptions.
Hunter:
Sir...
Capt. Ramsey:
Mr Hunter, we have rules that are not open to interpretation, personal intuition, gut feelings, hairs on the back of your neck, little devils or angels sitting on your shoulder. We're all very well aware of what our orders are and what those orders mean. They come down from our Commander in Chief. They contain no ambiguity.
Hunter:
Captain...
Capt. Ramsey:
Mr Hunter. I've made a decision. I'm Captain of this boat. NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP!
