All right, Mr. 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.
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.
Before we sailed, I dispatched a letter to Admiral Bedorin in which I informed him of our intentions to defect.
-In the name of god, why? You have signed our death warrants.
-Bedorin will send the whole fleet after us.
When he reached the New World, Cortez burned his ships. As a result, his men were well motivated. You're worried about our fleet, Yuri? Well, you should be. Personally, I'd give us....one chance in three. More tea, anyone, hmm? No? Very well then, return to your posts.
We play our dangerous game, a game of chess against our old adversary - The American Navy. For forty years, your fathers before you and your older brothers played this game and played it well. But today the game is different. We have the advantage.
Jack Ryan: Well, I thought 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.
You know, when I was a kid, I helped my dad build an bomb shelter
in our backyard because some jerk parked a dozen warheads 90 miles from the coast of Florida. THIS thing could park a couple hundred warheads 90 miles from Washington, and no one would know anything about it until it was all over.
We have a briefing with the President in thirty minutes.
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.
I say that to my kid when he swings and misses in youth baseball since they use aluminum bats, " only takes one pitch Bear, one ping only Vasily".

-And the singing?
Let them sing.

There's one thing you haven't yet asked me: why?
Jack Ryan: Well, I thought 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.
You are.
