Hunt for Red October, The

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.

Pilot: Fuel status says we turn back now.
Jack Ryan: Wait a minute. Fuel status? You have a reserve, don't you?
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: If you don't get me on that goddamned submarine, that might be exactly what you'll have! You got me? Now you have ten more minutes' worth of fuel, we stay here ten more minutes!

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."

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.

Capt. Bart Mancuso: My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on playmate of the month.

Captain Ramius: We will pass through the American patrols, past their sonar nets, and lay off their largest city, and listen to their rock and roll... while we conduct missile drills.

Jeffrey Pelt: 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.

[A torpedo is racing toward them.]
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.

Captain Davenport: What is Ramius going to do, sail into New York Harbor, pop the hatch, and say "Here I am"?
Jack Ryan: It may be just that simple.

Captain Ramius: You're afraid of our fleet. Well, you should be. Personally, I'd give us one chance in three. More tea anyone?

[Shootout in the missile room.]
Captain Ramius: Hey, Ryan, be careful what you shoot at. Most things in here don't react too well to bullets.
Jack Ryan: Right.
[Moves closer to enemy, who fires several shots at him.]
Jack Ryan: *I* have to be careful what *I* shoot at?

Jack Ryan: [to himself] "Ryan, some things in here don't react well to bullets." Yeah, like me. I don't react well to bullets.

Captain Ramius: "... and the sea will grant each man new hope, as sleep brings dreams of home," Christopher Columbus.
Jack Ryan: Welcome to the New World, sir.

Admiral Josh Painter: This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

Captain Ramius: When he reached the New World, Cortez burned his ships. As a result his crew was well motivated.

Captain Ramius: I miss the peace of fishing like when I was a boy. Forty years I've been at sea. A war at sea. A war with no battles, no monuments... only casualties. I widowed her the day I married her. My wife died while I was at sea, you know.

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.

Capt. Bart Mancuso: The hard part about playing chicken is knowin' when to flinch.

Skip Tyler: When I was twelve, I helped my daddy build a bomb shelter in our basement because some fool parked a dozen warheads 90 miles off the coast of Florida. Well, this thing could park a coupla hundred warheads off Washington and New York and no one would know anything about it till it was all over.

Captain Ramius: A great day comrades, we sail into history!

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!

Captain Ramius: It reminds me of the heady days of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin when the world trembled at the sound of our rockets. Now they will tremble again - at the sound of our silence. The order is: engage the silent drive.

Jeffrey Pelt: 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.

Jeffrey Pelt: You slammed the door on the General pretty hard, didn't you?
Jack Ryan: I didn't intend to.
Jeffrey Pelt: Oh, yes, you did! He was patronizing you, and you stomped on him! And in my opinion, he deserved it!

Adm. Painter: What's his plan?
Jack Ryan: His plan?
Adm. Painter: Russians don't take a dump, son, without a plan.

Capt. Bart Mancuso: Central Intelligence Agency... Now, there's a contradiction in terms.

Jack Ryan: I'm not an agent, I just write books for the CIA.

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: That was not my intention, Sir.

Kamarov: Stop pissing, Yuri. Give me a stopwatch and a map, and I'll fly the Alps in a plane with no windows.
Yuri (Diving Officer): If the map is accurate enough.

Poltical Officer Ivan Putin: [Reading from a book belonging to Ramius, quoting the Bible] : ... and the seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a voice cried out from heaven, saying: "It is done".
[Now talking to Ramius]
Poltical Officer Ivan Putin: : A man with your responsibility is reading about the end of the world.

[The Konovalov's own torpedo's is about to strike the Konovalov.]
Andrei Amalric: You arrogant ass. You've killed *us*!

Capt. Vasili Borodin: I should have liked to see Montana.

Admiral James Greer: Now listen carefully, Commander. That torpedo did NOT self destruct. You heard it HIT the hull, and I... was never here.

Jeffrey Pelt: I can't send one of these characters to do it. First off, they don't believe in it. Second -
Jack Ryan: I'm expendable
Jeffrey Pelt: Something like that.

[to himself, just before being lowered off a helicopter]
Jack Ryan: Next time, Ryan, just write a memo.

Capt. Bart Mancuso: You, you speak English?
Red October Officer: Yes
Capt. Bart Mancuso: Get your butt over here.

Captain Ramius: Re-verify our range to target...one ping only.
Capt. Vasili Borodin: But Captain, I've already....!
Captain Ramius: Just give me the ping, Vasili.
Capt. Vasili Borodin: Aye, Captain.
