:12:00
Yes, General Turgidson is here,
but he can't come to the phone now.
:12:05
This is his secretary, Miss Scott.
:12:08
Freddie, how areyou?
:12:10
Fine. And you?
:12:13
Oh, we werejust catching up
on some ofthe general's paperwork.
:12:17
He's tied up.
I'm afraid he can't come to the phone.
:12:23
Just a minute.
:12:25
General Turgidson,
a Colonel Puntrich calling.
:12:28
Tell him to call back.
:12:30
Freddie, the general says
could you call back in a minute?
:12:35
He says it can't wait.
:12:37
For Pete's--
Find out what he wants.
:12:40
The general is in the powder room
right now.
:12:44
Could you tell me what it's about?
:12:48
Just a second. Apparently they monitored
a transmission eight minutes ago...
:12:52
from Burpelson Air Force Base.
:12:56
Right. It was directed to
the 843rd Bomb Wing on airborne alert.
:13:03
It decoded as Wing attack Plan R.
:13:07
Well, tell him to call what's-his-name,
Base Commander Ripper.
:13:12
Do I have to think ofeverything?
:13:14
The general suggests you call General
Ripper, the 843rd base commander.
:13:19
Oh. All communications are dead!
:13:22
Bull! Tell him to do it himself.
:13:26
The general asks ifyou could
possibly try again yourself.
:13:31
I see. He says he's tried personally
several times, but everything is dead.
:13:35
Even the normal phone lines
are shut down.
:13:46
Fred? Buck.
What's it look like?
:13:50
Yeah?
:13:53
Well, areyou sure
it's Plan R?
:13:57
Huh. What's cooking
on the threat board?
