:09:22
They're here.
:09:24
Good.
:09:25
Let's go.
:09:28
Cabot and Watson came alone.
No senators. No congressmen.
:09:32
I wish they'd brought a few senators.
I'd like to tell 'em what's going on here.
:09:36
John, please! Don't start that right away.
:09:39
I had them on the phone
and they're calmed down.
:09:43
Well, are we positive that these men had
no way of knowing this was only a test?
:09:48
Lyle, for God's sakes! How many times
are we gonna go through this?
:09:52
- It doesn't make any difference.
- I've spoken to these men.
:09:56
They all believed it was the real deal.
:09:58
Look, we gotta be on a plane
in less than an hour.
:10:01
I have to explain to the president
why 22% of his missile commanders
:10:05
failed to launch their missiles. What
am I supposed to say? 22% isn't so bad?
:10:09
The president knows that I am fully
responsible for the men in my command.
:10:14
I've ordered a re-evaluation of
our psychological screening procedure.
:10:18
Wait a minute. Excuse me, General.
:10:20
We can't ask these men
to go back to the president
:10:23
with a lot of headshrinker horseshit!
You can't screen out human response!
:10:28
Those men know what it means to turn
the keys, and some are just not up to it!
:10:32
Now, it's as simple as that!
:10:38
I think we oughta take
the men out of the loop.
:10:41
- Mr McKittrick, you're out of line, sir.
- Why am I out of line?
:10:45
Excuse me!
:10:48
I'm sorry. I don't understand.
Take them out of the loop?
:10:51
Gentlemen! We've had men in these silos
:10:54
since before any of you
were watching Howdy Doody.
:10:59
For myself, I sleep pretty well at night
knowing those boys are down there.
