:37:01
you understand, sir,
that we are responsible
:37:03
for launching a nuclear weapon
against our own country?
:37:06
no one outside
this command center
:37:08
has that information,
gentlemen.
:37:10
when we commissioned
the schmectel corporation
:37:12
to research this precise
event sequence scenario,
:37:16
it was determined that
the continual stockpiling
:37:18
and development
of our nuclear arsenal
:37:19
was becoming
self-defeating.
:37:21
a weapon unused
is a useless weapon.
:37:25
sac-com confirms
:37:26
all defense systems
commitment ready.
:37:28
we have verification.
:37:30
the president is aboard
the airborne command center.
:37:32
I'm sure it will only be
a matter of minutes
:37:36
before the president
commits to total release.
:37:41
jesus christ!
:37:48
you see, we had to show
:37:50
that we had
the technical capability
:37:53
and were determined.
:37:55
history demonstrates
conclusively
:37:59
that naive
wishing for peace
:38:01
is the surest
possible way
:38:04
to encourage
an aggressor.
:38:06
I demand you place me
:38:07
in immediate communication
with the president!
:38:09
relax, mr. ruby.
:38:10
this facility is more than
adequately stocked
:38:12
for a comfortable 17 months
of below-ground existence.
:38:15
we'll be fine.
:38:17
by your actions, sir,
:38:18
you are risking the future
of the human race!
:38:22
to guarantee
the American way of life...
:38:25
I'm willing
to take that risk.
:38:38
it's hard to believe
it's been only 15 minutes
:38:40
since I destroyed
the world.
:38:41
in another 15 minutes,
it will all be over.
:38:46
it's such a short time
to destroy a world.
:38:49
and to think my high school
guidance counselor
:38:50
said I'd never
amount to anything.
:38:52
it just goes to show--
:38:54
guidance! source
programmable guidance!
:38:57
Fitz-Hume! Boyer!
:38:59
get up! get up!
