:04:01
I guess I get to keep my job
:04:06
No
:04:07
It was a really good speech
:04:09
I can't imagine what you did
with the air strikes version

:04:16
I wasn't able to write, Kenny
:04:21
It's kind of hard
to write the unthinkable

:04:24
I tried, I just...
:04:30
I couldn't
:04:35
We're getting the Soviet response
:04:37
It's coming in on the teletype
:04:41
"The community of nations recognizes"
:04:42
"the fundamental right
of freedom of the seas... "

:04:45
THis is horseshit
:04:47
I agree
:04:55
They don't know how to respond yet
:04:59
So now you're Kruschev
:05:02
What do you do?
:05:08
You run the blockade
:05:11
They'll run the blockade
:05:12
Which is what they appear to
be preparing to do, Mr. President

:05:16
We're tracking 26 ships
inbound for Cuba

:05:19
They show no sign of changing course
:05:21
The closest ships
the Gagarin and the Kimovsk

:05:24
will make the quarantine line
by this time tomorrow

:05:26
Admiral Anderson
if the ships do not stop

:05:30
exactly what are
our rules of engagement?

:05:32
Russian- speaking personnel
have been transferred to our ships

:05:36
When the quarantine
takes place in the morning

:05:38
our ships will attempt radio contact
with approaching vessels

:05:42
They'll be ordered to reduce speed
and stand by for inspection

:05:46
An inspection team will then
board and search the vessel

:05:49
If weapons are found, the ship will be
ordered out of the quarantine area

:05:52
If they refuse
:05:54
they'll be towed into the nearest port
:05:56
What if the ship doesn't stop
for inspection or want to be towed?

:05:59
We fire a warning shot
across their bow
