:00:03
That ship was firing starshells!
:00:05
Starshells -- Flares, Mr. Secretary!
:00:08
Goddammit, I've got a job to do here!
:00:10
You've been camped out up there
since Monday night
:00:12
You're exhausted
you're making mistakes
:00:16
You interfere with me and
you will get some of my men killed
:00:18
and I will not allow that!
:00:21
Starshells
:00:22
Get out of our way, Mr. Secretart!
:00:25
The navy's been running blockades...
:00:27
since the days of John Paul Jones!
:00:29
I believe the President
made it clear that there will be...
:00:30
no firing on ships
without his express permission
:00:34
With all due respect, Mr. Secretary
:00:36
we were not firing on that ship
:00:38
What was that?
:00:40
Firing on a ship
means attacking a ship!
:00:42
We were not attacking that ship!
:00:44
We were firing over it!
:00:46
That was not the President's intention
when he gave that order
:00:50
What if the Soviets
don't see the distinction?
:00:52
What if they make the same mistake
I just made?
:00:55
There will be no firing anything
near any Soviet ships
:00:57
without my express permission!
:01:00
Is that understood, Admiral?
:01:04
Is it?
:01:07
Yes, sir
:01:08
And I will only
issue such instructions...
:01:10
when ordered to by the President!
:01:15
John Paul Jones!
:01:18
You don't understand a thing
do you, Admiral?
:01:21
This is not a blockade!
:01:23
This is language!
:01:26
A new vocabulary, the likes of
which the world has never seen!
:01:29
This is President Kennedy
communicating with Secretary Krushcev
:01:42
(Atlas Missile Launch Vandenberg, AFB)
:01:46
Who the hell
authorized this missile test?
:01:48
Who do you think?
:01:50
God knows what this is
gonna communicate to the Soviets
:01:52
Communicate with the Soviets?
:01:54
We can't communitcate
with the Pentagon
:01:56
and it's just across the goddam river
:01:58
LaMay must think you're afraid of him
