Crimson Tide Page #4

[All] Roll tide!

Chief of the boat,

dismiss the crew.

Dismiss the crew.

Aye, aye, sir.

Crew! Department heads!

Attend to your departments!

- Fall out!

- [Men Cheering]

Here. Part of your qualification

for command.

[Sighs]

The last breath of polluted air

for the next 65 days.

Gonna miss it.

I don't trust air I can't see.

[Chuckles]

[Ramsey] This is my favorite part.

Right here, right now.

Bravo, Hunter.

Sir?

You knew to shut up

and enjoy the view.

Most eggheads want

to talk it away.

Your stock just went up

a couple of points.

Thank you, sir.

Allow me to give you

a tiny bit of advice.

If you want

your own boat someday...

the very worst thing you can do is worry

about yourself or try to impress me.

I can't stand save-asses,

and I won't abide kiss-asses.

You keep your priorities straight:

Your mission and your men.

How you like that cigar?

- It's good, sir.

- It's your first.

Yeah.

[Coughing]

[Chuckling] Don't like it too much.

They're more expensive than drugs.

X.O., take her down.

Take her down.

Aye, sir.

Control/Bridge:

Sounding.

Bridge/Control:

Sounding 130 fathoms.

[Men's Choir Singing]

- Lookouts, clear the bridge.

- Clear the bridge. Aye, sir.

Officer of the deck,

prepare to dive.

- Captain down.

- Captain is down.

[Dive Alarm Ringing]

[Men's Choir]

- X.O. Down.

- X.O. Is down.

[Choir Continues]

- Submerge the ship.

- Diving Officer, submerge the ship.

- Make your depth 150 feet.

- Make my depth 150 feet. Aye, sir.

Chief of the watch,

on the 1MC, dive, dive!

Make your depth 150 feet.

Five degree down bubble.

- [Zimmer] I don't understand.

- [Dougherty] You don't understand?

Radchenko is a fanatic, okay?

He's a potential Hitler.

- Somebody should just shoot him.

- I have no problem with that.

- Good.

- Well, it's fanatics who make history.

- Colonel Patton was a fanatic.

- That's what made him great.

[Linkletter]

You think this guy is Patton?

He's a dangerous lunatic, threatening

nuclear war, and he means it.

What's that make us, since we're the

only nation to ever drop a nuclear bomb?

It makes us a prime target.

There's a half a dozen...

other Third World countries with

atom bombs who'd love to drop one on us.

[Dougherty] That's right.

That's why we should drop one on them.

Are you a communist? You have a problem

with us dropping nuclear bombs on Japan?

- Shut up, Dougherty.

- You think it was a mistake, Mr. Hunter?

Sir?

Using the bomb

on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

- Well, if I thought that,

sir, I wouldn't be here.

- [Ramsey Laughing]

- Interesting way you put that.

- How'd I put it, sir?

Very carefully.

[Men Laughing]

You do qualify your remarks.
