Reporter:
I'm going to place a long distance call to Los Angeles.
Air Force Major: [resets the phone]
Who are you calling?
Reporter:
The press! This is big news! The sound barrier's finally been broken!
Air Force Major:
No, sir, no press!
Reporter:
What?
Air Force Major:
No word of this going beyond the flight-line!
Reporter: [inserts a coin]
Hey, come on, now! This is big news! We need coverage for this!
Air Force Major:
No, sir, sorry! No press! Those are orders. National security.
Reporter:
But the war's over!
Air Force Major:
Well, look, pal. Maybe they don't want someone to know.
Reporter:
Who?
Air Force Major:
The Russians, maybe.
Reporter:
The Russians?! They're our allies!
Air Force Major:
Well, anyway, somebody wanted it that way. And that's the way it is.
