McKittrick
General, the machine has locked us out. It's sending random numbers to the silos.
Pat Healy
Codes. To launch the missiles.
General Beringer
Just unplug the goddamn thing! Jesus Christ!
McKittrick
That won't work, General. It would interpret a shutdown as the destruction of NORAD. The computers in the silos would carry out their last instructions. They'd launch.
General Beringer
Can't we disarm the missiles?
Pat Healy
Over a thousand of them? There's no time. At this rate it will hit the launch codes in... 5.3 minutes.
General Beringer
Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks.
McKittrick
I don't have to take that, you pig-eyed sack of shit.
General Beringer
Oh, I was hoping for something a little better than that from you, sir. A man of your education.
Officer
Sir, it's the President.
McKittrick
What are you going to tell him?
General Beringer
That I'm ordering our bombers back to fail-safe; we might have to go through this thing after all. Yes, sir.
