Airman
You know what that means, don't you? Either we fired first and they're going to try to hit what's left, or they fired first and we just got our missiles out of the ground in time. Either way, we're going to get hit.
Airman Billy McCoy
So what are we still standing around here for?
Sergeant
Where do you want to go?
Airman Billy McCoy
Well, how about out of here for starters? I've got to get my wife and my kid!
Sergeant
We're still on alert, Billy! No one leaves this facility. Not until the choppers get here to take us back to Whiteman and to the shelters...
Airman Billy McCoy
Are you kidding me, man? The bombs will be here before the choppers will! Listen to me. Listen to me, man. The war is over! It's over. We've done our job. So what are you still guarding? Huh? Some cotton-pickin hole in the ground all dressed up and nowhere to go?
[cutting him off]
Airman
He's right!
Airman Tommy
What about Starr and Boyle?
Sergeant
What about them?
Airman Tommy
What are they doing?
Airman Billy McCoy
Yeah, they're 60 feet down, sipping on some cold beer and whistling "Misty"!
Airman Tommy
Well I'm going down there!
Sergeant
You can't go down there! That elevator is secure!
Airman Billy McCoy
Do you hear yourself talking, bozo? Cause I hear you saying that we've got direct orders to be sitting ducks!
