The President: How did you get to be a translator, Buck? You don't seem the academic type. Buck: [nervously] I guess I have a talent for languages, sir. I hear a language once I pick it right up. I don't even know how. They found out about it in the Army. The President: You sound sorry they did. Buck: No, sir. It's a very interesting job. [pauses] Buck: That is, most of the time. The President: Well, you did a good job today, Buck. Buck: Thank you, sir. All I did was repeat what he said. The President: You didn't freeze up. Another man might have. Buck: You're the one who didn't, sir. The President: I wonder what it's like outside? Looked like rain before. Buck: The radio said it would clear by the afternoon.

Defense Secretary Swenson: The President says he may have to order our fighters to shoot down Group Six. He wants our opinion. Prof. Groeteschele: I oppose it, sir, on the grounds that it's premature. Our planes have not yet reached Soviet territory, they're still hundreds of miles away. Brigadier General Warren A. Black: We've got to do it, and fast! Right now before it's too late! Gen. Stark: It might be too late anyway. Those fighters swung away from the bombers when they got the all-clear signal, they've been flying in opposite directions.

Gen. Stark: They're good men, we've seen to that. If their order are to attack, the only way you'll stop them is to shoot them down. Brigadier General Warren A. Black: We've got no alternative! This minute the Russians are watching their boards, trying to figure out what we're up to. If we can't convince them this is an accident we're trying to correct by any means, we're going to have something on our hands that nobody bargained for, something only a lunatic wants!
