Captain Ramius: It reminds me of the heady days of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin when the world trembled at the sound of our rockets. Now they will tremble again - at the sound of our silence. The order is: engage the silent drive.

Jeffrey Pelt: Listen, I'm a politician which means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies I'm stealing their lollipops. But it also means I keep my options open.

Jeffrey Pelt: You slammed the door on the General pretty hard, didn't you? Jack Ryan: That was not my intention. Jeffrey Pelt: Oh, yes, it was! He was patronizing you, and you stomped on him! And in my opinion, he deserved it!

Adm. Painter: What's his plan? Jack Ryan: His plan? Adm. Painter: Russians don't take a dump, son, without a plan.

Jack Ryan: [imitating the Admiral] "The average Rooskie, son, don't take a dump without a plan." Wait a minute. We don't have to figure out how to get the crew off the sub. He's already done that, he would have had to. All we gotta do is figure out what he's gonna do. So how's he gonna get the crew of the sub. They have to want to get off. How do you get a crew to want to get off a submarine? How do you get a crew to want to get off a nuclear sub... [eureka!]

Captain Tupolev: We're going to kill a friend, Yvgeni. We're going to kill Raimus.

[Russian midshipmen see the Dallas jumping out of the water] Russian midshipman: [in Russian] Captain's scared them out of the water! [the Russians cheer]

Jack Ryan: Is there a way you could get me on board the Dallas? Admiral Josh Painter: What the hell for? Jack Ryan: I think that Captain Mancuso has found the Red October.
14
Admiral James Greer: [after the meeting where Jack Ryan has just explained - quite boldly - his theory that Capt. Raimus is defecting] I told you to speak your mind Jack, but Jesus [laughing a little] Admiral James Greer: ...!

[Jack Ryan, in US Navy Commander uniform, exits after meeting the Admiral and Captain of the carrier] Admiral Josh Painter: You think he's crazy? Captain Davenport: Certifiable. And no matter what his credentials, I don't care for him wearing the uniform. Admiral Josh Painter: You see that ring on his finger? The Academy, Class of '72. A Marine. Captain Davenport: You're kidding! How did you... Admiral Josh Painter: Greer told me. Summer of his third year, he and his squad went down in a chopper accident in the Med. Bad - pilot, crew killed. That kid spent ten months in traction, another year learning to walk again. Did his fourth year from the hospital. Now it's up to you, Charlie, but you might consider cuttin' the kid a little slack.

Seaman Jones: COB, we don't have time for sea stories. I was just teaching Seaman Beaumont, here, the intracacies of modern sonar, now... Watson: [chuckling] Yea, and I ain't Chief Of the Boat, I'm actually Sheena, queen of the jungle!
17
[about Ramius] Jack Ryan: Has he made any Crazy Ivans? Capt. Bart Mancuso: What difference does that make? Jack Ryan: Because his next one is going to be to starboard. Capt. Bart Mancuso: Why? Because his last was to port? Jack Ryan: No. Because he always goes to starboard in the bottom half of the hour. [Mancuso looks at a clock, and sees it's near the half-hour mark]
18
Captain Ramius: There's one thing you haven't yet asked me: why? Jack Ryan: Well, I thought you would tell me when you felt ready. Captain Ramius: Well, there are those who believe that we should attack the United States first. Settle everything in one moment. Red October was built for that purpose.

[telling young Sonarman Beaumont about Jones's most embarrassing moment] Watson: Seaman Jones here is into music in a big way, and he views this whole boat as his own personal, private stereo set. Well, one day he's got this piece of Pavarotti... Seaman Jones: It was Paganini. Watson: Whatever. Seaman Jones: It was Paganini. Watson: Look, this is my story, okay? Seaman Jones: Then tell it right, COB. Pavarotti is a tenor, Paganini was a composer. Watson: So anyway, he's got this music out in the water, and he's listening to it on his headsets, and he's just happy as a clam. And then all hell breaks loose. See, there's this whole slew of boats out in the water... Seaman Jones: Including one WAY out at Pearl! Watson: Including one way the hell out at Pearl. All of a sudden, they start hearing, Pavarotti... Beaumont: Pavarotti! Watson: Coming up their asses!

Capt. Bart Mancuso: All back full. Lt. Cmdr. Thompson: Captain... Capt. Bart Mancuso: I said, all back full! Lt. Cmdr. Thompson: Back full, aye. [the Dallas reverses, churning the water] Seaman Jones: Captain, we're cavitating, he can hear us! Capt. Bart Mancuso: Conn, aye. All right, Ryan, we just unzipped our fly. Mr. Thompson! Open the outer doors, firing point procedures. Now if that bastard so much as twitches, I'm going to blow him straight to Mars.
21
Jack Ryan: Where are we going, anyway? Admiral James Greer: Briefing for Jeffrey Pelt, the President's National Security Advisor. Most of the Joint Chiefs will be there, along with a few other people. Jack Ryan: Who's giving the briefing? Admiral James Greer: You are.
22
Capt. Bart Mancuso: [after hearing Jones's findings] Have I got this straight, Jonesy? A $40 million computer tells you you're chasing an earthquake, but you don't believe, and you come up with this on your own? Seaman Jones: Yes, sir. Capt. Bart Mancuso: Including all the navigation maps? Seaman Jones: Sir, I-I've got all the - Capt. Bart Mancuso: Relax, Jonesy. You sold me.
23
Ambassador Andrei Lysenko: There is another matter... one I'm reluctant to ... Dr. Jeffrey Pelt: Please. Ambassador Andrei Lysenko: One of our submarines, an Alfa, was last reported in the area of the Grand Banks. We have not heard from her for some time. Dr. Jeffrey Pelt: Andrei, you've lost another submarine?
