Clips from Dr Strangelove

"I issued instructions for all radios to be impounded."
Dr Strangelove
"You did, and I was in the process of impounding this when I switched it on."
Dr Strangelove
"I'd better tell you because if they do, it'll cause a stink."
Dr Strangelove
"Group Captain, the officer exchange program..."
Dr Strangelove
"does not give you any special prerogatives to question my orders."
Dr Strangelove
"I realize that, sir, but I thought you'd be pleased to hear the news."
Dr Strangelove
"After all, let's face it."
Dr Strangelove
"We don't want to start a nuclear war unless we have to, do we?"
Dr Strangelove
"Please sit down. And turn that thing off."
Dr Strangelove
"Yes, sir."
Dr Strangelove
"The planes are not going to be recalled."
Dr Strangelove
"rather an odd way of looking at it"
Dr Strangelove
"If a Russian attack was in progress..."
Dr Strangelove
"we would certainly not be hearing civilian broadcasting."
Dr Strangelove
"- Are you certain? - I'm absolutely positive."
Dr Strangelove
"What if it is true?"
Dr Strangelove
"then your use of Plan R... In fact, your orders to the entire Wing..."
Dr Strangelove
"I would say, sir, that there was something dreadfully wrong somewhere"
Dr Strangelove
"Why don't you take it easy, Group Captain?"
Dr Strangelove
"and help yourself to whatever you'd like."
Dr Strangelove
"General Ripper, sir, as an officer in Her Majesty's Air Force..."
Dr Strangelove
"it is my clear duty under the present circumstances..."
Dr Strangelove
"Sir, I must ask you for the key and the recall code. Have you got them handy?"
Dr Strangelove
"I told you to take it easy, Group Captain."
Dr Strangelove
"I'm the only person who knows the three-letter code group."
Dr Strangelove
"I must insist that you give them to me!"
Dr Strangelove
"Do I take it, sir, you are threatening a brother officer with a gun?"
Dr Strangelove
"that while we're chatting here so enjoyably..."
Dr Strangelove
"a decision is being made by the president..."
Dr Strangelove
"When they realize there is no possibility of recalling the Wing..."
Dr Strangelove
"there will be only one course of action open."
Dr Strangelove
"No, I don't think I do, sir. No."
Dr Strangelove
"He said war was too important to be left to the generals."
Dr Strangelove
"When he said that 50 years ago..."
Dr Strangelove
"war is too important to be left to politicians."
Dr Strangelove
"nor the inclination for strategic thought."
Dr Strangelove
"Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination..."
Dr Strangelove
"Communist subversion..."
Dr Strangelove
"and the international Communist conspiracy..."
Dr Strangelove
"all of our precious bodily fluids."
Dr Strangelove
"Staines, is everybody here?"
Dr Strangelove
"Mr. President, the secretary of state is in Vietnam."
Dr Strangelove
"The secretary of defense is in Laos, and the vice president is in Mexico City."
Dr Strangelove
"We can establish contact with them at anytime. The undersecretaries are here."
Dr Strangelove
"GeneralJack Ripper, the commanding general..."
Dr Strangelove
"of Burpelson Air Force Base..."
Dr Strangelove
"which were airborne at the time..."
Dr Strangelove
"It appears that the order called for the planes..."
Dr Strangelove
"to attack their targets inside Russia."
Dr Strangelove
"The planes are fully armed with nuclear weapons..."
Dr Strangelove
"with an average load of 40 megatons each."
Dr Strangelove
"The central display of Russia will indicate the position of the planes."
Dr Strangelove
"The triangles are their primary targets."
Dr Strangelove
"The squares are their secondary targets."
Dr Strangelove
"The aircraft will begin penetrating Russian radar cover within 25 minutes."
Dr Strangelove
"General Turgidson, I find this very difficult to understand."
Dr Strangelove
"And although I hate to judge before all the facts are in..."
Dr Strangelove
"It certainly does, far beyond the point I would have imagined possible."
Dr Strangelove
"Perhaps you're forgetting the provisions of Plan R, sir."
Dr Strangelove
"Plan R?"
Dr Strangelove
"in which a lower echelon commander may order..."
Dr Strangelove
"nuclear retaliation after a sneak attack..."
Dr Strangelove
"if the normal chain of command has been disrupted."
Dr Strangelove
"Surely you must recall, sir, when Senator Beaufort made..."
Dr Strangelove
"that big hassle about our deterrent lacking credibility."
Dr Strangelove
"The idea was for Plan R to be a sort of retaliatory safeguard."
Dr Strangelove
"A safeguard?"
Dr Strangelove
"I admit the human element seems to have failed us here."
Dr Strangelove
"they could knock out Washington, and yourself, as part of a sneak attack..."
Dr Strangelove
"and escape retaliation because of lack of proper command and control."
Dr Strangelove
"once they reach their fail-safe points."
Dr Strangelove
"I'm afraid not. The planes were holding at their fail-safe points..."
Dr Strangelove
"when the go code was issued."
Dr Strangelove
"Once they fly beyond fail-safe, they do not require a second order to proceed."
Dr Strangelove
"Then why haven't you radioed the planes, countermanding the go code?"
Dr Strangelove
"We're unable to communicate with any of the aircraft."
Dr Strangelove
"As you may recall, sir..."
Dr Strangelove
"one of the provisions of Plan R provides..."
Dr Strangelove
"that once the go code is received..."
Dr Strangelove
"the normal S.S.B. radios in the aircraft..."
Dr Strangelove
"which I believe is designated as C.R.M. 114."
Dr Strangelove
"In order to prevent the enemy from issuing fake or confusing orders..."
Dr Strangelove
"C.R.M. 114 is designed not to receive at all..."
Dr Strangelove
"unless the message is proceeded by the correct three-letter code group prefix."
Dr Strangelove
"But since there are"
Dr Strangelove
"it's going to take us about two and a half days to transmit them all."
Dr Strangelove
"- About 18 minutes from now. - Are you in contact with General Ripper?"
Dr Strangelove
"No, sir. General Ripper sealed off the base and cut off communications."
Dr Strangelove
"Where did you get this information?"
Dr Strangelove
"shortly after he issued the go code."
Dr Strangelove
"I have a portion of the conversation transcript if you'd like me to read it."
Dr Strangelove
"The duty officer asked General Ripper..."
Dr Strangelove
"For the sake of our country and our way of life..."
Dr Strangelove
"I suggest you get the rest of SAC in after them."
Dr Strangelove
"My boys will give you the best kind of start: 1,400 megatons won'th."
Dr Strangelove
"So let's get going. There 's no other choice."
Dr Strangelove
"God willing, we will prevail in peace and freedom from fear..."
Dr Strangelove
"and essence of our natural..."
Dr Strangelove
"Then he hung up."
Dr Strangelove
"There 's nothing to figure out. This man is obviously a psychotic."
Dr Strangelove
"I'd like to hold off judgment until all the facts are in."
Dr Strangelove
"General Turgidson, when you instituted the human reliability tests..."
Dr Strangelove
"you assured me there was no possibility of such a thing ever occurring."
Dr Strangelove
"Well, I don't think it's fair to condemn a whole program..."
Dr Strangelove
"because of a single slipup, sir."
Dr Strangelove
"I want to speak to General Ripper on the telephone."
Dr Strangelove
"That's impossible."
Dr Strangelove
"General Faceman."
Dr Strangelove
"Yes, sir?"
Dr Strangelove
"Are there any army units stationed near Burpelson?"
Dr Strangelove
"I'll just check, sir."
Dr Strangelove
"Hello?"
Dr Strangelove
"Look, baby, I can't talk to you now."
Dr Strangelove
"My president needs me."
Dr Strangelove
"I deeply respect you as a human being."
Dr Strangelove
"Oh, listen, you go back to sleep."
Dr Strangelove
"All right. Listen, don't forget to say your prayers."
Dr Strangelove
"is stationed seven miles away at Alvarado."
Dr Strangelove
"General Faceman, I want them to enter the base, locate General Ripper..."
Dr Strangelove
"and put him in immediate telephone contact with me."
