Quotes
-
Bruni : Your father was Nikolai Zubov. Commanded the 1st Submarine Brigade of the Baltic Fleet.
Demi : That's right. Make your heading 1-7-5.
Bavenod : 1-7-5, aye, sir.
Bruni : This man's father wrote the book on submarine warfare.
Pavlov : The legacy of the captain's family is very well known throughout the Navy.
Bruni : Awarded a "Hero of the Soviet Union" for sinking the Kriegsmarine ship Goya during the war. Do I have that right?
Alex : Gentlemen, we're in the middle of operations.
Demi : He was decorated, yeah.
Bruni : Sent 6,000 miserable Wehrmacht and Nazi sympathizers to the bottom of Gdansk Bay. If the acorn doesn't fall too far from the tree, our captain should be able to dodge a Yank sub or two.
-
Sonar Operator : Conn, surface contact, 11,000 meters, bearing 1-9-5.
Demi : Very well. Classification?
Sonar Operator : Big and slow. Probably a merchant.
Demi : Five degree left rudder.
Alex : [relaying the order] Five degree left rudder.
Bruni : Stop the drill, Captain.
Demi : Why?
Pavlov : 'Cause our orders require us to take tactical advantage of the testing opportunities for the classified onboard equipment.
Bruni : Captain, I need you to put us under that ship.
Alex : We have men below.
Bruni : Then you should get them out.
-
Pavlov : These are technicians from the Special Projects Institute. They'll be joining us on this cruise.
Alex : They're testing some kind of prototype equipment.
Demi : Have you ever been to sea before?
Bruni : Oh, we've spent some time on ships, yes.
Alex : Skimmer's a vacation, Mr...?
Bruni : Bruni.
Alex : Mr. Bruni. This ship barely accommodates the 86 men required to sail her.
Bruni : We'll try to stay out of your way, then.
Alex : Yeah, good luck with that.
Demi : Mr. Pavlov will show you to your berths. Stow your gear. We'll sail with the tide.
Bruni : Captain. It's good to see you again.
-
Pavlov : Noisemakers blind the Americans, but they blind us, too.
Alex : Captain, entering the thermocline.
Pavlov : The temperature inversion reflects American sonar, so they won't be able to hear us.
Garin : Won't they follow us?
Demi : They'll pick a bearing and make a guess. Their chances are 1 in 360.
-
Alex : [reading their orders to the crew] From Squadron Commander Vladimir Markov: "To the crew of B-67: proceed south to patrol box Lima-Foxtrot and monitor American naval activities. When conditions permit, commence systems testing of classified equipment for operational readiness, maintaining alert status. Returning to Rybachi on or about June 6th." This is the executive officer.
Demi : Greg, you may post the orders in the enlisted men's mess.
Pavlov : Aye, sir.
Alex : [as Pavlov leaves] What conditions?
-
Pavlov : How is it, after all this time, you and I end up on a boat older than most of the men sailing her?
Demi : Well, this boat is reprisal for the benefit of Squadron Commander Markov's amusement.
Pavlov : Reprisal for what?
Demi : The "what" is well understood by the Admiral and myself.
Pavlov : What was her name?
Demi : Sophi. I married her.
-
Pavlov : That was superb sailing. But I'm not sure Alex would have made the same call.
Demi : Well, some younger officers... aren't comfortable working near the margins.
Pavlov : He needs to be more careful around the OSNAZ. They have connections that can just as easily land him in the gulag as on his own submarine.
-
Pavlov : You realize this is supposed to be your patrol.
Alex : Well, if it was supposed to be mine, I'd be the captain.
Pavlov : Well, as far as we know, the Party already knows about this and wants to see how you perform under pressure.
Alex : Oh, yeah? How am I doing?
Pavlov : That man has a nuclear firing key.
Alex : And you and I have the other two.
Pavlov : Captain Kozlov...
Alex : [pushing him against a bulkhead] If you're ready to relieve the commanding officer of a Soviet ballistic missile submarine, your captain and your friend, because he fainted... then you go right ahead. I'll be in Sonar.
-
Pavlov : Always the rebel, Demi. I mean, don't you think that vodka would be more in keeping with a servant of the Soviet navy?
-
Pavlov : You didn't like Bruni's orders, either. That confuses me.
Demi : Following orders confuses you?
Pavlov : You not questioning them confuses me.
Demi : Well, like you say, one must take care around OSNAZ.
Pavlov : Instinct worth sharing with your executive officer.
Demi : Which I'm sure you'll do at the first opportunity.
-
Sonar Operator : [as the Phantom is engaged] What the hell are we doing?
[an alarm sounds]
Sonar Operator : Son of a... conn, sonar. American is turning to intercept.
Demi : Battle stations.
Alex : Battle stations. Aye. Rig for battle stations. This is not a drill.
Demi : Rear torpedo, stand by on tubes five and six. Sonar, conn. What's that ship doing?
Sonar Operator : She's falling in behind us, sir.
Demi : Has she opened her doors?
Sonar Operator : Not yet, sir.
Demi : You ever start a war, Mr. Bruni? Because if she even blinks, I'm gonna put a fish into her. Any ROE I need to know about before I sink this son of a bitch?
Bruni : That's "rules of engagement."
Pavlov : I know what an ROE is. Any hostile action may be with force at your discretion.
Demi : Well, at least we agree it's hostile.
-
Pavlov : [after the Phantom is tested] So the Americans thought they were following the Panamanian tanker.
Bruni : Yes.
Garin : We've turned their own technology against them.
Pavlov : Perfect countermeasure.
Bruni : Any ship equipped with the device becomes a phantom. Soon, we'll have acoustic signatures from ships all over the world. The Americans will run in circles.
Alex : Our engines were running. We were making noise, too. Besides, the strength of a sonar echo is directly proportional to the size of a ship. And, uh, we're not exactly a freighter.
Bruni : The Phantom magnifies the echo, making us appear any size we want.
Bruni : The genius of the algorithm is how it makes us invisible to active sonar and enables us to mask ourselves as any ship we like. We should all be very proud of what we've accomplished here today, gentlemen.
Pavlov : [raising his drink] To the Phantom.
-
Demi : I'm sure Squadron Command will be pleased that the device is operational.
Bruni : Of course.
Demi : As protocol dictates, we'll send word to Fleet as soon as we reach our reporting point.
Bruni : Protocol is the political officer's purview, would you agree, Mr. Pavlov?
Pavlov : I agree that Fleet would be pleased.
Demi : Mr. Pavlov is one of the most diplomatic political officers in the Navy.
Bruni : A contradiction in terms.
Demi : That's what I keep trying to tell him.
Pavlov : I assure you that my intentions are purely that of the State and the Party.
Bruni : [quasi-sarcastic] Well, thank goodness.
-
Pavlov : I suppose you think it's sporting to embarrass me in front of the KGB.
Demi : It wasn't personal, Greg.
Pavlov : Why did you feel the need to say so?
Demi : You give me a direct answer, and I won't have to guess at what you mean.
Pavlov : What was the question?
Demi : If you agree we should report to Fleet.
Pavlov : What are you worried about? This is an historic moment.
Demi : Well, nonetheless, as officers of a ship that could trigger the end of the world, I think we should consider all scenarios.
Pavlov : What scenarios?
Alex : If the Americans can't track us with all their money and technology... then our boats can't track us, either. It means it wouldn't be hard to alter the purpose of this ship.
Pavlov : So you're saying they're some rogue Spetsnaz force?
Demi : I'm saying a message from Fleet would answer a lot of questions.
Pavlov : Well, as political officer on this boat and as your friend, it's my duty to tell you that if you even imply treasonous intent of elite KGB officers without proper evidence or cause, you will be put up for charges of misconduct of the Code of Military Justice.
Demi : Sometimes a man has to pick a side, Greg.
Pavlov : Well, then you should pick wisely. Because if you're wrong... this will haunt you and your families... for the rest of your lives. And it won't matter who your father is.
Alex : [Pavlov leaves] Well, that was uncalled for.
Demi : It's not his fault. He was trained to fear everything.
Dr. Semak : Yeah, still, I think we should take him at his word.
Demi : How so?
Dr. Semak : OSNAZ don't work for the military or the central government. Their orders come from the most zealous elements of the KGB. They can destroy you, Demi. They can destroy all of us.
-
Demi : Radio, conn. Prepare to send microburst transmission.
Bruni : Our orders are to proceed to our patrol box.
Demi : Well, as soon as we make our position report and confirm our orders, we'll do that.
Garin : Sending a transmission will alert the Americans of our position.
Alex : 50 meters.
Demi : Continue. You can turn your gadget on and we can run away again. We seem to be pretty good at that.
Bruni : The Phantom device can't mask a radio broadcast. Our mission objectives would be compromised.
Demi : What are our mission objectives?
Pavlov : To remain undetected, of course.
Alex : We have countermeasures, procedures to ensure our stealth. 30 meters, Captain.
Demi : Continue.
Bruni : This is an unacceptable risk.
Demi : Protocol dictates encrypted progress transmissions are sent to Fleet Command at predetermined waypoints.
[Pavlov begins to argue]
Demi : Are you saying something to me?
Pavlov : You have authority to make status reports at your discretion.
Demi : In a time of war, yes, I do. You know something I don't?
-
Bruni : Stop the ascent.
Demi : Continue.
Pavlov : Stop the ascent, Captain!
Demi : Mr. Pavlov, if you contradict me again, I'll have you chained to the forward head.
Alex : Ten meters.
Demi : Stand by for microburst transmission.
Bruni : I can't allow you to do that.
Demi : Officer of the deck, escort Mr. Bruni to his cabin and lock him to his bunk.
Garin : [cocking a pistol] Somebody dive the boat or I'll shoot the captain.
Alex : Dive the boat. Bow planes 20 degrees down.
Pavlov : Gentlemen, I'm sure if we let the captain think...
Demi : I don't have anything to think over.
-
Demi : Maybe now would be a good time for you to tell me just what the hell it is we're doing, Mr. Bruni.
Bruni : Have you heard of an American program called Dark Star?
[Demi shakes his head]
Bruni : It's a fully synchronized system of endoatmospheric antiballistic missiles guided by a highly accurate radar.
Sonar Operator : Torpedo, 700 meters.
Demi : Copy that.
Bruni : If the Americans launch a first strike, all our land-based missiles would be taken out even before they can be fueled.
Demi : That's why we have submarines and bombers.
Bruni : That's why they developed Dark Star. It's a radar array that guides and detonates atomic missiles in the ionosphere.
Pavlov : An electromagnetic pulse weapon.
Bruni : Yes. It'll take down everything our surviving submarines and aircraft can get up. They've tested it and it's fully operational. Not a single American city would be hit.
Pavlov : If there's no consequences for attacking us, what's their incentive for peace?
Bruni : There is none.
-
Bruni : Open the safe!
Demi : What good is that gonna do?
Bruni : There's an encrypted watermark on the ship's orders with an alternate launch code. Do not test me!
Pavlov : Demi... don't open it.
[Bruni shoots him]
Dr. Semak : No!
Pavlov : [weakly, as he's lowered to the ground] Sometimes you gotta pick a side.
Dr. Semak : [Bruni grabs him] For God's sake, Demi, do not open that...
[Bruni shoots him, too]
Demi : No!
Bruni : I have a bullet for every man on this ship, Captain, including you. Now open the god damn safe.
Demi : You son of a bitch!
Sonar Operator : [calling on the radio] Contact, bearing 0-6-0, 1,500 meters. It's the November, sir.
Bruni : That's why you left them alive.
Demi : Contingencies.
