Someday I'm going to makeyou
Mrs. BuckTurgidson.
:31:06
Oh, listen, you go back to sleep.
:31:09
Buckywill be there as soon as he can.
:31:12
All right. Listen, don't forget
to sayyour prayers.
:31:24
Apparently,
the 23rd Airborne Division...
:31:28
is stationed seven miles away
at Alvarado.
:31:31
General Faceman, I want them to enter
the base, locate General Ripper...
:31:35
and put him in immediate
telephone contact with me.
:31:38
Yes, sir.
:31:39
Mr. President?
:31:41
IfI may advise.
:31:43
Under a condition red, it is standard
procedure that the base be sealed off...
:31:47
and the base defended
by base security troops.
:31:50
Any force trying to enterwould
certainly encounter heavy casualties.
:31:54
General Turgidson, with all due respect
foryour defense team...
:31:58
my boys can brush them aside
without too much trouble.
:32:02
Mr. President, there are one or two
points I'd like to make, ifI may?
:32:08
Go ahead, General.
:32:11
One: Our hopes for recalling
the 843rd Bomb Wing...
:32:16
are quickly being reduced
to a very low order ofprobability.
:32:20
Two: In less than 1 5 minutes
from now...
:32:23
the Ruskies will be making
radar contact with the planes.
:32:26
Three: When they do...
:32:28
theywill go absolutely ape and
strike backwith everything they've got.
:32:32
Four: Ifprior to this time...
:32:36
we have done nothing to suppress
their retaliatory capabilities...
:32:39
we will suffervirtual annihilation.
:32:46
Five: If, on the other hand...
:32:53
we immediately launched an attack
on their airfields and missile bases...
:32:58
we'd stand a damn good chance
ofcatching them with their pants down.
