:18:00
What is this gonna say
to the Russians?
:18:01
They look warlike?
:18:03
Jesus Christ
we're lighting off nuclear weapons
:18:05
like it's our own
private Fourth of July
:18:07
You know what?
:18:08
We should have brought in the guys
from the Atomic Energy Commission
:18:12
and talked this through
:18:14
Looked at these tests a little harder
:18:17
before just giving the go-ahead
:18:21
You know, last summer I read a book
"The Guns of August"
:18:25
I wish every man on that blockade line
had read that book
:18:29
It's World War One
:18:30
There's thirteen million killed
:18:32
It's all because the militaries
of both alliances believed
:18:33
that they were so highly
attuned to one another's movements
:18:36
and dispositions, they could
predict one another's intentions
:18:39
But all their theories
were based on the last war
:18:42
And the world
and technology had changed
:18:44
and those lessons
were no longer valid
:18:46
But it was all they knew
:18:48
so the orders went out
:18:50
couldn't be rescinded
:18:55
The man in the field, his family
at home, they couldn't even tell
:18:57
the reasons
why their lives were being destroyed
:19:03
But why couldn't they stop it?
:19:06
What could they have done?
:19:08
Here we are 50 years later
:19:11
Say one of their ships
resists the inspection
:19:15
and we shoot out its rudder
:19:17
and board
:19:19
They shoot down
one of our planes in response
:19:22
So we bomb their anti-aircraft sites
in response to that
:19:27
They attack Berlin
:19:31
So we invade Cuba
:19:36
And they fire their missiles
:19:49
Helen, I want you
to keep the kids close tomorrow
:19:53
I want you to leave the TV on
:19:56
I want you to sleep with it on
in the bedroom
:19:59
until I call you
and tell you can turn it off
