:46:00
We're going to
follow the rules of engagement
:46:03
The rules of engagement
which the President
:46:07
has approved and signed
in his order of 23 October
:46:10
Yes
:46:12
You may proceed, Captain
:46:14
Cler your guns
:46:19
Dammit!
:46:20
Stop that firing!
:46:21
What?
:46:22
Stop that firing!
:46:24
Cease fire
:46:26
God help us
:46:30
That ship was firing starshells!
:46:32
Starshells -- Flares, Mr. Secretary!
:46:35
Goddammit, I've got a job to do here!
:46:38
You've been camped out up there
since Monday night
:46:40
You're exhausted
you're making mistakes
:46:43
You interfere with me and
you will get some of my men killed
:46:46
and I will not allow that!
:46:48
Starshells
:46:50
Get out of our way, Mr. Secretart!
:46:53
The navy's been running blockades...
:46:54
since the days of John Paul Jones!
:46:56
I believe the President
made it clear that there will be...
:46:58
no firing on ships
without his express permission
:47:01
With all due respect, Mr. Secretary
:47:04
we were not firing on that ship
:47:06
What was that?
:47:07
Firing on a ship
means attacking a ship!
:47:09
We were not attacking that ship!
:47:12
We were firing over it!
:47:14
That was not the President's intention
when he gave that order
:47:17
What if the Soviets
don't see the distinction?
:47:19
What if they make the same mistake
I just made?
:47:23
There will be no firing anything
near any Soviet ships
:47:24
without my express permission!
:47:28
Is that understood, Admiral?
:47:31
Is it?
:47:34
Yes, sir
:47:36
And I will only
issue such instructions...
:47:38
when ordered to by the President!
:47:43
John Paul Jones!
:47:46
You don't understand a thing
do you, Admiral?
:47:48
This is not a blockade!
:47:50
This is language!
:47:53
A new vocabulary, the likes of
which the world has never seen!
:47:56
This is President Kennedy
communicating with Secretary Krushcev
