Major, a few days ago
the President ordered me to...
:15:03
help him keep control of
what's going on out there
:15:07
I've been brow-beating pilots
navy guys left and right
:15:12
to make sure you don't get us here
in Washington into trouble
:15:16
But you know what?
:15:19
We're pretty damn good ourselves
at getting into trouble
:15:23
So instead of riding your ass
:15:26
I'm just gonna tell you
what's going on here
:15:27
and let you figure out
how best to help us out up here
:15:29
Go ahead, sir
:15:32
Last night, it looked like
:15:34
we were gonna cut a deal
to get us all out of this mess
:15:37
Today the Soviets are reneging
:15:40
We're gonna try
and salvage the situation
:15:42
but a lot of things
are going wrong today
:15:47
It's making everyone nervous
:15:50
If more things go wrong
people will become more nervous
:15:53
and it will be very hard
to aviod going to war
:15:58
I'm not sure
what you're trying to tell me, sir
:16:00
Just my standard line
:16:02
I've been repeating
to guys like you all week
:16:06
Don't get shot down
:16:10
Beyond that
:16:11
whatever else you can do to help us
I'd appreciate it
:16:14
Sir
:16:19
When you're at 72, 000 feet
a million things can go wrong
:16:24
Is your Oxygen mix right?
Are your cameras gonna freeze up?
:16:28
Are you leaving a contrail?
:16:29
Those million things
they're beyond your control, mostly
:16:33
But...
:16:36
when you realize that
:16:38
there's a kind of peace
:16:40
If you're a good man
and if your ground crew are good men
:16:43
that is all you can ask for
:16:45
And with the grace of God
that'll get you through
:16:49
Are you a religious man?
:16:51
I am
:16:54
Good
