McKittrick:
General, the machine has locked us out. It's sending random numbers to the silos.

Pat Healy:
Codes. To launch the missiles.

General Beringer:
Just unplug the goddamn thing! Jesus Christ!

McKittrick:
That won't work, General. It would interpret a shutdown as the destruction of NORAD. The computers in the silos would carry out their last instructions. They'd launch.

General Beringer:
Can't we disarm the missiles?

Pat Healy:
Over a thousand of them? There's no time. At this rate it will hit the launch codes in... 5.3 minutes.

General Beringer:
Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks.

McKittrick:
I don't have to take that, you pig-eyed sack of sh*t.

General Beringer:
Oh, I was hoping for something a little better than that from you, sir. A man of your education.

Officer:
Sir, it's the President.

[McKittrick looks at Beringer]

McKittrick:
What are you going to tell him?

General Beringer:
That I'm ordering our bombers back to fail-safe; we might have to go through this thing after all. [talks into the phone] Yes, sir.
