Thirteen Days2000

Kenny O'Donnell:
I got a bad feeling about what's going on in there!

President Kennedy:
In the morning I'm taking charge of the blockade from the situation room and Macnamara is gonna set up shop at the flagpot at the Pentagon and keep an eye on things there.

Kenny O'Donnell:
Good. Because you've got armed boarders climbing onto Soviet ships, and shots being fired across bows!

President Kennedy:
I know. I know.

Kenny O'Donnell:
Well, what about these low level flights?

President Kennedy:
We need the flights.

Kenny O'Donnell:
They're starting them when?

President Kennedy:
An hour.

Kenny O'Donnell:
An hour. You realise what you're getting yourself in for?

President Kennedy:
Kenny, no, we need the flights, because the minute that first missile becomes operational we gotta go in there and destroy it.

Kenny O'Donnell:
Fair enough. But Castro's on alert and we're flying attack planes over their sites, on the deck! There's no way for them to know we're carrying cameras not bombs.

President Kennedy:
God damn it!

Kenny O'Donnell:
They're gonna be shot at, plain and simple.
