Jordan Bridges: Sonar Operator
Quotes
-
Sonar Operator : Conn, surface contact, 11,000 meters, bearing 1-9-5.
Demi : Very well. Classification?
Sonar Operator : Big and slow. Probably a merchant.
Demi : Five degree left rudder.
Alex : [relaying the order] Five degree left rudder.
Bruni : Stop the drill, Captain.
Demi : Why?
Pavlov : 'Cause our orders require us to take tactical advantage of the testing opportunities for the classified onboard equipment.
Bruni : Captain, I need you to put us under that ship.
Alex : We have men below.
Bruni : Then you should get them out.
-
Demi : Sonar, one active ping for ranging, on my mark.
Sonar Operator : Standing by, captain. One ping for range.
Bruni : With sound being the enemy, won't that alert the Americans to our position?
Demi : Americans already know our position. I'd just like to avoid running into 'em.
-
Sonar Operator : It's a skipjack, sir. And he's going someplace in a big damn hurry.
Alex : Have they seen us yet?
Sonar Operator : I don't think so. She's moving too fast to hear anybody, that's for sure.
-
Sonar Operator : [as the Phantom is engaged] What the hell are we doing?
[an alarm sounds]
Sonar Operator : Son of a... conn, sonar. American is turning to intercept.
Demi : Battle stations.
Alex : Battle stations. Aye. Rig for battle stations. This is not a drill.
Demi : Rear torpedo, stand by on tubes five and six. Sonar, conn. What's that ship doing?
Sonar Operator : She's falling in behind us, sir.
Demi : Has she opened her doors?
Sonar Operator : Not yet, sir.
Demi : You ever start a war, Mr. Bruni? Because if she even blinks, I'm gonna put a fish into her. Any ROE I need to know about before I sink this son of a bitch?
Bruni : That's "rules of engagement."
Pavlov : I know what an ROE is. Any hostile action may be with force at your discretion.
Demi : Well, at least we agree it's hostile.
-
Bruni : What was that noise?
Demi : I don't know... Captain. What'd you run us into?
Bruni : You're in no position to understand the events unfolding around you.
Demi : I understand you've seized this vessel without authority.
Sonar Operator : [calling on the radio] You'd better get up here. We have a contact bearing down on us at almost 40 knots.
Bruni : American?
Sonar Operator : No. It's one of ours.
Demi : Well, if I were you, skipper, I'd sound battle stations.
-
Sonar Operator : Conn, sonar. Two fish in the water, 1,000 meters.
Demi : [Bruni cocks a pistol] You can shoot me and I'll see you in hell... in about 90 seconds.
-
Demi : [submerging to crush depth] Sonar, conn. Where's the November?
Sonar Operator : She's right on top of us, sir.
Bruni : Now what?
Demi : We wait.
-
Sonar Operator : The November's slowing. It's the K-123.
Demi : [to Bruni] Oh, that's Constantine Gubin's boat. You should be flattered. He's the most decorated hunter-killer in the fleet.
-
Sonar Operator : Conn, sonar. November's 2,000 meters and closing.
Garin : The November's lining up to take a shot.
Demi : Appears our government doesn't approve your plan.
-
Demi : You ever been in America?
Bruni : No. Have you?
Demi : Yeah, my wife was a dancer. I was allowed to accompany her to New York City in an arts exchange.
Sonar Operator : The November's opening her outer doors.
Demi : Unless you know some naval combat tactics, Mr. Bruni, this situation is gonna get ugly.
Bruni : All right, Captain. You have the ship.
-
Demi : [being pursued by another sub] Sound battle stations. Aft torpedoes, prepare countermeasures. Load tube seven with a decoy. This is the captain. Sonar, one active ping for range, on my mark.
Sonar Operator : Aye, Captain.
Garin : What are you doing?
Demi : Letting them know they're in for a fight.
-
Demi : Maybe now would be a good time for you to tell me just what the hell it is we're doing, Mr. Bruni.
Bruni : Have you heard of an American program called Dark Star?
[Demi shakes his head]
Bruni : It's a fully synchronized system of endoatmospheric antiballistic missiles guided by a highly accurate radar.
Sonar Operator : Torpedo, 700 meters.
Demi : Copy that.
Bruni : If the Americans launch a first strike, all our land-based missiles would be taken out even before they can be fueled.
Demi : That's why we have submarines and bombers.
Bruni : That's why they developed Dark Star. It's a radar array that guides and detonates atomic missiles in the ionosphere.
Pavlov : An electromagnetic pulse weapon.
Bruni : Yes. It'll take down everything our surviving submarines and aircraft can get up. They've tested it and it's fully operational. Not a single American city would be hit.
Pavlov : If there's no consequences for attacking us, what's their incentive for peace?
Bruni : There is none.
-
Bruni : Open the safe!
Demi : What good is that gonna do?
Bruni : There's an encrypted watermark on the ship's orders with an alternate launch code. Do not test me!
Pavlov : Demi... don't open it.
[Bruni shoots him]
Dr. Semak : No!
Pavlov : [weakly, as he's lowered to the ground] Sometimes you gotta pick a side.
Dr. Semak : [Bruni grabs him] For God's sake, Demi, do not open that...
[Bruni shoots him, too]
Demi : No!
Bruni : I have a bullet for every man on this ship, Captain, including you. Now open the god damn safe.
Demi : You son of a bitch!
Sonar Operator : [calling on the radio] Contact, bearing 0-6-0, 1,500 meters. It's the November, sir.
Bruni : That's why you left them alive.
Demi : Contingencies.
