Quotes 

• General : Is Jackson close enough? Will he vaporize the cold fusion device or detonate it? Tell me, you're the disposal expert.

  Captain Litvak : I've been through simulations before, but not anything like this.

  General : What do I do? Shoot a man?

  Professor Wylie : It's against everything this country stands for. I didn't do anything wrong. He's crazy. Don't you get it?

  Seth Todtman : Shoot him!

  Captain Litvak : Necessity defence -- justifiable homicide. If the lifeboat's going to sink, you can throw people overboard. If the dam's going to break, You can open the floodgates.

  General : The law isn't that clear.

  Captain Litvak : If Jackson's 100 meters off, that nuclear mine may not work. I'm not saying that because it's our lives.

  Seth Todtman : You owe me this!

  General : Professor Wylie. Our nuclear mine blows or his cold fusion device ignites, it's the same result -- you'll die, we'll all die.

  Professor Wylie : You brought me here against my will. I don't have to die! You brought me!

  General : I'm sorry.

  Professor Wylie : No, you can't do this!
