Upenskoy:
Gant, can you fly that plane? Really fly it?

Maj. Gant:
Yeah, I can fly it. I'm the best there is.

Maj. Gant:
Let's see what this thing can do.

Col. Voskov:
The American is a dead man, First Secretary.

Riga Technician:
Target is not taking avoiding action, Capitain!

Captain of the Riga:
He will!

Dr. Baronovich:
You must think in Russian.

Upenskoy:
Don't say anything. Your words would be useless, maybe even insulting. Just fly the damn plane.

Maj. Gant:
Punching in the coordinates... I'm coming home.

Upenskoy:
Fighting city hall, as you put it, is a freedom we do not enjoy.

Dr. Baronovich:
Mr. Gant, you are an American. You are a free man. I am not. If I resent the men in Washington who are ordering my death, then it is a small thing when compared with my resentment of the KGB.

First Secretary:
You will not, of course, make it to wherever you are going. Good by, Mr. Gant!

Maj. Gant:
All right. The bait's been swallowed. Let's head north to the Urals.

Priabin:
Colonel! We Have him! He's been identified! Colonel, are you there?

Col. Kontarsky:
Quickly, Priabin, tell me!

Priabin:
He's an pilot. Mitchel Gant, an American. Obviously sir, he knows our planes, our hardware, better than anybody. But perhaps he intends a close inspection of the MiG-31?

Col. Kontarsky:
He cannot be here for that!

Priabin:
No sir! Surely not! He couldn't hope to get away with it!

General Vladimirov:
How can I be calm in your... stupidity, STUPIDITY?

Col. Kontarsky:
Doors. Close the doors!

Air Marshal Kutuzov:
You had considered, First Secretary, that this could all be an elaborate bluff by the Americans to distract us from looking to the north, while this single aircraft attempts to escape to the south?

First Secretary:
No, Kutuzov, the Americans are simply paying the price for too many years of softness - paying with an act of desperation such as this one.

Air Marshal Kutuzov:
You are absolutely certain?

First Secretary:
I am certain. They know the potential of this aircraft; they know what it means. I would imagine that, had our positions been reversed, we might have acted similarly.

Kenneth Aubrey:
When the first rumors began to filter out of the Soviet Union some three years ago, our theoretical weapons strategists stood before NATO command to explain - with much confidence - that it would take the Soviets a minimum of ten years to develop a Mach Five aircraft with thought-controlled weapons systems. I stand before you today to explain - with much regret - that we were wrong.

RAF operator:
Sir! Radar tracking reports signs of a staggered sector scramble, Northern and Southern boarder squadrons, Red Air Force. Heavy coded trafic between Biliysk and the Red Banner Fleet. Predicted activity indicates a definite lift off!

Buckholz:
He's up! Great mother of god, he's up!
