Crimson Tide1995

[Captain Ramsey addresses the crew before boarding the Alabama]

Capt. Frank Ramsey:
Little ducks, there's trouble in Russia. So they called us. And we're going over there and bringing the most lethal killing machine ever devised. We're capable of launching more firepower than has ever been released in the history of war. For one purpose alone: To keep our country safe. We constitute the front line and the last line of defense. I expect and demand your very best. Anything less, you should have joined the Air Force. [crew laughs] This might be our Commander-in-Chief's Navy, but this is my boat. And all I ask is that you keep up with me. And if you can't that strange sensation you'll be feeling in the seat of your pants will be my boot in your ass! [crew laughs again; Ramsey returns to dock stage and calls out over sound system] Mr. COB!

Chief of the Boat:
Yes, sir?

Ramsey:
You're aware of the name of this ship, aren't you Mr. COB?

Chief of the Boat:
Very aware, sir!

Ramsey:
It bears a proud name, doesn't it, Mr. COB?

Chief of the Boat:
Very proud, sir!

Ramsey:
It represents fine people.

Chief of the Boat:
Very fine people, sir!

Ramsey:
Who live in a fine, outstanding state.

Chief of the Boat:
Outstanding, sir!

Ramsey:
In the greatest country in the entire world.

Chief of the Boat:
In the entire world, sir!

Ramsey:
And what is that name, Mr. COB?

Chief of the Boat:
Alabama, sir!

Ramsey:
And what do we say?

Ramsey, Chief of the Boat:
GO 'BAMA!

Crew:
ROLL TIDE!

Capt. Ramsey:
Chief of the Boat, dismiss the crew.

Chief of the Boat:
Dismiss the crew, aye-aye sir. [addresses crew] Crew, department heads, attend to your departments. FALL OUT! [crew begins embarking at bugle call]
