You can almost hear the studio pitch meeting echoing throughout Crimson Tide like the sonar on the soundtrack: "It's The Cain Mutiny on a nuclear submarine!" When radio communications problems aboard the USS Alabama prevent the sub from re… more »



Hunter:
...Captain, I cannot concur.

Ramsey:
Repeat my command.

Hunter:
Sir, we don't know what this means. Our target package could have changed.

Ramsey:
You repeat this order or I'll find somebody who will!

Hunter:
Hell no, you won't, sir.

Ramsey:
You're relieved of your position. Cob, remove Mr. Hunter from the control room. Get Lieutenant Zimmer in here now!

Hunter:
No, sir, I do not concur and I do not recognize your authority to relieve me on the command under Navy regulations.

Ramsey:
Cob, arrest this man and get him out!

Hunter:
Captain Ramsey, under operating procedures governing the release of nuclear weapons we cannot launch our missiles unless both you, and I agree.

Ramsey:
[shouting over Hunter] COB, what're you waiting for?

Hunter:
Now this is not a formality, sir! This is expressly why your command must be repeated! It requires my assent, I do not give it! And furthermore, if you continue upon this course, and insist upon this launch without confirming this message first...

Ramsey:
[shouting over Hunter] Son of a b*tch... As commanding officer of the USS Alabama I order you to place the XO under arrest under charges of mutiny.

Hunter:
I will be forced, backed by the rules of precedents...

Ramsey:
[shouting at the Chief of the Boat, over Hunter] I say again, as commanding officer of the USS Alabama, I order you...

Hunter:
-authority and command, regulation 08150H6 of the Navy regulations, to relieve you of command, Captain!

Ramsey:
-to place the XO under arrest, under charges of mutiny! [Silence all round] COB!

Chief of the Boat:
Captain, please, the XO is right. We can't launch unless he concurs.

Ramsey:
[reading EAM] "To the USS Alabama: Rebel-controlled missiles being fuelled. Launch codes compromised, dissidents threaten to launch at continental United States, set DEFCON 2. Immediately launch ten Trident missile sorties." They're FUELING THEIR MISSILES! We don't have time to f*** around!

Hunter:
Sir, I think you need time to think this over.

Ramsey:
I DON'T HAVE TO THINK THIS OVER!

Hunter:
Captain, I relieve you of your command of this ship. COB, escort the Captain off the bridge, I'm assuming command.

Ramsey:
You're not assuming anything!

Hunter:
CHIEF OF THE BOAT, Captain Ramsey is under arrest — lock him in his stateroom!

Chief of the Boat:
Captain, please...

Hunter:
NOW, COB!!

Chief of the Boat:
Aye, sir. Mitchell, Walker, take the Captain below.
