You don't understand what's going on here, do you? If we stop now, we lose. This president has the determination to wage a nuclear war until an acceptable outcome is achieved.
Alice Acceptable to whom, Sir?
Acceptable to me, and the American people. Now you put another bomber on the henhouse, fast. Did you get that?
Alice I hear you, Sir.
You put out general orders, to bring down Polar Bear One. Did you hear that?

Alice I don't believe I am, Sir.
[Colonel Fargo whispered to Acting President] : We have a capability to give the orders from here.
Fine, fine. We can send the orders from here.
Alice I suggest you do that, Sir.
Am I hearing you correctly?
Alice I believe you did.
General, you're fired.
Harpoon, I don't know if the President will make it to Andrews. All our military bases have been hit. Who's available to succeed?
General, the vice-president and most of the Cabinet are in northwest Washington. We've been unable to contact. The only one we are sure of is the secretary of the interior; he was inspecting a wilderness preserve near Baton Rouge.
And the FBI are out looking for him?
And the Army, E-4's two hours from touchdown in Baton Rouge.
Alice, you're reading our new target projections in your display?
Alice I got everything I need, sir.
And the current impact in the area clear to you, yes?
Alice Yes, sir.
Well, I've done about all I can. You and Harpoon take it from here. Old buddy?
Alice Yeah, Clay?
Happy Hunting!
