Captain Ramsey, under operating procedures governing the release of nuclear weapons we cannot launch our missiles unless both you, and I agree.
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...
[shouting over Hunter]
Son of a bitch... As commanding officer of the U.S.S Alabama I order you to place the XO under arrest under charges of mutiny.
I will act, backed by the rules of precedence...
[shouting at the Chief of the Boat, over Hunter]
I say again, as commanding officer of the U.S.S Alabama, I order you...
-authority in command, regulations number 815, to relieve you of command, Captain.
-to place the XO under arrest, under charges of mutiny!
Captain, please, the XO is right. We can't launch unless he concurs.
[reading EAM]
"To the U.S.S. 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 **** around!
Sir, I think you need time to think this over.
I DON'T HAVE TO THINK THIS OVER!
Captain, I relieve you of your command of this ship. COB, escort the Captain to his state room, I'm assuming command.
You're not assuming anything!
CHIEF OF THE BOAT, Captain Ramsey is under arrest -- lock him in his stateroom!
Captain, please...
NOW, COB!
