[The USAF plane tasked to drop a fuel-air bomb on Cedar Creek has sent the weapon over the water instead. General McClintock is ordering it rearmed]

Sandman, this is General Ford. You will ignore that order. For the record, I'm relieving General McClintock of command, for the crime of withholding vital information from the President of the United States.

I have, in no way, withheld vital information from the President of the United States.

Colonel Briggs.

Sir.

Place General McClintock under arrest.

If I go down for this, Billy, you go down for it.

It's out of our hands now, Donnie.

You silly sentimental son of a bitch... Nobody puts me under arrest. Nobody. [blocked by a pistol-packing Col. Briggs as he tries to leave the command post] Colonel Briggs. What a wonderful moment this must be for you. [Briggs smiles as he leads him away under armed guard.]
