Reporter : I'm going to place a long distance call to Los Angeles. Air Force Major : [resets the phone] Who are you calling? Reporter : The press! This is big news! The sound barrier's finally been broken! Air Force Major : No, sir, no press! Reporter : What? Air Force Major : No word of this going beyond the flight-line! Reporter : [inserts a coin] Hey, come on, now! This is big news! We need coverage for this! Air Force Major : No, sir, sorry! No press! Those are orders. National security. Reporter : But the war's over! Air Force Major : Well, look, pal. Maybe they don't want someone to know. Reporter : Who? Air Force Major : The Russians, maybe. Reporter : The Russians?! They're our allies! Air Force Major : Well, anyway, somebody wanted it that way. And that's the way it is.
