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.
