McKittrick Excuse me, sir. We can't send these men back to the President of the United States with a lot of head-shrinker horseshit!

Scenes with McKittrick
5 scenes McKittrick Joshua called me.
McKittrick David, machines don't call people!
McKittrick See that sign up here - up here. "Defcon." That indicates our current "def"ense "con"dition. It should read "Defcon 5," which means peace. It's still on 4 because of that little stunt you pulled. Actually, if we hadn't caught it in time, it might have gone to Defcon 1. You know what that means, David?
No. What does that mean?
McKittrick World War Three.
Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks.
McKittrick I don't have to take that, you pig-eyed sack of shit.
Oh, I was hoping for something a little better than that from you, sir. A man of your education.
McKittrick It all flows into this room and then into what we call the WOPR computer.
Watson
WOPR? What is that?
McKittrick It's a War Operations Planning Response. This is Mr. Richter. Paul, would you like to tell these gentlemen about the WOPR.
Richter
Well, the WOPR spends all it's time thinking about World War III. Twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, it plays an endless series of WarGames using all available information on the state of the world. The WOPR has already fought World War III as a game time and time again. It estimates Soviet responses to our responses to their responses and so on. It estimates damage, counts the dead, and it looks for ways to improve the score.
