The Hunt for Red October Quotes
Come on, Big D. Fly!
Lt. Commander Thompson, USS Dallas
We're going to kill a friend, Yvgeni. We're going to kill Ramius.
Captain Tupolev
[imitating the Admiral] "The average Rooskie, son, don't take a dump without a plan." Wait a minute. We don't have to figure out how to get the crew off the sub. He's already done that, he would have had to. All we gotta do is figure out what he's gonna do. So how's he gonna get the crew of the sub. They have to want to get off. How do you get a crew to want to get off a submarine? How do you get a crew to want to get off a nuclear sub...
Jack Ryan

Capt. Bart Mancuso: No shit, Buckwheat, now get the hell out of here!
A great day comrades, we sail into history!
Captain Ramius

The hard part about playing chicken is knowin' when to flinch.
