• Jeffrey Pelt : Mr. Ambassador, you have nearly a hundred naval vessels operating in the North Atlantic right now. Your aircraft has dropped enough sonar buoys so that a man could walk from Greenland to Iceland to Scotland without getting his feet wet. Now, shall we dispense with the bull?

  Ambassador Lysenko : You make your point as delicately as ever, Mr. Pelt.

• Ambassador Andrei Lysenko : There is another matter... one I'm reluctant to...

  Dr. Jeffrey Pelt : Please.

  Ambassador Andrei Lysenko : One of our submarines, an Alfa, was last reported in the area of the Grand Banks. We have not heard from her for some time.

  Dr. Jeffrey Pelt : Andrei, you've lost another submarine?

• Ambassador Lysenko : It seems that the initial reports that one of our submarines was missing were not completely accurate. The submarine in question... is commanded by Captain Marko Ramius. Apparently, he's suffered a kind of mental or nervous breakdown. Just before he sailed, he posted a letter to Admiral Yuri Padorin, in which he announced his intention to... to fire his missiles on the United States.

  Jeffrey Pelt : Why didn't you tell me this the last time we met?

  Ambassador Lysenko : In my position, I am sometimes compromised by the fact that Moscow does not always tell me everything.
