Peter "Weps" Ince : Okay. What's going on?
Zimmer : We're not going to let this go down with the X-O and Helm.
Peter "Weps" Ince : We're not?
Zimmer : No. We're not?
Lt. Bobby Dougherty : We've been following the captain for years, and now this asshole Hunter shows up, and we're supposed to follow him because he said so?
Peter "Weps" Ince : You're not supposed to, you were ordered to. That's what this is about, proper orders.
Lt. Bobby Dougherty : Proper Orders? He has proper orders, he won't act on them
Peter "Weps" Ince : He's in command now! If they order him to launch, we'll launch, and we'll blow 'em all to hell. But, I rather go down myself then get this one wrong.
Lt. Darik Westergard : Weps. Our procedures are clear. In the absence of a contravening order and in a situation like this, we follow the orders in hand.
Zimmer : That's right. You know how many checks that we have to go through to make sure that a message is authentic? The X-O agreed to those orders, now he just wants to throw them away they don't count?
Lt. Bobby Dougherty : He's lost his nerve.
Peter "Weps" Ince : Bullshit! I know this guy Bobby!
Lt. Darik Westergard : Weps. We're prepared for launch. How can we just sit here and do nothing when they're prepared to launch at us?
Peter "Weps" Ince : Well, we don't know that for sure that's the whole point. That is why he needs time to confirm the message.
Zimmer : That's the whole fuckin' point is that we don't got time! Radchenko is fueling his birds and why do you think he's doing that? Huh? Why? Because you don't put on a condom until you're gonna fuck!

Zimmer : This is a mutiny, Peter. There's only two sides to a mutiny.

Hunter : [over the intercom] Radio, X-O. Mr. Zimmer, get those communication systems back online now.
Zimmer : [over the intercom] We're working on it sir.
[to himself]
Zimmer : Aye, aye, Captain.
Vossler : Are we ready?
Zimmer : Yeah, we're ready. Go.
[sparks fly when Vossler touches the circuit board with his soldering iron]
Vossler : Oh fuck.
Zimmer : The system crashed, the radio buoy got severed, what the fuck does he want us to do?
Vossler : Shit electrons?
Zimmer : Hey, we need this radio repaired. Not smart-ass remarks.

Hunter : I think his dog gave me the final seal of approval.
Lt. Bobby Dougherty : He goes everywhere with that dog. Navy looks the other way because he's Ramsey.
Zimmer : Navy looks the other way because he's on of the few skippers who have seen combat.
Lt. Darik Westergard : Took SEALs into Panama in 90.
TSO Billy Linkletter : Tomahawks in the Gulf in 91.
Lt. Bobby Dougherty : What, took out four or five XOs in 92?
Hunter : Are you ser...
Peter "Weps" Ince : Yeah, the last one got what, appendicitis?
