Hunter:
Captain Ramsey, under operating procedures governing the release of nuclear weapons, we cannot launch our missiles unless both you and I agree.
Capt. Ramsey:
[shouting over Hunter]
COB, what're you waiting for?
Hunter:
This is not a formality, sir! This is *expressly* why your command must be repeated. It requires my assent, I *do not* give it and furthermore, you continue upon this course, and insist upon this launch without confirming this message first...
Capt. Ramsey:
[shouting over Hunter]
Son of a bitch. As commanding officer of the U.S.S Alabama, I order you to place the XO under arrest under charges of mutiny!
Hunter:
I will act, backed by the rules of precedence...
Capt. Ramsey:
[shouting at COB, over Hunter]
I say again, as commanding officer of the U.S.S Alabama, I *order you*...
Hunter:
...authority in command, regulations number 815, to relieve... you... of... command, Captain!
Capt. Ramsey:
...to place the XO under arrest, under charges of mutiny!
[Silence all round]
Capt. Ramsey:
COB!
Chief of the Boat:
Captain, please, the XO is right. We can't launch unless he concurs.
Capt. Ramsey:
[angrily reads from EAM]
"To the U.S.S. Alabama: Rebel-controlled missiles being fueled. Launch codes compromised, dissidents threaten to launch at continental United States, set DEFCON 2. Immediately launch ten Trident missile sorties." They're *fueling their missiles*! We don't have time to fuck around!
Hunter:
Sir, I think you need time to think this over.
Capt. Ramsey:
[shouting]
*I* don't have to think this over!
Hunter:
[stares at Ramsey, nodding]
Captain, I relieve you of your command of this ship. COB, escort the Captain to his state room. I'm assuming command.
Capt. Ramsey:
You're not assuming anything!
Hunter:
*Chief of the Boat*, Captain Ramsey is under arrest! Lock him in his state room!
Chief of the Boat:
Captain, please...
Hunter:
[growling]
Now, COB!
