Crimson Tide

- I don't mean to suggest...

:20:59
that you're indecisive,
Mr. Hunter.

:21:01
Not at all.

:21:02
Just, um... complicated.

:21:06
[Chuckles]

:21:08
Of course, that's the way
the Navy wants you.

:21:12
Me, they wanted simple.

:21:15
- Well, you certainly fooled them, sir.
- [Laughs]

:21:19
Be careful there, Mr. Hunter.

:21:20
It's all I got to rely on:
Bein' a simpleminded son of a bitch.

:21:24
Rickhover gave me
my command...

:21:27
a checklist, a target
and a button to push.

:21:31
All I had to know
is how to push it.

:21:32
They'd tell me when.
They seem to want you to know why.

:21:36
I would hope they'd want
us all to know why, sir.
