Memorable quotes for
Capricorn One (1978)
Walter Loughlin: Listen to me and listen good. I don't like you, Caulfield. You're ambitious. You think the way to get ahead is to come up with the scoop of the century. Woodward and Bernstein were good reporters, that's how they did it. Not by telling me they've located Patty Hearst three times like you did or that brilliant piece of investigative journalism you pulled off by finding an eye witness to the second gunman in the Kennedy assassination. The small fact that the man had been in a mental institution at the time never deterred you, not 'scoop' Caulfield. Now most reporters are like me. They are plodders. They spend a lot of their time checking little things... like *facts*. They cover mundane stories like wars and trials and hearings. You never seem to have enough time in your busy schedual to stoop so low as to cover a story. You occupy your time with tips from people who never existed. Driving your car into water and claiming it wasn't your fault. Getting shot at by unseen gunmen. Now I really hate to interrupt your meteoric career with something so plebian as a legitimate story. However, a train load of propane gas had the bad taste to derail near Galvestone and there's a whole town that just might blow up. So it would be just really peachy of you if you would join your film crew that's waiting for you on the plane at this very moment while we speak.

Ohio class submarine
The Ohio class is a class of nuclear-powered submarines used by the United States Navy. The United States has 18 Ohio class submarines:
14 nuclear-powered SSBNs (ballistic missile submarines), each armed with 24 Trident II SLBMs; they are also known as "Trident" submarines, and provide the sea-based leg of the nuclear triad of the United States strategic nuclear weapons arsenal
4 nuclear-powered SSGNs (cruise missile submarines), each capable of carrying 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles with conventional warheads
The Ohio class is named after the lead submarine of this class, the USS Ohio (SSGN-726). The 14 Trident II SSBNs together carry around fifty percent of the total U.S. strategic warhead inventory. The exact number varies in an unpredictable and highly classified manner, at or below a maximum set by various strategic arms limitation treaties. Although the missiles have no pre-set targets when the submarine goes on patrol, the platform, when required, is capable of rapid targeting using secure and constant at-sea communications links. The Ohio class is the largest type of submarine ever constructed for the U.S. Navy, and are second only to the Russian Typhoon-class in displacement and size (the new Russian Borei class submarine has larger displacement when submerged, but not when surfaced).
The Ohio-class submarines were specifically designed for extended deterrence patrols.

Nuclear deterrence
Nuclear deterrence can refer to a number of nuclear strategies such as:
Minimal deterrence - a "limited" form of deterrence
Massive retaliation - deterrence based on retaliating with greater force than originally used
Mutual assured destruction - an "unlimited" form of deterrence

Now I've heard people talk...
:08:01
but I don't think this man's talking
to get his picture in the paper.
:08:03
He seems to have a serious weed
up his ass and a legitimate gripe.
:08:08
Always a dangerous combination.
And I think he's capable...
:08:11
of doing every damn thing
he says he's going to do.
:08:14
That's why we have to go out there
and give the man a moment of pause.
:08:18
So ends theory.
Thus, let us begin the facts.
