[the Russian Alpha submarine shoots a torpedo at the Red October]
Capt. Vasili Borodin:
Torpedo impact, 20 seconds.
Captain Ramius:
[to Ryan]
What books?
Jack Ryan:
[confused]
Pardon me?
Captain Ramius:
What books did you write?
Jack Ryan:
I wrote a biography of, of Admiral Halsey, called "The Fighting Sailor", about, uh, naval combat tactics...
Captain Ramius:
I know this book!
Capt. Vasili Borodin:
Torpedo impact...
Captain Ramius:
Your conclusions were all wrong, Ryan...
Capt. Vasili Borodin:
...10 seconds.
Captain Ramius:
...Halsey acted stupidly.
[Ryan is dumbfounded that Ramius' mind is about book criticism, while they are about to be hit by a torpedo within a few seconds]
Capt. Vasili Borodin:
9, 8, 7, 6...
[Ryan looks worriedly at captain Mancuso]
Capt. Vasili Borodin:
5, 4, 3, 2...
[everyone prepares for the impact]
Capt. Vasili Borodin:
Torpedo impact... now.
[the torpedo slams into the bow of Red October and breaks up harmlessly on impact. The Red October is unharmed. The broken shards of the torpedo drift away]
Capt. Bart Mancuso:
I'll be damned.
Jack Ryan:
What happened?
Capt. Bart Mancuso:
Combat tactics, Mr. Ryan. By turning into the torpedo, the Captain closed the distance before it could arm itself.
