Jack Ryan:
Sir, those three missing scientists? Milinov's expertise is detonators. Spassky's expertise is the package; the nuclear core itself. And Orlov is a mathematician whose expertise is the geometry of high explosives inside a fission bomb.
Bill Cabot:
Exact three men you would need if you wanted to build a bomb.
Jack Ryan:
Grushkov would have us believe...
Bill Cabot:
Grushkov's a liar. Milinov is not sick, Orlov hasn't taken a vacation in years, and Spassky, who was supposed to have died drivin' a car? Doesn't drive. They have no idea where these guys are.
Jack Ryan:
I'm dying to ask you how you know that.
Bill Cabot:
[turning his laptop around]
Secure source inside the Kremlin. Code name: Spinnaker. He gives me stuff. I give him stuff. We keep the back channels open in hopes of staving off disaster. Oh, and speaking of disaster, did you call your girlfriend yet?
Jack Ryan:
No. I haven't figured out how I'm gonna dig myself out of this one.
Bill Cabot:
All right, listen. Call her up and invite her to the White House Correspondents' Dinner Sunday night. It's the hottest ticket in town. She'll love it.
Jack Ryan:
Sounds great. How do I get in?
Bill Cabot:
Trust me.
