Ramsey: Interesting way you put that, Mr. Hunter.
Hunter: How’d I put it, sir?

Crimson Tide is a 1995 American submarine film directed by Tony Scott, produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer.Henrick. It takes place during a period of political turmoil in the Russian Federation, in which ultranationalists threaten to launch nuclear missiles at the United States and Japan. It focuses on a clash of wills between the seasoned commanding officer (played by Gene Hackman) and the executive officer (played by Denzel Washington) of a nuclear missile submarine, arising from conflicting interpretations of an order to launch their missiles.
Hunter: In a nuclear world, the real enemy can’t be destroyed.
Ramsey: Attention on deck, Von Clausewitz will now tell us who the real enemy is. Von?
Hunter: In my humble opinion, in the nuclear world, the real enemy is war itself.

God help you if you’re wrong.
Ramsey: God help you if you’re wrong.
Hunter: If I’m wrong, then we’re at war; God help us all.

How do you like that cigar?
Ramsey: How do you like that cigar?
Hunter: It’s good, sir.
Ramsey: It’s your first?
Hunter: Yeah.
Ramsey: Well, don’t like it too much. They’re more expensive than drugs.
Captain Ramsey: I expect and demand your very best. Anything less, you should have joined the Air Force.
Hunter: You have to set an example even in the face of stupidity. Now everyone who reads comic books knows that the Kirby Silver Surfer is the only true Silver Surfer, now am I right or wrong?
Capt. Ramsey: All I ask is that you keep up with me. If you can’t, then that strange sensation you’ll be feeling in the seat of your pants will be my boot in your ass!
Ramsey: We’re here to preserve democracy, not practice it.
