General : Is Jackson close enough? Will he vaporize the cold fusion device or detonate it? Tell me, you're the disposal expert.
Captain Litvak : I've been through simulations before, but not anything like this.
General : What do I do? Shoot a man?
Professor Wylie : It's against everything this country stands for. I didn't do anything wrong. He's crazy. Don't you get it?
Seth Todtman : Shoot him!
Captain Litvak : Necessity defence -- justifiable homicide. If the lifeboat's going to sink, you can throw people overboard. If the dam's going to break, You can open the floodgates.
General : The law isn't that clear.
Captain Litvak : If Jackson's 100 meters off, that nuclear mine may not work. I'm not saying that because it's our lives.
Seth Todtman : You owe me this!
General : Professor Wylie. Our nuclear mine blows or his cold fusion device ignites, it's the same result -- you'll die, we'll all die.
Professor Wylie : You brought me here against my will. I don't have to die! You brought me!
General : I'm sorry.
Professor Wylie : No, you can't do this!
