Lieutenant Melekhin, Engineer - Red October : [in Russian to shipmates after Ryan chokes on a Russian cigarette] He's turning green.

Lieutenant Melekhin, Engineer - Red October : I found out what happened to the caterpillar. The buffer circuit has been torn out. It was only a matter of time before an overload shut down the whole caterpillar.
Captain Ramius : What are you saying?
Lieutenant Melekhin, Engineer - Red October : Whoever did this knew how to cripple a caterpillar in a way not easy to find.
Capt. Vasili Borodin : Captain, we have a saboteur on board.
Captain Ramius : It can't be any of the officers. They had all the time in the world before we put to sea. Must be a member of the crew.
[to Vasili]
Captain Ramius : Go below, Putin's cabin. Check his files for information on the crew. We may have to put them off before we planned.

Capt. Vasili Borodin : What happened?
Lieutenant Melekhin, Engineer - Red October : The cryogenic plant! The magnets aren't being cooled. And the temperature in the caterpillar is 50 degrees above red line and rising. If we don't shut it off, it'll melt!
Capt. Vasili Borodin : Kill it! Shut it down!
[Melekhin whistles and non-verbally relays the order]
Capt. Vasili Borodin : [calling on the comm] Captain?
Captain Ramius : What happened?
Capt. Vasili Borodin : The cryogenic plant failed.
Captain Ramius : Reactor damage?
Lieutenant Melekhin, Engineer - Red October : There was a power spike, but the reactor scrammed automatically.
Dr. Petrov : Was there any core damage? Was there any radiation leakage?
Lieutenant Melekhin, Engineer - Red October : I don't know yet, damn it!
Capt. Vasili Borodin : How long will it take to fix?
Lieutenant Melekhin, Engineer - Red October : I gotta find out what's wrong first. Could be a problem with the liquid helium, or maybe the superconductors.
Capt. Vasili Borodin : Captain, we will have to stop until we can make repairs to the caterpillar unit.
Captain Ramius : Negative. We'll run on normal propulsion.
Capt. Vasili Borodin : Captain, we will not be silent.
Captain Ramius : Make revolutions for 20 knots and engage the propellors.
