• Kelly : Colonel Wilkins, this is Airman Kelly, sir!

  Colonel Max Wilkins : Go.

  Kelly : [faking moans into the radio]  Chief Rhodes is dead! They're all dead!

  Colonel Max Wilkins : What the hell happened? What the hell HAPPENED?

  Kelly : [Deakins rubs his shaver into the microphone]  It's the nuke! It's open! It's wide open!

  Colonel Max Wilkins : Kelly, come in! What happened?

  Kelly : [Deakins rubs his shaver into the microphone again]  Oh God...

  [fake coughs] 

  Kelly : What am I gonna do?

  [Deakins pulls the plug on Kelly's headphones] 

• [after the nuke is detonated in the mine] 

  Giles Prentice : Colonel Wilkins, sir? Uh, shouldn't we be evacuating?

  Colonel Max Wilkins : [covers his phone]  We're fine, it was underground.

  [into phone] 

  Colonel Max Wilkins : Colonel Wilkins to General Creeley...

  Giles Prentice : Are you sure? I mean, how do you know that?

  Colonel Max Wilkins : [covers the phone again]  Because if it had been a surface detonation, we'd have felt a different kind of ground tremor. We'd also be burned, blind, and dying.
