Capt. Marko Ramius

• ...and that reminds me of the heady days of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin, when the world trembled at the sound of our rockets. Well, they will tremble again - at the sound of our silence. The order is - engage the silent drive!"
• ...the only sound they will hear is our laughter, while we sail to Havana, where the sun is warm, and so is the...comradeship.
• [Today is] a great day, comrades! We sail into history!
• When he reached the New World, Cortez burned his ships. As a result, his men were well motivated.
• Forty years have I been at sea. A war at sea. A war with no battles. No monuments. Only casualties.
• I widowed her the day I married her.
• Give me a ping, Vasily. One ping only, please.
• Be careful what you shoot at, hmm? Most things in here don't react too well to bullets." [to Ryan in the missile chamber of the Red October]

Jack Ryan

• [to himself] Next time, Jack, write a damn memo.
• [Sarcastic-imitating Ramius]: "Be careful. Most things in here don't react well to bullets." Yeah-like me.

Other Characters

• Dr. Jeffrey Pelt: I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies I'm stealing their lollipops.
• Capt. 2nd Rank Vasily Borodin: [as he's dying] I would have liked to have seen Montana!
• Sonarman 2nd Class Ronald Jones: Conn, Sonar! Crazy Ivan!!!
• Admiral Josh Painter: [after running up to the USS Enterprise flight deck to survey an F-14 crash scene] This business will get out of control! It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it!
• Konovalov officer to Captain Tupolov: You arrogant ass! You've killed us!
• Admiral Josh Painter: Russians don't take a dump, son, without a plan. And senior captains don't do something this dangerous without thinking it through.
• Vice-Admiral James Greer: That torpedo didn't self-destruct, you heard it hit the hull and I..... was never here.
• Skip Tyler: When I was twelve, I helped my Daddy build a bomb shelter in our basement, because some damn fool parked a dozen warheads ninety miles off the coast of Florida. This thing could park a coupla' hundred warheads in New York harbor and no-one would know anything about it until it was all over.

Dialogue

Stewardess: The flight will go faster if you try to get some sleep.
Ryan: I don't sleep on airplanes. Turbulence.
Stewardess: Pardon?
Ryan: Solar radiation heats the earth's crust, warm air rises, cool air descends: turbulence. I don't like that.

(Jack is being ferried to the Enterprise disguised as a Navy officer - a storm batters at the airplane)
Radioman: (shouting amiably over the engines) So you don't like flyin', huh? This is nothin'! You shoulda been with us five, six months back! We ran into a hailstorm over the Sea of Japan! Whoa, talk about puke! The pilot shot his lunch all over the windshield, and I barfed on the radio - knocked it right out! It wasn't that lightweight stuff, either, it was that chunky, industrial-grade puke! (proferring a candy bar) Wanna bite?
Ryan: (through clenched teeth) Next time, Jack, write a memo!
