"Cut off the head of the Soviet chicken!"

"We got Alice in one plane and the mad hatter in another."


Fargo: Hell, most Soviet bombers are so old they still use propellers. The Minnesota Air National Guard could probably knock them down.

Harpoon: Well, do you want to get on the phone and order them into the air, Colonel, because every transistor in Minnesota is BURNED OUT!

Good movie. Gets my vote for "Most creative use for an H-bomb".
