Quotes 

• Poltical Officer Ivan Putin : [Reading from a book belonging to Ramius, quoting the Bible]  And the seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a voice cried out from heaven, saying: "It is done." A man with your responsibilities reading about the end of the world. And what's this? "I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds."

  Captain Ramius : It is an ancient Hindu text, quoted by an American.

  Poltical Officer Ivan Putin : An American?

  Captain Ramius : Mmm. He invented the atomic bomb, and was later accused of being a communist.

• Poltical Officer Ivan Putin : [Discussing Captain Tupolev]  He was your student. It is rumoured that he has a special place in his heart for you.

  Captain Ramius : There is little room in Tupolev's heart for anyone but Tupolev.

• Captain Ramius : How many agents did the KGB put aboard my boat?

  Poltical Officer Ivan Putin : Your boat, Captain?

  Captain Ramius : Yes.

  Poltical Officer Ivan Putin : This vessel belongs to the people of the Soviet Union. Besides, if the KGB or the GRU has agents aboard, I will be the last to know.

• Poltical Officer Ivan Putin : [reading a book talking about Armageddon]  You wrote and underlined these passages?

  Captain Ramius : No. This book belonged to my wife. I keep it for sentimental value.
