Its never difficult to do ones duty, Captain. — K-19: The Widowmaker

"Under no circumstances will I abandon my boat or my crew to the enemy."

"John Shrapnel - Admiral Bratyeev"

"Donald Sumpter - Captain 3rd Rank Gennadi Savran, Medical Officer"

"Sam Redford - Petty Officer 2nd Class Vasily"

"Igor Suslov: In American propaganda you will see how everyone has a car, nice clothes, a nice apartment. But you will never see the truth behind this lie. You will not see police dogs attacking strikers and demonstrators for civil rights. You will not see the beggars on the streets, the homeless, the negro-shantytowns in the south. You will not see the warmongers who threaten the world with nuclear holocaust."

"At every stage of this disaster, which came within moments of being a far greater disaster, the officers and crew did what had to be done. Seven are now dead and nobody knows how many more are dying, or how fast. These are the men who returned home to be interrogated as if a crime had been committed, questioned, even while undergoing treatment for radiation poisoning, locked up and denied access to wives and families, but they and their comrades saved K-19 and maybe, just maybe, they saved all of you as well. One thing more, please, no captain in the soviet navy has ever been faced with such decisions the fate of the boat, the crew, and the fate of the world all in balance. The navy is my life. And one thing I know, there can only be one captain of a ship. The burden of command is on his shoulders, and is alone. None of you - none of you - has the right to judge Captain Vostrikov. You werent there. I was. He was our captain. He was my captain. And it would be an honor to sail under his command again."
