Which character in "The Hunt for Red October" said...

So you think you are a fan of "The Hunt for Red October." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. [Sarcastic-imitating Ramius] "Ryan, some things in here don't react well to bullets." Yeah, like me. I don't react well to bullets.

  2. 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.

  3. I miss the peace of fishing like when I was a boy. Forty years I've been at sea. A war at sea. A war with no battles, no monuments... only casualties. I widowed her the day I married her. My wife died while I was at sea, you know.

  4. The hard part about playing chicken is knowin' when to flinch.

  5. My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on playmate of the month.

  6. I told you to speak your mind Jack, but Jesus!

  7. Central Intelligence Agency... Now, there's a contradiction in terms.

  8. [to the Soviet Ambassador] It would be well for your government to consider that having your ships and ours, your aircraft and ours, in such proximity... is inherently DANGEROUS. Wars have begun that way, Mr. Ambassador.

  9. [to Ryan] I'll give you three days to prove your theory correct. After that... we'll have to hunt down Ramius and destroy him. Will you do it?

  10. This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

  11. That torpedo didn't self-destruct, you heard it hit the hull and I... was never here.

  12. Well, Sir, I was just thinking that perhaps there's another possibility we might consider. Raimus might be trying to defect.
