So you think you are a fan of "Thirteen Days." 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. [about journalist who says Ortsac - Castro spelt backwards - is a military action] Kinda simple for the Pentagon.

  3. I am the commander in chief of the United States, and I say when we go to war!

  4. They look warlike? Jesus Christ, we're lighting off nuclear weapons like its our own private Fourth of July!

  5. [about the Joint Chiefs of Staff] They want a war, Jack, and they're arranging things to get one.

  6. Those goddamn Kennedys are gonna destroy this country if we don't do something about this!

  11. Gentlemen, for the last fifteen years, I've fought at this table alongside your predecessors in the struggle against the Soviet. Now I do not wish to seem melodramatic, but I do wish to impress upon you a lesson I learned with bitter tears and great sacrifice. The Soviet understands only one language: action. Respects only one word: force.

  12. We've got a bunch of smart guys. We lock 'em in a room and kick 'em in the ass until they come up with some solutions!
