WOPR: How about a nice game of chess?
Crystal Palace Announcer: Confidence is high! I repeat...confidence IS high!
Gen. Berenger: Flush the bombers...get the subs in launch mode...we are at DEFCON ONE.
WOPR: Excellent!
WOPR: Fine.
WOPR: Greetings Professor Falken.
David: How about Global Thermonuclear War?
WOPR: Wouldn't you prefer a good game of chess?
WOPR: Strange game...the only winning move is not to play.
WOPR: Shall we play a game?
WOPR: Which side do you want?
(Makes a great error sound)Gen. Berenger: Goddammit! I'd piss on a sparkplug if I thought'd do any good!
Gen. Berenger: After very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks!
WOPR: Excellent. It's been long time. Can you explain the removal of your user account on June 23rd, 1973?
David: There's ways around that!
McKittrick: These computers give us instant access to the state of the world. Troop movements, Soviet missle tests, shifting weather patterns. It all flows into this room and then into what we call the WOPR computer.
White House Aide: WOPR? What is that?
McKittrick: The War Operations Plan and Response. This is, uh, Mr. Richter. Paul, would you like to tell these gentlemen about the WOPR?
Richter: Well, the WOPR spends all its time thinking about WWIII. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it plays an endless series of war games, using all available information on the state of the world. The WOPR has already fought WWIII as a game, time and time again. It estimates Soviet responses to our responses to their responses and so on. Estimates damage, counts the dead, then it looks for ways to improve its score...
McKittrick: But the point is, is that the key decisions of every conceivable nuclear crisis have already been made by the WOPR.
WOPR: Yes, they do.
