Mr. President, we are rapidly approaching a moment of truth both for ourselves as human beings and for the life of our nation. Now, truth is not always a pleasant thing. But it is necessary now to make a choice, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless _distinguishable_, postwar environments: one where you got twenty million people killed, and the other where you got a hundred and fifty million people killed! Mr. President, I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks. ---

Comrades, our own fleet doesn’t know our full potential. They will do everything possible to test us; but they will only test their own embarrassment. We will leave our fleet behind. We will pass through the American patrols, past their sonar nets, and lay off their largest city, and listen to their rock and roll, while we conduct missile drills. Then, when we are finished, the only sound they will hear is our laughter - while we sail to Havana, where the sun is warm, and so is the…comradeship. A great day, comrades. We sail into history! ---
