TRANSCRIPTION FROM TAPE OF CONFERENCE BETWEEN A. BRADLEY AVELLANOS AND JAMESON LAWLER (CIA)
EDITED FOR CLARITY
[Minutes 28-30]
LAWLER: It's coming. The Beard getting on stage the same time Ike takes a bow. God damn disastrous. The boys in Analysis call it an eighty percent chance of tipping off in the next five years.
AVELLANOS: (whistles) Well. Middle of nowhere well-below ground isn't the worst place to be.
LAWLER: Honestly? I think I'd rather die up there than live down here.
AVELLANOS: I guess that's the question, isn't it? How bad's it gotta get before you throw in the towel.
(paper rustling)
LAWLER: And these just show a minimal strike.
AVELLANOS: I've seen fallout maps before.
LAWLER: These are aftermath maps, from the point of impact of each bomb. Next day. Six months, two years, five years.
AVELLANOS: Nobody thinks Nuclear War won't be bad.
LAWLER: These numbers are radiation. But these, these are temperatures.
AVELLANOS: Your kidding. Fahrenheit or Celsius?
LAWLER: That low, it doesn't matter. Depending on strikes in Europe we lose the Golf Stream, and with airborne particles... You're smiling.
