89To whom was the following quote said to: "If you detonate that nuke on the surface, you waste a perfectly good bomb, and we have one chance to save this planet!"
Answer: General Kimsey
Truman was the one who actually said the quote. This was one of the most powerful scenes in the whole movie.
A.J. was originally going to do it, but then Harry pushed him back into the elevator, and took over the job. This was such an emotional scene, especially when he was saying good-bye to Grace.
