The complete Dr. Strangelove continuity script is at
http://digilander.libero.it/stanleykubrick/stranamore/stranamore-script.txt
Here's the exact section I mentioned earlier:
Strangelove: . . . . Deterrence is the art of producing in the
mind of the enemy... the fear to attack. And so, because of the
automated and irrevocable decision making process which rules out
human meddling, the doomsday machine is terrifying. It's simple
to understand. And completely credible, and convincing.
Buck Turgidson [George C. Scott]: Gee, I wish we had one of them
doomsday machines, Stainsy.
<snip>
Strangelove: Yes, but the... whole point of the doomsday
machine... is lost... if you keep it a secret! Why didn't you
tell the world, eh?
DeSadeski: It was to be announced at the Party Congress on
Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises.
