1
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:23,568
Uh, testing. Uh, one, two,
three, four.
2
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:25,838
Uh, Roberto, I told you before...
3
00:07:25,945 --> 00:07:28,846
that this thing doesn't, uh...
because there's no...
4
00:07:28,948 --> 00:07:30,916
because the, uh, uh... You know.
5
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:45,063
Cocksucker!
6
00:07:56,175 --> 00:07:59,167
Uh, testing. Uh, one, two,
three, four.
7
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:01,873
Uh, Roberto, this is for, uh...
8
00:08:02,014 --> 00:08:03,914
eyes only.
9
00:08:04,016 --> 00:08:07,383
Um, our eyes.
10
00:08:23,836 --> 00:08:26,304
Uh, testing. Uh, one, two,
three, four.
11
00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:30,467
Uh, Roberto, this is for...
12
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,380
eyes only.
13
00:08:35,481 --> 00:08:39,474
Um, our eyes.
14
00:09:14,854 --> 00:09:16,754
Okay, Roberto...
15
00:09:16,889 --> 00:09:18,880
would you, uh... would you send...
16
00:09:19,926 --> 00:09:22,087
Call Mr. Stein at my publishers...
17
00:09:22,228 --> 00:09:24,890
to pick up that, uh, package
that I gave you.
18
00:09:24,997 --> 00:09:26,897
Oh! Oh, yes.
19
00:09:27,033 --> 00:09:29,058
Would you also tell Mrs. Nixon
that I, um...
20
00:09:38,778 --> 00:09:40,678
Never mind.
21
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:42,680
Oh! Oh, yes.
22
00:09:42,782 --> 00:09:44,613
I, I... I hear that the gardener's
wife... that Fernando's...
23
00:09:44,684 --> 00:09:46,743
wife is in the hospital.
24
00:09:46,852 --> 00:09:49,218
Would you send her a, uh, u-uh...
25
00:09:49,288 --> 00:09:52,189
Send her a new portable radio,
please. Make it a good one.
26
00:09:52,325 --> 00:09:55,260
And don't... , don't... don't tell her
that it's from...
27
00:09:55,328 --> 00:09:56,590
I would... I would rather that she
didn't... Just make it...
28
00:09:56,662 --> 00:09:58,425
anonymous. I...
29
00:09:58,564 --> 00:10:01,465
No! No, no, no, no, no, no.
Say that, um...
30
00:10:01,567 --> 00:10:05,469
Say that it is from Friends
of a Free Cuba.
31
00:10:05,571 --> 00:10:08,472
Cuba libre.
32
00:10:08,574 --> 00:10:11,008
Okay, side one.
33
00:10:11,143 --> 00:10:15,705
Um, day and date, um, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera.
34
00:10:15,781 --> 00:10:19,080
I'II, um... I'll write the, um, um,
... the prayer f...
35
00:10:19,185 --> 00:10:23,053
Uh, the, um, uh... the plea f...
36
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:25,022
the prologue...
37
00:10:25,157 --> 00:10:27,057
You know. Um...
38
00:10:27,193 --> 00:10:28,626
Okay...
39
00:10:59,058 --> 00:11:01,219
Your Honor...
40
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,352
may we take the matter of the,
pardon first?
41
00:11:04,530 --> 00:11:06,760
It was a complete fake.
42
00:11:06,832 --> 00:11:08,732
It solved nothing because, well...
43
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:11,735
if there had been a trial and
all the rest of it...
44
00:11:11,871 --> 00:11:13,634
Well, you know, if I had
gone to prison...
45
00:11:13,706 --> 00:11:16,106
I would be a free man today.
46
00:11:16,208 --> 00:11:18,108
A free man!
47
00:11:18,177 --> 00:11:21,340
Now, the word 'pardon' has
two definitions.
48
00:11:21,447 --> 00:11:25,213
First, there is the legal aspect,
which is to...
49
00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:28,218
excuse a convicted man from
punishment.
50
00:11:28,287 --> 00:11:32,018
Then there is the general
definition of the word...
51
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:34,126
'pardon' which is to forgive.
52
00:11:36,462 --> 00:11:38,362
'Forgive. '
53
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:43,129
Forgive them before they
ever forgive me.
54
00:11:43,235 --> 00:11:45,169
Bastards. Fuck 'em!
55
00:11:45,271 --> 00:11:48,172
Son of a bitches.
56
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:50,174
Your Honor...
57
00:11:50,276 --> 00:11:52,676
my client has been driven
almost mad...
58
00:11:52,778 --> 00:11:56,578
because he has had to carry the
most terrible secrets of all...
59
00:11:56,716 --> 00:12:00,083
locked up inside his,
breaking heart...
60
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:02,279
and, beating mind.
61
00:12:02,354 --> 00:12:04,720
Now, you have read in the press...
62
00:12:04,857 --> 00:12:06,757
the reasons for the
Watergate affair.
63
00:12:06,859 --> 00:12:09,623
Today my client is going to
reveal to you...
64
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:12,163
the reasons behind the reasons.
65
00:12:12,298 --> 00:12:15,597
You, ladies and gentlemen of
the American jury...
66
00:12:15,701 --> 00:12:20,365
shall look at the face that is
under the mask that is...
67
00:12:20,439 --> 00:12:22,669
that is under the mask!
68
00:12:25,344 --> 00:12:27,244
You alone shall judge his life.
69
00:12:27,346 --> 00:12:31,180
Your Honor, my client has never
been convicted of anything...
70
00:12:31,283 --> 00:12:34,309
therefore, technically, he was not
qualified for a pardon.
71
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:36,650
Now, as to the definition of
the word 'pardon'...
72
00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:38,621
Look, there's been no
forgiveness here.
73
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:41,158
The whole damn thing has
been a sham.
74
00:12:41,293 --> 00:12:44,194
There's been no trial, no legal
conviction, no punishment.
75
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:47,164
Instead, Your Honor, my client
has had to suffer...
76
00:12:47,299 --> 00:12:50,530
lifelong personal punishment
and, torment...
77
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:53,538
for what has been called, the,
good of the nation.
78
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:56,006
Look, if the nation knew
the real truth...
79
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:57,632
why, I would be in the position
of-of de Gaulle...
80
00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:59,644
for instance, because I...
81
00:12:59,745 --> 00:13:01,713
Look, I had to withdraw becau...
82
00:13:13,993 --> 00:13:16,553
De Gaulle and-and, Mгo...
83
00:13:16,695 --> 00:13:18,595
Mao!
84
00:13:18,697 --> 00:13:21,598
He was a kind of a lone wolf
too, you know.
85
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:24,003
As a matter of fact, he said to
me once, he said...
86
00:13:24,003 --> 00:13:26,005
'I am alone with the people,
waiting. '
87
00:13:26,005 --> 00:13:27,973
I will never forget that moment.
88
00:13:28,073 --> 00:13:30,473
It made the, uh, gooseflesh come
out, because I...
89
00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:34,013
Look, if the American people knew
what really happened, I... I...
90
00:13:34,013 --> 00:13:36,481
You see, Your Honor, I know
that the whole story...
91
00:13:36,582 --> 00:13:38,482
could never be told during
my lifetime...
92
00:13:38,551 --> 00:13:40,451
because the nation could not have
stood the whole story.
93
00:13:40,586 --> 00:13:42,721
Take the killing of President
Kennedy and the...
94
00:13:42,721 --> 00:13:45,451
Warren report and so forth.
95
00:13:45,558 --> 00:13:48,493
The nation could not have stood
the whole story.
96
00:13:48,594 --> 00:13:51,825
So it was a blessing when that...
Shit! What's his... Ruby.
97
00:13:51,897 --> 00:13:54,024
When he shot, O-Oswald.
98
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:56,969
Look, I'm not saying that two
rights make a wrong.
99
00:13:56,969 --> 00:13:59,938
But it was a godsend when that-that
patriotic nightclub owner...
100
00:14:00,005 --> 00:14:02,530
when he-when he shot... Look, I...
101
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:04,734
I always understood the Kennedy
brothers. Oh, yeah.
102
00:14:04,877 --> 00:14:07,937
The four boys? Well, see, we were
four brothers too, you know.
103
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:10,948
My brother, Harold, you know, he
had the same charisma.
104
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:12,948
The women, they all...
105
00:14:13,085 --> 00:14:15,952
You know, he was a big,
brash redhead. I...
106
00:14:16,021 --> 00:14:17,079
Shit!
107
00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:17,951
Shit!
108
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:19,991
It was TB.
109
00:14:21,093 --> 00:14:23,254
Goddamn TB.
110
00:14:23,395 --> 00:14:26,262
Up and down both sides
of the family.
111
00:14:33,305 --> 00:14:37,571
Got my little brother, Arthur,
in 1925.
112
00:14:40,946 --> 00:14:42,914
And it got my brother, Harold...
113
00:14:44,216 --> 00:14:46,184
in 1933.
114
00:14:47,253 --> 00:14:50,188
But in those days you went to...
115
00:14:50,322 --> 00:14:52,491
Well, actually, my mother,
she took us to...
116
00:14:52,491 --> 00:14:54,186
uh, Arizona for the dry air.
117
00:14:54,326 --> 00:14:56,692
Then I came along later in
the summer too...
118
00:14:56,829 --> 00:14:59,229
to work as a barker at the
carnival there...
119
00:14:59,331 --> 00:15:02,198
at the, uh, uh, Slippery
Gulch rodeo.
120
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:04,470
Then, years later, that son of a
bitch wrote that I was...
121
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:06,529
a shill for a crooked card game!
122
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:09,199
That bastard! Son of a bitch!
L-I... But...
123
00:15:09,275 --> 00:15:11,402
But my... my old man...
124
00:15:11,477 --> 00:15:15,413
he-he called it a-a fat cat's
lunger clinic.
125
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:18,416
My old man was very... He had a
certain kind... He was...
126
00:15:18,484 --> 00:15:20,509
Ah, shit!
127
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:23,521
Arthur was only seven years old.
128
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:25,489
He was the worst.
129
00:15:25,624 --> 00:15:29,287
God, he was so cute. Goddamn TB!
130
00:15:29,395 --> 00:15:31,697
That's the reason that we came to
California in the first place...
131
00:15:31,697 --> 00:15:33,460
because of the climate.
132
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:35,533
And they all died anyway.
133
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:37,503
I used to lay awake at night trying
to figure out...
134
00:15:37,503 --> 00:15:39,061
how the hell I got...
135
00:15:41,173 --> 00:15:43,733
When I was a child...
136
00:15:43,842 --> 00:15:46,538
the sweetest sound I ever heard...
137
00:15:47,579 --> 00:15:49,479
was the sound...
138
00:15:49,548 --> 00:15:51,709
of the Santa Fe Railway.
139
00:16:06,031 --> 00:16:09,330
'Tonight I see the face of a child.
140
00:16:09,435 --> 00:16:14,099
'He is black. He is white. He is
Mexican, Italian, Polish.
141
00:16:14,173 --> 00:16:16,073
'None of that matters.
142
00:16:16,175 --> 00:16:19,111
'What does matter is that he is
an American child.
143
00:16:19,111 --> 00:16:21,079
'He is American.
144
00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:23,080
'He sleeps the sleep of childhood...
145
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:25,082
'and dreams its dreams.
146
00:16:25,184 --> 00:16:27,084
'But when he awakens...
147
00:16:27,186 --> 00:16:32,021
'he awakens to a living nightmare
of poverty, neglect and despair.
148
00:16:32,124 --> 00:16:36,493
'For him, the American system is
one that feeds his stomach...
149
00:16:36,562 --> 00:16:38,826
and starves his soul. '
150
00:16:38,931 --> 00:16:40,831
That's very good!
151
00:16:40,933 --> 00:16:42,833
That's-That's my favorite.
That's a...
152
00:16:42,901 --> 00:16:44,801
'It breaks... It...
153
00:16:44,903 --> 00:16:46,803
'It breaks his heart...
154
00:16:46,905 --> 00:16:51,740
and in the end it may take his life
on some distant battlefield. '
155
00:16:59,618 --> 00:17:01,984
I see the face...
156
00:17:02,087 --> 00:17:04,055
of another child.
157
00:17:06,892 --> 00:17:08,951
He lies awake at night...
158
00:17:09,061 --> 00:17:11,962
and he hears the train go by...
159
00:17:12,064 --> 00:17:14,259
and he dreams...
160
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:17,267
of faraway places that he
would like to go.
161
00:17:19,838 --> 00:17:23,205
Seems like an impossible dream.
162
00:17:23,308 --> 00:17:26,209
But he is helped on his journey
through life...
163
00:17:26,278 --> 00:17:29,509
by his father, by a gentle
Quaker mother...
164
00:17:29,615 --> 00:17:32,584
by a great football coach...
165
00:17:34,019 --> 00:17:36,078
courageous wife...
166
00:17:37,790 --> 00:17:39,758
and loyal children.
167
00:17:40,826 --> 00:17:43,727
Tonight, ladies and gentlemen...
168
00:17:43,829 --> 00:17:45,763
he stands before you...
169
00:17:45,831 --> 00:17:48,732
nominated for president of
the United States.
170
00:17:48,834 --> 00:17:52,998
You can see why I believe deeply
in the American dream.
171
00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:56,007
For most of us, the American
revolution has been won.
172
00:17:56,108 --> 00:17:59,236
The American dream has come true.
173
00:17:59,344 --> 00:18:03,041
Well, I ask you to help me make
that dream come true...
174
00:18:03,115 --> 00:18:07,677
for millions to whom it is
impossible dream today.
175
00:18:31,076 --> 00:18:33,442
Roberto?
176
00:18:33,545 --> 00:18:37,481
Would you, erase everything,
please, back to...
177
00:18:37,549 --> 00:18:39,676
'I see the face of a...
178
00:18:41,487 --> 00:18:43,648
child. '
179
00:18:43,822 --> 00:18:47,417
Oh, yes, um, would you also send
Fernando's wife a...
180
00:18:49,495 --> 00:18:51,395
Shit!
181
00:18:51,497 --> 00:18:53,397
Goddamn Kennedys!
182
00:18:53,499 --> 00:18:56,366
They stole the 1960 election
in Chicago.
183
00:18:56,502 --> 00:18:59,403
Then they told me to go in there
and blow it wide open.
184
00:18:59,505 --> 00:19:01,973
And I would have! I could
have... Shit!
185
00:19:09,348 --> 00:19:12,784
Um, yes, Roberto, would you, um...
186
00:19:12,885 --> 00:19:15,285
send Fernando's wife a...
187
00:19:15,354 --> 00:19:17,515
a basket of fruit also.
188
00:19:21,026 --> 00:19:23,961
Would you make that a big
basket, please?
189
00:19:25,597 --> 00:19:27,565
Poor woman. She...
190
00:19:27,699 --> 00:19:29,701
She had a...
191
00:19:29,701 --> 00:19:31,066
Because of the... She...
192
00:19:32,905 --> 00:19:36,966
Your Honor, the Watergate was
nothing more than a...
193
00:19:37,109 --> 00:19:39,475
misdemeanor copping a plea,
a third-rate burglary.
194
00:19:39,611 --> 00:19:42,239
It was nothing more than a
convenient hook...
195
00:19:42,314 --> 00:19:44,145
upon which to hang my client's
political body.
196
00:19:45,117 --> 00:19:47,984
Because before anybody in the world
ever heard the word 'Watergate'...
197
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:50,054
the Nixon presidency was over.
198
00:19:50,122 --> 00:19:52,488
Your Honor, my client had faced,
as you know...
199
00:19:52,624 --> 00:19:55,184
the acid test of six major crises.
200
00:19:55,327 --> 00:19:57,261
But I... See...
201
00:19:57,329 --> 00:19:59,631
this is not like 1952...
202
00:19:59,631 --> 00:20:02,566
when I could go to the public with
my side of the story.
203
00:20:02,634 --> 00:20:04,636
Oh, yes!
204
00:20:04,636 --> 00:20:06,638
You see, the whole country
was waiting.
205
00:20:06,638 --> 00:20:10,199
Ike had just dropped me like a...
That bastard son of a...
206
00:20:10,342 --> 00:20:12,537
Well, when the cameras came on,
I was going to...
207
00:20:12,644 --> 00:20:14,646
drop out of the race.
208
00:20:14,646 --> 00:20:18,082
As a matter of fact, I had
promised Pat...
209
00:20:18,150 --> 00:20:20,084
that I was going to...
210
00:20:20,152 --> 00:20:22,518
Pat, of course, is my... Out
of the race... Wife.
211
00:20:22,621 --> 00:20:24,521
Well, you know, it's true.
212
00:20:24,623 --> 00:20:28,460
She did still believe in me
in 1952.
213
00:20:28,460 --> 00:20:29,688
When someone believes in you,
someone to whom...
214
00:20:29,761 --> 00:20:31,463
you've made a promise to...
215
00:20:31,463 --> 00:20:33,465
I couldn't! I...
216
00:20:33,465 --> 00:20:36,434
Well, then when I lost in
California in '62...
217
00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:38,934
I really was going to drop
out of the race.
218
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:42,529
As a matter of fact, I wrote it...
Well, I wrote it down.
219
00:20:42,641 --> 00:20:45,804
And I-I carried it around in my...
220
00:20:45,877 --> 00:20:47,777
The-The promise...
221
00:20:47,879 --> 00:20:50,279
to-to Pat.
222
00:20:50,382 --> 00:20:52,282
'I promise not to run for public'...
223
00:20:52,384 --> 00:20:54,875
In my, uh, wallet...
224
00:20:54,987 --> 00:20:57,046
I couldn't! I...
225
00:20:57,189 --> 00:20:58,656
Well, even then, of course,
you know, she...
226
00:20:58,724 --> 00:21:00,385
she did believe in me.
227
00:21:00,525 --> 00:21:02,459
And they spit on her down in
South America.
228
00:21:02,527 --> 00:21:05,462
My God, I'm so sorry for that.
But I couldn't...
229
00:21:05,530 --> 00:21:07,464
I couldn't quit...
230
00:21:07,532 --> 00:21:11,195
with my tail between my, you
know, legs like that!
231
00:21:11,303 --> 00:21:14,238
My wife does not wear
a mink coat!
232
00:21:14,306 --> 00:21:18,208
My wife wears a good Republican
cloth coat.
233
00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:20,801
And my little dog, Checkers, he...
234
00:21:23,115 --> 00:21:25,015
And I cried.
235
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:27,017
And the public cried with me.
236
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,611
And Ike... The old man couldn't
get rid of me! Yes!
237
00:21:30,689 --> 00:21:33,954
I could always cry in public.
238
00:21:34,092 --> 00:21:36,788
Dr. Birdsell, my dramatic
coach in school...
239
00:21:36,928 --> 00:21:39,055
always said that I...
240
00:21:39,197 --> 00:21:43,600
was the most melancholy Dane
that he had ever directed.
241
00:21:43,769 --> 00:21:45,396
To be...
242
00:21:45,537 --> 00:21:47,505
or not...
243
00:21:50,642 --> 00:21:52,610
Yes.
244
00:21:53,679 --> 00:21:55,909
That is the question, all right.
245
00:21:57,249 --> 00:21:59,717
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind...
246
00:21:59,818 --> 00:22:04,278
to suffer the slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune...
247
00:22:04,389 --> 00:22:07,790
or to take arms against...
248
00:22:07,893 --> 00:22:11,294
Look, I am not your stinking
caddy anymore.
249
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:13,830
Everyone used to say that Adlai
Stevenson was Hamlet.
250
00:22:13,932 --> 00:22:15,661
No, no, that is not true. It was
me who was really...
251
00:22:15,734 --> 00:22:17,793
Hamlet, and Ike was the king!
252
00:22:17,903 --> 00:22:20,303
I never even got to see all the
rooms in the White House...
253
00:22:20,439 --> 00:22:22,339
until Johnson became president.
254
00:22:22,407 --> 00:22:25,308
Shit! Ike... Ike introduced me to
a crowd one time...
255
00:22:25,410 --> 00:22:27,310
as Nick Dixon, for Christ's sake!
256
00:22:27,412 --> 00:22:28,640
See, what he would do... He would
drag his coattails...
257
00:22:28,747 --> 00:22:30,772
then he would pull them away...
258
00:22:30,882 --> 00:22:33,783
and he would leave me standing
there high and dry.
259
00:22:33,885 --> 00:22:36,149
I was running. L-I was always
running.
260
00:22:36,254 --> 00:22:37,687
I was trying so hard to make
the team that...
261
00:22:37,756 --> 00:22:39,656
I was always offside's. Well...
262
00:22:39,725 --> 00:22:41,659
Just like my old man.
263
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,729
He sold the lemon grove. Then
they discovered oil on it.
264
00:22:44,896 --> 00:22:46,796
Well, shit!
265
00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:48,765
Not me. Not to the manor born.
266
00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:54,134
You see, I had to pretend not to
see all the snubs and...
267
00:22:54,239 --> 00:22:55,968
the sniggers and the sneers.
268
00:22:56,074 --> 00:22:57,974
I had to put up a front.
269
00:22:58,076 --> 00:23:01,170
Welcome to Denmark!
270
00:23:02,180 --> 00:23:05,047
My-My first debate when I was
in high school...
271
00:23:05,183 --> 00:23:08,084
resolved, 'Girls are no good,'
and I won!
272
00:23:10,188 --> 00:23:13,453
My second debate resolved, 'Cows
are better than horses. '
273
00:23:13,525 --> 00:23:15,459
You see, I...
274
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,494
I always hated girls.
275
00:23:17,596 --> 00:23:19,464
Well, you know, in high school
I couldn't...
276
00:23:19,464 --> 00:23:20,453
I couldn't stay away from 'em.
277
00:23:20,565 --> 00:23:23,502
You know how it is when you're.
You know what I did?
278
00:23:23,502 --> 00:23:25,493
I founded the Orthogonian Society.
279
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:28,767
That's all boys, no girls. Just
square shooters.
280
00:23:28,874 --> 00:23:30,774
And our motto was...
281
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,538
'Beans, Brains, Brawn and Bowels. '
282
00:23:33,645 --> 00:23:35,545
And we-we had this...
283
00:23:35,647 --> 00:23:38,241
We-We all used to...
284
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,080
All hail the mighty boar
285
00:23:41,219 --> 00:23:43,619
Our patron beast is he
286
00:23:43,789 --> 00:23:46,349
Ecrasons I'infame
287
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:48,860
Our battle cry will be
288
00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:51,021
Brothers together
289
00:23:51,196 --> 00:23:52,993
We'll travel on and on
290
00:23:53,064 --> 00:23:54,895
Worthy the name
291
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,096
Of Orthogonian
292
00:24:05,377 --> 00:24:07,937
Resolved-Resolved to win, period...
293
00:24:08,046 --> 00:24:09,946
because that is the American system.
294
00:24:10,048 --> 00:24:12,949
You take either side... It doesn't
even matter which one...
295
00:24:13,018 --> 00:24:14,952
and you go on the attack!
296
00:24:15,053 --> 00:24:17,453
It's like football... No! No, no, no,
no. It's like poker.
297
00:24:17,556 --> 00:24:20,058
The winners make jokes,
but the loser says...
298
00:24:20,058 --> 00:24:21,218
'Deal! Deal! Deal! Deal! Deal! '
299
00:24:26,865 --> 00:24:30,858
Roberto, would you erase all
that crap, please.
300
00:24:30,969 --> 00:24:34,427
Back to the lesser of two evils.
301
00:24:34,506 --> 00:24:37,805
No, no, no, no. Back about... Before
the break-in.
302
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:43,080
Thank you, Roberto.
303
00:24:45,116 --> 00:24:47,084
Your Honor...
304
00:24:48,186 --> 00:24:50,086
there were three charges...
305
00:24:50,188 --> 00:24:52,213
of impeachment brought
against me.
306
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:55,259
None of them could be proved.
They all knew that.
307
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,850
Kennedy's hit man, John Doar...
308
00:24:57,829 --> 00:25:00,263
And he had a hundred bloodhounds
working for him.
309
00:25:00,332 --> 00:25:03,233
They told him... And we have ways
of knowing this, Your Honor...
310
00:25:03,368 --> 00:25:06,269
They told him, 'There is no case
against the president, period. '
311
00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:08,670
Your Honor, the impeachment
process itself was...
312
00:25:08,740 --> 00:25:10,708
simply the grandest cover-up of all.
313
00:25:10,842 --> 00:25:12,711
There can only be one... And
you know this...
314
00:25:12,711 --> 00:25:14,178
one impeachment charge...
315
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:15,610
and that is, treason, bribery and
other high crimes...
316
00:25:15,714 --> 00:25:17,181
and misdemeanors.
317
00:25:17,282 --> 00:25:19,182
Well, so they brought a load of...
318
00:25:19,284 --> 00:25:22,947
Well, shit, we gave them a load of
chicken-shit charges against me...
319
00:25:23,054 --> 00:25:25,955
and none of them stuck, and none
of their theories either.
320
00:25:26,024 --> 00:25:28,993
You see, I happen to know what was
going on inside the committee.
321
00:25:29,094 --> 00:25:30,994
Shit, the theories, for
Christ's sake!
322
00:25:31,062 --> 00:25:34,964
Let's see, there was the tip of the...
iceberg theory. Hmm?
323
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:38,194
Oh, yes, then there was the
narrow... escape theory.
324
00:25:38,336 --> 00:25:40,736
Oh, the robber baron baloney
and all that crap...
325
00:25:40,805 --> 00:25:44,707
Oh! We must not forget the higher
Standard... of... conduct theory.
326
00:25:44,809 --> 00:25:46,709
That's rich!
327
00:25:46,811 --> 00:25:49,211
The Founding Fathers caused
the White House...
328
00:25:49,314 --> 00:25:52,215
to be built in a swamp in the first
place, for Christ's sake...
329
00:25:52,317 --> 00:25:54,217
and Congress up on a goddamn hill!
330
00:25:54,286 --> 00:25:55,654
The Founding Fathers were
nothing more than...
331
00:25:55,654 --> 00:25:57,713
a bunch of snotty English shits...
332
00:25:57,822 --> 00:26:00,723
who never trusted any elected
president to begin with!
333
00:26:00,825 --> 00:26:04,022
So, why then, Your Honor, did my
client resign voluntarily...
334
00:26:04,162 --> 00:26:07,097
when the fact is that Richard Nixon
not only need not have quit...
335
00:26:07,198 --> 00:26:09,598
but in fact could have stayed
on beyond the...
336
00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:14,037
Your Honor, something happened
to my client.
337
00:26:14,172 --> 00:26:17,437
The year is 1945.
338
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:19,441
Okay, Roberto...
339
00:26:19,544 --> 00:26:23,947
that is the end of the, prologue.
340
00:26:24,049 --> 00:26:26,609
The next section will be, um...
341
00:26:26,685 --> 00:26:28,720
1945...
342
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,620
through 1952.
343
00:26:30,722 --> 00:26:34,214
So would you please make
a separate...
344
00:26:34,326 --> 00:26:37,090
uh, you know, for each of the...
You know.
345
00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:38,194
Okay, Your Honor...
346
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:39,161
Okay, Your Honor...
347
00:26:39,264 --> 00:26:41,232
in 1939 I went to Cuba.
348
00:26:41,399 --> 00:26:44,300
I...
349
00:26:44,369 --> 00:26:47,634
A-A-After I almost got disbarred...
350
00:26:47,706 --> 00:26:50,106
for signing some client's
name to a...
351
00:26:52,210 --> 00:26:54,872
Roberto, would you erase
that, please?
352
00:26:55,013 --> 00:26:57,743
Your Honor, I am trying
to tell you...
353
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,842
about 1945.
354
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,443
I was just getting out of the navy.
355
00:27:03,521 --> 00:27:06,649
An ad appeared in the Whittier
Daily News.
356
00:27:07,726 --> 00:27:09,626
I will never forget it.
357
00:27:09,728 --> 00:27:11,457
It said...
358
00:27:11,563 --> 00:27:14,498
'Wanted: Young man...
359
00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:17,500
'interested in running
for Congress.
360
00:27:17,569 --> 00:27:19,469
Veteran preferred. '
361
00:27:19,571 --> 00:27:23,473
And then they listed the name
of a committee...
362
00:27:23,608 --> 00:27:25,508
to contact.
363
00:27:25,610 --> 00:27:29,273
So, well, I-I took some of my
poker winnings and I...
364
00:27:29,381 --> 00:27:31,440
flew out there in my uniform,
of course.
365
00:27:31,549 --> 00:27:35,417
If the choice of this committee
comes to me...
366
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,923
I promise to wage an aggressive
and vigorous campaign...
367
00:27:40,025 --> 00:27:44,086
based on a platform of practical
liberalism.
368
00:27:47,065 --> 00:27:48,965
Well, it was those men...
369
00:27:49,067 --> 00:27:51,592
I-I did, Your Honor. I
answered the ad.
370
00:27:52,837 --> 00:27:55,328
They called themselves the
Committee of 100.
371
00:27:55,407 --> 00:27:59,070
But the name's changed many times
over the years, oh, yes.
372
00:27:59,177 --> 00:28:03,079
Committee for a Free Iran,
a free Guatemala...
373
00:28:03,214 --> 00:28:04,203
a free Congo...
374
00:28:05,216 --> 00:28:08,344
a free...
375
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:10,320
But always Taiwan. Oh, yes.
376
00:28:10,455 --> 00:28:13,447
Always for a free Taiwan.
377
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:16,460
So, they did, Your Honor.
They selected me.
378
00:28:16,561 --> 00:28:20,429
And they took my client up to
Bohemian Grove.
379
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:23,467
Now, that is where the
China plan was...
380
00:28:25,136 --> 00:28:28,105
That's where I got the message.
381
00:28:29,441 --> 00:28:31,341
Yes.
382
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:34,606
Up there in, uh, Bohemian Grove...
383
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,078
deep in the California Redwoods...
384
00:28:37,082 --> 00:28:41,212
with the-the dogs and
the guards and...
385
00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:45,380
the prostitutes from Guerneville
at the caveman camp... I...
386
00:28:45,457 --> 00:28:47,391
Your Honor, this young man,
Richard Nixon...
387
00:28:47,492 --> 00:28:49,824
this boy from a poor family...
388
00:28:49,928 --> 00:28:52,829
a boy who never had a break,
who never had a chance...
389
00:28:52,931 --> 00:28:54,990
he was just overwhelmed
by these big men...
390
00:28:55,066 --> 00:28:56,090
on the Committee of 100...
391
00:28:59,003 --> 00:29:01,904
because they showed
him a vision...
392
00:29:02,006 --> 00:29:05,237
of the riches and power
of this world...
393
00:29:05,343 --> 00:29:08,244
and he drank their words and
their visions, he...
394
00:29:08,346 --> 00:29:11,247
He had a little sip of their
whiskey too...
395
00:29:11,349 --> 00:29:13,249
this poor boy who couldn't drink.
396
00:29:13,318 --> 00:29:15,252
Didn't know how to drink...
397
00:29:15,353 --> 00:29:18,220
because of his strict Quaker
background.
398
00:29:18,356 --> 00:29:20,324
And so, he...
399
00:29:21,159 --> 00:29:25,255
I may have said and done some
things up there that...
400
00:29:25,396 --> 00:29:27,626
came back to haunt me...
401
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:29,666
25 years later...
402
00:29:29,734 --> 00:29:33,170
when the real China card
was played.
403
00:29:33,238 --> 00:29:36,139
I... Your Honor, that first night up
there in the Grove...
404
00:29:36,274 --> 00:29:38,640
I couldn't sleep all night. I was
awake... Then...
405
00:29:38,743 --> 00:29:40,643
Well, you know, the big German
shepherd dogs...
406
00:29:40,745 --> 00:29:42,645
they're howling all night,
you know.
407
00:29:42,714 --> 00:29:45,114
But it was way off, you know,
in the in...
408
00:29:45,216 --> 00:29:46,718
And the men, you know, they're...
they're laughing...
409
00:29:46,718 --> 00:29:48,117
singing, dancing.
410
00:29:48,219 --> 00:29:50,779
You know, football songs mostly.
Marches, you know.
411
00:29:50,855 --> 00:29:53,790
So, naturally, I was unable to
get any... All the...
412
00:29:53,858 --> 00:29:57,385
But it was, you know... It was way
off there in the...
413
00:29:57,529 --> 00:29:59,429
distance.
414
00:30:17,982 --> 00:30:19,950
It was very...
415
00:30:21,052 --> 00:30:24,021
far away.
416
00:30:46,077 --> 00:30:48,170
It's a little out of...
417
00:30:49,914 --> 00:30:52,348
But you were my mother's piano...
418
00:30:52,417 --> 00:30:56,376
and that fucking museum is not
going to get you!
419
00:31:25,850 --> 00:31:28,785
Your Honor, I forgot to tell you
about the whores.
420
00:31:28,853 --> 00:31:30,684
Now, look, these guys were
not homos from...
421
00:31:30,755 --> 00:31:33,223
Westchester County or Cambridge.
422
00:31:33,358 --> 00:31:36,293
You know, this is not old money
or 'the better sort. '
423
00:31:36,427 --> 00:31:39,521
I mean, these guys were Armenians
and, Italians and Irish.
424
00:31:39,631 --> 00:31:42,191
You know, assorted white trash. Men!
425
00:31:42,367 --> 00:31:44,969
And what they wanted was a
political laboratory...
426
00:31:44,969 --> 00:31:47,938
and that is what they made
California into...
427
00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:50,906
a kind of a, uh, proving ground
for later on.
428
00:31:51,042 --> 00:31:55,604
You understand why all this was
music to my ears?
429
00:32:08,192 --> 00:32:10,160
Your Honor, it was the words.
430
00:32:10,261 --> 00:32:12,661
That was the real music to my
ears, because I-I...
431
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:14,664
You know what Coach said?
432
00:32:14,766 --> 00:32:17,166
Coach said if you could run... me,
number 23...
433
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:19,668
if you could run the ball the way
you run your mouth...
434
00:32:19,771 --> 00:32:21,873
winning the big prizes, why...
435
00:32:21,873 --> 00:32:24,842
I'm gonna be a winner... Yes! Because
I've always been...
436
00:32:24,909 --> 00:32:26,740
Now, these guys dancing with
the hookers, these...
437
00:32:26,811 --> 00:32:27,879
guys were real winners!
438
00:32:27,879 --> 00:32:29,710
I couldn't dance, not worth a
goddamn. My old man...
439
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:31,442
he wouldn't dance.
440
00:32:31,582 --> 00:32:32,708
He said it gave him a, You know...
441
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:34,445
it aroused him. You know?
442
00:32:34,552 --> 00:32:37,953
Me too! So now, you can imagine I
took a hell of a kidding on that.
443
00:32:38,056 --> 00:32:41,287
But... you know what I did when I ran
for student council president?
444
00:32:41,426 --> 00:32:42,723
I promised a liberal dress and
dance code. And you...
445
00:32:42,794 --> 00:32:44,386
know something? I won!
446
00:32:46,531 --> 00:32:48,396
My old man hated politicians.
447
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:49,727
So there's me saying, 'Daddy, when
I grow up I'm gonna...
448
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:51,428
be an old-fashioned man.
449
00:32:51,502 --> 00:32:54,403
I'm gonna be an honest lawyer. I'm
not gonna take any bribes. '
450
00:32:54,505 --> 00:32:56,666
Shit! If he'd gone beyond the sixth
grade, poor bastard...
451
00:32:56,774 --> 00:32:59,242
would know that we were all crooks!
452
00:33:01,312 --> 00:33:03,803
Well, shit!
453
00:33:03,915 --> 00:33:06,315
I had the last laugh on that
son of a bitch!
454
00:33:06,417 --> 00:33:08,817
When I won that scholarship
to Duke... I... You see...
455
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,820
I still was not a winner yet.
456
00:33:10,922 --> 00:33:13,823
A winner does not have to break
into the dean's office the...
457
00:33:13,925 --> 00:33:15,790
way I did to find out what
his grades are.
458
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,360
But I did graduate third in
my class, though.
459
00:33:18,463 --> 00:33:19,691
But then, when we all went
to New York to...
460
00:33:19,764 --> 00:33:21,994
interview for some big
time law firms...
461
00:33:22,166 --> 00:33:25,033
I was a little out of my league,
and I knew that.
462
00:33:25,169 --> 00:33:26,693
But I also knew this... I knew
that New York...
463
00:33:26,771 --> 00:33:28,534
was the big time. Oh, yeah.
464
00:33:28,639 --> 00:33:30,539
The big, big money!
465
00:33:30,641 --> 00:33:34,042
I mean, New York, with the clubs
and the fast track!
466
00:33:34,145 --> 00:33:36,545
I'll tell you this... in New York,
money talks!
467
00:33:36,647 --> 00:33:39,047
Oh, yeah. Money talks, talks,
talks, talks, talks.
468
00:33:39,117 --> 00:33:42,177
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah Yes,
sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
469
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,880
Anyway, Your Honor, what
I wanted to do...
470
00:33:44,989 --> 00:33:47,890
I wanted to join the Dulles
brothers' law firm.
471
00:33:47,992 --> 00:33:49,687
That's Sullivan and Cromwell.
You know, thick...
472
00:33:49,794 --> 00:33:52,354
plush carpeting and...
473
00:33:52,463 --> 00:33:56,422
East Coast shits is what
they really were.
474
00:33:56,567 --> 00:33:59,058
Well, my two friends, they, um...
475
00:33:59,203 --> 00:34:02,070
they did get taken on by one
of the big law firms.
476
00:34:02,173 --> 00:34:06,405
I did not. Well, then I tried
to join the FBI.
477
00:34:06,511 --> 00:34:08,411
I got turned down again.
478
00:34:08,513 --> 00:34:10,743
I mean, Hoover- I worshipped
Hoover! See?
479
00:34:10,815 --> 00:34:12,680
Then years later that son of a
bitch Hoover, he...
480
00:34:12,784 --> 00:34:14,081
tried to stab me in the back!
481
00:34:14,185 --> 00:34:16,085
Fuck him! Your Honor...
482
00:34:16,154 --> 00:34:17,678
What I'm trying to say here is that
the Committee...
483
00:34:17,789 --> 00:34:19,086
of 100 had a plan...
484
00:34:19,157 --> 00:34:21,091
and that was it.
485
00:34:21,192 --> 00:34:23,092
In 1946, '48, '50, right
on through.
486
00:34:23,227 --> 00:34:25,787
I... Look.
487
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:31,634
I was very young.
488
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:35,205
I was a kid.
489
00:34:35,339 --> 00:34:37,830
And they gave me the blueprint...
490
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:41,712
for my life.
491
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:44,748
You understand that?
492
00:34:47,552 --> 00:34:51,613
Well, tha-that's when, uh, Murray
Chotiner came into the picture.
493
00:34:51,722 --> 00:34:54,418
Well, because Murray, he was
the link to Lansky...
494
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:57,858
and Ratner and-and the Mob and...
495
00:34:59,363 --> 00:35:01,695
You see, what Hiss and the
Kennedys, all those...
496
00:35:01,766 --> 00:35:04,030
East Coast pricks, never
understood was...
497
00:35:04,168 --> 00:35:07,069
that I would be a winner because
I was a loser.
498
00:35:07,171 --> 00:35:08,695
That's right. I dream of failure
every night of my life...
499
00:35:08,773 --> 00:35:11,037
and that is my secret.
500
00:35:11,175 --> 00:35:12,743
To make it in this rat race, you
have to dream of failing...
501
00:35:12,743 --> 00:35:15,507
every day. I mean, that is reality.
502
00:35:15,646 --> 00:35:17,807
Jews, niggers, Reds, kikes...
503
00:35:17,949 --> 00:35:19,814
old Nixons, new Nixons.
504
00:35:19,951 --> 00:35:23,717
Because I am an American. A real
American... that's me!
505
00:35:23,821 --> 00:35:26,984
I'm not some rich Ivy League prince
that thinks that he is a winner.
506
00:35:27,058 --> 00:35:30,619
See? What the big guys thought was,
is that I was a dogcatcher.
507
00:35:30,761 --> 00:35:33,924
Yeah, I was. I am! And a used
car salesman too.
508
00:35:34,065 --> 00:35:35,930
Oh, s-sure, fine!
509
00:35:36,067 --> 00:35:37,932
And a siding and a shingle man.
510
00:35:38,035 --> 00:35:41,539
Because I knew that today the
dogcatcher is king!
511
00:35:41,539 --> 00:35:44,030
And all those crooks and
those shysters...
512
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:47,009
and those mobsters and those
lobsters... I mean, lobbyists...
513
00:35:47,078 --> 00:35:49,380
I mean, all the well... fed... all the
welfare bums...
514
00:35:49,380 --> 00:35:50,745
and tramps in this country...
515
00:35:50,848 --> 00:35:53,316
that is your palace guard!
516
00:35:58,689 --> 00:36:00,657
Shit.
517
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,751
Let 'em suck on that for a while.
518
00:36:20,711 --> 00:36:22,679
Shit!
519
00:36:24,916 --> 00:36:27,476
I could have beaten Kennedy.
520
00:36:27,585 --> 00:36:29,520
I could have won...
521
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,488
in 1960.
522
00:36:31,589 --> 00:36:33,524
But, see...
523
00:36:33,524 --> 00:36:37,392
goddamn C.I.A., they went and they
told Kennedy all about the...
524
00:36:37,528 --> 00:36:39,393
the track-two operation
against Castro...
525
00:36:39,530 --> 00:36:42,761
and then Jack, he out-red-baited me
by attacking Castro...
526
00:36:42,833 --> 00:36:44,698
and that made me look soft.
527
00:36:44,835 --> 00:36:47,702
I mean, they promised me that
the invasion would...
528
00:36:47,838 --> 00:36:50,241
the 'executive action'
against Castro...
529
00:36:50,241 --> 00:36:52,209
would take place before
the election.
530
00:36:52,343 --> 00:36:54,208
I mean, God, how they screwed me!
531
00:36:54,345 --> 00:36:56,711
I could have won. I could have won.
I could have beaten Kennedy.
532
00:36:56,814 --> 00:36:59,214
Look, it was me with the 54-12
Special Group...
533
00:36:59,317 --> 00:37:01,717
who'd planned the whole damn thing
in the first place.
534
00:37:01,819 --> 00:37:04,686
Yeah, I would have bombed 'em.
How I would have bombed 'em!
535
00:37:04,822 --> 00:37:07,723
But, you see, Castro, he was very
smart. Boy. Boy, boy.
536
00:37:07,825 --> 00:37:09,759
When Eisenhower refused to
meet with Castro...
537
00:37:09,827 --> 00:37:11,988
when he came to this country
before the election...
538
00:37:12,129 --> 00:37:14,029
And then that son of a bitch Castro...
539
00:37:14,165 --> 00:37:15,689
he went up there and he had lunch
with the goddamn...
540
00:37:15,766 --> 00:37:17,028
colored waiters...
541
00:37:17,134 --> 00:37:19,034
at the Theresa Hotel in Harlem!
542
00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:20,694
I would have got him! We already
had the poison...
543
00:37:20,771 --> 00:37:22,033
for Christ's sake!
544
00:37:22,139 --> 00:37:25,506
We had tested it on some monkeys...
Shit! Where's my fucking drink?
545
00:37:26,510 --> 00:37:29,274
H-H-Hey, Jack, Jack,
Jack, Jack, Jack.
546
00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:32,281
I mean, shit, nobody could beaten
Kennedy, for Christ's sake.
547
00:37:32,383 --> 00:37:34,619
He was a big, good-lookin'
Irishman, and he...
548
00:37:34,619 --> 00:37:36,109
had that shock of hair.
549
00:37:36,220 --> 00:37:39,121
Just like my brother Harold. They
had the same charisma, you know.
550
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:40,690
The women, they all jump up and
down... Shit! His wife...
551
00:37:40,758 --> 00:37:43,158
was a goddamn clotheshorse.
552
00:37:43,261 --> 00:37:44,694
Shit! Pat was 48 years old,
for Christ's sake!
553
00:37:44,795 --> 00:37:46,729
What was Jackie, thir...
554
00:37:46,831 --> 00:37:49,197
What the fuck is this, for
Christ's sake?
555
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:52,201
And-And... I went to the wedding.
Did you know that?
556
00:37:52,303 --> 00:37:55,170
And Jack, he liked me. Oh, no,
he did. Jack liked me.
557
00:37:55,306 --> 00:37:57,968
He congratulated me when I beat
Helen Gahagan Douglas.
558
00:37:58,075 --> 00:38:00,976
His old man even contributed money
to my campaign.
559
00:38:01,045 --> 00:38:03,946
Well, it's true, of course, you
know, that we were...
560
00:38:04,048 --> 00:38:06,608
black Irish and they were...
561
00:38:06,751 --> 00:38:09,914
Look, we both had our tragedies.
562
00:38:12,323 --> 00:38:14,223
Brothers.
563
00:38:14,325 --> 00:38:16,293
Four boys.
564
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:20,196
And the Catholic thing...
565
00:38:20,264 --> 00:38:22,164
I never used that.
566
00:38:22,266 --> 00:38:24,200
I didn't!
567
00:38:25,636 --> 00:38:29,094
Shit. See, then the debates
came along.
568
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:32,505
And everybody said that I was
like Cicero. They said...
569
00:38:32,610 --> 00:38:34,771
They said, 'How well he speaks! '
570
00:38:34,845 --> 00:38:36,676
And then when Demosthenes
spoke, everybody...
571
00:38:36,747 --> 00:38:37,736
said, 'How smart! Yes! '
572
00:38:40,051 --> 00:38:44,215
Goddamn Jack, he was something
else. I'll tell you that.
573
00:38:44,288 --> 00:38:46,882
Then -Then I got rattled...
574
00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:48,686
when the press got a hold of that
Howard Hughes...
575
00:38:48,793 --> 00:38:50,124
loan to my brother...
576
00:38:50,227 --> 00:38:52,252
for that wacko scheme of his...
577
00:38:52,396 --> 00:38:54,887
to sell Nixon burgers!
578
00:38:57,601 --> 00:39:01,332
And then Haldeman, he goes and
calls Martin Luther King...
579
00:39:01,439 --> 00:39:03,669
a nigger on the teleph...
580
00:39:03,774 --> 00:39:06,140
But the worst was, three days
before the election...
581
00:39:06,210 --> 00:39:09,373
when I slipped and called for
peace and surrender.
582
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,505
That was the dumbest thing
I ever did!
583
00:39:16,053 --> 00:39:19,784
My poor goddamn dumb brothers.
584
00:39:19,857 --> 00:39:24,294
Did you know that I had to put all
my brothers under surveillance...
585
00:39:24,395 --> 00:39:26,886
because of that...
586
00:39:27,064 --> 00:39:29,965
Then my brother Don's kid, he goes
and runs off and joins...
587
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:32,434
some dirty hippie commune.
588
00:39:32,536 --> 00:39:34,672
Then they have to get some
investigator to wade...
589
00:39:34,672 --> 00:39:36,469
through all that crap...
590
00:39:36,574 --> 00:39:39,475
drag him back by the ears, put
him to work for...
591
00:39:42,179 --> 00:39:45,876
I-Imean, my goddamn family alone...
592
00:39:45,950 --> 00:39:47,918
could have ruined me!
593
00:39:58,028 --> 00:39:59,928
Shit.
594
00:40:00,030 --> 00:40:02,266
I still couldn't sleep.
595
00:40:02,266 --> 00:40:04,166
Right up to the election. Shit.
596
00:40:04,301 --> 00:40:06,201
I couldn't neutralize the Hughes
thing because the...
597
00:40:06,303 --> 00:40:07,702
Committee of 100, they were
tapping her...
598
00:40:07,772 --> 00:40:09,637
Marilyn Monroe.
599
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:12,641
You know, the Kennedy boys, you
know, they were all big studs...
600
00:40:12,743 --> 00:40:14,643
like their old man.
601
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:16,680
Like my brother, Harold.
602
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,749
And you know something else?
That is what killed...
603
00:40:18,749 --> 00:40:20,114
him too. That's right!
604
00:40:20,251 --> 00:40:23,152
No women allowed up at Bohemian
Grove. No, sir, not real women!
605
00:40:23,220 --> 00:40:25,120
We were a different type from
that Kennedy crowd.
606
00:40:25,256 --> 00:40:27,121
I was sure as hell a different type.
607
00:40:27,258 --> 00:40:28,759
You know, in all those years,
I never... I didn't...
608
00:40:28,759 --> 00:40:30,158
I-I... I-I... Not one time, I didn't...
609
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:32,396
But I didn't quit! That's right!
610
00:40:32,396 --> 00:40:34,999
Not even in '74! I could
have! I...
611
00:40:34,999 --> 00:40:37,399
I could have burned the tapes and
stonewalled it.
612
00:40:37,501 --> 00:40:39,628
Let the big guys fight it out up
there at Bohemian Grove.
613
00:40:40,905 --> 00:40:42,270
And let the country go
fascist by 1980.
614
00:40:42,406 --> 00:40:44,775
Oh, that's right, Your Honor.
I am talking shooting...
615
00:40:44,775 --> 00:40:46,538
it out in the streets.
616
00:40:46,610 --> 00:40:49,579
I mean civil war in this country
by 1977...
617
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,615
You understand why I had
to withdraw?
618
00:40:52,716 --> 00:40:54,718
Why I had to lay my life on
the line to stop...
619
00:40:54,718 --> 00:40:57,050
fascism and communism?
620
00:40:57,188 --> 00:40:59,679
Fuck! The goddamn Yankees,
Ford... They get the...
621
00:40:59,790 --> 00:41:02,088
fuckin' presidency anyway!
622
00:41:02,193 --> 00:41:05,424
And the goddamn cowboys, Bush
They get the C.I.A.
623
00:41:05,563 --> 00:41:06,697
And what the hell do I get for
following orders...
624
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:09,564
for 30 goddamn years?
625
00:41:09,667 --> 00:41:13,068
Is this it? A fuckin' pardon?
And disgrace? Shit!
626
00:41:15,139 --> 00:41:19,235
Look, I tried to give them their
dirty little war in Chile.
627
00:41:21,779 --> 00:41:23,679
Did you know...
628
00:41:23,781 --> 00:41:25,681
that that Allende...
629
00:41:25,749 --> 00:41:27,979
was a worse whoremonger...
630
00:41:28,052 --> 00:41:30,418
than you-know-who?
631
00:41:37,595 --> 00:41:38,619
You see...
632
00:41:39,630 --> 00:41:42,030
they didn't have to kill him
like that.
633
00:41:42,099 --> 00:41:43,999
Not like that, they didn't.
634
00:41:44,101 --> 00:41:46,001
But, look, I could have hung tough.
635
00:41:46,103 --> 00:41:48,970
I could have called on my political
base like de Gaulle.
636
00:41:49,039 --> 00:41:51,439
I could have called out Main Street
against Wall Street, but I didn't.
637
00:41:51,542 --> 00:41:54,443
I said, 'I'll go! ' I did it for ev
For Christ's...
638
00:41:54,512 --> 00:41:57,481
I did it for the little people, for
Maggie and Jiggs...
639
00:41:57,548 --> 00:41:59,448
for my people for all...
640
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:02,645
the failed ranchers and farmers
people just like my old man.
641
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:04,688
I did it for the goddamn cab
drivers and the fuckin'...
642
00:42:04,755 --> 00:42:06,985
grocery store clerks...
643
00:42:07,091 --> 00:42:10,618
and the cockroach capitalists and
the traveling salesmen, I...
644
00:42:10,728 --> 00:42:14,289
For the forgotten American.
For the silent majority.
645
00:42:14,431 --> 00:42:17,264
In their name I said, screw all
the wise men...
646
00:42:17,334 --> 00:42:20,701
all the tough guys who've sold us
out and stabbed us in the...
647
00:42:20,804 --> 00:42:24,205
Look, I was not elected president
on some other planet.
648
00:42:24,308 --> 00:42:25,969
I'm America!
649
00:42:26,110 --> 00:42:29,011
I am a winner who lost every battle
up to and including the war.
650
00:42:29,079 --> 00:42:31,343
I am not the American nightmare!
651
00:42:31,415 --> 00:42:34,282
I am the American dream. Period!
652
00:42:34,351 --> 00:42:36,512
And that is why the system works...
653
00:42:36,654 --> 00:42:38,747
because I am the system.
654
00:42:38,856 --> 00:42:40,414
Period!
655
00:42:45,029 --> 00:42:48,226
So what I did was, I talked
and I stalled...
656
00:42:48,365 --> 00:42:50,701
and then I finally unleashed Haig...
657
00:42:50,701 --> 00:42:52,896
and that provoked the Saturday
Night Massacre.
658
00:42:53,003 --> 00:42:55,335
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
You see? This -
659
00:42:55,439 --> 00:42:57,566
This is before I went crazy...
660
00:42:57,708 --> 00:42:59,677
and they had to bring in the army...
661
00:42:59,677 --> 00:43:00,666
to shoot me down on the floor of
the Oval Office...
662
00:43:00,744 --> 00:43:02,644
because I was nuts.
663
00:43:02,746 --> 00:43:05,271
Oh, yeah. They would've
done that, all right.
664
00:43:05,382 --> 00:43:06,679
You see, there was a sinister
force loose in the...
665
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,684
White House, all right...
666
00:43:08,752 --> 00:43:10,947
but it sure as hell was not me.
667
00:43:11,088 --> 00:43:13,955
Look, in the end, I was just a...
668
00:43:14,024 --> 00:43:16,959
I was just an unindicted
co-conspirator...
669
00:43:17,061 --> 00:43:18,961
like everybody else...
670
00:43:19,063 --> 00:43:21,964
in the United States of America.
671
00:43:22,099 --> 00:43:23,999
Yes, that's right, goddamn it!
672
00:43:34,411 --> 00:43:36,743
Yes... Mother.
673
00:43:38,382 --> 00:43:40,350
You were right.
674
00:43:41,452 --> 00:43:42,749
There never was...
675
00:43:43,787 --> 00:43:45,277
a 'new Nixon. '
676
00:43:46,323 --> 00:43:48,223
I am a square...
677
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:50,760
and I always have been.
678
00:43:50,894 --> 00:43:53,226
But I believed in the system.
679
00:43:53,297 --> 00:43:55,197
And that's all I did.
680
00:43:55,299 --> 00:43:57,199
I got out to protect the system.
681
00:43:57,334 --> 00:44:00,237
And look, I did not invent the
system, Mother.
682
00:44:00,237 --> 00:44:03,695
I did. I got out to protect
the presidency.
683
00:44:07,044 --> 00:44:09,911
My God, my God, my God, my God...
684
00:44:10,014 --> 00:44:12,915
how I used to love being president!
685
00:44:13,017 --> 00:44:15,918
I used to enjoy that so much.
686
00:44:16,020 --> 00:44:18,818
I cannot tell you how much
I enjoyed it.
687
00:44:20,991 --> 00:44:24,324
I used to love to sit in the
Lincoln study...
688
00:44:24,461 --> 00:44:26,725
with the fireplace going...
689
00:44:27,865 --> 00:44:30,629
and the air conditioning on.
690
00:44:30,701 --> 00:44:33,693
I used to love to sit in there
and think about...
691
00:44:33,804 --> 00:44:36,102
Lincoln and, uh, Washington.
692
00:44:38,242 --> 00:44:40,608
What a liar he was, huh? That
fuckin' Washington!
693
00:44:43,313 --> 00:44:47,511
I had -The Rose Garden was
so fragrant.
694
00:44:47,584 --> 00:44:49,074
Oh! The yacht.
695
00:44:51,121 --> 00:44:53,055
Sequoia.
696
00:44:53,123 --> 00:44:57,526
I used to love to sit topside on
the fantail of the Sequoia.
697
00:44:57,628 --> 00:45:00,529
Down the Potomac, back to
the navy yard...
698
00:45:00,631 --> 00:45:03,566
sipping drinks with a friend...
699
00:45:03,667 --> 00:45:05,567
and talking geopolitics.
700
00:45:07,137 --> 00:45:10,538
Oh, yes, and the-the jiga-jiga...
th-the nigger...
701
00:45:10,607 --> 00:45:11,665
t-the colored waiters bringing up...
702
00:45:11,742 --> 00:45:14,302
steaks from the galley.
703
00:45:16,847 --> 00:45:17,836
You know what I really
used to enjoy?
704
00:45:18,849 --> 00:45:21,716
I used to get a kick out of calling
in coaching plays...
705
00:45:21,819 --> 00:45:24,720
to the Redskin coaching staff on
the white phone...
706
00:45:24,822 --> 00:45:26,687
and going over the bombing targets
in Cambodia with...
707
00:45:26,757 --> 00:45:28,092
Henry on the red phone...
708
00:45:28,092 --> 00:45:29,650
at the same time!
709
00:45:29,827 --> 00:45:32,193
That's fun!
710
00:45:32,262 --> 00:45:35,288
Oh, we were just rolling along
up there, you know.
711
00:45:35,432 --> 00:45:37,332
Everything was just going along so...
712
00:45:37,401 --> 00:45:38,663
But you know what happened? The
goddamn press and...
713
00:45:38,736 --> 00:45:41,102
the liberals, they had...
714
00:45:54,084 --> 00:45:56,552
Shit! Fuck!
715
00:46:26,884 --> 00:46:29,853
Roberto, when CBS calls...
716
00:46:29,987 --> 00:46:32,285
don't you tell them that I...
717
00:46:33,290 --> 00:46:35,190
Okay.
718
00:46:35,292 --> 00:46:37,453
You just remember what
I told you. Okay?
719
00:46:37,561 --> 00:46:39,930
The press and the liberals,
they're yellow!
720
00:46:39,930 --> 00:46:42,023
Oh, yes, they hated me...
721
00:46:42,132 --> 00:46:44,532
because they were scared too...
shitless!
722
00:46:44,668 --> 00:46:47,136
Because I was their mess boy!
723
00:46:47,237 --> 00:46:50,729
And you know something, Roberto?
You are mine.!
724
00:46:50,841 --> 00:46:53,002
And you watch out, seсor...
725
00:46:53,076 --> 00:46:55,010
because your turn is coming.
726
00:46:55,078 --> 00:46:58,946
All you new guys... you Cubans,
you immigrants...
727
00:46:59,049 --> 00:47:01,517
you'd better watch out for the
liberals. Oh, yeah.
728
00:47:01,585 --> 00:47:04,154
The colored found that out when
it was too late...
729
00:47:04,154 --> 00:47:05,519
that it was the North,
not the South...
730
00:47:05,656 --> 00:47:07,715
They'll come after you the way they
came after me, and that...
731
00:47:07,791 --> 00:47:10,123
is what made me: Their fear!
732
00:47:10,260 --> 00:47:14,924
And remember this, Roberto... I
knew who I was: Nobody.
733
00:47:15,065 --> 00:47:18,228
All they knew was that they
didn't want to be me.
734
00:47:18,368 --> 00:47:22,031
So you use 'em... the press and the
liberals. You let 'em use you.
735
00:47:22,105 --> 00:47:25,268
You get in bed with 'em. You
fuck 'em! Cuba libre!
736
00:48:08,418 --> 00:48:10,318
I still have...
737
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:12,285
the nightmare.
738
00:48:12,422 --> 00:48:15,084
But it is the American nightmare.
739
00:48:15,158 --> 00:48:19,618
Shit. That's Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam,
he's the American nightm...
740
00:48:19,763 --> 00:48:24,291
He's become nothing but a pitiful
giant, an old man being...
741
00:48:24,434 --> 00:48:27,028
eaten alive by an army of
'Ellsbergers' and, uh...
742
00:48:27,137 --> 00:48:31,074
Ralph Naders and Jane Fondas,
all led by Hiss.
743
00:48:31,074 --> 00:48:34,009
Alger Hiss!
744
00:48:34,144 --> 00:48:35,736
And all the Red rats of the
Roosevelt I mean...
745
00:48:35,846 --> 00:48:38,508
the Rosenberg spy gang and
the campus crowd...
746
00:48:38,582 --> 00:48:40,516
They're all Jews, you know,
every good...
747
00:48:40,651 --> 00:48:43,518
Look, Lansky and Ratner, they're
supposed to be big anticommu...
748
00:48:43,654 --> 00:48:46,521
I mean, even Chotiner- even Murray,
he's a goddamn kike!
749
00:48:46,590 --> 00:48:47,750
Well, the Committee of 100 would
not touch any...
750
00:48:47,824 --> 00:48:49,485
of them with a ten-foot pole.
751
00:48:49,626 --> 00:48:52,527
But when it comes time to hide the
bodies in the closet...
752
00:48:52,629 --> 00:48:55,063
oh, yeah, then they pick up the
phone and they call Chotiner.
753
00:48:55,165 --> 00:48:57,065
Then he contracts Miami
and the Jews.
754
00:48:57,167 --> 00:48:59,931
Well, I beat 'em, the Jews almost.
755
00:49:00,037 --> 00:49:01,937
See...
756
00:49:02,005 --> 00:49:04,337
It was the, um, Committee of 100...
757
00:49:04,441 --> 00:49:07,535
and the China plan people that I...
758
00:49:07,678 --> 00:49:09,578
I-I couldn't handle.
759
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,739
So that is the reason, Your
Honor, that we...
760
00:49:11,815 --> 00:49:15,046
had to invent Deep Throat...
761
00:49:15,152 --> 00:49:18,121
and use Watergate to...
762
00:49:18,221 --> 00:49:20,121
get out with a pardon...
763
00:49:20,223 --> 00:49:22,123
so that...
764
00:49:22,259 --> 00:49:24,193
Because of the...
765
00:49:28,365 --> 00:49:30,333
Oh, God.
766
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,108
Shit!
767
00:49:39,209 --> 00:49:42,042
Shit! Goddamn it!
768
00:49:42,112 --> 00:49:44,103
Where is my mother's Bible?
769
00:49:44,214 --> 00:49:45,841
Oh, yeah.
770
00:49:45,916 --> 00:49:48,544
By that Kissinger shit!
771
00:49:48,618 --> 00:49:50,609
'American Foreign Policy.
772
00:49:50,754 --> 00:49:52,619
Henry 'Asshole' Kissinger. '
773
00:49:54,725 --> 00:49:56,625
Kissinger, Kissinger, Kissinger!
774
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,762
Look, I don't owe any of them a
goddamn cent...
775
00:49:58,762 --> 00:50:00,320
much less an apology!
776
00:50:00,464 --> 00:50:02,830
Especially him.!
777
00:50:12,876 --> 00:50:15,310
You I owe...
778
00:50:15,412 --> 00:50:17,380
Mother.
779
00:50:19,116 --> 00:50:21,084
Only you.
780
00:50:38,935 --> 00:50:41,301
Oh. My, my, my, my, my, my.
781
00:50:41,405 --> 00:50:44,374
He's got the same... Just
like I've got...
782
00:50:45,809 --> 00:50:47,709
I like that. That's cute.
783
00:50:47,811 --> 00:50:49,779
I like that.
784
00:51:08,632 --> 00:51:10,566
Oh, no!
785
00:51:15,138 --> 00:51:17,106
'Dear Master...
786
00:51:18,241 --> 00:51:21,210
'The two boys that you
left with me...
787
00:51:21,344 --> 00:51:23,710
'are very bad to me.
788
00:51:23,780 --> 00:51:25,680
'Their dog Jim...
789
00:51:25,782 --> 00:51:27,682
'is very old...
790
00:51:27,751 --> 00:51:31,278
'and he will never talk or
play with me.

00:51:31,388 --> 00:51:35,051
'One Saturday the boys
went hunting.

00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,184
'While going through the woods,
one of the boys tripped...

00:51:38,295 --> 00:51:40,729
'and fell on me.

00:51:40,897 --> 00:51:43,195

'and I bit him.

'He kicked me in the side.

00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,636
'I started to run.

'I was very sore.

'Now I lay me...

down to sleep. '
806
00:52:27,410 --> 00:52:30,777
Arthur used to say that little
prayer for Mother.
807
00:52:30,914 --> 00:52:34,179
'Lf I could die before I... '
808
00:52:34,317 --> 00:52:37,445
What the hell are you looking at?
Fucking Kissinger!
809
00:52:37,554 --> 00:52:39,419
You Judas son of a bitch!
810
00:52:39,523 --> 00:52:42,424
You wrote that I was praying for
guidance after the Watergate...
811
00:52:42,526 --> 00:52:44,585
on the rug that the shah gave me.
812
00:52:44,694 --> 00:52:46,821
Wait until Deep Throat tells the
American people...
813
00:52:46,897 --> 00:52:49,229
the truth about Dr. Shit-ass!
814
00:52:49,366 --> 00:52:52,858
Yes! How Dr. Shit-ass took a
fortune from the shah...
815
00:52:53,003 --> 00:52:54,868
and how you and the other guy...
816
00:52:55,005 --> 00:52:57,940
fixed the shah up in New York with
a bunch of nice young boys.!
817
00:52:58,008 --> 00:52:59,771
That's right, Henry. Deep Throat is
going to strike again...
818
00:52:59,910 --> 00:53:01,673
and you are going to get yours.
819
00:53:01,778 --> 00:53:03,939
I made you, and I can break you...
820
00:53:04,014 --> 00:53:05,982
you slimy, two-faced...
821
00:53:06,082 --> 00:53:08,380
brown-nosed, ass-licking...
822
00:53:08,518 --> 00:53:10,679
kraut son of a bitch!
823
00:53:15,125 --> 00:53:17,889
Mother? I... Mother, please.
Have mercy on me.
824
00:53:18,028 --> 00:53:21,531
Shit! Stop it! Stop this crap, for
Christ's sake! Stop it!
825
00:53:21,531 --> 00:53:24,500
Think of something good. Like what?
What, what, what, what, what?
826
00:53:24,601 --> 00:53:26,501
Yes, um... Oh, yes! Um...
827
00:53:26,603 --> 00:53:27,837
Playing 'king of the pool' with
Bebe down at...
828
00:53:27,837 --> 00:53:29,998
Key Biscayne at 2:00 a. M...
829
00:53:30,140 --> 00:53:32,005
just splashing around...
830
00:53:32,142 --> 00:53:34,144
Shit! What else? What else,
what else?
831
00:53:34,144 --> 00:53:35,845
O yes. Having, uh, dinner at
Pompano Beach at...
832
00:53:35,845 --> 00:53:37,813
the Cork and Screw.
833
00:53:37,914 --> 00:53:40,314
Hobo steaks, ice creams and
Pistachio, that was...
834
00:53:40,417 --> 00:53:42,817
Aw, shit, shit, shit!
835
00:53:42,919 --> 00:53:45,012
They gave you the Nobel
Peace Prize...
836
00:53:45,155 --> 00:53:47,457
and me they called the Mad Bomber!
837
00:53:47,457 --> 00:53:49,823
Look, I had to do it.
838
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:54,124
I promised to get us out with
honor. I could not go soft.
839
00:53:54,264 --> 00:53:56,630
Did you know that I was in Russia...
840
00:53:56,766 --> 00:53:59,200
during the heaviest part of the
bombing in Cambodia?
841
00:53:59,269 --> 00:54:00,793
You know, the Russians, they
suffered too in the war.
842
00:54:00,870 --> 00:54:03,202
They lost 25 million...
843
00:54:03,273 --> 00:54:05,707
And I knelt beside the monuments
in Moscow...
844
00:54:05,775 --> 00:54:08,869
and I read the diaries of the
children the dead children.
845
00:54:08,945 --> 00:54:11,311
Me. Not him, me.!
846
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:14,849
And how they died.
847
00:54:14,951 --> 00:54:19,320
They gave that whoremaster
the Nobel Prize...
848
00:54:19,389 --> 00:54:21,448
and me they called freak...
849
00:54:21,558 --> 00:54:24,254
madman, juke, callicak...
850
00:54:24,394 --> 00:54:26,294
Look, they even said...
851
00:54:26,396 --> 00:54:27,795
that I stole the goddamn silverware
out of the White House...
852
00:54:27,864 --> 00:54:30,094
for Christ's sake!
853
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,067
The mad bomber theory was Henry's
idea in the first place...
854
00:54:33,203 --> 00:54:35,103
to scare the North Vietnamese!
855
00:54:35,205 --> 00:54:37,105
And that fat fuck...
856
00:54:37,173 --> 00:54:40,074
is walking around telling everybody
that I'm nuts?
857
00:54:40,210 --> 00:54:43,668
And all the time he thinks that
he is Napoleon?
858
00:54:43,747 --> 00:54:45,681
Or Metternich, for Chri...
859
00:54:45,749 --> 00:54:47,649
Son of a bitch! I...
860
00:54:47,751 --> 00:54:50,652
And then those kids tearing up
Washington after Cambodia?
861
00:54:50,754 --> 00:54:52,654
Fuck 'em!
862
00:54:52,756 --> 00:54:55,054
Those kids will not judge me.
863
00:54:55,158 --> 00:54:57,058
I couldn't sleep.
864
00:54:57,193 --> 00:54:58,751
I came down to the Lincoln
Monument to talk to...
865
00:54:58,862 --> 00:55:00,591
the kids. I was so ashamed.
866
00:55:00,697 --> 00:55:03,097
All I could think of to talk about
was about football...
867
00:55:03,166 --> 00:55:05,066
Fuck 'em!
868
00:55:05,201 --> 00:55:07,260
Those kids will not evaluate
my life!
869
00:55:07,337 --> 00:55:10,568
Because I am a Quaker,
goddamn it!
870
00:55:20,817 --> 00:55:22,785
I'm sorry, Mother.
871
00:55:25,689 --> 00:55:27,657
I'm sorry.
872
00:55:31,061 --> 00:55:33,154
My mother always used to say...
873
00:55:34,464 --> 00:55:37,126
that there is no path to peace.
874
00:55:38,168 --> 00:55:40,500
Peace is...
875
00:55:40,603 --> 00:55:42,867
the path.
876
00:55:43,006 --> 00:55:44,974
That's what my mother said.
877
00:56:02,258 --> 00:56:04,590
Roberto...
878
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,594
would you erase everything, please...
879
00:56:06,730 --> 00:56:09,324
back to...
880
00:56:09,466 --> 00:56:12,697
the Committee of 100, please?
881
00:56:12,769 --> 00:56:13,861
Thank you.
882
00:56:13,937 --> 00:56:14,767
Thank you.
883
00:56:16,306 --> 00:56:18,206
Your Honor...
884
00:56:18,274 --> 00:56:22,176
the Committee of 100, they
were winners.
885
00:56:22,278 --> 00:56:24,178
They were real winners.
886
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,181
Not me. Not yet. I was not... But,
look... I was not a quitter.
887
00:56:27,283 --> 00:56:29,183
See, the Hiss case was the key...
888
00:56:29,285 --> 00:56:30,775
because the Hiss case proved that I
could manage a crisis...
889
00:56:30,854 --> 00:56:32,321
that I could save the...
890
00:56:32,455 --> 00:56:34,457
Well, shit, I could save the
Committee if I-I could...
891
00:56:34,457 --> 00:56:35,583
save the goddamn country...
892
00:56:35,658 --> 00:56:38,593
Your Honor, I would like to talk
for a minute, if I may...
893
00:56:38,728 --> 00:56:40,593
about the Hiss case.
894
00:56:40,697 --> 00:56:43,598
If Alger Hiss could look down
his Ivy League snoot...
895
00:56:43,700 --> 00:56:46,134
at the House Un-American Activities
Committee and get away with it...
896
00:56:46,236 --> 00:56:48,636
then HUAC was through, the
Committee was through...
897
00:56:48,772 --> 00:56:50,672
I was sure as hell through!
898
00:56:50,774 --> 00:56:52,674
So what do I do?
899
00:56:52,742 --> 00:56:54,677
I have ten days to prove that
Alger Hiss is a high...
900
00:56:54,677 --> 00:56:55,666
Communist agent...
901
00:56:55,779 --> 00:56:57,679
in our State Department...
902
00:56:57,747 --> 00:56:59,772
or else everybody is going to
say that we've been...
903
00:56:59,849 --> 00:57:02,215
made into a laughingstock...
904
00:57:02,318 --> 00:57:04,718
by a clever psychopath named
Whittaker Chambers...
905
00:57:04,788 --> 00:57:06,688
who has set the Committee
up to... Shit.
906
00:57:06,790 --> 00:57:09,190
'Psychopath,' for Christ's sake.
907
00:57:09,259 --> 00:57:10,783
Whittaker wasn't a psychopath. He
was a goddamn genius.
908
00:57:10,860 --> 00:57:13,328
That's what he was.
909
00:57:13,463 --> 00:57:16,364
As a matter of fact, Whittaker was
the only one that I could even...
910
00:57:16,466 --> 00:57:18,457
I think of the two of us,
underneath the...
911
00:57:18,601 --> 00:57:20,501
Just...
912
00:57:20,603 --> 00:57:23,163
rocking...
913
00:57:23,239 --> 00:57:24,866
rocking.
914
00:57:26,676 --> 00:57:28,610
Yes? Whittaker?
915
00:57:30,713 --> 00:57:32,510
You have been what? A disciple
of the devil?
916
00:57:33,483 --> 00:57:36,384
And what are you now? Now you
are on God's side?
917
00:57:36,486 --> 00:57:39,387
No, no, no, no. I'm not
laughing at you.
918
00:57:39,522 --> 00:57:41,581
Whittaker, I know that
you're serious.
919
00:57:41,658 --> 00:57:43,888
Because I told you about
my mother...
920
00:57:44,027 --> 00:57:46,018
and the Quakers and everything.
921
00:57:46,162 --> 00:57:48,255
Look, Whittaker, I'm going to
come over to see you...
922
00:57:48,431 --> 00:57:51,832
Because misery loves company,
that's why.
923
00:57:51,935 --> 00:57:54,699
Whittaker, look, we all get
low sometimes.
924
00:57:54,804 --> 00:57:57,671
And then we need cheering up.
We need to talk to somebody.
925
00:57:57,807 --> 00:58:00,105
You know, man to...
926
00:58:00,210 --> 00:58:04,169
Straight from the... I... Yeah.
927
00:58:04,881 --> 00:58:08,078
Yes.
928
00:58:08,218 --> 00:58:10,550
I feel that way about you... too.
929
00:58:11,521 --> 00:58:13,546
No, no, look, Whittaker, we are
going to use your plan...
930
00:58:14,524 --> 00:58:17,459
because there is no way
that we can prove...
931
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:18,788
that you and Alger Hiss were in
the Communist...
932
00:58:18,862 --> 00:58:20,489
Party at the same time.
933
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,866
But we can prove this: I know I can
prove that you and...
934
00:58:22,866 --> 00:58:24,458
Hiss knew each other.
935
00:58:24,534 --> 00:58:26,559
In fact, that you were very close.
That you...
936
00:58:27,570 --> 00:58:29,561
You were both creatures of the
Party? And what are you now?
937
00:58:30,507 --> 00:58:32,441
Both creatures of the government.
938
00:58:32,509 --> 00:58:34,409
Okay.
939
00:58:34,544 --> 00:58:37,547
Whittaker, look, I think you
should get some sleep.
940
00:58:37,547 --> 00:58:40,277
No, no, no, no, listen, listen.
This'll help.
941
00:58:40,350 --> 00:58:45,185
'Now I lay me down to sleep... '
942
00:58:53,329 --> 00:58:55,889
Yes.
943
00:58:56,032 --> 00:58:57,966
Pleasant dreams.
944
00:59:27,564 --> 00:59:29,498
Your Honor...
945
00:59:30,667 --> 00:59:33,135
the Hiss case brought my
client national fame.
946
00:59:33,269 --> 00:59:36,966
However, in politics victory
is never total.
947
00:59:37,073 --> 00:59:39,564
And as an aftermath to
the Hiss case...
948
00:59:39,642 --> 00:59:42,304
I mean, for years afterwards...
949
00:59:42,445 --> 00:59:44,811
my client was subjected to a
vicious and utterly...
950
00:59:44,881 --> 00:59:47,475
unprincipled smear campaign...
951
00:59:47,584 --> 00:59:51,486
in which he was accused of being
a liar and a cheat and a thief...
952
00:59:51,554 --> 00:59:53,454
and a pervert...
953
00:59:53,590 --> 00:59:56,491
But the Committee of 100 saw that
I had saved the day- I had.
954
00:59:56,626 --> 00:59:57,786
Alger Hiss? He was in jail
for perjury.
955
00:59:57,860 --> 01:00:00,192
Whittaker Chambers? He was...
956
01:00:03,967 --> 01:00:05,867
Whittaker was dead.
957
01:00:06,970 --> 01:00:08,938
But I was on top.
958
01:00:10,239 --> 01:00:12,139
I was.
959
01:00:12,241 --> 01:00:13,071
I was on top.
960
01:00:13,176 --> 01:00:14,143
I was on top.
961
01:00:16,245 --> 01:00:18,907
The strain... It was because
of the strain...
962
01:00:19,015 --> 01:00:21,449
that I had to get away.
963
01:00:21,517 --> 01:00:25,419
So I went down to Bebe's boat
in Key Biscayne...
964
01:00:25,555 --> 01:00:28,456
and we talked about it down there,
Bebe and I...
965
01:00:28,524 --> 01:00:30,660
and that is where we decided that
I should go after...
966
01:00:30,660 --> 01:00:32,059
Helen Gahagan Douglas...
967
01:00:32,228 --> 01:00:34,628
in the 1950 senate campaign
in California.
968
01:00:34,697 --> 01:00:37,598
I... Helen Douglas, she...
Remarkable woman.
969
01:00:37,700 --> 01:00:39,600
Strong woman.
970
01:00:39,702 --> 01:00:41,602
Uh, noble-looking.
971
01:00:41,704 --> 01:00:42,796
She was, uh... There was a
There was a...
972
01:00:42,872 --> 01:00:44,601
There was a quality of...
973
01:00:44,707 --> 01:00:47,676
There was kind of an aura...
Sh-She had a...
974
01:00:50,513 --> 01:00:52,481
She was beautiful...
975
01:00:53,916 --> 01:00:55,941
is what she was.
976
01:00:56,019 --> 01:00:57,987
She was very beautiful.
977
01:01:01,090 --> 01:01:03,490
She was the kind of woman that I...
978
01:01:03,660 --> 01:01:05,560
Well, I thought that she...
979
01:01:05,628 --> 01:01:08,563
Well, you see, I always felt
that Helen... that she...
980
01:01:12,435 --> 01:01:14,403
I liked her.
981
01:01:15,938 --> 01:01:17,906
I liked Helen.
982
01:01:20,343 --> 01:01:22,311
Shit.
983
01:01:24,447 --> 01:01:28,008
See, I could have beaten Helen
Gahagan Douglas...
984
01:01:28,117 --> 01:01:29,106
without any dirty tricks.
985
01:01:30,086 --> 01:01:31,986
But, see, Chotiner and
the Committee...
986
01:01:32,121 --> 01:01:35,022
they already had the money coming
in from Florida and everywhere.
987
01:01:35,124 --> 01:01:38,025
It's those same jackasses from USC...
988
01:01:38,127 --> 01:01:41,654
the USC rat-fuckers or whatever the
hell they called themselves.
989
01:01:41,831 --> 01:01:45,130
Then they paid those students to
throw the rotten eggs at her...
990
01:01:45,201 --> 01:01:47,829
and to plant the rumors that
she was a Red...
991
01:01:47,937 --> 01:01:49,837
to say that she wore pink panties...
992
01:01:49,939 --> 01:01:51,770
Oh, yes, and that her husband's
real name was...
993
01:01:51,874 --> 01:01:54,138
Hesselstein or Braun or...
994
01:01:54,243 --> 01:01:57,644
Look, I was only 37 years old,
for Christ's sake!
995
01:01:57,747 --> 01:02:00,147
I had nothing against Helen
Gahagan Douglas.
996
01:02:00,216 --> 01:02:02,241
As a matter of fact, I thought that
she was... To me she was...
997
01:02:02,351 --> 01:02:03,978
But look...
998
01:02:04,053 --> 01:02:05,987
Helen was the leader in the drive...
999
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:07,784
to take the offshore oil rights
away from the...
1000
01:02:07,890 --> 01:02:09,118
big companies, period.
1001
01:02:09,192 --> 01:02:10,784
Chotiner and the Committee
wanted her dead.
1002
01:02:10,860 --> 01:02:13,590
I was to be the hatchet man, period.
1003
01:02:13,730 --> 01:02:17,291
Okay, Your Honor, so, my idea
then, in that campaign...
1004
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,130
was to run as, uh, above party.
1005
01:02:20,236 --> 01:02:23,364
You know, as a kind of
a Republicrat.
1006
01:02:23,473 --> 01:02:25,407
Oh! Yes, yes, yes.
1007
01:02:25,475 --> 01:02:27,375
A Republicrat and...
1008
01:02:27,477 --> 01:02:29,445
Yes!
1009
01:02:32,215 --> 01:02:35,618
The Reds, the Reds, the
Reds, the Reds
1010
01:02:35,618 --> 01:02:38,712
Atheistic, godless,
spying Reds.
1011
01:02:38,821 --> 01:02:42,848
Hiding under Democratic beds.
1012
01:02:44,393 --> 01:02:46,987
The...
1013
01:02:47,163 --> 01:02:49,631
Reds The Reds, the Reds,
the Reds.
1014
01:02:49,766 --> 01:02:50,790
The Reds, the Reds, the Reds,
the Reds The Reds...
1015
01:02:50,867 --> 01:02:52,596
the Reds, the Reds, the Reds.
1016
01:02:52,702 --> 01:02:55,638
That's what the country believed
then, and I believed it too.
1017
01:02:55,638 --> 01:02:58,129
As a matter of fact, my
platform was...
1018
01:02:58,207 --> 01:03:00,767
'I believe in America, and I
believe in real estate and...
1019
01:03:00,877 --> 01:03:04,210
the Reds, the Reds, the
Reds, the Reds... '
1020
01:03:04,313 --> 01:03:05,780
The Reds, the Reds, the Reds,
the Reds The Reds...
1021
01:03:05,882 --> 01:03:07,213
the Reds, the Reds, the Reds
1022
01:03:23,166 --> 01:03:26,602
I got soft, is what I did.
1023
01:03:26,736 --> 01:03:28,704
I let Alger Hiss's wife get away
from me because she...
1024
01:03:28,704 --> 01:03:30,137
was a Quaker and everyth...
1025
01:03:30,239 --> 01:03:32,139
I learned my lesson, though.
Oh, yeah.
1026
01:03:32,208 --> 01:03:35,336
You gotta be hard-on. I mean, these
women are the worst type -
1027
01:03:35,444 --> 01:03:37,378
Dump Nixon. Never...
1028
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:38,811
That's when the goddamn L.A. Times
started calling me...
1029
01:03:38,881 --> 01:03:40,712
'Tricky Dick. '
1030
01:03:40,817 --> 01:03:43,718
And then the cartoons with the
stubble and the jowls.
1031
01:03:43,786 --> 01:03:45,651
Look, I had feelings too.
1032
01:03:45,788 --> 01:03:47,590
My wife, my children, my family,
they had to...
1033
01:03:47,590 --> 01:03:49,217
stomach all that crap!
1034
01:03:49,292 --> 01:03:52,420
I mean, can you imagine? Making me
look like a goddamn tramp!
1035
01:03:52,862 --> 01:03:56,127
All right, yes! That's what
I am! I'm a tramp!
1036
01:03:56,265 --> 01:03:59,325
There I am down in the sewer
waiting for my turn...
1037
01:03:59,402 --> 01:04:01,370
just like every-fucking-body else!
1038
01:04:01,504 --> 01:04:04,530
A slimy slug crawling toward
the White House...
1039
01:04:04,674 --> 01:04:06,539
down there in the swamp...
1040
01:04:06,609 --> 01:04:07,769
where the goddamn Founding Fathers
put the White House...
1041
01:04:07,877 --> 01:04:10,175
in the first fucking place.
1042
01:04:10,313 --> 01:04:12,178
The goddamn L.A. Times
and the Post.
1043
01:04:12,281 --> 01:04:15,444
We will get those bastards because
they deserve it!
1044
01:04:15,518 --> 01:04:18,078
I mean, lording it over the whole
country like that.
1045
01:04:18,221 --> 01:04:20,587
Look, I was not dumped.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
1046
01:04:20,723 --> 01:04:24,284
I walked away, but I didn't quit.
That's right.
1047
01:04:24,427 --> 01:04:26,895
Because I have got the patience.
1048
01:04:27,029 --> 01:04:30,487
They did not call me Iron Butt
in law school for nothing.
1049
01:04:30,700 --> 01:04:32,793
Oh, yeah, laugh, laugh,
laugh, laugh, laugh.
1050
01:04:32,902 --> 01:04:34,767
Sure. Sure, I drove Pat to her
dates with other men...
1051
01:04:34,837 --> 01:04:36,771
before we were married.
1052
01:04:36,906 --> 01:04:40,307
And what of it? Nobody
dumps Nixon!
1053
01:04:40,409 --> 01:04:43,276
And the Times and the Post and the
rest of the goddamn country...
1054
01:04:43,412 --> 01:04:45,972
they tried to shaft Nixon and the
rest of the forgotten Amer...
1055
01:04:46,115 --> 01:04:49,607
Even Ike. Ike! Ike tried to get
rid of me in '56.
1056
01:04:49,752 --> 01:04:53,711
And I said to him, I said, 'Shit or
get off of the godda... '
1057
01:04:53,823 --> 01:04:55,791
Because you listen to this...
Finally, Nixon...
1058
01:04:55,858 --> 01:04:57,917
only Nixon could dump Nixon.
1059
01:04:58,060 --> 01:05:00,324
Yeah!
1060
01:05:00,463 --> 01:05:02,488
Fucking tapes! Shit!
1061
01:05:02,632 --> 01:05:04,793
The tapes were an invasion of
the public's privacy.
1062
01:05:04,867 --> 01:05:07,062
Not mine! The goddamn public's.
1063
01:05:07,203 --> 01:05:09,603
'Expletive deleted. '
1064
01:05:09,705 --> 01:05:11,570
For Christ's sake!
1065
01:05:11,674 --> 01:05:13,767
The whole goddamn public mind
is one great big...
1066
01:05:13,876 --> 01:05:14,900
fat 'expletive deleted'...
1067
01:05:15,912 --> 01:05:18,107
as far as the Eastern establishment
is concerned.
1068
01:05:18,180 --> 01:05:20,444
And, you see, that's why
they hated me...
1069
01:05:20,549 --> 01:05:21,784
because they hate the ordinary
American...
1070
01:05:21,784 --> 01:05:23,445
who lives down there in...
1071
01:05:23,552 --> 01:05:26,453
the armpit of this country between
New York and L.A.
1072
01:05:26,555 --> 01:05:28,921
And the tapes are just one more
goddamn set of lies!
1073
01:05:28,991 --> 01:05:30,959
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
1074
01:05:38,401 --> 01:05:40,232
Me, a liar?
1075
01:05:40,303 --> 01:05:43,204
That's rich, coming from you.
Oh, yeah.
1076
01:05:43,306 --> 01:05:45,297
Very easy for you...
1077
01:05:45,441 --> 01:05:47,341
to take the high road.
1078
01:05:47,443 --> 01:05:49,308
But, you see, I couldn't do that.
1079
01:05:49,412 --> 01:05:51,778
You delegated. I had to do all
the dirty work...
1080
01:05:51,847 --> 01:05:54,111
right from the beginning.
1081
01:05:54,216 --> 01:05:56,776
You sat up there and you said,
'Can't somebody do...
1082
01:05:56,852 --> 01:05:58,877
something about that Castro fella? '
1083
01:05:59,021 --> 01:06:01,216
Look, I heard you say that.
1084
01:06:01,324 --> 01:06:03,792
But you understand that it was me
that had to go out...
1085
01:06:03,859 --> 01:06:06,555
there and pull the goddamn trigger!
1086
01:06:06,696 --> 01:06:08,561
I mean...
1087
01:06:08,698 --> 01:06:10,893
you are a hypocrite!
1088
01:06:18,941 --> 01:06:21,501
Then I answered that goddamn ad...
1089
01:06:21,610 --> 01:06:24,408
in that goddamn paper for
congressman.
1090
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:25,811
See, from that point on I couldn't
even... I was not...
1091
01:06:25,881 --> 01:06:27,473
even able... I couldn't...
1092
01:06:27,550 --> 01:06:29,518
Fuck. I couldn't do anything.
1093
01:07:07,323 --> 01:07:09,223
Well, Your Honor...
1094
01:07:09,358 --> 01:07:11,326
they called the tune...
1095
01:07:11,427 --> 01:07:13,395
the Committee of 100.
1096
01:07:13,529 --> 01:07:15,765
They took me back up there,
you know.
1097
01:07:15,765 --> 01:07:17,289
Oh, yeah. Back up to the Grove.
1098
01:07:17,433 --> 01:07:19,731
No drinks this time.
1099
01:07:19,835 --> 01:07:23,566
No, no, no, no, no, no. This was
strictly business.
1100
01:07:27,877 --> 01:07:31,040
'The American future lies
to the East.
1101
01:07:31,914 --> 01:07:34,678
'The great free markets of
the Pacific Rim...
1102
01:07:34,784 --> 01:07:36,752
'are the American destiny.
1103
01:07:36,819 --> 01:07:38,810
'Dick, you are going to be
president of...
1104
01:07:38,921 --> 01:07:40,889
the United States.
1105
01:07:41,023 --> 01:07:43,321
'It is only a matter of time.
1106
01:07:43,426 --> 01:07:45,485
'President of the Pacific Rim.
1107
01:07:45,628 --> 01:07:48,688
And Taiwan will be yours. '
1108
01:07:48,831 --> 01:07:52,935
L-I will never forget Arnold
Smith's voice.
1109
01:07:52,935 --> 01:07:54,835
'Taiwan will be your
trigger finger.
1110
01:07:54,904 --> 01:07:57,737
Your trigger finger! '
1111
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,933
And then somebody... I forget...
Oh, yes, Chotiner.
1112
01:08:00,076 --> 01:08:01,839
He said something in Yiddish,
and all those jerks...
1113
01:08:01,911 --> 01:08:03,572
from Miami laughed.
1114
01:08:03,646 --> 01:08:06,274
Oh, then Haldeman's father
the old man...
1115
01:08:06,415 --> 01:08:08,315
he whispered in my ear...
1116
01:08:08,451 --> 01:08:12,012
'Taiwan is the China plan...
1117
01:08:12,088 --> 01:08:14,784
'the shaft, the arrow...
1118
01:08:14,890 --> 01:08:19,122
that will plunge into the
body of the East. '
1119
01:08:22,965 --> 01:08:26,025
Well, I was drawing a long
bow that night.
1120
01:08:26,135 --> 01:08:28,035
I found that out later.
1121
01:08:28,137 --> 01:08:30,401
But that night I just...
1122
01:08:30,473 --> 01:08:32,441
wandered...
1123
01:08:32,508 --> 01:08:34,408
in that redwood forest...
1124
01:08:34,510 --> 01:08:36,410
all by myself.
1125
01:08:36,512 --> 01:08:38,412
You understand what
they told me?
1126
01:08:38,547 --> 01:08:41,983
They told me that the China plan
would be my Excalibur.
1127
01:08:42,051 --> 01:08:43,853
A plan for peace is what they told
me, a plan for good...
1128
01:08:43,853 --> 01:08:45,514
for greatness.
1129
01:08:45,654 --> 01:08:47,622
My Camelot!
1130
01:08:48,757 --> 01:08:51,360
I could hear those guys out
there in the woods...
1131
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,191
laughing and singing.
1132
01:08:53,329 --> 01:08:55,820
Yes, I knew they were using me.
Of course I knew that.
1133
01:08:55,965 --> 01:08:58,433
Do you understand what I'm saying?
1134
01:08:58,534 --> 01:09:01,230
My life ended that night.
1135
01:09:03,172 --> 01:09:05,299
God forgive me.
1136
01:09:05,374 --> 01:09:07,342
I mean...
1137
01:09:10,546 --> 01:09:13,382
I mean...
1138
01:09:13,382 --> 01:09:16,545
there were so many dirty tricks!
1139
01:09:16,652 --> 01:09:18,552
I had no one to talk to.
1140
01:09:18,687 --> 01:09:21,554
I was getting pressure from above,
pressure from below.
1141
01:09:23,692 --> 01:09:25,819
Where's Deep Throat when
I need him?
1142
01:09:25,895 --> 01:09:28,455
I need to leak how they
made me do it!
1143
01:09:28,597 --> 01:09:30,462
Look, I am not a fool.
1144
01:09:30,599 --> 01:09:32,533
I knew that this was the crossroads.
1145
01:09:32,601 --> 01:09:35,468
I knew it was either go all the way
with the China plan people...
1146
01:09:35,604 --> 01:09:37,469
or suffer the consequences.
1147
01:09:37,606 --> 01:09:39,975
That's right. I did know that I was
signing a pact with...
1148
01:09:39,975 --> 01:09:41,465
the devil out in that wilderness.
1149
01:09:41,610 --> 01:09:43,635
Yes, I knew that!
1150
01:09:46,515 --> 01:09:48,483
Shit!
1151
01:09:48,584 --> 01:09:51,985
See, I can feel Mother's eyes right
now beaming down on me.
1152
01:09:52,087 --> 01:09:53,748
Stop it, Mother!
1153
01:09:53,822 --> 01:09:58,156
Searchlights of truth burning into
each crisis in my miserable life.!
1154
01:09:58,327 --> 01:10:00,887
Mother, do you remember when
Harold lay dying in Arizona...
1155
01:10:01,864 --> 01:10:02,888
and we fought together, you and I?
1156
01:10:03,866 --> 01:10:05,800
Remember, you were by his
bedside and I was...
1157
01:10:05,868 --> 01:10:07,768
out barking-Arf!
1158
01:10:07,870 --> 01:10:10,771
I was trying to bring in a little
money to help out.
1159
01:10:10,873 --> 01:10:12,807
Remember I used to say, 'Step
right in! Step right in!
1160
01:10:12,875 --> 01:10:15,139
Win your fortune on the ins... '
1161
01:10:15,244 --> 01:10:17,144
And then I'd come home, Mother...
1162
01:10:17,246 --> 01:10:20,147
and you would tell me what
a good boy I was...
1163
01:10:20,249 --> 01:10:21,773
and I would tell you how I wanted
to grow up to be...
1164
01:10:21,850 --> 01:10:23,909
Abraham Lincoln.
1165
01:10:24,753 --> 01:10:26,914
Mother?
1166
01:10:27,022 --> 01:10:29,081
Mother?
1167
01:10:29,158 --> 01:10:31,319
Step right in. Step right in.
1168
01:10:31,460 --> 01:10:34,361
Meet real men and riches...
1169
01:10:34,463 --> 01:10:36,363
and heart's desire...
1170
01:10:36,465 --> 01:10:38,399
on the inside!
1171
01:10:41,136 --> 01:10:43,764
Mother, have mercy on your
little dog. Please.
1172
01:10:44,974 --> 01:10:46,908
Do you remember...
1173
01:10:46,976 --> 01:10:48,944
your little dog?
1174
01:10:52,147 --> 01:10:54,115
Arf?
1175
01:10:55,284 --> 01:10:57,252
Arf?
1176
01:10:58,654 --> 01:11:00,884
Arf.
1177
01:11:00,956 --> 01:11:02,924
Arf, arf, arf.
1178
01:11:12,001 --> 01:11:13,901
I wish you...
1179
01:11:14,003 --> 01:11:16,267
would come home right now...
1180
01:11:16,372 --> 01:11:18,340
Mama.
1181
01:12:19,568 --> 01:12:21,536
Your Honor, I...
1182
01:12:23,339 --> 01:12:25,307
Shit!
1183
01:12:29,945 --> 01:12:31,913
All right, goddamn it!
1184
01:12:32,981 --> 01:12:34,881
You wanted to hear it.
1185
01:12:34,983 --> 01:12:36,951
This is it.
1186
01:12:48,497 --> 01:12:50,397
Your Honor...
1187
01:12:50,499 --> 01:12:52,797
I did not have a choice.
1188
01:12:52,901 --> 01:12:54,801
I mean...
1189
01:12:54,903 --> 01:12:56,803
I had to get out.
1190
01:12:56,905 --> 01:13:01,774
I had to resign right after the
election, get the pardon...
1191
01:13:01,910 --> 01:13:04,879
or follow the Committee of 100's
orders to prepare...
1192
01:13:04,947 --> 01:13:06,915
for a public mandate.
1193
01:13:07,015 --> 01:13:08,880
Now, that is a constitutional
amendment.
1194
01:13:08,951 --> 01:13:10,077
T-That's right, Your Honor.
1195
01:13:10,185 --> 01:13:12,085
A third term for my client.
1196
01:13:12,187 --> 01:13:13,848
And whatever happened to me after
that, that would've...
1197
01:13:13,922 --> 01:13:15,082
been my problem.
1198
01:13:15,190 --> 01:13:16,851
It would've all come out in the end
anyway because...
1199
01:13:16,925 --> 01:13:19,086
the Patman Committee...
1200
01:13:19,228 --> 01:13:21,594
Congressman Wright Patman and
his...
1201
01:13:21,730 --> 01:13:22,856
The American people must
understand why I could...
1202
01:13:22,931 --> 01:13:25,593
not level with my lawyers...
1203
01:13:25,701 --> 01:13:27,601
and burn the...
1204
01:13:27,703 --> 01:13:29,694
They were stabbing me in the back
anyway. Fuck 'em!
1205
01:13:29,805 --> 01:13:31,705
Patman and his committee...
1206
01:13:31,807 --> 01:13:32,831
they were following all this cash
that was coming into the...
1207
01:13:32,941 --> 01:13:35,535
Committee to Re-elect the President.
1208
01:13:35,644 --> 01:13:39,045
Now, CREEP... the committee...
had money in, uh...
1209
01:13:39,148 --> 01:13:42,049
Well, shit, Taiwan, of course,
and-and Hong Kong...
1210
01:13:42,117 --> 01:13:45,018
and, uh... and Singapore and
Rangoon, I-I...
1211
01:13:45,154 --> 01:13:46,917
Millions! Millions of dollars.
1212
01:13:47,022 --> 01:13:48,853
All right, Patman, he's a Texas
radical, you know...
1213
01:13:48,924 --> 01:13:50,789
and he is very bright.
1214
01:13:50,959 --> 01:13:53,325
He is onto something here
and he knows it.
1215
01:13:53,429 --> 01:13:55,693
I mean, Your Honor, that money...
1216
01:13:55,798 --> 01:13:58,289
was flooding into the Committee to
Re-elect the President...
1217
01:13:58,434 --> 01:14:00,669
after the president had already
been re-elected...
1218
01:14:00,669 --> 01:14:02,034
for Christ's sake!
1219
01:14:02,137 --> 01:14:07,040
I mean, after the biggest landslide
in American history in 1972.
1220
01:14:07,142 --> 01:14:09,778
And Patman, he's saying, 'Why is
all this money still...
1221
01:14:09,778 --> 01:14:11,336
coming in to the committee? '
1222
01:14:11,480 --> 01:14:13,778
And especially he wants to know,
Your Honor...
1223
01:14:13,882 --> 01:14:16,783
why all that money is coming in
from-from Asia.
1224
01:14:16,852 --> 01:14:19,753
That money was to be used,
Your Honor...
1225
01:14:19,888 --> 01:14:21,753
to re-elect Nixon in '76.
1226
01:14:21,857 --> 01:14:23,848
You know, 'Stick with Dick in
'76' and all that...
1227
01:14:23,926 --> 01:14:26,292
shit, for Christ's...
1228
01:14:26,428 --> 01:14:27,861
All right, the Saigon government
is sending back...
1229
01:14:27,930 --> 01:14:30,797
millions of dollars.
1230
01:14:30,899 --> 01:14:34,164
L-In the meantime, ol' Henry, he's
out there talking about...
1231
01:14:34,269 --> 01:14:37,170
I... 'Peace is at hand,' some shit.
1232
01:14:37,272 --> 01:14:38,864
Even I don't know what the hell
he's talking about...
1233
01:14:38,941 --> 01:14:40,409
for Christ's sake.
1234
01:14:40,409 --> 01:14:41,842
Okay, the Saigon government
is kicking back...
1235
01:14:41,910 --> 01:14:45,073
millions of dollars in U.S. Aid.
1236
01:14:45,180 --> 01:14:46,841
Now, understand this-this is
money that we had...
1237
01:14:46,915 --> 01:14:49,315
originally sent to them.
1238
01:14:49,418 --> 01:14:52,387
They're sending it back to me
and to CREEP.
1239
01:14:52,521 --> 01:14:54,887
Now, the Committee of 100
said to me...
1240
01:14:54,990 --> 01:14:56,855
that they didn't give a shit if I
went to China and got...
1241
01:14:56,925 --> 01:14:58,916
in bed with Chairman Mao.
1242
01:14:59,027 --> 01:15:01,723
They didn't give a shit about
Communism.
1243
01:15:01,864 --> 01:15:03,866
What they told me was this...
1244
01:15:03,866 --> 01:15:06,235
They had to have me in the White
House for eight...
1245
01:15:06,235 --> 01:15:07,532
more years because it involved...
1246
01:15:07,636 --> 01:15:10,873
What else? Money and power.
1247
01:15:10,873 --> 01:15:13,273
I mean, millions for the Bohemian
Grove guys...
1248
01:15:13,342 --> 01:15:15,242
and billions for the Mob...
1249
01:15:15,310 --> 01:15:17,278
because of the...
1250
01:15:20,983 --> 01:15:22,951
because of the...
1251
01:15:24,386 --> 01:15:26,911
heroin.
1252
01:15:32,060 --> 01:15:34,893
Your Honor...
1253
01:15:35,030 --> 01:15:38,966
ladies and gentlemen of the
American jury...
1254
01:15:39,067 --> 01:15:41,433
your hour has come.
1255
01:15:41,537 --> 01:15:43,505
Consider the crisis.
1256
01:15:44,973 --> 01:15:46,804
It is the morning after the smashing...
1257
01:15:46,909 --> 01:15:48,477
victory mandate.
1258
01:15:48,477 --> 01:15:50,809
November 8, 1972.
1259
01:15:50,879 --> 01:15:54,815
My client, Richard Nixon, has
just received the word...
1260
01:15:54,950 --> 01:15:56,815
from the Committee of 100...
1261
01:15:56,952 --> 01:15:58,920
and that word was...
1262
01:16:00,355 --> 01:16:03,324
'Here is the plan, Richard. '
1263
01:16:05,260 --> 01:16:07,160
All right, ladies and gentlemen
of the jury...
1264
01:16:07,296 --> 01:16:09,230
point one of that plan...
1265
01:16:10,699 --> 01:16:13,600
Continue the war in Vietnam...
1266
01:16:13,702 --> 01:16:15,670
until 1976...
1267
01:16:19,975 --> 01:16:21,943
whatever the cost.
1268
01:16:23,245 --> 01:16:25,509
Uh, point two...
1269
01:16:25,614 --> 01:16:28,276
Accept a draft in '76...
1270
01:16:28,350 --> 01:16:30,318
for a third term.
1271
01:16:31,820 --> 01:16:33,788
Or take it.
1272
01:16:36,058 --> 01:16:38,185
Point three...
1273
01:16:38,293 --> 01:16:41,729
Seal the deal with China against
the Soviets...
1274
01:16:41,797 --> 01:16:43,697
and then...
1275
01:16:43,832 --> 01:16:46,733
carve up the markets of the rest
of the goddamn world.
1276
01:16:46,802 --> 01:16:49,930
That's it. That's the plan,
Your Honor. Period.
1277
01:16:50,038 --> 01:16:52,370
Sure, that is the word...
1278
01:16:52,474 --> 01:16:55,136
that my client received from
his masters.
1279
01:16:55,243 --> 01:16:57,143
And you know who they are, too.
1280
01:16:57,245 --> 01:17:00,772
All right, Your Honor, what
did my client do?
1281
01:17:00,849 --> 01:17:04,478
Well, I'll tell you this... He took
the hardest possible way.
1282
01:17:04,620 --> 01:17:07,350
He chose to orchestrate the tapes...
1283
01:17:07,456 --> 01:17:09,754
like a great drama.
1284
01:17:09,858 --> 01:17:12,622
He chose secret honor!
1285
01:17:19,668 --> 01:17:21,727
Yeah, sure.
1286
01:17:21,870 --> 01:17:23,838
Secret honor.
1287
01:17:26,108 --> 01:17:28,076
And public shame.
1288
01:17:33,448 --> 01:17:35,416
You know...
1289
01:17:37,386 --> 01:17:39,411
I really did...
1290
01:17:39,521 --> 01:17:41,921
want to grow up...
1291
01:17:42,024 --> 01:17:43,924
to be Abraham Lincoln.
1292
01:17:44,026 --> 01:17:45,960
No, no, I did.
1293
01:17:47,229 --> 01:17:49,163
But you know what I found out?
1294
01:17:50,499 --> 01:17:51,830
I found out that the world is
nothing more...
1295
01:17:51,900 --> 01:17:53,765
than a bunch of...
1296
01:17:53,869 --> 01:17:55,769
second-generation mobsters...
1297
01:17:55,904 --> 01:17:57,804
and their lawyers...
1298
01:17:57,873 --> 01:17:59,773
and the P.R. Guys...
1299
01:17:59,875 --> 01:18:02,776
and the new-money crooks who
made theirs in the war...
1300
01:18:02,878 --> 01:18:06,041
and the old-money crooks who made
theirs selling slaves...
1301
01:18:06,148 --> 01:18:09,174
and phony merchandise to both
sides during the Civil...
1302
01:18:09,284 --> 01:18:12,344
Look, I didn't want this. I sure as
hell didn't look for it.
1303
01:18:12,487 --> 01:18:14,352
But that is what I found!
1304
01:18:14,456 --> 01:18:16,856
And I'll tell you something else...
That is what public...
1305
01:18:16,925 --> 01:18:18,222
life is all about!
1306
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,658
And I am not the only one!
1307
01:18:20,796 --> 01:18:22,964
And if you can't stand the burnt,
then you get...
1308
01:18:22,964 --> 01:18:24,192
the hell out of the...
1309
01:18:24,266 --> 01:18:26,359
Y-You get... You get out the...
1310
01:18:26,501 --> 01:18:28,403
Shit! Fuck! Piss! You know what
the hell I'm trying to say...
1311
01:18:28,403 --> 01:18:29,461
for Christ's sake!
1312
01:18:39,815 --> 01:18:42,249
Well, so, I, um... I, um...
1313
01:18:42,350 --> 01:18:45,615
I had to have a way to
leak the tapes.
1314
01:18:45,721 --> 01:18:49,350
L-I-I-I needed a deep
background source.
1315
01:18:49,424 --> 01:18:52,325
I needed a Deep Throat, is what I...
1316
01:18:52,461 --> 01:18:54,827
Look, I had to find a way
to destroy that...
1317
01:18:54,930 --> 01:18:57,330
huge '72 popular vote mandate...
1318
01:18:57,466 --> 01:19:01,664
Look, I would have been unbeatable
in '76. You understand what I...
1319
01:19:01,770 --> 01:19:04,136
I did not want to run in '76!
1320
01:19:04,206 --> 01:19:06,401
L-I could not continue...
1321
01:19:06,541 --> 01:19:08,406
with this fraud.
1322
01:19:08,510 --> 01:19:11,877
I couldn't-I couldn't go on. I was...
1323
01:19:11,947 --> 01:19:14,245
Well, so, um...
1324
01:19:14,349 --> 01:19:16,317
Dean, he...
1325
01:19:18,887 --> 01:19:21,287
No. No, no. It was-It was-It
was not Dean.
1326
01:19:21,356 --> 01:19:23,256
It was-It was Haig.
1327
01:19:23,358 --> 01:19:27,727
He-He carried the ball for me
on the tapes...
1328
01:19:27,829 --> 01:19:30,229
and he cut Henry off at the
pass in Paris...
1329
01:19:30,332 --> 01:19:31,856
Then that Judas son of a bitch
turned out to be a...
1330
01:19:31,933 --> 01:19:34,458
Rockefeller traitor all the
goddamn time!
1331
01:19:34,569 --> 01:19:37,436
They knew that I had to go because
they wanted their man.
1332
01:19:37,572 --> 01:19:40,473
They wanted Ford in there for
six more years.
1333
01:19:40,575 --> 01:19:43,476
They would have got him too, except
that he had to pardon me...
1334
01:19:43,545 --> 01:19:46,207
and thereby destro y his chances
for re-election in '76.
1335
01:19:46,348 --> 01:19:49,249
Poor bastard.
1336
01:19:49,351 --> 01:19:52,377
I... John Dean, John Dean,
John Dean, John...
1337
01:19:52,454 --> 01:19:54,547
You know John Dean did
me a favor?
1338
01:19:54,689 --> 01:19:58,352
I would have had to invent
John Dean!
1339
01:19:58,493 --> 01:20:01,758
What the hell. He was young.
He had to watch his ass.
1340
01:20:01,863 --> 01:20:04,331
I have nothing against John Dean.
1341
01:20:04,466 --> 01:20:07,731
As a matter of fact, I like
John Dean.
1342
01:20:10,438 --> 01:20:12,338
No...
1343
01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:14,431
I have nothing against any of them...
1344
01:20:14,543 --> 01:20:17,808
because we were all small-fry
nothings...
1345
01:20:17,879 --> 01:20:20,848
compared to the big guys up there
at Bohemian Grove.
1346
01:20:23,084 --> 01:20:25,052
You know what I did?
1347
01:20:25,153 --> 01:20:28,645
I sold my soul at Bohemian Grove...
1348
01:20:28,757 --> 01:20:30,725
for shit.
1349
01:20:31,893 --> 01:20:34,453
I kissed Rockefeller's ass...
1350
01:20:34,563 --> 01:20:37,862
and he shit all over me.
1351
01:20:37,966 --> 01:20:40,025
Oh, yeah. That's what they do.
1352
01:20:40,168 --> 01:20:42,136
Those Eastern pricks!
1353
01:20:42,204 --> 01:20:44,773
They fly from New York
to Los Angeles...
1354
01:20:44,773 --> 01:20:47,936
shitting every step of the way
on all of us!
1355
01:20:48,076 --> 01:20:50,442
And they got a million guys down
there too. Oh, yeah.
1356
01:20:50,512 --> 01:20:52,946
They can send down to Central
Casting in Hollywood...
1357
01:20:53,081 --> 01:20:55,948
and get some dummy that looks
good on the tube...
1358
01:20:59,187 --> 01:21:01,951
Some Arrow-collared killer
type who...
1359
01:21:02,023 --> 01:21:03,957
All right. All right.
1360
01:21:04,092 --> 01:21:06,583
Wall Street is asking for Agnew?
1361
01:21:06,695 --> 01:21:08,697
You know what I did?
1362
01:21:08,697 --> 01:21:10,961
I gave 'em Agnew!
1363
01:21:13,034 --> 01:21:15,195
That fucking Agnew!
1364
01:21:15,303 --> 01:21:18,807
I mean, he was taking bribes with
both goddamn hands, for Chri...
1365
01:21:18,807 --> 01:21:21,173
You know what Agnew did? You
won't even believe this.
1366
01:21:21,309 --> 01:21:23,174
Agnew, one time... Fuckin' Ag...
1367
01:21:23,311 --> 01:21:26,712
One day Agnew, he took a
turkey and $200...
1368
01:21:26,815 --> 01:21:28,715
right in the office!
1369
01:21:30,819 --> 01:21:33,720
A live fucking turkey, for
Christ's sake!
1370
01:21:33,822 --> 01:21:36,290
Fucking Agnew!
1371
01:21:38,627 --> 01:21:40,993
You see, they wanted more from me.
1372
01:21:41,062 --> 01:21:43,997
They wanted everything from me
because I was the hole card.
1373
01:21:44,065 --> 01:21:46,295
See, I was the China card.
1374
01:21:46,434 --> 01:21:48,334
I was in the middle.
1375
01:21:48,403 --> 01:21:50,803
The Rockefeller guys were screwing
me from the rear...
1376
01:21:50,906 --> 01:21:53,500
and the China Committee big boys
had me by the nuts up front.
1377
01:21:53,575 --> 01:21:55,543
Look, I had to be very cautious...
1378
01:21:55,610 --> 01:21:58,909
because Hunt and Liddy and
Krogh and Caulfield...
1379
01:21:59,014 --> 01:22:00,845
You know, th-th-the Watergate...
They're all ex-C.I.A....
1380
01:22:00,916 --> 01:22:02,315
those guys, you know.
1381
01:22:02,417 --> 01:22:04,476
They're ex-this and they're ex-that.
1382
01:22:04,586 --> 01:22:07,487
And those bastards, they know where
the bodies are buried, see.
1383
01:22:07,555 --> 01:22:08,817
So I couldn't just go running in
there and do any...
1384
01:22:08,890 --> 01:22:11,256
goddamn thing I wa...
1385
01:22:11,426 --> 01:22:13,417
All right, that money...
1386
01:22:13,528 --> 01:22:16,053
is still pouring in from Asia!
1387
01:22:16,197 --> 01:22:20,156
And Patman, he-he's watching
all this money...
1388
01:22:20,302 --> 01:22:22,236
I mean, it's coming in there...
1389
01:22:22,304 --> 01:22:26,764
from Flying Tiger, you know,
and Air America...
1390
01:22:28,877 --> 01:22:31,209
dropping millions of goddamn
dollars!
1391
01:22:31,313 --> 01:22:34,805
And Patman, he-he... It was coming
in from the Bank of Seoul too.
1392
01:22:34,916 --> 01:22:37,817
And, of course, always from
the Bank of Taiwan.
1393
01:22:37,919 --> 01:22:41,821
But Patman, he was so fuckin'
funny. Fuckin'... He...
1394
01:22:41,890 --> 01:22:44,017
Goddamn Patman,
he-he said...
1395
01:22:44,125 --> 01:22:47,458
he said... he said... he said... he said...
he said... he said...
1396
01:22:47,595 --> 01:22:50,496
'Where the fuck is all this money
coming from? '
1397
01:22:53,568 --> 01:22:56,128
L-I just...
1398
01:22:56,237 --> 01:22:57,932
You understand...
1399
01:22:58,073 --> 01:22:59,874
what it means...
1400
01:22:59,874 --> 01:23:02,638
if they catch me?
1401
01:23:02,744 --> 01:23:04,541
It means the...
1402
01:23:06,214 --> 01:23:09,547
It means the firing squad.
1403
01:23:15,023 --> 01:23:17,150
That's right, Your Honor.
1404
01:23:17,258 --> 01:23:19,226
That's what it means.
1405
01:23:42,884 --> 01:23:43,918
Make no mistake...
1406
01:23:43,918 --> 01:23:45,886
about that.
1407
01:23:48,356 --> 01:23:50,324
If they catch me...!
1408
01:23:53,595 --> 01:23:56,792
I mean, do you think that there
would be a pardon...
1409
01:23:56,898 --> 01:24:00,766
for the man who kept the war going
in Southeast Asia...
1410
01:24:00,902 --> 01:24:03,538
in exchange for vast sums of money?
1411
01:24:03,538 --> 01:24:05,529
American tax money?
1412
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:07,909
A fortune in blood to be used
to purchase a...
1413
01:24:07,909 --> 01:24:09,069
third term for my client?
1414
01:24:09,144 --> 01:24:12,045
I mean, Your Honor, the country
would have boiled over...
1415
01:24:12,147 --> 01:24:13,842
because this blood bribery meant
the death of...
1416
01:24:13,915 --> 01:24:15,780
thousands of American boys.
1417
01:24:15,917 --> 01:24:17,782
I didn't want that! I didn't...
1418
01:24:17,919 --> 01:24:20,911
I mean, for Christ's sake, who the
hell wants to go down in history...
1419
01:24:21,022 --> 01:24:25,254
as a traitor who took bribes to
keep a fucking war going?
1420
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,294
You understand then...
1421
01:24:27,395 --> 01:24:29,863
why I had to lead the press and
the Congress to the...
1422
01:24:29,931 --> 01:24:32,593
tip of the wrong iceberg?
1423
01:24:32,700 --> 01:24:34,861
See, I had to leave a little trail
of crimes and misdemeanors...
1424
01:24:34,936 --> 01:24:37,302
for them to follow...
1425
01:24:37,372 --> 01:24:38,862
so that they wouldn't find out
about the treason...
1426
01:24:38,940 --> 01:24:40,771
and stick me in a cage...
1427
01:24:40,875 --> 01:24:42,843
like a fucking animal!
1428
01:24:46,247 --> 01:24:48,647
I mean, like a...
1429
01:24:48,750 --> 01:24:50,718
common criminal.
1430
01:24:57,425 --> 01:24:59,393
Your Honor...
1431
01:25:00,862 --> 01:25:02,727
the prisoner in the dock...
1432
01:25:02,831 --> 01:25:05,891
is guilty of one crime only...
1433
01:25:06,034 --> 01:25:08,298
and that crime is being...
1434
01:25:08,403 --> 01:25:11,372
Richard Milhous Nixon!
1435
01:25:13,975 --> 01:25:16,170
L-I just wanted power.
1436
01:25:16,244 --> 01:25:18,109
That's all.
1437
01:25:18,246 --> 01:25:22,050
I mean, to be president you have
got to have power!
1438
01:25:22,050 --> 01:25:25,611
Without power, you can't do...
You can't... Shit! I...
1439
01:25:26,654 --> 01:25:29,214
See, I know that you
understand this...
1440
01:25:29,324 --> 01:25:31,224
'cause you had power in
World War I...
1441
01:25:31,326 --> 01:25:32,861
See, when you've got it-it's
nothing. If you've...
1442
01:25:32,861 --> 01:25:35,022
got it, it's nothing.
1443
01:25:38,433 --> 01:25:40,799
They broke your heart too,
didn't they?
1444
01:25:40,869 --> 01:25:42,837
With the League of Nations.
1445
01:25:44,172 --> 01:25:46,037
You know what they wrote
about me?
1446
01:25:46,174 --> 01:25:48,039
They said at the end...
1447
01:25:48,176 --> 01:25:50,644
that I was running around
the White House...
1448
01:25:50,778 --> 01:25:54,612
crazy drunk, talking to the
pictures on the walls.
1449
01:25:57,385 --> 01:26:00,047
Yes, I was.
1450
01:26:00,155 --> 01:26:02,123
I was lonely.
1451
01:26:03,358 --> 01:26:06,816
I needed somebody to talk to
besides a machine.
1452
01:26:08,363 --> 01:26:10,263
Mother?
1453
01:26:13,001 --> 01:26:14,935
Mother?
1454
01:26:16,804 --> 01:26:19,068
Mother, I-I-I just...
1455
01:26:19,174 --> 01:26:22,871
I just wanted to be a-a man.
1456
01:26:22,977 --> 01:26:26,378
Not a nothing, not your dog...
1457
01:26:26,514 --> 01:26:28,744
but a real man!
1458
01:26:29,817 --> 01:26:31,785
Mother?
1459
01:26:34,022 --> 01:26:37,048
Mother!
1460
01:26:37,125 --> 01:26:40,583
Yes, Mother, I know what
I've done!
1461
01:26:40,728 --> 01:26:42,696
Mother. Mother.
1462
01:26:42,830 --> 01:26:45,060
Just...
1463
01:26:45,133 --> 01:26:47,101
tell me who I am.
1464
01:26:48,403 --> 01:26:50,371
Tell me what to do... Mama.
1465
01:27:19,434 --> 01:27:22,870
What? No, Mother!
1466
01:27:22,870 --> 01:27:25,206
I did not elect myself.
1467
01:27:25,206 --> 01:27:27,575
They elected me! Not once, not
twice, but all...
1468
01:27:27,575 --> 01:27:28,876
my goddamn life!
1469
01:27:28,876 --> 01:27:31,813
And they would do it again, too,
if they had the chance.
1470
01:27:31,813 --> 01:27:34,482
Oh, sure, they said they
didn't trust me.
1471
01:27:34,482 --> 01:27:38,052
They said, "Let Dick Nixon do
it," and I did it!
1472
01:27:38,052 --> 01:27:40,989
They said they wouldn't buy a
used car from me...
1473
01:27:40,989 --> 01:27:44,425
but they gave me the biggest vote
in American history.
1474
01:27:44,425 --> 01:27:47,395
And then they flushed me
down the toilet.
1475
01:27:47,395 --> 01:27:49,831
And they wanted me to stay down.
1476
01:27:49,831 --> 01:27:52,767
They wanted me to kill myself.
1477
01:27:52,767 --> 01:27:54,702
Well, I won't do it.
1478
01:27:54,702 --> 01:27:56,638
If they want me dead...
1479
01:27:56,638 --> 01:27:58,606
they'll have to do it.
1480
01:27:59,941 --> 01:28:02,810
Fuck 'em! Fuck 'em!
1481
01:28:02,810 --> 01:28:05,013
Fuck 'em! Fuck 'em!
1482
01:28:05,013 --> 01:28:07,048
Fuck 'em!
1483
01:28:07,048 --> 01:28:08,983
- Fuck 'em!
- Four more years!
1484
01:28:08,983 --> 01:28:10,652
Fuck 'em!
1485
01:28:10,652 --> 01:28:12,453
Fuck 'em!
1486
01:28:12,453 --> 01:28:14,422
Fuck 'em!
1487
01:28:14,422 --> 01:28:17,925
Fuck 'em! Fuck 'em! Fuck 'em!
1488
01:28:17,925 --> 01:28:21,262
- Four more years!
Fuck 'em!
1489
01:28:21,262 --> 01:28:25,400
Fuck 'em!
1490
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:29,037
Four more years! Four more years!
1491
01:28:29,037 --> 01:28:32,807
Four more years! Four more years!
1492
01:28:32,807 --> 01:28:36,544
Four more years! Four more years!
1493
01:28:36,544 --> 01:28:40,248
Four more years! Four more years!
1494
01:28:40,248 --> 01:28:43,985
Four more years! Four more years!
1495
01:28:43,985 --> 01:28:47,887
Four more years! Four more years!
