When I was younger,
I had thoughts of public office.
:58:10
But I found, that...
:58:12
...l was able to contribute more
as a private citizen.
:58:17
Of course...
:58:19
...my wealth provided me
with considerable influence.
:58:23
But I've tried, believe me, I've tried...
:58:27
...not to misuse that power.
:58:30
It's extremely important
that we don't allow ourselves...
:58:35
...to become blinded to the needs
of our government...
:58:39
...no matter how strong the temptation.
:58:44
I've been labeled a kingmaker...
:58:47
...but I've tried...
:58:49
...to keep myself open
to the voice of the people.
:58:53
And I've remained honest to myself.
:58:57
That's the main thing.
:58:58
-Good morning, Mr. Rand.
-Good morning, gentlemen.
:59:20
Where the hell is he?
:59:23
Mr. President.
:59:26
Ben.
:59:43
It's good to see you. You look terrific.
:59:46
Thank you, Mr. President.
:59:48
Your visit has helped to raise my spirits.
:59:51
I've missed you, my friend.
:59:55
Come, sit down. Take a load off your feet.
