The Pelican Brief

1:24:04

It was the right thing to do,
no matter where the body was found.

1:24:15

You can't announce
the nominations next week.

1:24:18

You said they'd be vetted this weekend.

1:24:20

There must be a change in plans.

1:24:22

I don't understand.

1:24:24

The Pelican Brief.

1:24:27

What about the Pelican Brief?

1:24:30

I thought that was ancient history.

1:24:32

We believe that Grantham's
gotten ahold of it.

1:24:36

Mattiece will sue them
if they try to publish that.

1:24:39

Not if it's true.

1:24:46

You think it's true?

1:24:49

I know what Grantham will write:

1:24:51

"A man who gave
the President millions...

1:24:54

...had two Supreme Court Justices killed
so the President...

1:24:57

...could appoint
more reasonable judges...

1:24:59

...so his oil could be harvested. "

1:25:02

If Voyles says you told him to back off
the case, we face an obstruction charge.

1:25:07

Oh, Jesus!

1:25:11

There's a way to handle this.

1:25:13

Handle it how?

1:25:16

We appoint two nature-lovers
to the court.

1:25:19

Good environmentalists
who'd kill Mattiece and his oil field.

1:25:24

Meet with Voyles, in the presence
of the Attorney General...

1:25:27

...and demand an investigation
into Mattiece.

1:25:30

I'll leak the brief
to every reporter in town.

1:25:33

Then we ride out the storm.

1:25:36

But there has to be some way to keep
this information from coming out.

1:25:41

I'm working on it.

1:25:44

What? How?

1:25:45

Mr. President...

1:25:47

...you don't want to know.

1:25:59

What's this all about?
