2:33:04
Yeah.
2:33:07
If only the, uh...
2:33:09
Mr. President.
What?
2:33:11
Sir, Congress is, uh...
No, over here, sir.
2:33:14
Sir, Congress is considering
Four articles of impeachment.
2:33:16
Yeah. For what?
They're very serious charges, sir.
2:33:19
First, abuse of power.
Yep.
2:33:22
Second, obstruction of justice.
Yeah, what else?
2:33:24
Third, failure to
cooperate with Congress.
2:33:27
And last, bombing Cambodia, sir.
2:33:29
They can't impeach me for Cambodia;
the president can bomb anybody he likes.
2:33:32
Thas true.
We'll win that, but the other three...
2:33:35
You know, Fred, they sell tickets.
Is Ron, sir.
2:33:38
They sell tickets to an impeachment
like a damn circus.
2:33:41
Okay, so they impeach me.
Well, fuck 'em!
2:33:44
Yeah, well, is just
a matter of mathematics.
2:33:47
How many votes we have in the Senate?
About a dozen.
2:33:51
A dozen? Jeez, I got
half of 'em elected.
2:33:54
Okay, so I got
the South and, uh...
2:33:57
Goldwater and his boys.
2:34:00
I'll take my chances in the Senate.
Yes, we should.
2:34:03
This damn leg.
Well, then, sir, we'll, uh...
2:34:06
...have to deal with the possibility
of removal from office...
2:34:10
...loss of pension
and possibly...
2:34:12
...possibly
even prison.
2:34:14
Yeah, well, plenty of people
did their best writing in prison.
2:34:17
Gandhi, Lenin.
Thas right.
2:34:20
What I know about this country,
I could rip it apart.
2:34:23
If they want a public humiliation,
thas what they'll get.
2:34:27
Yes, they will.
I will never resign this office. Never.
2:34:30
Where the fuck am I? Whas in there?
2:34:32
The P.O.W.s and their families.
Oh. I'm supposed to be...
2:34:35
Compassionate, grateful...
Proud.
2:34:37
Sir?
Proud. Of them.
2:34:39
Oh, yes, of course.
Fire him.
2:34:41
Who?
Cox. Archibald Cox. Fire him!
2:34:44
He works for the attorney general.
2:34:47
Only Richardson can fire him.
May I echo my concern here, sir?
2:34:50
Then tell Richardson
to fire him!
2:34:52
Well, Richardson won't do that, sir.
He'll resign.
2:34:55
The hell he will.
Then fire him too.
2:34:57
If you have to go all the way down to
the janitor at the justice department...
