2:37:00
Makes me sound
like an anti-Semite.
2:37:02
We can check the tapes again.
No need. I know what I said.
2:37:05
Have you lost your mind?
Look, Al! Nixon can't say this!
2:37:09
'Niggers. Niggers." It can't say that!
We could delete it.
2:37:13
We're doing the best we can.
Well, is not good enough!
2:37:16
Would you have us black it out, sir?
We could write "expletive deleted."
2:37:19
Cut all these 'goddamns'
and 'Jesus Christs' out.
2:37:23
Jesus.
Mr. President.
2:37:25
Don't you see that all these
deletion marks in the transcripts...
2:37:28
...make it look as though you...
you do nothing but swear?
2:37:35
It soils
my mother's memory.
2:37:38
You think I want the whole goddamn world
to see my mother like this?
2:37:41
Raising a dirty-mouth?
2:37:43
We could start again, sir, but we don't
really have the staff to do that.
2:37:48
Then start over!
Just start over!
2:37:51
The world will see
Only what I show 'em!
2:37:54
From page one, Al.
Page one, Ron!
2:37:57
Ron, get in there and do something.
All this stuff...
2:38:08
Five seconds,
Mr. President.
2:38:10
And four, three, two...
2:38:19
Good evening,
my fellow Americans.
2:38:22
Tonight I'm
taking an action...
2:38:23
...unprecedented in the history
of this office.
2:38:27
I had no knowledge of the cover-up
till John Dean told me about it...
2:38:31
...on March 21st, a year ago.
I think I'm going to throw up.
2:38:34
...no payment to Hunt
or anyone else be made.
2:38:37
He's lost touch with reality.
I've made my mistakes...
2:38:40
...but in all my years of public life,
I have never profited...
2:38:44
Can you imagine what
this man would have been...
2:38:47
...had he ever been loved?
I've earned every penny.
2:38:50
In all of my years
of public life...
2:38:52
I have never obstructed justice.
Is a tragedy...
2:38:54
...because he had greatness in his grasp.
I welcome this examination.
2:38:57
But he had the defects
of his qualities.
