Adlai
:42:10
Just can't seem to
get away from you guys
:42:13
Escaping from a night on the town?
:42:15
As D. C. 's most popular playboy
:42:17
the President felt my presence
would be sorely missed, so...
:42:20
in the interest of National Security
:42:24
here I am
:42:25
Yes. Gotta keep up appearances
:42:28
Of course, I don't any more
:42:32
I'm a political dead man
:42:34
Did you ever see anyone
cut his own throat like I did today?
:42:39
No
:42:41
It's alright
:42:43
By the way
:42:44
I spoke to a friend
:42:46
Reston and Frankel have the story
:42:49
The Times is going to run it tomorrow
:42:54
We're not gonna make it to Monday
:42:56
Shit
:42:57
I'll get Sorenson
to try to lean on Reston
:42:59
But you're gonna
have to call Orville Dryfoos
:43:01
This is the sort of decision
a publisher makes himself
:43:04
Alright
:43:06
Thanks, Kenny
:43:09
Yes sir, I understand
:43:10
But we held on the Bay of Pigs
:43:12
and it was the
biggest mistake of my life
:43:14
What makes this different?
:43:15
Orville, I'm asking you
to hold the story
:43:16
until I can present
our course of action on Monday night
:43:22
Alright
:43:23
But I'm gonna need a reason
to give my boys
:43:25
They're gonna be screaming
for my head on a plate
:43:26
Orville, you tell them this
:43:29
That they'll be saving lives
:43:31
including their own
:43:35
Yes, Mr. President
