:34:00
and we leak the idea of pulling
our Jupiter missiles out of Turkey
:34:04
The Soviets
pull their missiles out of Cuba
:34:09
We back JFK! K. and K. must talk!
:34:11
End the arms race, not the human race
:34:12
Hey, hey, JFK!
Let's not start a war today!
:34:24
Kenny
:34:26
Mac
:34:27
What did you think of
the Lippman column this morning?
:34:28
It's a bad idea
:34:29
Thank God. Look
everybody's furious about it
:34:31
We trade away our missiles in Turkey
and we are dead politically
:34:34
You've gotta stop it
:34:35
We know it was Jack and Bobby's idea
:34:36
They leaked it to Lippman
:34:38
The military guys are going ape
and they're not alone
:34:39
They should speak up
:34:41
Christ, Ken, it's not that easy
:34:43
It is
:34:43
It isn't. They don't trust
the people that feel this way
:34:45
But these people are right
and the Kennedys are wrong
:34:47
We need you to talk to them
They'll listen to you
:34:50
Jack and Bobby are good men
But it takes a certain kind of...
:34:51
You mean the President
of the United States?
:34:53
And the Attorney General?
:34:55
Kenny, they are good men
but it takes certain character
:34:56
moral toughness
to stand up to the Soviets
:35:00
You're in the White House right now
because of the Kennedys
:35:03
They may be wrong. They make mistakes
:35:06
But they are not weak
:35:08
The weak ones are these people
who can't speak their own minds
:35:11
You know I don't mean
that they're weak
:35:12
No, you just lack a "moral toughness"
:35:14
Jesus Christ, Mac!
:35:18
You think I'll play your Judas for you
:35:22
You never understood us, for you
:35:24
We've been fighting with each other
our whole lives
:35:26
But nobody plays us off each other
:35:28
and nobody ever
:35:29
ever gets between us
:35:32
It's trial balloon, Kenny
:35:34
Then somebody better publicly deny it
:35:37
because there's only one way
the world is gonna read this
:35:39
We sell out one of our own friends
for own safety
:35:44
Fuck!
:35:45
Exactly
:35:48
Jesus Christ. They're killing us
:35:51
... and enter into negotiations...
:35:55
in order to normalize
this confrontation
:35:58
and avert the threat of a world war
