:42:05
Adlai
:42:09
Just can't seem to
get away from you guys
:42:12
Escaping from a night on the town?
:42:14
As D. C. 's most popular playboy
:42:16
the President felt my presence
would be sorely missed, so...
:42:19
in the interest of National Security
:42:22
here I am
:42:24
Yes. Gotta keep up appearances
:42:26
Of course, I don't any more
:42:30
I'm a political dead man
:42:33
Did you ever see anyone
cut his own throat like I did today?
:42:38
No
:42:40
It's alright
:42:42
By the way
:42:43
I spoke to a friend
:42:45
Reston and Frankel have the story
:42:47
The Times is going to run it tomorrow
:42:53
We're not gonna make it to Monday
:42:54
Shit
:42:55
I'll get Sorenson
to try to lean on Reston
:42:58
But you're gonna
have to call Orville Dryfoos
:43:00
This is the sort of decision
a publisher makes himself
:43:03
Alright
:43:05
Thanks, Kenny
:43:08
Yes sir, I understand
:43:09
But we held on the Bay of Pigs
:43:11
and it was the
biggest mistake of my life
:43:13
What makes this different?
:43:13
Orville, I'm asking you
to hold the story
:43:15
until I can present
our course of action on Monday night
:43:21
Alright
:43:21
But I'm gonna need a reason
to give my boys
:43:24
They're gonna be screaming
for my head on a plate
:43:25
Orville, you tell them this
:43:28
That they'll be saving lives
:43:30
including their own
:43:34
Yes, Mr. President
