:54:02
But we have to make them agree to it
:54:03
So how do we do that?
:54:04
We give them something
:54:06
We tell them
we'll remove the missiles from Turkey
:54:08
Hang on
:54:10
But we don that six months from now
so it appears there's no linkage
:54:13
We also tell them
if they go public about it
:54:16
we'll deny it
:54:17
Right we deny it. The deal's off
:54:18
And we do it under the table
so we can disavow any knowledge of it
:54:21
It's transparent, Kenny
The press will be all over it
:54:24
Six months from now
we're not gonna care, are we?
:54:27
We'll deal with it then
:54:28
At the least, it'll expulse
whether Kruschev has been overthrown
:54:31
We'll know who we're up against
:54:32
I've been thinking about Kruschev
:54:34
And if this is a move to appease
the hard-liners in his government
:54:37
it may be just the bone he needs to
regain control of his own house
:54:41
Whoever carries the message
has to hit the nail on the head
:54:44
If we come across as too soft
they'll push us
:54:47
Too hard, they'll be cornered
and even more dangerous
:54:51
All of you do understand
:54:53
that there is an enormous risk
in offering this deal
:54:56
Because if they turn us down
and we've already told them
:54:58
that we're coming in on Monday morning
:55:00
They'll strike first
:55:01
Yes
:55:05
Bobby
:55:07
You know Dobrynin best
:55:09
Yeah
:55:12
Then you're it
:55:15
Ted, I want you
to start working the draft
:55:18
Bobby, you gotta go in there
and make them understand
:55:21
that we have to
have an answer tomorrow
:55:23
Because Monday we go to war
:55:43
What do you want, a goodbye kiss?
:55:48
Listen
:55:50
I'll take care of him
:55:51
Go on inside, grab some coffee
We'll be back pretty quick
:55:53
Are you sure?
:55:54
Sure
:55:55
What's the matter with you?
:55:57
Forget how to open a car door?
