:08:01
- Mother, stop it.
- My two little boys. That is all I have...
:08:05
After his arrival in Washington,
:08:07
Raymond Shaw was decorated
at the White House
:08:10
by the President of the United States.
:08:12
His citation, attested to by
his commanding officer Captain Marco
:08:16
and the nine surviving members
of his patrol,
:08:19
read in part: "Displaying valour
above and beyond the call of duty,
:08:23
did single-handedly save the lives
of nine members of his patrol,
:08:27
capturing an enemy machine-gun nest
:08:29
and taking out
a full company of enemy infantry."
:08:32
"He led his patrol, which had been listed
as missing in action for three days,
:08:37
back through the enemy lines to safety."
:08:45
A gift from the Citizens For Iselin
Committee for his last birthday.
:08:48
It saved our lives during the campaign.
:08:50
You see, this opens up into a double bed.
:08:56
This is the press room.
:08:59
And this... This is my private office.
:09:03
Anything to take the pain
out of campaigning, eh?
:09:06
That's what I always say!
:09:09
- May I take this thing off now, Mother?
- Raymond, what is the matter with you?
:09:14
You look as if your head
were about to come to a point.
:09:16
Johnny, fix him a drink.
:09:18
Sit down, Raymond!
We'll be home in less than three hours.
:09:21
I'm not going home with you, Mother.
I'm going to New York.
:09:24
What?!
:09:26
I've got a job on a newspaper.
:09:28
Research assistant
to Mr Holborn Gaines.
:09:31
Holborn Gaines? That Communist?!
:09:34
He's not a Communist, Mother.
As a matter of fact, he's a Republican.
:09:37
But the terrible things
he's written about Johnny!
:09:41
He came to interview me
at the White House.
:09:44
Afterwards I asked him for a job.
He gave it to me.
:09:48
We discovered that we had
a great deal in common.
:09:51
What could you possibly have
in common with that dreadful old man?
:09:54
For one thing, we discovered that we
both loathe and despise you and Johnny.
