Gentlemen, the presidency was
never won by a vice president...
:11:10
...filling out his fallen predecessor's
term of office.
:11:13
That may not be in this instance...
:11:15
The only thing people will
remember about McKinley...
:11:18
...is he got himself shot.
:11:19
Teddy's the most popular president
since Washington.
:11:22
Why drag in Washington?
:11:24
You know it and I know it, but that
damn cowboy doesn't know it.
:11:28
What he wants is some issue
to hang his campaign on...
:11:32
...something to arouse the populace.
:11:34
- A cavalry charge?
- So to speak.
:11:38
Morocco?
:11:39
You know as well as I do
we can't have Arab desperadoes...
:11:43
...running around kidnapping
American citizens.
:11:45
If I had my way,
I'd go in with Winchesters...
:11:48
...a battalion of Marines...
:11:50
- I can't do that. Can I?
- No.
:11:52
- Has this Raspuli...?
- Raisuli.
:11:54
Raspuli, Raisuli, whatever.
:11:56
- Has he made any terms?
- No.
