:03:01
- Can you keep a secret, sir?
- I doubt it.
:03:05
Well, in that case, Mr. Hale...
:03:08
"Croak him," "waste him,"
"grease him."
:03:11
- And you still don't understand?
- No, sir.
:03:14
Well, how's this:
K- l-double-L him, by God.
:03:17
- By God, sir?
- By executive action.
:03:19
Fire him! Shoot him!
Charge the CIA with treason!
:03:22
- Too late.
- Deny it.
:03:25
- Pat, boy!
- Mr. President.
:03:28
- Excuse me.
- President's office.
:03:32
You're angry.
:03:34
Disappointed.
:03:37
Drink?
:03:39
Coffee?
:03:42
Carrot juice?
:03:45
Hemlock.
:03:49
A few answers, Mr. President,
spiked with the truth.
:03:55
Well, I don't know where to begin.
:03:58
How about "K-l-double- L him"?
:04:03
Well, nothing is
what it seems to be.
:04:06
Like what you didn't do, but did.
:04:09
But never intended to.
:04:11
Plausible deniability.
:04:16
Justifiable homicide.
:04:19
- And that's it, all of it.
- Everything?
:04:22
- Except for some things.
- What things?
:04:24
- Things I can't talk about.
- Why?
:04:27
- Executive privilege.
- To withhold information?
:04:30
Even from Congress, from the courts.
:04:33
Mr. President, according to the law,
we're supposed to be equal.
:04:36
We are, only some of us are
more equal than others.
:04:41
George Orwell.
:04:42
I go on air with that,
you're out, Mallory's in.
:04:45
Can't. Two reasons.
One: We're friends.
:04:47
- That wouldn't stop me.
- Two: It's classified.
:04:50
- Who classified it?
- I did.
:04:51
- When?
- Just now.
:04:55
That, my friend,
is executive privilege.
:04:58
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
The president will be here in a minute.
