2:05:06
No, it could be ugly,
Henry, really ugly.
2:05:09
It must be done, sir.
Your government is paralyzed.
2:05:12
All kinds of shit could come out.
The Ellsberg thing.
2:05:14
You knew about that, didn't you, Henry?
Well, I heard something.
2:05:17
It sounded idiotic.
"Idiotic." Yeah, I suppose it was.
2:05:20
I thought it was your idea
to expose Ellsberg as a sex fiend.
2:05:23
I guess somebody just
took you too literally.
2:05:25
I never suggested a bunch of imbeciles
break into a psychiatriss office.
2:05:29
It doesn't matter. The point is you
might lose your media darling halo...
2:05:34
...if the media start sniffing
around our dirty laundry.
2:05:36
Sir, I never had anything to do with
That and I resent the implication...
2:05:39
Resent it all you want, Henry,
but you're in with the rest of us.
2:05:43
Cambodia.
Ellsberg.
2:05:46
The wiretaps you put in.
2:05:49
The president wants you to know you
can't just click your heels...
2:05:51
...and head back
to Harvard Yard.
2:05:53
Is your ass too, Henry, and is in
the wind twisting with everyone else's.
2:06:07
Sir.
2:06:08
Yeah?
2:06:10
There are times when even
the president can go too far.
2:06:19
You played it perfectly, sir.
2:06:21
That cocksucker'll think twice
before he leaks again.
2:06:23
Yeah.
2:06:25
He'll be looking in his toilet bowl
every time he pulls the chain.
2:06:29
Pardon them all.
2:06:32
Hunt and the Cubans have nothing
to lose now.
2:06:34
Nobody's going to investigate crime, for
which the criminals have already been pardoned.
2:06:38
Yeah, I like that, it is a good solution.
Yeah, but ill never do.
2:06:41
Pardoning them means we're all guilty.
The press, the people'll go nuts.
2:06:44
Am I supposed to just sit here
and watch them coming closer...
2:06:47
...eating their way
to the centre?
2:06:49
Lyndon bugged;
so did Kennedy.
2:06:51
F.D.R. cut a deal
with lucky Luciano.
2:06:53
Christ, even Eisenhower
had a mistress.
2:06:55
Whas so special about me?
Huh?
