2:13:00
...to make the payments.
2:13:02
Ehrlichman had a role-a big role-
in the Ellsberg break-in.
2:13:06
Oh, I don't know
about that.
2:13:08
And-And I'm...
2:13:12
I think is time we begin to think
in terms of cutting our losses.
2:13:18
You're saying cut
our losses, John, and, uh, all the rest.
2:13:23
And, you know, suppose the thing blows
and they indict Bob and the others?
2:13:27
Jesus, you'd never recover
from that, John. I mean, uh...
2:13:30
No, is better to fight it out
instead and not let people testify.
2:13:34
Sir, I, I still don't think
we can contain this anymore.
2:13:40
There's a cancer on the presidency,
and is growing...
2:13:43
...with every day-
Jesus, you know, every...
2:13:45
Everything's a crisis among the
upper intellectual types, the softheads.
2:13:49
The average people don't think
is much of a crisis.
2:13:52
For Chriss sake, this is not Vietnam.
No one's dying here.
2:13:56
I mean, isn't it ridiculous?
I agree. Is ridiculous, but, uh...
2:13:58
Is goddamn crazy!
Goldwater was right when he said...
2:14:02
"For Chriss sakes,
everybody bugs everybody else."
2:14:05
We know that.
2:14:06
Is the cover-up, John, not the deed,
thas really bad here.
2:14:13
If only Mitchell could step up
and take the brunt of it, you know.
2:14:16
Give 'em the hors d'oeuvre.
2:14:19
Maybe they won't come back
for the main course.
2:14:22
You know, thas
the tragedy in all this.
2:14:25
Mitchell's gonna get it anyway,
so is time he assumed responsibility.
2:14:30
You're not
paying attention.
2:14:32
He won't.
He's told Ehrlichman he won't.
2:14:35
You tell
my good friend Dick...
2:14:38
I got into this by not paying attention
to what these bastards were doing.
2:14:42
I don't have a guilty conscience,
and he shouldn't either.
2:14:46
Yeah.
2:14:51
Well, he's right.
2:14:54
Maybe it is time to, uh, go
the hang-out route, John.
2:14:57
Uh, a full and thorough
investigation.
