:16:00
...except maybe the impuIsive actions
of a headstrong cowboy.
:16:05
Who are you, mister?
:16:06
What do you mean, who am I?
:16:08
I am the President of the United States.
:16:11
Wrong answer.
:16:15
Who are you?
:16:18
I am the President of the--
I'm Artemus Gordon.
:16:22
How did you know?
:16:25
The President went to West Point.
That says Harvard.
:16:28
Very observant.
:16:32
Somebody mind teIIing me
what's going on?
:16:35
President Grant....
:16:38
Sir, these are periIous times.
:16:40
I was mereIy demonstrating how someone,
using the art of disguise...
:16:43
...couId penetrate into the very boweIs
of the White House, sir.
:16:48
You're cIever, Gordon. One day
it's going to get you kiIIed.
:16:52
Like today.
:16:55
And, West, not every situation caIIs for
your approach of ''shoot first...
:16:59
...shoot Iater, shoot some more...
:17:01
...then when everybody's dead,
try to ask a question or two.''
:17:05
Working together wiII be good.
:17:06
-Working together?
-With aII due respect--
:17:08
You'II work the way your
Commander in Chief teIIs you to.
:17:12
WeII, I was coming to that, sir.
:17:22
GentIemen, America's top scientists...
:17:25
...in the fieIds of physics,
hydrauIics, expIosives...
:17:28
...aII kidnapped in the Iast year, and
aII by GeneraI McGrath, it now appears.
:17:33
You two have been working
on the same case the whoIe time.
:17:37
Why did it take so Iong
to figure it out?
:17:39
One of us was trying to catch McGrath,
and the other was trying to marry him.
:17:43
We don't have time for this.
:17:46
OnIy one week, if we beIieve this.
:17:48
''GeneraI Grant,
the scientists you seek...
:17:51
...are in my empIoy creating
a weapons system...
:17:54
...beyond the paIe
of contemporary imagination.
:17:56
I suggest you put
your affairs in order.
:17:59
You have one week before you wiII
surrender the U.S. government.''
