1:11:00
Take off for two hours
you're gonna miss a little drama
1:11:02
I told you how stupid it was
to float that Lippman article
1:11:04
Now you're gonna do it for real?
1:11:06
The Jupiters are obsolete, Kenny
1:11:08
They were supposed to
have been dismantled last summer
1:11:09
I know they're obsolete
That's not the point!
1:11:12
The point is you trade our missiles
in Turkey for theirs in Cuba
1:11:16
they're gonna force us into
trade after trade, until finally
1:11:19
a couple of months from now
they demand something we won't trade
1:11:22
like Berlin
1:11:23
And we do end up in a war
1:11:26
Not to mention that
long before that happens
1:11:27
this administration
will be politically dead
1:11:29
I don't care if this administration
ends up in the freaking toilet
1:11:33
We don't do a deal tonight
there won't be any administration
1:11:35
It's the wrong move, Bobby
and it's not just me who thinks that
1:11:38
Everyone on this so-called EXCOM's
telling you the same thing
1:11:43
Whose side are you on now, Ken?
1:11:46
Oh, goddammit
1:11:50
What if there
hasn't been a coup at all?
1:11:54
What if it's you two?
1:11:56
What is that supposed to mean?
1:11:57
What if it was you two
1:11:59
who invited that second letter by
raising the possibility of a trade?
1:12:10
Mr. President
we have only 30 hours left
1:12:12
and whatever response we send
1:12:14
it'll take several hours
to reach our embassy
1:12:16
and be delievered to the Kremlin
1:12:19
So early tomorrow morning
is the earliest
1:12:22
Kruschev could respond
1:12:25
Which one of you geniuses
is gonna tell me how to
1:12:27
explain it to the world
if we don't make this trade?
1:12:31
So what are we gonna say
to the Soviets
1:12:34
about this offer?
1:12:35
Well, it depends, doesn't it?
1:12:37
Do we really believe
there's been a coup?
1:12:41
What if Fomin wasn't a ploy?
1:12:43
What if his message was real?
1:12:45
What if what is happening
is a series of accidents?
1:12:49
Accidents like them
shooting down our U-2?
1:12:53
Yes. Accidents like that
1:12:56
And the accidents are making the
second letter seem more aggressive
1:12:59
and the whole situation
appear worse than it really is
