:14:10
Just try this on for size
:14:13
We get a hold of Walter Lippman
:14:15
and we leak the idea of pulling
our Jupiter missiles out of Turkey
:14:20
The Soviets
pull their missiles out of Cuba
:14:25
We back JFK! K. and K. must talk!
:14:26
End the arms race, not the human race
:14:28
Hey, hey, JFK!
Let's not start a war today!
:14:39
Kenny
:14:41
Mac
:14:42
What did you think of
the Lippman column this morning?
:14:44
It's a bad idea
:14:45
Thank God. Look
everybody's furious about it
:14:47
We trade away our missiles in Turkey
and we are dead politically
:14:49
You've gotta stop it
:14:51
We know it was Jack and Bobby's idea
:14:52
They leaked it to Lippman
:14:53
The military guys are going ape
and they're not alone
:14:55
They should speak up
:14:57
Christ, Ken, it's not that easy
:14:58
It is
:14:59
It isn't. They don't trust
the people that feel this way
:15:00
But these people are right
and the Kennedys are wrong
:15:03
We need you to talk to them
They'll listen to you
:15:05
Jack and Bobby are good men
But it takes a certain kind of...
:15:07
You mean the President
of the United States?
:15:08
And the Attorney General?
:15:10
Kenny, they are good men
but it takes certain character
:15:12
moral toughness
to stand up to the Soviets
:15:15
You're in the White House right now
because of the Kennedys
:15:19
They may be wrong. They make mistakes
:15:21
But they are not weak
:15:24
The weak ones are these people
who can't speak their own minds
:15:26
You know I don't mean
that they're weak
:15:27
No, you just lack a "moral toughness"
:15:30
Jesus Christ, Mac!
:15:33
You think I'll play your Judas for you
:15:37
You never understood us, for you
:15:39
We've been fighting with each other
our whole lives
:15:41
But nobody plays us off each other
:15:43
and nobody ever
:15:45
ever gets between us
:15:47
It's trial balloon, Kenny
:15:49
Then somebody better publicly deny it
:15:52
because there's only one way
the world is gonna read this
:15:55
We sell out one of our own friends
for own safety
:15:59
Fuck!
