:51:10
Dammit!
:51:14
Jesus, Mary and Joseph...
:51:15
Take off for two hours
you're gonna miss a little drama
:51:17
I told you how stupid it was
to float that Lippman article
:51:19
Now you're gonna do it for real?
:51:21
The Jupiters are obsolete, Kenny
:51:22
They were supposed to
have been dismantled last summer
:51:24
I know they're obsolete
That's not the point!
:51:27
The point is you trade our missiles
in Turkey for theirs in Cuba
:51:31
they're gonna force us into
trade after trade, until finally
:51:33
a couple of months from now
they demand something we won't trade
:51:36
like Berlin
:51:38
And we do end up in a war
:51:41
Not to mention that
long before that happens
:51:42
this administration
will be politically dead
:51:44
I don't care if this administration
ends up in the freaking toilet
:51:48
We don't do a deal tonight
there won't be any administration
:51:50
It's the wrong move, Bobby
and it's not just me who thinks that
:51:53
Everyone on this so-called EXCOM's
telling you the same thing
:51:58
Whose side are you on now, Ken?
:52:01
Oh, goddammit
:52:05
What if there
hasn't been a coup at all?
:52:09
What if it's you two?
:52:11
What is that supposed to mean?
:52:12
What if it was you two
:52:14
who invited that second letter by
raising the possibility of a trade?
:52:24
Mr. President
we have only 30 hours left
:52:27
and whatever response we send
:52:29
it'll take several hours
to reach our embassy
:52:31
and be delievered to the Kremlin
:52:34
So early tomorrow morning
is the earliest
:52:37
Kruschev could respond
:52:39
Which one of you geniuses
is gonna tell me how to
:52:42
explain it to the world
if we don't make this trade?
:52:46
So what are we gonna say
to the Soviets
:52:48
about this offer?
:52:50
Well, it depends, doesn't it?
:52:52
Do we really believe
there's been a coup?
:52:56
What if Fomin wasn't a ploy?
:52:58
What if his message was real?
