1:44:06
She wants me to go.
There's a car waiting for me downstairs.
1:44:12
The convention reconvenes at nine
for the acceptance speeches.
1:44:17
I don't think anything will happen
until then.
1:44:21
- I'd better go now.
- Here's a number.
1:44:31
I've got 500 people at my disposal.
A thousand if I need them.
1:44:35
You call me at that number.
Try to call me by 8.30.
1:44:39
Or as soon as you find out whatever it is
they want you to do. I'll be waiting.
1:44:43
Yes, sir.
1:44:47
Raymond.
1:44:51
Remember, Raymond,
the wires have been pulled.
1:44:55
They can't touch you any more.
You're free.
1:45:11
It's been decided
that you will be dressed as a priest
1:45:15
to help you get away
in the pandemonium afterwards.
1:45:18
Chunjin will give you a two-piece sniper's
rifle that fits nicely into a special bag.
1:45:25
There's a spotlight booth
that won't be in use.
1:45:28
It's up under the roof
on the Eighth Avenue side of the Garden.
1:45:32
You will have absolutely clear,
protected shooting.
1:45:41
You are to shoot the presidential nominee
through the head,
1:45:45
and Johnny will rise gallantly to his feet
1:45:48
and lift Ben Arthur's body in his arms,
1:45:52
stand in front of the microphones
and begin to speak.
1:45:57
The speech is short.
1:45:59
But it's the most rousing speech
I've ever read.
