I simply want to know
how you found this out.
So then it is true.
‐ No, Dick.
I just want to know
how you found this out.
‐ Hoover called me.
Heard from
one of the joint chiefs that‐‐
that you were gonna have
a little talk with Jack.
What does that mean,
Mr. President?
‐ It means I should have fired
that bastard Hoover
when I had the chance.
‐ Are you gonna tell Jack
about the alien treaty?
‐ He's the President
of the United States, Dick.
He deserves to know
what's going on.
‐ Sir,
Kennedy cannot be trusted.
‐ You're just sore because
he whooped you in the election.
‐ Ha.
He didn't whoop me.
He stole it.
Son of a bitch Daley
handed it to him.
‐ You oughta control that
perspiration problem of yours,
Dick.
‐ We're getting
off the subject, sir.
You once told me your motto
was, "Never make mistakes
in a hurry."
I implore you,
don't abandon that motto now.
‐ I did nothing
for several months.
Now things
are changing quickly.
They're ramping up.
Bobby's already making
inquiries
about the black budget.
And I'm sure Jack
put him up to it,
but they're gonna find out
the truth.
We just need
to get ahead of it.
‐ And‐and what if Kennedy's
Roman Catholic conscience
can't live with this?
Are you really gonna
take the chance
that they might cancel
the treaty?
Ike, he's soft.
He's a Democrat.
He has no‐‐
he has no balls.
I have grave concerns, Ike.
Grave concerns.
‐ I'm gonna give them every
consideration they deserve.

‐ I can't believe that
son of a bootlegging prick
is actually making us wait.
‐ Language, Dick.
We've only been here
30 seconds.
‐ Well, we shouldn't be here
at all, Mr. President.
‐ Come right this way.
Can I get you gentlemen
anything?
‐ Oh, thank you, Evelyn, no.
‐ No thanks.
‐ Thank you, Evelyn.
‐ This is a surprise, Ike.
I think last time we met
it took us a week
to get all our ducks in a row.
‐ Well, the less people
who know about this meeting,
the better.
‐ Well,
I'm on pins and needles.
Dick,
how's New York treating you?
‐ Oh, just peachy.
I think I actually spotted
an American citizen
the other day.
Well, gentlemen, please.
‐ Thank you.
‐ Sure.
Okay.
So what's the mystery?
Is someone in my cabinet
a Russian spy?
‐ I wish it were only that.

Truman to show up,

how you must feel.
It's a hard pill to swallow.
‐ Can we call someone?
You don't look very well, Jack.
‐ Because I'm not well.
I can't understand
how a sitting president‐‐
once the Supreme
Allied Commander in Europe‐‐

Allowing Americans to be
abducted and experimented on?

What else is there?
‐ The director of the CIA,
the head of the DOD,
the joint chiefs‐‐

And I'm the damn President
of the United States
elected by the American people,
and they were gonna
keep this from me.
‐ Jack, honey,
aren't you even gonna try
to get into the mood?
‐ How come you're not
going crazy about this?
‐ What do you mean?
‐ Well, I tell you
we have a treaty with aliens,
and it's as if I've told you
that we're...
we're repainting
the Lincoln Bedroom.
‐ Well, I've always known
something like this
was happening.
‐ You have?
‐ When I was a little girl,
I woke up
in the middle of the night
to this...
sound.
There was this teddy bear.
I didn't know
where it came from.
My foster parents
never game me any toys.

And I told my foster mother.
She didn't believe me
and she told me I was crazy.

It wasn't a dream.
I've never been so scared
in my life.
And I do appreciate you taking
me into your confidence.
‐ I can't tell Jackie.
I need to tell someone.
‐ You know what I think
is really bothering you?
‐ What's that?
‐ You know what you need to do,
but you know
it's not going to be easy.
Jack, the American people
expect the truth from you.
It's why they love you.
‐ And it's why I love you too.

That Ivy League bastard‐‐

You're just dreaming,
it's okay, honey.
Hold on.

What is it, Dick?
‐ I just got word that, uh,
Kennedy is convening
a secret study group.
You wanna guess
what they're studying?
‐ Oh, God almighty.
‐ That's right.
Little Lord Fauntleroy's
just dying
to tell the American people
what's going on.
Now, we can't
just let this happen.
‐ Do we know
who's in the study group?
‐ Ike, you can bet your ass
there's at least one
goddamn Jew
and one Harvard fuck.
And they're gonna go
to the media.
They always do.
And then we're‐‐

had a better reason.

This Salisbury steak

melt‐in‐your‐mouth delicious.
Even for breakfast.
Don't you think?
‐ And you cooked this
in a new microwave oven?
‐ Took all of 30 seconds.
I have to confess
I was a trifle nervous
about using technology
we got from them.
But I have to admit...
it's absolutely life‐changing.
The public
is going to eat it up.
‐ Mmm, mmm.

‐ We interrupt you
with a special news bulletin.
The President was shot
as he drove
from Dallas Airport
to downtown Dallas.
It is reported
that three bullets rang out.
A Secret Service man was heard
to shout from the car,
"He's dead."
‐ Ike.
‐ The President slumped into
the lap of the First Lady.
‐ Is that related to...
‐ Apparently,
a bullet wound in his head.
More details as they come.
‐ There is a species of fungus
that threatens
the Earth today.
It was discovered.
Dr. Palmer called it
"blood rust."
I've seen the blood rust.
‐ You need to call Jackie.
‐ Oh, call Jackie?
‐ To express your condolences.
‐ I will do no such thing.
The work I did
in the White House,
and all I got was scorn.
"The Pink Palace"
the press called it,
as if there's something wrong
with blush tones.
‐ I'm gonna make some calls.

you've done anything wrong.

You got a hearing problem, son?

something to pray to.
You're excused.
Get out!
You've all been briefed
as to what's going on,
so let's get the first
question out of the way.
Yes, it's true.
Every damn word of it.
‐ Mr. President...
this proposal
from these creatures
is a complete surrender
of our national sovereignty.
‐ If we don't play ball,
they'll make a treaty
with the Soviets.
The Russians are already
ahead of us in space.
A deal like this
could let us catch up.
‐ But at what cost?

Yeah, I probably would.
Well, why don't you just...
come here?
We're a pretty
welcoming country.
Why do you need
to abduct people?

is contaminated.
There are toxins and viruses

"The New York Times" says
adults across the country
are starting
to celebrate birthdays?
And all because of me
and the ones I throw

Birthday parties are not

with all due respect,
Mr. President,
the most important thing now
is the American people

would do to them.
Now, I've been called

But whether it's commies

I do not want to relinquish
the sovereignty of our country
any more than you do, sir.
But there may be another way.
‐ I'm afraid to ask.
‐ We play their game.
We give them what they need,
we take everything
they give to us,
and when the time is right,
we use their own technology
against them
and we kick their asses
right the hell back
to wherever it is those slimy
little bastards came from.

"what ifs" in that
that it's impossible to count.
