Elvis & Nixon Page #8

Mind and body discipline, you know.

Would you like to see a demonstration?

Well, I think we probably have to...

Sonny.

All right, where should I...

No, you just back up, Mr. President.

Fumikiri!

- Mawashi-geri!

- Mawashi-geri!

Now, what I basically just said is that

I'm going to engage him in a fumikiri,

which is like an upward thrust to the jaw

followed by a high kick,

which most likely in real life

would render the recipient unconscious.

Sonny, come on.

That's how you could

take down your opponent

in the Shotokan style.

Well, that is very impressive.

That's how I learned

to develop these knuckles of steel.

Hey, come on, feel them.

All right, now slap 'em.

Slap 'em. Come on, harder.

Harder. Let it out. Let it out.

Those are the steel claws

of a tiger, Mr. President.

Mr. President.

Thanks, boss.

Let me just check this is clear.

Already clear.

Okay.

Fantastic.

This is a chrome-plated,

World War II commemorative,

Colt model 1911,

semi-automatic,

.45-caliber pistol.

The 1911 is a model

of power and reliability.

And designed by

the great John Moses Browning himself.

Wow!

I'm sure I don't have to tell you,

this is a standard issue side arm

of the United States Armed Forces

and, well, is

my preferred weapon of choice, too, sir.

What is the engraving there, on the side?

This is a real collector's piece, sir.

You see, it says

"December 11 th, 1941 to May 7th, 1943. "

That is in commemoration of

the European, African,

and Middle Eastern theater of operations.

Well, that's when I was there. '43.

I know, sir.

That's why I got it for you.

And these here are the...

Well, that's where the silver bullets

are supposed to be.

I suppose the Secret Service

took care of that.

Well, this is an incredible gift.

And I am so grateful that

you have gotten this for me.

- Thank you very much.

- You're welcome, sir.

I tried to present Vice President Agnew

with a very special side arm as well.

But he refused.

Well, that surprises me.

Yeah. Well, he said because

he's an elected official

he wasn't allowed to accept gifts.

But that he would be glad to accept it

once he left office...

Excuse me, Mr. President.

Yeah. Good job.

Well, I suppose I should be

getting ready for my shindig.

Well, it's been

an absolute pleasure, Elvis.

Thank you, Mr. President. You as well.

Mr. Presley.

To Julie.

Julie.

What's the matter,

the other one don't like me?

She likes the Beach Boys.

The Beach Boys.

Good Vibrations.

You want one too, Bud?

If you don't mind, Mr. Presley.

Of course.

Thank you.

No sweat, man. Sonny.

Sayonara.

Good day. I like him. Let me see that.

"Cool cat. "

You guys think I'm a cool cat?

I like it. All right.

Get me Henry on the phone.

You know, I've told him 1,000 times,

we have to wear them down.

We just wear down,

and this whole goddamn thing

between the Iraqis and the Syrians

will go away in a couple of weeks.

Go on, go on. For God's sake.

- On my honor...

- On my honor...

I will never betray my badge,

my integrity,

my character or the public trust.

I will never betray my badge,

my integrity, my character

or the public trust.

So help me God.

So help me God.

- Thank you, sir.

- Congratulations.

Well, sweetheart, I'm glad you like it.

Yeah, no, he was very nice.

Yes, very well-informed.

Well, perhaps your dad

is cooler than you'd like to think?

Damn it.

Yeah, I guess I'm back.
