[Wheezing Laughter]
My God, my God, my God, my God...
how I used to love being president!
[Continues Laughing]
I used to enjoy that so much.
I cannot tell you
how much I enjoyed it.
I used to love to sit
in the Lincoln study...
with the fireplace going...
and the air conditioning on.
I used to love to
sit in there and think about...
Lincoln and, uh, Washington.
[Chuckling]
What a liar he was, huh?
That f***in' Washington!
[Chuckles]
I had -The Rose Garden
was so fragrant.
Oh! The yacht.
Sequoia.
I used to love to sit topside
on the fantail of the Sequoia.
Down the Potomac,
back to the navy yard...
sipping drinks with a friend...
and talking geopolitics.
[Chuckling]
Oh, yes, and the, uh-the jiga -jiga -
th-th-the n*gger-
t-t-t-t-the colored waiters
bringing up steaks from the galley.
[Laughing]
You know what I really used to enjoy?
I used to get a kick
out of calling in coaching plays...
on the white phone...
and going over the bombing targets
in Cambodia with Henry on the red phone...
at the same time!
That's fun!
[Laughing]
Oh, we were just rolling along
up there, you know.
Everything was just going along so-
But you know what happened?
The goddamn press and the liberals, they had -
[TVMonitors:
Static]Sh*t! F***!
[Clock Chiming 11:00]
[Whispering]
Roberto, when CBS calls...
don't you tell them that I -
Okay.
You just remember
what I told you. Okay?
The press and the liberals,
they're yellow!
Oh, yes, they hated me...
because they were scared too -
shitless!
Because I was their mess boy!
And you know something, Roberto?
You are mine!
And you watch out, seor...
because your turn is coming.
All you new guys -
you Cubans, you immigrants -
for the liberals. Oh, yeah.
The colored found that out when it was
too late, that it was the North, not the South -
They'll come after you the way they came
after me, and that is what made me: Their fear!
I knew who I was: Nobody.
All they knew was
that they didn't want to be me.
So you use 'em-the press and the liberals.
You let 'em use you.
You get in bed with 'em.
You f*** 'em! Cuba libre!
[Wheezing Chuckle]
[Switches Clicking]
I still have...
the nightmare.
But it is the American nightmare.
Sh*t. That's Uncle Sam.
Uncle Sam, he's the American nightm -
He's become nothing but a pitiful giant,
an old man being eaten alive...
by an army of"Ellsbergers" and, uh...
Ralph Naders and Jane Fondas,
all led by Hiss.
Alger Hiss!
[Hissing]
And all the Red rats of the Roosevelt - I mean,
the Rosenberg spy gang and the campus crowd -
They're allJews, you know,
every godd -
Look, Lansky and Ratner,
they're supposed to be big anticommu -
I mean, even Chotiner-
even Murray, he's a goddamn kike!
Well, the Committee of 100 would not
touch any of them with a ten-foot pole.
But when it comes time
to hide the bodies in the closet...
oh, yeah, then they pick up the phone
and they call Chotiner.
Then he contracts Miami and theJews.
Well, I beat 'em, theJews -
almost.
See -
[Sighs]
It was the, um, Committee of 100...
and the China plan people that I, uh -
l-I couldn't handle.
So that is the reason, Your Honor,
that we had to invent Deep Throat...
and use Watergate to, uh...
get out with a pardon...
so that, uh -
Because of the, uh -
Oh, God.
Sh*t!
Sh*t! Goddamn it!
Where is my mother's Bible?
Oh, yeah.
By that Kissinger sh*t!
[Scoffs]
'American Foreign Policy.
Henry 'A**hole' Kissinger."
[Blows Raspberry, Chuckles]
Kissinger, Kissinger, Kissinger!
Look, I don't owe any of them
a goddamn cent, much less an apology!
Especially him!
You I owe...
Mother.
Only you.
[Chuckling]
Oh. My, my, my, my, my, my.
[Chuckles]
He's got the same -
Just like I've got -
I like that. That's cute.
I like that.
[Stifled Sob]
Oh, no!
"Dear Master...
"The two boys that you left with me...
"are very bad to me.
"Their dog Jim...
"is very old...
"and he will never talk
or play with me.
"One Saturday
the boys went hunting.
"While going through the woods,
one of the boys tripped...
"and fell on me.
"I lost my temper...
"and I bit him.
"He kicked me in the side.
"I started to run.
"When I got home...
"I was very sore.
"I wish you would come home
right now...
"Mother.
"Your good dog...
Richard."
"Now I lay me...
down to sleep."
Arthur used to say
that little prayer for Mother.
What the hell are you looking at?
F***ing Kissinger!
You Judas son of a b*tch!
You wrote that I was praying for guidance
after the Watergate...
on the rug that the shah gave me.
the American people the truth about Dr. Sh*t-ass!
Yes! How Dr. Sh*t-ass
took a fortune from the shah...
and how you and the other guy...
fixed the shah up in New York
with a bunch of nice young boys!
That's right, Henry. Deep Throat is going
to strike again, and you are going to get yours.
I made you, and I can break you...
you slimy, two-faced...
brown-nosed, ass-licking...
kraut son of a b*tch!
[Blows Raspberry, Laughing]
Mother? I - Mother, please.
Have mercy on me.
Sh*t! Stop it! Stop this crap,
for Christ's sake! Stop it!
Think of something good.
Like what? What, what, what, what, what?
Yes, um - Oh, yes!
Um, uh -
Playing "king of the pool" with Bebe
down at Key Biscayne at 2:00 a. M...
Sh*t! What else?
What else, what else?
O-Oh, yes. Uh, having, uh, dinner
at Pompano Beach at the Cork and Screw.
Hobo steaks, ice creams and -
Pistachio, that was -
Aw, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!
[Inhales]
They gave you the Nobel Peace Prize...
and me they called
the Mad Bomber!
Look, I had to do it.
I promised to get us out with honor.
I could not go soft.
Did you know that I was in Russia...
during the heaviest part
of the bombing in Cambodia?
You know, the Russians, they suffered too
in the war. They lost 25 million -
And I knelt beside
the monuments in Moscow...
and I read the diaries of the children -
the dead children.
Me. Not him, me!
And how they died.
They gave that whoremaster
the Nobel Prize...
and me they called freak...
madman, juke, callicak-
[Stammers]
Look, they even said...
that I stole the goddamn silverware
out of the White House, for Christ's sake!
The mad bomber theory
was Henry's idea in the first place...
to scare the North Vietnamese!
And that fat f***...
is walking around telling everybody
that I'm nuts?
[Scoffs] And all the time
he thinks that he is, uh, Napoleon?
Or Metternich, for Chri -
[Muttering]
Son of a b*tch! I -
And then those kids
tearing up Washington after Cambodia?
F*** 'em!
Those kids will not judge me.
I couldn't sleep.
I came down to the Lincoln Monument
to talk to the kids. I was so ashamed.
All I could think of to talk about
F*** 'em!
Those kids will not evaluate my life!
Because I am a Quaker,
