0:00:03 > 0:00:04I feel much better now I'm not doing those shots.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Maybe you should think about stopping.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Well, I'm not a kid any more, but I keep acting like one.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11It was humiliating.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14I'm taking the kids to Virginia in the morning.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15I'll stay a while and do my work from there.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Did Bobby send you here to fix my marriage?
0:00:17 > 0:00:18He doesn't know I'm here.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12I just have to tell you, Mr President,
0:03:12 > 0:03:13it's humiliating to me
0:03:13 > 0:03:16that you had to come down here in the first place,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18that you think I can't handle these boys in my own state.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20It's not that I don't think you can handle it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23But I'm the President. They need to hear it from me.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25It just makes it seem like all the rumours
0:03:25 > 0:03:26I've been hearing are true.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28What rumours?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30That you don't want me on the ticket next year.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I've heard all that, Lyndon. And it's not true.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Well, I wish you'd tell Bobby,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36cos I think he's the one that's spreading them.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38SIGHS: what do you Really want?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Just tell me the truth.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41If I'm not gonna be on the ticket,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45tell me now so I can make a graceful exit.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Save me some shred of dignity after what has been
0:03:48 > 0:03:51the unhappiest period of my life.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Yeah, I know it's not always been easy for you.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56And I appreciate your loyalty to me
0:03:56 > 0:03:59and I believe you've served the country very well overseas.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03So, er, I'll tell you right now, you are on the ticket.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Thank you, Mr President.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08The only thing I ask is, er,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10if you do end up President someday,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13you don't revoke my brother's citizenship.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15LAUGHS
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Oh, er, how's Jackie?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20She's good.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22We were all so distraught when you lost the baby.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24You tell her from me,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26we got a ballroom full of people downstairs
0:04:26 > 0:04:28just waiting to welcome her back.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31OK.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Well, if it's a boy,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39how 'bout Patrick?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Patrick Joseph, for your father?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47No, I was thinking of, er, Patrick Bouvier for yours.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Thank you.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It's beautiful up here, isn't it?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Stay a few more days.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58No, I can't.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00They can run things without you.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I stay a few more days, they'll figure that out.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06CHUCKLES
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I don't think this is what the president had in mind
0:05:11 > 0:05:12when we got involved in this struggle.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Sir, our objective over there is still-
0:05:14 > 0:05:16If changing the regime increases loyalty to Saigon
0:05:16 > 0:05:19and motivates the South Vietnamese to fight
0:05:19 > 0:05:21and to sacrifice for their own country,
0:05:21 > 0:05:22I think it ought to be considered.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24You don't switch horses in midstream.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26We're over there to beat the Commies, pure and simple.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Well, once again, your tremendous grasp of the obvious
0:05:29 > 0:05:31is contributing nothing here.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33On the contrary, if you had a better grasp of the obvious,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35we'd get some work done, General.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Well, if we are to consider a regime change,
0:05:37 > 0:05:38I think one of the, er, first-
0:05:38 > 0:05:39< I'm sorry, Mr President.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Dr Walsh is on line two. Mrs Kennedy went into labour.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Doctor? Is my wife all right?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53And the baby?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's a boy. CHUCKLES

0:06:38 > 0:06:42MAN: Premature infants often have hyaline membrane disease.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46It causes the air sacs to collapse with each breath.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48The ventilator will hopefully force the sacs to stay open
0:06:48 > 0:06:50and oxygenate his blood.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Does my wife know?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53She knows there's a problem.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55But she doesn't know how serious?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56No, sir.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Mm-hmm.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I'm sorry, sir.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18He didn't make it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26We did everything we could, but...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I'm sorry, Mr President.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43It's my job. Uh, it's my job to protect my brother.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10He's my brother.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15And you're his. He owes you a little respect.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17He shouldn't be asking you to do this kind of thing.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18After all this time,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I thought you understood what it meant to be a Kennedy.
