I don't get it. Think about it from that guy's point of view, okay? The guy who died. He's lying there on the ground, staring up at the sky, near death, and then former president, Richard Nixon, appears before him and tells him he's gonna be fine. Now, did he think that's normal, right, that before they die everybody sees Nixon? You're expecting an angel and you get Nixon. - Exactly. Right? - Yeah. It's the same situation, just a vastly different point of view. - So there's two ways to look at something. - Yeah. - That's the point of the story? - Yeah. - Yeah, just say that. - What? Well, you just lead me on this epic fucking journey with this story and 10 minutes later the point is that there's two ways to look at something. Just... You could just say that. You didn't like that story?

No. Anyway, you know, Nixon's driving around one day around San Clemente. Just him and a few agents. Yeah. And they come across this car accident, right? There's a guy pinned under a car. Anyway, Nixon gets out, runs over to check on the guy, you know, leans down, and Nixon says to him, "You're gonna be okay, son. You're gonna be all right." And right then the guy dies.

Why not just go straight to the police? (LAUGHING) She is the police. She's the head of the Justice Department. You've got a point. Okay, or the newspaper? They all work together. God, have you been living under a rock? All right, so then your solution was you make a porn film. (SIGHS) It's not a porno! HOLLAND". You know, I have neighbors. - I made a statement. - JACKSON: Right. And yeah, yeah, my statement contained nudity. - Porno nudity. - AMELIA: Art. That's just the commercial element, okay? Okay? Sid said we had to have that. And the reality was we were getting our message out there. And it was all in the film, names and dates and everything, everything that my mom was doing, and once it was out there, once it was in theaters, there's no way that they could suppress it. There's no way that they could cover it up. HOLLAND". So let me get this straight. You made a porno film where the point was the plot? (SIGHS) What's your hang-up, man? JACKSON". It's not the sex. It's what's in the story. My mom found out.

The auto makers, she's gonna let 'em walk. - But they have the evidence. - Yes, they have evidence. They have memos proving that Detroit conspired to suppress the converter, proving they would rather poison our air than spend a little bit of money. But my mom, she's gonna say that's not enough. She's gonna lie because... Because she's on the take. Money again, right? Mammon, that's her god. That fascist crony... 'OkaY, Okay. =“bogafl! All right, all right, just back up a little bit. (SIGHS)

Mr. March, I just got a call from Judith. She didn't explain herself. Said she needed $100,000 in cash. -$100,000? Why? - TALLY: / don't know. I think she's involved in something shady maybe. Well, her daughter certainly seems to think so. What, Amelia? You found Amelia? HOLLAND; Yes. She fell on our car. We were just talking and she fell on our car. Anyway, she's here. You should come over. I'll send the family doctor.
