it's all right, sandy -- -- you're in charge of the case?
you want what, positive identification? yes, that was my wife. anything else?
i took the entire staff down -- always do this time of year.
she was, had it all planned, but you know women, they change their minds.
i'd been married to my rebecca for forty-seven years and when she died, i decided i never wanted that pain again. one thing i knew about christy: she was going to outlive me.
you mean the contents of the vault of course -- -- sandy, you go on, i'm all right. really. go to the reception -- obviously i can't make it, but i'm sure everyone will understand.
i know it's not the contents -- you mean the chair. you have to ask about the chair.
but why? are they connected?
i'd hoped i could satisfy her.  but you know.  she had needs and she didn't want to go behind my back.  she suggested the chair.  she hoped i might get to like sitting there.  .  i didn't.  i've tried for eighty years to live a decent life. i've given a billion dollars to charity. if this comes to trial, none of that will be remembered -- i'll just go out as the joke of the world.
will you listen to me whine? please forgive me, mr. frank. just do your job. and i'll do mine.
the chef makes them especially for me -- i promise you they're sinful.
this is a new arena for me, but from what i'm told, you have a flawless reputation, mister mccarty -- which is why i need to employ you.
i have no idea who i'm after. until i do, you will have to wait in washington for instructions.
when i was 10 my father died -- he was a miner and lung disease killed him. i became rich at 25 and the first thing i did was purchase that mine, close it, and give every miner there fifty thousand dollars to retire on. you will come to washington, mr. mccarty. you will put one million dollars expenses into the swiss * bank account of your choosing. and, when the time comes, two million dollars a bullet.
selling sin is easy.
is this a shortcut, tommy? *
very unusual -- what do i call you?
and are you familiar with how to get to my home, luther?
-- i'm sorry i missed -- i believe in the old testament, sir -- there is nothing wrong with an eye for an eye when a terrible deed has been done. a deed such as yours.
have no idea -- you going to rob me again? --
i'm afraid we're a little late for an attempt at leniency.
i want to know.
-- i could walk through fire --
who else was in my house?
nonsense.
stop this --
it was you.
who was it then?
stop the car --
-- it's too terrible.
 i know about alan's reputation as a philanderer.  but.  he would never dream of betraying me.  i gave him the presidency.
that's not real proof.
you could have stolen this.
i did love her, you know.
is he working late? i haven't an appointment but i'd like to see him if i might.
i know he's been feeling the pressure of office more than ever lately. we've talked about it a great deal.
that's a question that will haunt me forever. of course i tried to stop him -- -- alan was like a son to me.
