Jackie (2016) Edit

A big, beautiful procession that people will remember.

A crowd full of people, given what's happened,

A First Lady must always be ready to pack her suitcases.

A moment by moment account.

A new president...

A very bad man hurt Daddy.

About his funeral.

About the White House

Absolutely.

After he won the election.

After it has been removed from the White House,

Ah. In that case, any advice for me?

All in their full dress uniforms.

All the demands I made to honor him,

All the men who wait to see him now sit in the hall,

All these years, all your goddamn secrets!

All those cameras.

All those rooftops. All those windows.

Alone, if necessary.

Along with the dressing bureaus

Already they're treating him like some dusty old artifact,

Am I supposed to hide away? Now?

An ordinary man signed a document

And all of the things I'd always done,

And all the changes that she's made therein.

And as my eyes crossed the President's car...

And chair, and this table.

And coming home a hero.

And every administration since President Madison's time,

And every one of them

And explains through her soft sobs

And for tradition, you need time.

And God is everywhere.

And have a conference around this table, waiting for him.

And he slumps in my lap.

And his disciples asked, Who sinned,

And his head was so beautiful,

And his mouth was beautiful, and his eyes were open.

And how loyal he was.

And how would you like him remembered, Mrs. Kennedy?

And I am sorry, sir.

And I ask about his flaws,

And I couldn't campaign,

And I don't smoke.

And I just wanted to thank you.

And I put them in danger because of you.

And I suspect they'll make all their own decisions.

And I wanted to share it with the American people.

And I will walk to the Cathedral

And I'd imagine it's impossible

And I'm saying, Jack,

And I'm so sorry for your loss.

And I'm sure the tens of millions of people

And if I don't they'll interpret my silence

And if it's an American company

And in his word I put my hope.

And it was flesh colored, it wasn't white.

And it's too bad that ours is totally fucking wasted.

And Jesus said,

And my two babies.

And now I'm burying my husband.

And now they're blaming me for it.

And on the table is the Gettysburg Address.

And Patrick. Thirty nine hours on Earth.

And President Johnson?

And see if we want to keep them,

And see some of the restorations

And she explains...

And singing...

And tell General de Gaulle

And that last song, that last side of Camelot,

And that's a very good story.

And the collectors we bought it from...

And the man did, and he came back seeing.

And the talk of the taxpayer money being wasted?

And the Treaty Room?

And the Van Burens and the Tylers, too.

And then going off to that same war

And then through the descendants

And then we got in the White House,

And they represent important ideas in history,

And they went to England,

And this is how we dress when something sad happens.

And this is the end of the room

And this parade? Who is it really for?

And this sofa and these two chairs,

And those bagpipers from Scotland we just had.

And those who want power in bed.

And told him to wash in the Pool of Siloam.

And what about Abraham Lincoln?

And what about this house?

And what exactly will they do?

And when you come to that horrible,

And will to the best of my ability...

And will to the best of my ability...

And with that, he placed mud on his eyes

And yet, every night, when I climb into bed,

And yet, I'm not burying you today.

And yet, in the days after,

And you were a mother to all of us,

And you?

And you're ridiculous. And I let myself believe it.

And, for whatever it's worth, I thought you were excellent.

Anyone... Anyone being jealous of me.

Apparently even State's discouraging

Arabella in the womb.

Are all the pieces

Are the children awake?

Are they waiting?

Are you afraid I'm about to cry again?

Are you all right? It's Larry.

Are you giving me professional advice?

Are you ready to go?

Are you saying it was a mistake?

Are you suggesting I throw a party?

As a place of profound legacy.

As I said, Mrs. Kennedy,

As seen from its South Lawn.

Asshole couldn't wait,

At least four properties in Georgetown.

At least people can see for their own eyes.

At the base of that hill.

At the Capitol,

At the end of the tour.

At the funeral?

Austria, the Chancellor.

Averell Harriman owns

Because anything the First Lady does

Because he thought she spent too much money.

Because I never said that.

Because I'm here with you.

Because something very sad has happened.

Because then I was having a baby,

Because we do.

Before the funeral,

Before we land?

Before we look at any of the changes you've made...

Better?

Between the government and the arts?

Between what people believe and what I know to be real.

Bobby, it's our last chance.

Bobby, please tell them I want the books on Lincoln.

Bobby, watch your mouth.

Bobby!

Bobby?

Bobby.

Born to wealth and privilege,

Bring us much more intimately in contact

Bulgaria, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.

But a procession is insane.

But after, I realized that all the pageantry,

But balked at buying a beautiful painting.

But because you've been chosen.

But because you've been chosen.

But Brookline is no place to bury a President.

But God, in his infinite wisdom,

But he can't.

But he could get caught up in it.

But he didn't win the Civil War, for instance.

But he had ideals.

But he was perfect for our country.

But he'd always come back to us,

But I am sure that the whole country would like to know

But I can assure you that it was a spectacle.

But I couldn't wear my sunglasses.

But I do seem to recall...

But I have to take into account his safety.

But I never thought it was vanity.

But I read about what you did in the papers,

But I think he does receive a stimulus from the knowledge

But I thought it was going well.

But I worried. After I married Jack.

But I'm sure that, uh, the readers would like to know

But Ike offered his.

But it won't always be this heavy.

But that won't happen to you.

But the cameras.

But the press is out front...

But then, when morning comes,

But there won't be another Camelot.

But thousands,

But we still don't know much about this Oswald.

But what about us?

But when we got to the hospital, it was...

But who actually were alive and were in these rooms.

But why am I wearing my party clothes?

But with you there is forgiveness,

But you do.

But you have your whole life ahead of you.

By the Reverend Henry Brown.

By who?

Can I look?

Can I say goodbye?

Can I send somebody to help you change

Can you tell me what size the bullet was?

Canada, it's the Prime Minister,

Caroline and John at his feet.

Caroline, are you ready, sweetheart?

Caroline, I need you to be a big girl.

Citizens, senators, congressmen,

Civil rights, the space program.

Come in.

Come in.

Come on.

Come.

Comes into the White House?

Compassion.

Conference with Secretary of Defense McNamara.

Considered to do more to shield them.

Could have had a career as a broadcaster.

Daddy had to go see your baby brother Patrick.

Daddy would come home if he could.

Daddy's not coming home.

Darling?

Darling. Come.

David B. Vaughan.

Decades from now,

Denmark, the Crown Prince George.

Departed the White House,

Desire, maybe.

Desires the best for his country.

Did you kill the President?

Did you tell them we'll need a horse drawn carriage?

Diplomats, officers,

Do not allow a pause in overseeing

Do what?

Do you believe you did him justice?

Do you have the latest list from the State Department?

Do you know what he did?

Do you know what I think of history?

Do you know what I wrote?

Do you know who James Garfield was?

Do you know who William McKinley was,

Do you think Lincoln's widow knew?

Does that make it true?

Don't be.

Don't let it be forgot,

Don't look at me like that.

Don't marry the President.

Don't misunderstand me.

Don't think for one second

Down the street next to Jack's body,

End up being more real than the men who stand beside us.

Even at a time of sorrow,

Even I'm starting to lose him.

Even the Soviet Foreign Minister.

Every quote out of Jack's mouth

Every soul on this planet does.

Every time I walk by this room,

Everyone knows my story.

Everyone will ride.

Everyone.

Everyone's spooked.

Everyone's thoughts are with you right now.

Everything will be held in storage

Exactly as you imagined it.

Exactly.

Excuse me, Mother. Jackie.

Excuse me?

Excuse me.

Famous life, famous death.

Father, are you listening?

Fatherless children are part of that.

Fine. I will settle for a story that's believable.

First thing I heard about it was when

For a more modest ceremony.

For artists, musicians, writers, poets...

For having created a crisis

For inspiration.

For Jack?

For Jack.

For letting us visit your official home.

For me, it is a deep...

For one brief, shining moment,

For the next hour, Mrs. John F. Kennedy

For the private living of the President and his family.

For the way he handled the missile crisis,

For the whole world to see.

For with the Lord is unfailing love.

From beginning to end.

From his two little children?

From Lincoln's time?

From our assets in Geneva.

From which much of your work on it is directed.

Fuck off, Jack.

General de Gaulle.

Get some of the heat off this plane. Thank you.

God isn't interested in stories.

Good day, Mrs. Kennedy.

Good.

Governor Connally was leaning back in his seat,

Had to sell all her furniture.

Had to sell all her furniture.

Had.

Hardly anything before 1902.

Hardly anything of the past in the house.

Has made changes,

Has made sure

Has shown a particular affinity

Have known it now for 60 years.

Have you read what they've been writing?

Have you started on the guest list for the burial?

Haven't we, Nancy?

Having his older brother die in battle,

He abolished slavery, ma'am.

He can do whatever he wants. We're leaving now.

He can't just be buried anywhere.

He deserves more.

He gets to knock it down.

He had the most wonderful expression on his face,

He has to go to heaven.

He looked puzzled.

He says Johnson wants to talk to the press.

He wants to address Congress.

He was made blind

He won the Civil War.

He wrote down every word.

He'd buy back our house for us in Georgetown.

He'd do anything that might bring you comfort.

He'll just be another oil portrait

He's been shot. He's been shot.

He's interested in the truth.

Hello. Excuse me.

Her brow furrows.

Her lips are drawn.

Here he comes out and down the hall again.

Here he comes, here he comes.

Here is how he changed.

Here is what the White House did to President Lincoln.

Here, let's turn this off.

Hey!

Hey.

Hiding all the time.

His beloved family.

His blood and his brains are in my lap.

His favorite was Camelot.

History is harsh.

Hmm? Plan the funeral or pack the furniture?

Hmm.

Holding his stomach with both hands.

Hooded, he was led rider less,

Hot, wild, like Mexico or Vienna.

Hours after watching their husband get murdered

How could I hate him?

How dare you keep that from me?

How dare you?

How do I do this?

How do you like your new office?

How we're going to handle the exit.

How would you write that?

However they want?

Huh.

Hunter green.

I always assumed that you did that for

I always have.

I believe that the characters we read about on the page

I came here looking for sympathy, Father.

I can assure you, not television.

I can feel Jack getting angry with this.

I can remember everything.

I can remember.

I can't.

I could have saved him.

I did it for the American people.

I did it for the American people.

I did like Dewey Circle,

I didn't do that program for me.

I didn't do that program for me.

I do solemnly swear...

I do solemnly swear...

I do solemnly swear...

I do.

I don't even have a home.

I don't even have things. I...

I don't give a damn anymore.

I don't have anywhere to go.

I don't have things.

I don't know.

I don't think any television cameras

I don't think it was a .38, was it?

I don't think of it so much as peaceful

I don't.

I don't... I don't know about that, Mrs. Kennedy.

I had to get to you, put myself between you,

I hardly remember anything after.

I hate to make changes really,

I have lived a blessed life.

I hope you have a good night, Mrs. Kennedy.

I just became a Kennedy.

I just can't have my President walking.

I just think that everything

I kept... All the problems that Adlai had...

I knew he was dead.

I know that it's hard to see it right now,

I know this is all delicate.

I know what you're looking for.

I know you think I'm some silly little debutante.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I lie awake at night, and all I can think is

I lost track, somewhere...

I love crowds.

I need to talk to him.

I need to talk to him.

I never wanted fame.

I picture him on that rocking chair in his office,

I pray to die.

I really don't know what this situation is about.

I remember when we won the election.

I said I've changed my mind.

I said you could have a career...

I seem to remember there being more to our vows.

I should have been a shop girl

I should have guessed

I should have known it was a gunshot.

I should have married an ordinary, lazy, ugly man.

I should have shielded him.

I shouldn't have pushed him so hard on Castro.

I shouldn't say these things.

I spoke to Johnson.

I think God is cruel.

I think maybe you should talk to a priest.

I think she needs water.

I think that most people would have...

I think you should just try it without it.

I thought it was another backfire.

I thought it'd be a nice surprise

I told everyone that I can't remember.

I told him to take the oath in Dallas.

I took them out the front door.

I tried to stop the bleeding,

I understand.

I used to make them smile.

I used to worry that you might be jealous of me.

I value my privacy.

I very nearly didn't go. What if I'd been here

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

I want all the details.

I want it closed so badly, Bobby.

I want to hear all the details.

I was First Lady of the United States.

I was just so happy that he could be proud.

I was scared for you. I still am.

I was telling you about,

I was ten yards back when I heard the first shot.

I was trying to keep the top of his head down.

I will go out the usual way. We all will.

I will.

I wish Jack...

I wish there were more we could do

I won't blame him.

I won't put people in danger on account of my vanity.

I wonder...

I would like them to come with me.

I would never put you and the children in danger.

I would never put you and the children in danger.

I would never put you at risk.

I wrote him a letter.

I...

I... I don't know.

I... I loved that house,

I'd prefer to discuss my faith with a priest.

I'll arrange it.

I'll have Sarge look into it.

I'll hold him off as long as I can,

I'll talk to her, but she makes the call.

I'm afraid if he refuses to march, others may follow.

I'm afraid it's required.

I'm guessing you won't allow me to write any of that.

I'm his wi... Whatever I am now.

I'm just trying to get to the truth.

I'm listening.

I'm not going to march tomorrow.

I'm not sure it can be for a head of state.

I'm not sure...

I'm not the First Lady anymore.

I'm only suggesting that you've, uh...

I'm only wondering if you ever

I'm reminded that on January 1st, 1863,

I'm scared, Nancy, I'm scared, I'm scared...

I'm sorry, Bobby.

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure he could loan out one of them.

I'm sure we have time.

I'm sure you can understand

I'm terribly sorry.

I've buried two children,

I've changed my mind.

I've come to discuss tomorrow.

I've read a great deal. More than people realize.

Ideals he could rally others to believe in.

Identity, beauty.

If he'd been killed for civil rights,

If I sell some of it back now,

If it were up to him,

If it's not... Just as long as it's the best.

If there's a heaven, then there's your God,

If they'll fit into our budget.

If we could get rid of the leaves in time.

If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins,

Imagine a little boy surrounded by all of this.

In a long, grand procession.

In fact, I don't think

In fact, nobody has said that to me yet.

In front of the whole world?

In heaven.

In service to his nation.

In the name of the Father,

In the name of the Father,

In the past, you see,

In the White House should be the best.

In this part of the house.

In what way?

Inform them that I will walk with Jack tomorrow.

Inside the emergency room,

Into the White House

Invites you to visit the President's House

Is all that keeps running through my mind.

Is going to bankrupt the federal government.

Is he inside me now?

Is that necessary?

Is that the sound of birds?

Is this a confession?

Is this all there is?

Is this because you and your husband

Is your faith helping you?

Isn't funny at all.

It changes everything.

It doesn't matter what you say.

It gives them strength.

It had to be some silly little Communist.

It has to be beautiful.

It is just enough for us.

It just seemed to me such a shame

It seemed bigger.

It seemed like something soldiers would use,

It seemed...

It was a funeral for

It was a sunny spring day.

It was bought by Mrs. Lincoln,

It was for me.

It was so overwhelming.

It was too much to ask that we grow old together,

It was where we lived when we first came here,

It wasn't for Jack or his legacy.

It will serve a definite purpose.

It's a nice room.

It's all that we have.

It's been just one week.

It's been reprinted all over the world.

It's being handled.

It's eight city blocks to St. Matthew's.

It's inevitable.

It's just the... It hasn't...

It's more important than all the rest.

It's not the same.

It's not true.

It's not worth it.

It's not worth risking people's lives.

It's perfect.

It's the access roads.

It's the strangest thing.

It's what made him what he was.

It's wonderful. This...

Jack and I hardly ever spent the night together.

Jack has his hand out,

Jack loved them. He saw them perform in Dublin last summer.

Jack said, he said we were going to nut country,

Jack warned me.

Jack was always getting better,

Jack wasn't naive.

Jack wasn't, of course.

Jack, can you hear me?

Jack! I love you, Jack!

Jackie, Jackie...

Jackie?

Jackie?

Jackie.

Jackie.

Jackie...

Jesus

Just before he'd answer,

Just before they'd ask him a question,

Just feel that way,

Just hug them and tell them it will be okay.

Just imagine, he was a little boy

Just in case I don't say exactly what I mean.

Just long enough to fall in love with him.

Just some of his friends were so crude.

Just to keep a roof over her head.

Just to let himself be tempted by the devil.

Keep going.

Keep it all in.

Killed while they were in office.

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

Krock and Merriman and all the rest?

Last far longer than people,

Leaving that house must have been very difficult.

Lee Oswald has been shot.

Lester B. Pearson.

Let me share with you a parable.

Let me take you, son.

Let them see what they've done.

Let your ears be attentive

Lincoln's funeral cortege

Lincoln's mount, Old Bob,

Lincoln's widow died destitute.

Lining these hallways.

Losing a president is like... It's like losing a father.

Lyndon just wants to move into the Oval.

Lyndon's people are claiming

Lyndon's people are right.

Make it more personal.

Make sure they make him look like himself.

Maybe I can put John and Caroline through school.

Maybe Jack will be remembered

Maybe someone would be kind enough to do it for me.

Maybe that's what they'll all believe now. Camelot.

Maybe.

Merriman is such a bitter man.

Minutes later, there was a hastily added

Mmm hmm.

Mmm hmm. Yeah.

Mommy, is it my birthday?

Mommy, where's Daddy?

Mommy, why are you dressed so funny?

More soldiers, more crying, more cameras!

More than watchmen wait for the morning.

More than we were expecting?

Most people don't have to make decisions like that,

Most writers want to be famous.

Mr. Collingwood.

Mr. Kennedy, we need to discuss the funeral, sir.

Mr. President.

Mr. President.

Mrs. John F. Kennedy,

Mrs. Kennedy and I will ride

Mrs. Kennedy has been showing us

Mrs. Kennedy is on her way down with the children.

Mrs. Kennedy was leaning over him.

Mrs. Kennedy, do you spend a great deal of time

Mrs. Kennedy, every First Lady

Mrs. Kennedy, I want to thank you

Mrs. Kennedy, this administration

Mrs. Kennedy, uh...

Mrs. Kennedy, you don't have to do this.

Mrs. Kennedy, you don't have to...

Mrs. Kennedy?

Mrs. Kennedy?

Mrs. Kennedy?

Mrs. Kennedy.

Mrs. Kennedy...

Mrs. Kennedy...

My brave girl.

My brother is going to be carried in a box.

My husband has so many meetings up here,

My husband was a great man.

My shoes are sticking in the mud.

My soul waits for the Lord

My! What a welcome!

Nancy said they wanted to share my grief,

Neither is this one. Nothing is ever mine.

Neither this man nor his parents sinned.

Next to them.

No one understands the pain he was in

No procession.

No,

No, I think it's lovely.

No, I was just hoping that if I walked

No, I will not sneak out the back door.

No, I'd say you're more likely to scream.

No, I'm fine as I am, thank you.

No, I'm not going anywhere.

No, I've not been charged with that.

No, it was, uh, Lincoln's Cabinet Room.

No, ma'am.

No, not now, obviously. But, no. Uh...

No, of course not.

No, only crass,

No, they're not lucky at all.

No, you never did anything to make me feel that way.

No.

No. No, I'm not.

No. You let Dave handle that.

Nobody had ever seen anything like that.

Nobody had ever seen anything like that.

Nobody has told me anything, except that I'm accused of...

Not another Camelot.

Not because you've sinned,

Not even that last night in Fort Worth.

Not ghosts and storybook legends,

Not hide.

Not to keep, anyway.

Not yet, dear.

Not.

Nothing.

Now suppose that you and your committee

Now that seems ridiculous,

Now, what's your basic plan?

O Israel, put your hope in the Lord,

O Lord, who could stand?

Objects and artifacts

Obviously you haven't felt that

Of course not. Don't be silly.

Of course you are.

Of course, I think anyone who comes

Of course, Mrs. Kennedy. We'll make sure of it.

Of course, now what am I left with?

Of course, there will be great progress.

Of course.

Of course.

Of living in close proximity to the people

Of that dress you wore in Vienna.

Of the man who brought them there.

Oh, Clint.

Oh, dear.

Oh, I raised every dime privately

Oh, I'll stay with you.

Oh, I'm just doing my job.

Oh, I'm so ashamed of myself.

Oh, I'm sure those people would love that.

Oh, John, John, John.

Oh, Lyndon.

Oh, no, of course not. I just, um...

Oh, stop it.

Oh, that's very kind of you.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. I have it right here.

On those silly knick knacks.

Once more. Mrs. Kennedy has expressed her desire

Once passed a blind beggar on the road,

One more campaign stop along the way to the grave?

One week before his assassination.

One year in office, wasting their money.

Only 600 tickets were allotted,

Only if there's something you regret.

Or a stenographer.

Or do you think that there's a relationship

Or in a tank for that matter,

Or maybe he'll be remembered

Or maybe what they use for deer hunting...

Or motion picture cameras have ever gone up there,

Or out riding in Virginia somewhere?

Or you simply stop searching.

Ordinary men banding together to fight for a better world.

Peaceful? I don't know.

People like to believe in fairy tales.

People need their history.

People see that little boy,

People who faced adversity and overcame it.

People will be watching.

People will remember your dignity and the majesty.

People won't stop asking until you do.

Perfect people can't change.

Perhaps Jack didn't have time to defeat Communism,

Present arms!

President Johnson met with Secretary of State Rusk.

President Johnson would like nothing more

Presidents will come and go,

Pretty much as Americans

Pretty soon

Prince Phillip.

Private concerts with artists, friends, drinking champagne

Progressed along Pennsylvania Avenue

Reading history.

Remember? Bill and I,

Returned to the White House,

Right now you are blind.

Right? Isn't that what we are?

Right. Okay. Uh...

Royalty. You make him sound like royalty.

Sadness.

Scream what?

See our children grow up.

Self indulgent people kill themselves.

Shall I take them downstairs to ride with Maud?

She auctioned it off, piece by piece,

She holds back her tears, but she can't hide her anger.

She lights yet another cigarette

She moved back to Illinois,

She wants them to always remember,

She'll be right down. I'm told any moment.

She's made in its interior.

She's taken them to the house in Georgetown.

Shining moment there was a Camelot.

Should anything...

Since our work started,

Sir,

Sit down.

Sit down.

Slow down.

So help me God.

So help me God.

So I let them.

So that the works of God can be revealed in you.

So that the works of God could be revealed in him.

So they can sit in here

So when you find a room like this,

So,

So, this will be your own version of what happened?

Sometimes he would walk into the desert alone,

Sorry, I'm just doing my job, ma'am.

Special Agent Hill.

Start the engines.

Still, he was a great father.

Stronger.

Suddenly they became wonderful.

Sure they will.

Take all the time you need.

Take comfort in those memories.

Than to fulfill your wishes,

Thank God I was with him.

Thank you so much for coming.

Thank you, Nancy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That are in this room,

That for one brief,

That freed four million people from slavery.

That he could be proud of me.

That he was then forced to solve.

That house was not mine.

That I exploited them?

That I just can't get into.

That I wanted to die.

That I'm going to let you publish that.

That if he wishes to ride in an armored car

That is different everyone seizes on.

That Jack wasn't perfect,

That Mrs. Lincoln sold.

That night, and every night since,

That night, before we moved the casket to the Capitol.

That program was my first glimpse

That seems very unlikely, Mrs. Kennedy.

That she's made has been to, uh,

That there are no answers.

That tour of the White House

That was a beautiful mass.

That we spent on that restoration.

That we'd build a monument to her husband?

That you can help, I like to do that.

That you did a couple of years ago for CBS,

That you did a couple of years ago for CBS,

That you have the world on puppet strings.

That you've brought life to a cold house before.

That your children have no use for you.

That, uh, this is the part of the White House

That's a long way to be strolling through crowds.

That's a terrible thing to say.

That's a terrible, terrible thing to say.

That's kind of you, Bill.

That's more like it.

That's no way to be remembered.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right. This piano was designed by Franklin Roosevelt

That's so complicated.

That's too low.

That's what Camelot is about.

That's what you came here for, isn't it?

That's why I'm approaching you.

That's why we're here, isn't it?

That's why you need to show them what you've done.

The affairs of defense and foreign policy.

The Attorney General relayed to me your desire

The back way.

The Black Watch Pipers.

The Black Watch.

The Black Watch. That's right.

The casket will be closed, won't it?

The ceremony at the Capitol...

The children are ready.

The country couldn't endure another blow

The darkness may never go away,

The day you moved the casket to the Capitol,

The dignitaries planning to attend the funeral.

The entire country watched the funeral

The exit?

The fact that we don't understand him

The family plot.

The first bullet. Boom.

The harsh facts of the Cold War

The head of a miles long procession

The Johnsons have been so generous to me.

The King of Belgium.

The law, Mrs. Kennedy.

The man would spend whatever it took for votes,

The more I read, the more I wonder...

The most famous one, of course, is the Lincoln bed.

The musical?

The newspaper reporters in the hall...

The parties that you threw at the White House,

The President of the United States.

The President was lying motionless in the car.

The President will join you in the Monroe Room

The President, and the shooter.

The scale of it. I mean, he was a great president,

The Secret Service still has their concerns.

The Son, and the Holy Spirit...

The Son, and the Holy Spirit...

The strong man with the arched eyebrow.

The sun was strong in our faces,

The third option is just over there,

The Trumans at Blair House.

The what?

The world's gone mad.

Their routine shouldn't be disrupted.

Then at least it would have meant something.

Then boom.

Then they walked all the way to St. Matthew's

Then who is it up to, Mr. Valenti?

There are two kinds of women.

There comes a time in man's search for meaning,

There has to be a day one.

There is Lee Oswald.

There may be co conspirators.

There seems little doubt that McNamara

There should be more horses,

There was a brief crisis about him not having a driver,

There was a...

There was blood everywhere.

There were so many pieces.

There were wanted posters everywhere.

There will be other great presidents.

There will be three short speeches or...

There you go, spending all that money

There'd been the biggest motorcade from the airport.

There's a car waiting on the tarmac

There's a great deal of classified intelligence

There's also the matter of the Oval.

There's dozens of names.

There's gonna be 10,000 people here.

There's no time.

There's one last thing.

There's Paul Hoffman, Managing Director,

There's press at Andrews.

There's the prisoner.

Therefore you are feared.

These past few days, that's the story.

These people can get to anyone.

They can't expect us to move immediately, can they?

They could sell it or throw it out.

They murdered him inside the jail.

They need to know that real men actually lived here.

They should be there to say goodbye to him.

They think I'm a fool.

They think it's a security risk.

They think so.

They told me to come up.

They want a show of grief.

They want to hear from you.

They were both U.S. presidents

They were sold in that Lincoln sale

They... They handed me yellow roses.

They'll let you parade through the streets.

They'll remember you.

They're already asking about funeral arrangements.

They're mixed up with all the others.

They're not lucky.

They're playing in Caroline's room.

They're waiting for us at Arlington.

They're with Maud.

They're worried about an outdoor procession.

Third youngest of the 29 wives to live in the White House.

This article will bring you a great deal of attention.

This is making us look like a bunch of goddamn barbarians.

This is obviously the room

This is probably the greatest treasure in this room.

This is the East Room,

This is the White House

This is where we evaluate all the finds,

This man or his parents, that he should be born blind?

This piano brings to mind

This staircase goes up to the second floor,

This? It's awfully cold.

This? It's awfully cold.

Those kids are so lucky to have you.

Those pictures are being broadcast

Those pictures should record the truth.

Those were our happiest years.

Those who want power in the world,

Thousands lined the streets and rooftops,

Throughout the remainder of the day

Thy Lord sacrificed his only son...

To accommodate your wishes.

To all our funeral guests when they land?

To be shelved away.

To Dallas, Texas, and Tom Pettit.

To every corner of the world.

To have any perspective from that vantage point.

To impart a sense of America's greatness.

To my cry for mercy.

To re inter the bodies of the two children they lost

To rest alongside their father.

To take you and Mrs. Kennedy to Bethesda.

To talk about what happened?

To the hospital for the autopsy.

To the White House as a President, uh,

Tomorrow we're expecting close to 100 Heads of State.

Tomorrow...

Turn off the lights, and stare into the dark,

Turn the television off!

Two heartbroken,

Uh, not exactly birds.

Uh, yes, they are.

Uh...

Um, from the United Nations,

Um, Mr. Valenti.

Um, she bought a lot of furniture for this house,

Unavoidable realization,

Understood? I'll tell Jackie when the time is right.

Unless you are asking my permission.

Until you decide where to settle.

Valenti wants to know

Very nice to meet you.

Vietnam. Now, Johnson gets to handle Vietnam.

Waited without a word.

Was d****d in a black blanket with white trim and tassels.

Was either Greek or Roman.

Was he in the bullet that killed Jack?

Was it that Oswald?

Was this a bedroom during Lincoln's time?

Watch your step.

Watching won't either.

We all live on far after our deaths.

We all wake up and make a pot of coffee.

We all want to follow her lead,

We aren't most people.

We can't possibly accommodate all these people at Brookline.

We could have done so much.

We don't have to worry about that anymore.

We don't know yet.

We don't want Patrick to get lonely, do we?

We got to get a handle on this thing.

We had this old Victrola.

We have television now.

We have to march with him.

We have to march with Jack.

We installed it while you were away.

We must get this right, Bill.

We must get this right.

We need to have the Irish cadets.

We receive hundreds of letters every day.

We teed it up for him.

We will have a procession,

We'd listen to a couple records.

We'll motorcade to the Cathedral.

We'll need to proceed directly

We'll sort that all out later.

We're doing just fine.

We're just... We're just the beautiful people?

We're nearly done here.

We're ridiculous. Look at you.

We're running a bed and breakfast.

We're so proud to call it home.

We're so proud to call it home.

We've been together a long time,

We've found beds for almost all the family.

We've intercepted a threat against General de Gaulle

Welcome to Arlington, Mrs. Kennedy.

Welcome to Dallas, darling.

Welcome to The People's House.

Welcome to the White House.

Welcome to the White House.

Well, as I'm sure you know,

Well, even if we could resume the arrangements,

Well, for royalty you need tradition.

Well, he was a president.

Well, he's going to come in, uh...

Well, I assume Jack will be buried with the rest of us.

Well, I guess it has to start somewhere, right?

Well, I really don't have one.

Well, I think the great effort

Well, I've grown accustomed to a great divide

Well, if they don't want it...

Well, Mrs., uh...

Well, now you're getting into trouble.

Well, regardless of what happens,

Well, that's a funny game he plays,

Well, that's what I'm saying.

Well, the problem there isn't just the leaves.

Well, what are you insinuating,

Well, you could light a fire, invite people over.

Well, your children were on full display

Were being painted.

Were to acquire some of the things

What an awful way to begin your presidency.

What did I do to deserve that?

What did the bullet sound like?

What did we accomplish, huh?

What did we truly accomplish?

What did you say?

What do they call themselves, The Birch Society?

What do you remember? Will you tell me everything?

What do you say to those who say he didn't deserve it?

What do you think of the changes that she's made?

What do you think, Ken?

What does an autopsy entail? I want you to explain to me.

What happens when the next President's wife

What he did?

What it's like to be a member of your family?

What kind of God takes a father

What was performance.

What was real.

What was real.

What were they called, Kenny?

What will you do now?

What you're going to do next.

What you've done in this house matters.

What, will they slice him open?

What?

What?

What?

What's that called, the caliber?

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with you?

When he saw what we were spending, he said,

When it collided with my husband's skull.

When men see me now, what do you think they feel?

When one realizes

When our rooms at the other end of the hall

When something is written down,

When we arrive, we'll be exiting the rear of the plane.

When we came here to find

When we had the Shakespeare players.

When we land, Mrs. Kennedy,

When will Jack join us?

Whenever Mrs. Kennedy is ready.

Where are the children?

Where are we going?

Where Pablo Casals played for us,

Where the President's body will lie in state

Where we had a portable stage built,

Where you have the musical affairs.

Which I know are reserved

Which made her husband rather cross

Who are legendary,

Who knows if he would have cared?

Who was it?

Why are you doing this, Mrs. Kennedy?

Why are you really here?

Why do we bother?

Why don't you try, The People's House?

Why not?

Why the rear?

Why, Thank God?

Why?

Will stay on under Mr. Johnson.

Will those ideals live on?

Will you look at me?

Will you read them to me?

Willing to sacrifice everything for his ideals

With all due respect,

With all due respect,

With all his empty promises.

With all the men who lived here.

With baby carriages going by them.

With Caroline and John.

With Jack's face on them.

With scarlet fever in bed,

With the casket in the ambulance.

With the casket.

With the eagle support.

Witnesses said the First Lady, splattered with blood,

Women have endured far worse for far less.

Won't God let me be with my husband?

Would you like to write this down?

Would you mind getting a message

Yeah, Camelot. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, and there should have been more of them.

Yes, I think so.

Yes, I understand.

Yes, I'm sure that's right.

Yes, it's attic and cellar all in one.

Yes, Mrs. Kennedy.

Yes, of course you can, my love.

Yes, of course. Of course he is.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. The Irish cadets, for the funeral.

Yes. Yes, of course.

You accept it or you kill yourself.

You and the Johnsons have already done so much.

You and your brother.

You can be brave, right? You can be a soldier?

You can call me Jackie.

You can tell them I'm ready to leave,

You can't do that, Bobby.

You can't know that!

You could have had a career as a broadcaster, I'm sure.

You did this morning. You will again tomorrow.

You don't know anything.

You don't write very legibly, do you?

You got that part, right?

You had no right! The children?

You had to make any great changes in here.

You know, every night before bed,

You know, I used to be a reporter myself once.

You know, I was jealous.

You know, that first night Bob McNamara said

You know, that's what Jack called all this.

You know?

You know?

You left your mark on this country, Mrs. Kennedy.

You look beautiful. Go.

You remember Governor and Mrs. Connally.

You say that you pray every night to die.

You should prepare yourself,

You should take the children and disappear.

You tell them we're calling it off.

You think you all control everything,

You understand that I will be editing this conversation?

You understand?

You want me to describe the sound the bullet made

You want to be famous?

You were at the center of it all, Mrs. Kennedy,

You were right earlier.

You wish only to be with your husband.

You won't go anywhere?

You wonder?

You, the President... President Johnson, that is.

You'll be great.

You'll have to share something personal, eventually.

You'll need to pare it down, dear.

You're not a man of the cloth, are you?

You're not to speak a word of this.

You're still a young woman, Mrs. Kennedy.

Your husband drove cars, he didn't ride horses.

Your husband loved you, Mrs. Kennedy. I'm sure of it.

Your little vanity project

1861.

1865.

...and defend... ...and defend...

...preserve, protect... ...preserve, protect...

Are you... This is all insanity!

At Fort Worth. In Houston. I know.

Bobby. Because what did we...

Do you think I should? I...

I understand. Do you?

I'll see to it. What do they know?

Jack was winning him over. Shh. I know.

Listen to me. You don't protect me anymore.

Must be the ocean. Hmm.

Nancy? Yes?

Stay close. Of course.

That's not fair... Caroline and John are all I have left,

That's what reporters do. Oh, the truth.

Then in Dallas... I know.

There's a man with a gun. Jesus Christ.

Very poised. Oh, thank you.

We got to get involved. Yes, sir.

You need some rest. Oh.

You ready? Of course.

Your President? My President.

...that cannot be weighed.

...that I will faithfully execute...

...that I will faithfully execute...

...the Constitution of the United States.

...the Constitution of the United States.

...the office of President of the United States.

...the office of President of the United States.

'Cause I needed to talk.

'cause that's where you live.
