Bobby
I am announcing today
my candidacy
for the presidency
of the United States.
I do not run for the presidency
merely to oppose any man,
but to propose new policies.
I run because I am convinced
that this country is
on a perilous course
and because I have
such strong feelings
about what must be done,
and I feel that I'm obliged
to do all that I can.
CROWD Hell, no, we
won't go! Hell, no, we won't go!
There's a time when
the operation of the machine
becomes so odious...
I shall not seek
and I will not accept
the nomination of my party
for another term
as your president.
...some very sad news
for all of you,
and, I think, uh, sad news
for all of our fellow citizens
and people who love peace
all over the world,
and that is that, uh,
Martin Luther King was shot
and was killed tonight
in Memphis, Tennessee.
We're gonna say to the whole
damn government:
"Stick 'em up, mother. "
Bobby Kennedy's the only
white man in America I trust.
If I have reason to believe
that there's gonna be a riot
started, and somebody tells me
that there's gonna be trouble
if you don't stop them,
then it's my duty to stop them.
Then you go out
and arrest them?
Oh, absolutely.
How can you go arrest somebody
if they haven't
violated the law?
They're ready
to violate the law.
In other words...
Could I suggest
in the luncheon period of time
that the sheriff
and the district attorney
read the Constitution
of the United States?
I don't want to be part
of the United States,
I don't want to be part
of the American people,
and have them write of us
as they wrote of Rome:
"They made a desert,
and they called it peace. "
Your generation,
this generation,
cannot afford to waste
its substance and its hope
in the struggles of the past.
is a world
to be helped and improved
and made safe
for the welfare of mankind.
Do we know anything yet?
We got men on the sixth floor
going from room to room.
You the manager?
Paul Ebbers.
And the bungalows?
We're checking them now.
WOMAN:
Roger that.
- It's a false alarm.
- False alarm.
I wouldn't want to be you today.
Occupational hazard.
We'll open the cafe.
You or your men want
coffee, a hot breakfast,
- it's on the house.
- Thanks.
It'll take us a little while
to wrap this up,
but I'll let the boys know.
We're gonna need to
open a lane here for traffic.
False alarm.
Yeah. I didn't know
you were in this early.
Are you kidding?
Have you seen my schedule
for today?
Hey, Paul.
What the heck's going on here?
There's a hook and ladder
keeping me
from my first cup of coffee
and crosswords.
Don't you have a home, John?
Well, this is my home,
you know that.
Retirement doesn't
suit you, does it?
No, sir.
This is not the muscle tone
of a retired man.
If it were up to me,
John, you'd still be
in uniform, still at that door.
Oh, that's great. Hold it.
Okay, one more.
Everybody smile.
Thank you.
You guys can put out
my fire anytime.
And how are you, my baby?
We're gonna go back up
to bed, aren't we?
Ladies and gentlemen,
if I may have your attention,
please, ladies and gentlemen.
We are very sorry.
This has been a false alarm.
Yes. Uh...
you are free to return
to your rooms at this time
or join us in one of our cafes
for a complimentary breakfast.
And once again,
on behalf of the...
Jack?
Welcome to Los Angeles.
Sir.
The polls are open
in South Dakota, fellas.
Let's go.
How long has it been
since you've slept?
How long has it been
since you've slept?
We bring home California,
we'll all sleep
