The Assassination of Richard Nixon Page #3

But this guy's your boss.

If he wants to be an a**hole,|you might just have to let him do.

- But, Bonny...|- There's no "but," Sam.

- What about my rights?|- You've got a right to be mad, sure.

Exactly. That's what I'm saying, partner.|That's all I'm saying.

Sam, it's a job.

This is what I mean.|A man doesn't give up his rights at a job.

A man doesn't give up his rights anywhere.|You of all people should know that.

What should I know? 'Cause I'm black,|I should mouth off to my boss?

All this rights sh*t. Rights this, rights that.

Rights, my ass. It's a job.

You got a right to pay your bills,|pay for your kids.

I'm just saying you can't keep quitting jobs.

We all gotta work somehow.

Come on. You're a salesman, right?

Like you do.

Explain this to me, Mr. Bernstein.

All I want|is a little piece of the American Dream.

Like my father and his father.

Is that too much to expect?

Hey, Tuffer. Hey, boy.

You miss me, don't you?

Of course you miss me.

This is a good country, Maestro.|Filled with good people.

But what good is good...

in times like these?

I've been trying to call.

Double Scotch, Scotch and soda,|double bourbon.

It's not a good time, Sam.

Oh, no. I know. I just came to say hi.

- You want to see a menu?|- Yes, please.

- Here you go. I'll be right back.|- Thank you.

...great change, at the same time.

One change is defense spending|is on the way down now.

For the first time in 20 years,|the Federal government is spending more...

That's too much salt.

I know. Sorry.

How is it?

It is good. Remember Sam Jr.|Used to call these "mashapotos"?

That's right. Is everything okay at work?

Top of the charts. Top of the sales board.

I'm doing very well.

That's great.

Maybe I'll be driving a Cadillac soon.

He was a friend of yours?

Who?

The one with the Cadillac.|I drove by last night.

- Jesus, are you spying on me?|- No.

What you doing|lurking around the house for?

I wasn't lurking, Marie. I just...

You told me to call.|I called and nobody answered, so...

I said, try me, okay?

You know what?|I don't want to talk about this.

I respect that.

I just want you to know|I'm not seeing anyone.

Okay, that's your business.

It's important to me that you know that.

Fine. Now I know.

Table four wants their check.

I'm sorry. Okay? I didn't mean...

Can I call you later?

Look, if I get off at a decent hour,|I'll call you.

- All right?|- All right.

Mr. Bernstein, sir, there are people|who sit and wait their lives away...

on the promise of a dream|that will not come.

They are the sheep.

We have a great deal to be thankful for|as Americans tonight.

You've chosen El Dorado,|with front wheel drive. It's our most...
