It would be a profound mistake to
allow our boys
to communicate with the Soviets on the moon...
...Mr. President.
I, uh...
certainly understand your point of view, and...
I appreciate the advice...
but that's not really the purpose of my call.
I want to let you know...
that I've decided to pardon you
for all crimes that you may have committed
in connection with the Watergate break-in.
You what?
I've decided it's in the best interest of the nation
not to prosecute former political opponents
in the criminal justice system.
Don't get on your high horse with me.
I don't want your fucking pardon.
I don't need your permission, Dick.
It's a done deal.
You better watch yourself, Teddy.
Maybe spend a little less time in
Palm Beach.
