KENNY Yeah? BOBBY (O.S.) Kenny. It's over. EXT. ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH - DAY THE CHURCH BELLS TOLL2 in raucous3 celebration. Kenny, Helen and the five O'DONNELL KIDS join the throng4 packing through the doors to the church. They're all smiling except Kenny who searches fro faces in the CROWD. And then he spots Bobby with his FAMILY. Bobby grins at him. That makes Kenny grin back. RADIO MOSCOW (O.S.) This is Radio Moscow. Moscow calling. But Kenny keeps looking. RADIO MOSCOW (O.S.) (CONT'D) The following statement is the text of a letter from General Secretary Khruschev to President Kennedy. Kenny spots him emerging from the Presidential limo, surrounded by Secret Service Agents - John Kennedy. His FAMILY also is with him. RADIO MOSCOW (O.S.) (CONT'D) ...I regard with respect and trust the statement you made in your message of 27 October 1962 that there would be no attack, no invasion of Cuba, and not only the part of the United States, but also on the part of the Western Hemisphere, as you said in your same message. Then the motives5 which induced us to render assistance of such a kind to Cuba disappear... Kennedy, greeting well-wishers, a brilliant smile on his face, is carried through the crowd toward Kenny and the doors of the church. RADIO MOSCOW (O.S.) (CONT'D) ...it is for this reason that we have instructed our officers - these missiles, as I already informed you are in the hands of Soviet6 officers to take appropriate measures to discontinue construction, dismantle7 them, and return them to the Soviet Union. EXT. MISSILE SITE - CUBA - DAY the base has been half-dismantled over night. Fuel trucks pull away, lumping down the makeshift dirt road. Across the site missiles are lowered, their nose cones8 being removed. A MISSILE on its transporter, Technicians crawling all over it, COVERING IT with a tarp. A massive Soviet Helicopter's rotors thunder as it lifts off, cargo9 crates10 swaying under it, a CLOUD OF DUST FROM ITS WASH FILLING THE SCREEN, WIPING US TO: INT. CABINET ROOM - DAY EXCOM laughing, celebrating, half-drunk already this Sunday morning. The President shushes the group. THE PRESIDENT Hey! Hey. Okay, that's enough. The group quiets down. The Presidents stares at them, calm, firm. They sober up quickly. Kenny listens, expectant. THE PRESIDENT (CONT'D) I don't want any gloating. This is not a victory over the Soviets11. It's a victory with the Soviets. (beat) I want everyone to remember that. INT. WEST WING HALLWAY - DAY Kenny rounds a corner. McNamara, Bundy and McCone are talking, excited, hushed, standing12 to one side, down the hall. Kenny eyes them as he draws closer, and then they notice he's approaching. Bundy nods him over, confidential13. BUNDY We've been talking. We can play this big in '64. It's the foreign policy Kenny sickens. He tries to listen, but it all begins to BUNDY (CONT'D) I think we can ride it all the way home next election. Bet you're way ahead of us, eh? Bundy slaps Kenny on the back. Kenny is pale. Is what they're saying possible? But Bundy and McCone are too wrapped up in their schemes to notice Kenny's distress16. MCCONE We've ordered crash reassessment of our major geopolitical hotspots. We've got a lot of new clout17, and we can run the table on the Soviets. Middle East, Southeast Asia... And Kenny, sad, moved beyond all pity and loathing18, realizes it is possible. They haven't gotten it. He is speechless, helplessly shaking his head. Bundy finally sees something isn't right with him. MCNAMARA What's wrong, O'Donnell? Kenny can't speak. Can't find the words. But tongue-tied finally manages: KENNY Don't you understand? McNamara and Bundy look at him funny. BUNDY Understand what? Kenny just looks at them, eyes filled with sorrow. They begin to feel uncomfortable. KENNY The sun came up today. BUNDY Yeah. KENNY It shouldn't have. But it did. MCCONE We were lucky we were able to keep it under control. Kenny looks away, unable to bear it. KENNY Every day the sun comes up... says something about us. BUNDY Says what, Kenny? Kenny looks back at them. KENNY Something... amazing. They just stare at him. And with secret smiles, superior smiles, they nod. MCNAMARA Sure, Ken1. I understand. Feels good to win, doesn't it? But they don't understand, and together turn away. BUNDY See you later, Kenny. Kenny watches them, heads bowed in discussion, disappear into the labyrinth19 of the West Wing. Kenny turns his back on them. INT. PRESIDENT'S BEDROOM - DAY The President stands at his mirror, tying a bow tie to a tux for some Sunday special event. Kenny gathers up his folder20 from nearby breakfast table. Kenny meets the President's gaze in the mirror, and the two men know they have been to the same mountaintop. THE PRESIDENT Kenny... 点击收听单词发音
