2 Dallas, Texas. do solemnly swear... That will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God.

3 Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution... Pretty heavy burden to be saddled with, Mister President. suppose the real question is what happens down the road when that paper runs contrary to your... other concerns. But either way... congratulations, sir. Well, thank you, son. As for things on our end, we've already All the torii performed all the have been shut down, triage we deemed isolating the ascendant necessary... Russian xenocracy, we've quarantined the Cuban infection, and we're planning the creation of an integrated Manhattan Projects-C.I.A. action team. If there is a concern, suppose the hybrid Oswald would be it. Nope. Taken care of. Then there you go, Mister President... So much for loose ends.

4 Good, Leslie. Good. 'll tell you, boys... 'm not one for mission statements or grandstandin' in general, but think we three find ourselves with a fairly opportune situation, and what want to know is... What's next? m not sure, sir... You've been fully briefed on all the ongoing projects, and with the additional burden that the Russians represent, 'm not sure we have the capacity for more. And you, General westmoreland? Oh... 've got unfinished business on the 17th parallel. Yeah. We're gonna need somethin' more than that...

5 Now, admit, 'm new to all this... secret handshake, hidden society stuff, but it seems to me that, while you certainly cannot be accused of small ideas... do think you have a tendency to circumnavigate what should be a straight-line problem. You boys really want to remake the world? Well, then... We should just take it over.
