Paul Benjamin credited as playing...
Senator David Lee Hart
- Friday Foster: I see that I'm going to be getting into something I did not expect.
- Sen. David Lee Hart: What did you expect?
- Friday Foster: You know what I expected? I expected you to be a rat; but, you're different.
- Sen. David Lee Hart: Baby, you forget I'm straight off the block.
- Friday Foster: I know, that's what cancelled my theory. You treat a person like a person - and a woman like a woman.
- Sen. David Lee Hart: I try to treat a lady - like a lady.
- Friday Foster: What are you doing here?
- Sen. David Lee Hart: What would I be doing here?
- Noble Franklin: He's our leader. The whole Unity concept is his.
- Friday Foster: But, but the walls...
- Sen. David Lee Hart: The walls of prejudice, of discrimination, of misunderstanding and hate. Every important black leader in the country is here today. We are acting together - as one - for the first time!
- Sen. David Lee Hart: Reverend Franklin not only has a way with prayer, but, beautiful women as well.
- Sen. David Lee Hart: Will you believe me? Trust me?
- Friday Foster: Then you can start trusting me. You can tell me what the hell is going on.
- Sen. David Lee Hart: Okay. Find yourself a certain Mr. Blake Tarr and it will all come as clear as Monday's wash.
- Sen. David Lee Hart: After one divorce and 12 years in Washington, one gets to know his people. More brandy?
- Clorils Boston: More brandy and I might lose all my inhibitions, maybe worse. Look what happened to Cloris.
- Sen. David Lee Hart: Cloris was only a pal, just a friend. So, we made it a few times; but, our relationship was only physical.
- Friday Foster: Why would he plan his own assassination?
- Sen. David Lee Hart: It's all part of a big power play - to make you believe it's something it isn't.
- Friday Foster: And what's your power play? Are you something you're not too?
- [Sen. Hart moves in for a long kiss]
- Friday Foster: Now, what will all the gossips say?
- Sen. David Lee Hart: Oh, they will probably say that he made love to one of the most beautiful women DC has ever seen.
- Friday Foster: You're very sure of yourself, aren't you?
- Sen. David Lee Hart: Are you?
- Friday Foster: Does this make any sense to you?
- Sen. David Lee Hart: Suppose you want to destroy Black Power? What other way than to get all of our leaders together in one place and wipe them out?
- Friday Foster: But, I saw blacks with the whites! I saw them!
- Sen. David Lee Hart: Hell, some niggers will do anything for a dollar.
