Helen O'Donnell
- Helen O'Donnell: And while you're under a rock somewhere with the President, what am I supposed to do with our five children, Kenny?
- Kenny O'Donnell: Honey, we're not going to let it come to that, I promise. Jack and Bobby, they're smart guys.
- Helen O'Donnell: You're smart, too.
- Kenny O'Donnell: Not like them.
- Kenny O'Donnell: [Kenny has come home late at night and found his wife awake in the kitchen] Hi.
- Helen O'Donnell: Hi... You look old, O'Donnell.
- Kenny O'Donnell: You don't.
- Helen O'Donnell: It's 2:30 in the morning - are you flirting with me?
- Kenny O'Donnell: We got a back-channel communication from Khruschev this evening, feeling us out about a deal. He confirmed it, just a little while ago in a letter.
- Helen O'Donnell: Thank god.
- Kenny O'Donnell: Jack kicked us out of his house for the night.
- Helen O'Donnell: Darn it. For a second there, I thought you'd been fired.
- Kenny O'Donnell: No such luck... I'm driving home, there was something I wanted to tell you.
- [the red phone begins ringing and Kenny steps toward it]
- Helen O'Donnell: Finish that thought.
- Kenny O'Donnell: [answers the phone]
