History is only the prologue.

As long as we fight for our beliefs, this country remains ours. Seeking the truth is still our most important life value. If the truth has been murdered by the government and the people are no longer respected, then this place is not the country where we were born, and certainly not the country I will stay with for life. We, the people, the jury system sitting in judgment on Clay Shaw represent the hope of humanity against government power. In discharging your duty to bring a first conviction against Clay Shaw, ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country. Do not forget your dying king. Show this world this is still a government of the people, for the people and by the people.Nothing, as long as you live, will ever be more important. The hope of fighting the government is not to ask what this country can do for you, but what you can do for this country. Don't forget your dead king. This government is still a government owned by the people, ruled by the people, and enjoyed by the people. As long as we are still alive, nothing is more important than this. It's all up to you.

JFK quotes

  • Man at Firing Range: [Approaches Lee Harvey Oswald after Lee shoots at his target] I didn't pay two bits for a target just to have someone else shoot at it!

    Oswald Imposter: Hey, I'm sorry buddy- I thought I was, uh, shooting at that son-of-a-bitch Kennedy.

    [Chuckles]

  • Jim Garrison: I don't, I can't... I can't believe they killed him because he wanted to change things. In our time. In our country.

    X: Well they've been doing it all through history. Kings are killed, Mr. Garrison, politics is power, nothing more! Oh, don't take my word for it, don't believe me. Do your own work, your own thinking.

    Jim Garrison: I can't. The size of this is... beyond me. Testify?

    X: Me?

    Jim Garrison: Testify.

    X: Ha ha. No chance in hell. No, I'd be arrested and gagged, maybe sent to an institution, maybe worse, you too. Now I can give you the background, but you have to find the foreground, the little things. Keep digging. Remember, you're the only person to bring a trial in the murder of John Kennedy. That's important, it's historic.

    Jim Garrison: I haven't yet. I don't have much of a case.

    X: You don't have a choice anymore. You've become a significant threat to the national security structure. They would have killed you already but you got a lot of light on you. Instead they're trying to destroy your credibility. They already have in many circles in this town. Be honest, your only chance is to come up with a case. Something, anything. Make arrests, stir the shit storm, hope to reach a point of critical mass that'll start a chain reaction of people coming forward, then the government will crack. Remember, fundamentally, people are suckers for the truth - and the truth is on your side, Bubba. I just hope you get a break.
