Good day or bad, whether we agree or disagree, we never miss a lunch or a dinner together. Isn’t this a three-quotes love letter!
Time is good or bad, and we agree or disagree. We all have lunch and dinner together. (Suddenly feel that I don’t know how to translate such a touching words) Ca
n’t help but add a narration: Since then, the prince and the knight have lived happily together!

Closer to home, looking up the information of the two on the wiki, Hoover is 5 years older than Tolson. Tolson joined the FBI in 1927 and officially served as Hoover’s deputy in 1930 until Hoover’s death in 1972. He retired from the FBI two weeks later. Afterwards, his health deteriorated and he died in 1975. Both are unmarried for life. Extract a few words from the wiki:
Hoover bequeathed his estate to Tolson, who moved into the house. He accepted the American flag that draped Hoover's casket. Tolson is buried a few yards away from Hoover in the Congressional Cemetery.
Tolson inherited Hu The Buddha’s family properties were moved to his old house during his lifetime, and the Stars and Stripes draped on Hoover’s coffin during the state funeral ceremonies were collected. Tolson was buried next to Hoover after his death.
They eat with meals during life and sleep with them after death. This is not an idol drama or a novel, but the true story of the most legendary director and deputy director in FBI history.

    Zhongyong's evaluation is also very normal. Because he didn't pay much attention to writing, all kinds of events were piled up together. The focus is on Hoover’s character shaping, hypocrisy, cowardice, and desire for control, but how many people care about Hoover? Especially the super ugly old dress. The wonderful part is the following narrative tricks, which are misleading from the first person. The poor man who always lives in the shadow of his mother.

    The director, acting, and technical department (except makeup) are all in good condition, but unfortunately they were all brought back by this long-winded mother-in-law and mother's unfocused script.

J. Edgar quotes

  • [J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson discuss over dinner about the first time they ever met]

    Clyde Tolson: Edgar... you can lie to everyone else, the whole world, for you own sake... and for the sake of the bureau, but you cannot lie to me.

    J. Edgar Hoover: I should've never given you your job, Clyde. You know that? You weren't even qualified. You remember the day you came in for your interview.

    Clyde Tolson: I do.

    J. Edgar Hoover: You walked into my office and you fixed my window, you picked up my handkerchief. You handed it to me. You remember why I was sweating, Clyde?

    Clyde Tolson: It's because you were exercising.

    J. Edgar Hoover: No, I was... I was sweating because I... I knew at that very moment...

    [Clyde hands Hoover his handkerchief from the dinner table]

    J. Edgar Hoover: ... I knew at that very moment that I... I needed you. And I've never needed anyone else in my entire life. Not like that. So I began to perspire.

    Clyde Tolson: I know.

    Clyde Tolson: [Edgar grabs for his stomach and gasps] Edgar, are you all right?

    J. Edgar Hoover: Yes, yes it's - it's just indigestion, Clyde. Let's go to dinner tomorrow night, shall we? Our old corner booth.

    Clyde Tolson: Perhaps if I feel better.

    J. Edgar Hoover: Yes. And you must - you must. We have a great many things to discuss. And now I can't trust anyone else at the bureau right now. I can only depend on you.

    Clyde Tolson: [Edgar walks up to Clyde and holds onto his hand, kissing is forehead] Thank you, Edgar.

    J. Edgar Hoover: [Edgar leaves the handkerchief in Clyde's hand] Good night, Clyde.

    Clyde Tolson: Good night, Edgar.

    [Edgar walks off and Clyde holds Edgar's handkerchief to his cheek]

  • [J. Edgar Hoover arrives home to go to bed]

    J. Edgar Hoover: [narrating] The very essence of our democracy is rooted in a belief in the worth of the individual. That life has meaning that transcends any man-made system, that love is the greatest force on earth... far more enduring than hatred or the unnatural divisions of mankind.
