[O'Donnell and Kennedy meet in the Oval Office after the above discussion. They pause for a moment, then softly laugh]
Kenny O'Donnell: You know, call me Irish, but I don't believe in "cooler heads prevailing."
President Kennedy: You know, I think I froze in there.
O'Donnell: You didn't freeze...You did what you were supposed to do, you stayed out of the corner.
Kennedy: Acheson's scenario is unacceptable, and he's got more experience than anybody.
O'Donnell: There is no expert on the subject, there is no wise old man. There's... shit, there's just us.
Kennedy: The thing is that Acheson's right. Talk alone's not gonna accomplish anything.
O'Donnell: Well, let's bomb the shit out of 'em! Everybody wants to. Even you, I mean, even me, right? It sure would feel good.
