Bob Zelnick Quotes in Frost/Nixon (2008)

Bob Zelnick: [Impersonating Nixon, discussing Jack Kennedy] That man, he screwed anything that moved, fixed elections, and took us into Vietnam. And the American people, they loved him for it! Whereas I, Richard Milhous Nixon, worked around the clock in their service, and they hated me! Look. Look. Now I'm sweating. Damn it! Damn it! And Kennedy's so goddamn handsome and blue-eyed! Had women all over him! He screwed anything that moved, and everything. Had a go at Checkers once. The poor little bitch was never the same!

Richard Nixon: [Reston swore to Zelnick earlier he would never shake Nixon's hand] Pleasure to meet you.

[Offers Reston his hand]

James Reston, Jr.: [after a pause, he shakily extends his own hand] Mr. President...

Bob Zelnick: [after Nixon leaves] Oh that was devastating, I don't think he's ever going to get over that.

James Reston, Jr.: Fuck off.

[reading from a newspaper]

Caroline Cushing: "Frost has hired three crack investigators..."

James Reston, Jr.: Can I be Crack #1?

Bob Zelnick: Can I be Deep Crack?
