Discussion of Prophecy and Disappearance

Kimmy I know where she is. It's in the Bible. My parents sent me to camp one summer, and everyone was talking about this. They said that, one day, millions of people were going to just...just disappear.

Cameron "Buck" Williams Millions? What else did they say?

Kimmy I don't remember. It was a long time ago.

Dennis Are you saying, it was the devil?

Kimmy No. It was God.

Melvin Don't tell me you believe all this.

[Groans]

Cameron "Buck" Williams It's not about what I believe.

JFK

Questioning the Credibility of Government Institutions

Bill Broussard I don't buy it, Chief. Why would the FBI cover it up? A telex that disappears from every single FBI office in this country?

[after hearing the FBI/Oswald story]

Jim Garrison There's a word, Bill. Orders.

Susie Cox Or a cover up. Jesus, Bill. Don't you have enough proof of the FBI's complicity yet?

Bill Broussard I respect this country's institutions, like you do, Susie! How the hell can you keep a conspiracy going between the mob, the CIA, the FBI, the Army Intelligence, and who the hell knows what else when you can't keep a secret in this room between 12 people? I mean, we got leaks everywhere. We are going to trial, y'all! What the hell do we really got? Oswald, Ruby, Bannister and Ferrie are dead. Shaw? Maybe he's an agent, I don't know. But, as a covert operator in my book, he is wide open for blackmail because of his homosexuality.

Jim Garrison Shaw's our toehold, Bill. I don't know exactly what he is or where he fits, and I don't really care. But I do know he's lying through his teeth and I'm not gonna let go of him.

Bill Broussard And that's why, for those reasons, you're going to trial against Clay Shaw, chief? Well, you're gonna lose! Let's investigate our Mafia leads here in New Orleans. Now, I can buy that a hell of a lot easier than I can the government. Ruby's all mob, knows Oswald, sets him up. Hoffa, Trafficante, Marcello, they hire some guns and they do Kennedy. And, uh, the government doesn't want to open up a whole can of worms because it used the mob to try to get to Castro. Castro assassinated by the mob, by us, sounds pretty wild to John Q. Citizen. So they close the book on JFK. Makes perfect sense to me.

Jim Garrison I don't doubt their involvement, Bill, but at a low level. Could the mob change the parade route? Or eliminate the protection for the President? Could the mob send Oswald to Russia and get him back? Could the mob get the FBI, the CIA, and the Dallas Police to make a mess of the investigation? I mean, could the mob get the Warren Commission appointed to cover it up? Could the mob wreck the autopsy? Could the mob influence the national media to go to sleep? And since when has the mob used anything but .38s for hits up close? The mob wouldn't have the guts or the power for something of this magnitude. Assassins need payrolls, schedules, times, orders. This was a military style ambush from star to finish. A coup d'etat with Lyndon Johnson waiting in the wings.

Bill Broussard OK. So now you're saying ] was involved? The President of the United States?

[[Lyndon Johnson]

Jim Garrison I know this, Bill. Lyndon Johnson got $1 billion dollars for his Texas friends, ], to dredge ] for the military in Vietnam.

Bill Broussard Boss...

Jim Garrison That's just for openers...

Bill Broussard Boss, are you calling the President a murderer?!?

[yelling]

Jim Garrison If I'm so far from the truth, why is the FBI bugging our offices? Huh? Why are our witnesses being bought off and murdered? And why are the federal agencies blocking our extraditions and subpoenas like we were never before?

Bill Broussard I don't know. I don't know. Maybe there's some rogue element in the government or something, but you're not...

Jim Garrison With a full-blown conspiracy to cover it up? You ever read Shakespeare, Bill?

Bill Broussard Yeah, I do.

Jim Garrison Julius Caesar? "Brutus and Cassius, they, too, are honorable men." Who killed Caesar? Ten or twelve senators. All it takes is one Judas, Bill. A few people on the inside. Pentagon, CIA, you name it.

Bill Broussard This is Louisiana, chief. How the hell do you know who your daddy is? Cause your mama told ya so. You are taking a crap in the wind, boss. And I, for one, am not going along on this one.

Lou Ivon Boss, I've had my doubts all along about Bill. He's been fighting us all along.

Jim Garrison Well, we need him back.

Al Oser Boss, Broussard wasted a whole damn month trying to prove that mob boys like Jack Ruby and Brady are kind of hooked up with ].

[[w:Hunt Oil Company|Hunt Oil]

Lou Ivon I don't trust this guy.

Jim Garrison I will not hear this, gentlemen. Now, I value Bill as much as any person here. It's time we all made room for someone else's ideas, including me. Maybe Oswald is what everybody says he is and I'm just plain dumb about it.

Al Oser I've seen him copying files, leaving here late at night.

[trying to discuss this situation]

Lou Ivon I just don't trust him.

Jim Garrison Didn't you two hear what I said?! I said I will not tolerate infighting among the staff!

Lou Ivon Then I'm afraid I cannot work with Bill Broussard anymore.

Jim Garrison Is this an ultimatum you're giving me, Lou?

Lou Ivon What?!

Jim Garrison Are you giving me an ultimatum?

Lou Ivon Well, if that's what you want to call it. I never thought it would come to this. I guess I am.

[sighs]

Jim Garrison Well, then I won't have any more ultimatums put to me, Lou. I'll accept your resignation.

Lou Ivon Well, you sure got it. You are one stubborn son of a bitch. And you... are making a very big mistake.
