Dead Presidents (2009)

There is but one reliance...
Good morning, Robert.
Is it the fourth?
Oh yes; it is the glorious fourth of July. It is a great day. It is a good day. god bless it. god bless you all.
I am about to die. I expect the summons very soon. I have tried to discharge all my duties faithfully.
Doctor, I am going.
I am just going.
We are all going.
Have me decently buried and do not let my body be into a vault in less than two days after I am dead. Do you understand me? 'Tis well.
I know that I am going where Lucy is.
We are all going, we are all going, we are all going. Oh, dear.
I love you, Sarah. For all eternity, I love you.
Edith. I am a broken machine, but I am ready.
Send Mike immediately!
Oh Swaim, there is a pain here. Swaim, can't you stop this? Oh, oh, Swaim!
I've always loved my wife, my children, and my grandchildren...
That's good. Read some more.
I have a terrific headache.
That's very obvious.
Water.
The nourishment is palatable.
It doesn't really matter.
Are the doctors here? Doctor...my lungs.
...and I've always loved my country.
Oh, don't cry.
I hope to meet you all in Heaven.
Perhaps it is best.
Be good children and I'll meet you all in Heaven.
It's God's way. His will be done, not ours. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee.
I want to go. God, take me.
Oh Lord God Almighty, as thou wilt.
I resign my spirit to God, my daughter to my country.
Nothing more than a change of mind, my dear. I always talk better lying down.
Be good children, all of you, and strive to be ready when the change comes.
I wish you to understand the true principles of government. I wish them carried out. I ask nothing more.
I have tried so hard to do right.
Whatever the result may be, I shall carry to my grave the consciousness that at least I meant well for my country.
I regret nothing, but I am sorry that I am about to leave my friends.
This is the last of Earth. I am content.
Please, put out the light.
