RFK:If he wasn't killed

SEPTEMBER 19,WHITE HOUSE,CALL BETWEEN LBJ AND ROBERT F KENNEDY
"The White House."

"President,(gasps for air) somebody bombed Miami. I think it is the Cubans. Send the army to the beaches of Miami.Call on some airplanes,too.This could be the start of a war. By the way,it is Kennedy."

(phone hangs up)

Cut to the West Wing titles right here.
 
So, we should decide which of the following we're nominating for Turtledove best quote:

"Yippies,why are you doing this madness?" -RFK

''I may had lived through that bombing,but my brother did not survive the bullet." -RFK

"...all of the bad things in this world needs to be stopped." -RFK

"We need peace,because this is America." -RFK

"President,(gasps for air) somebody bombed Miami. I think it is the Cubans. Send the army to the beaches of Miami.Call on some airplanes,too.This could be the start of a war. By the way,it is Kennedy." -RFK
 
Also, technical suggestion: The President doesn't answer the phone at the White House, so LBJ wouldn't have said "The White House."

Can't we nominate all of them?
 
"Democracy is superior...We are going to get out of there"

Mixed messages, eh what? This is the The Room of Alternate History. We need someone to do a live reading of this in their best Tommy Wiseau voice and then we'll be golden.
