Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Jackie Kennedy:
I wrote him a letter. That night, before we moved the casket to the Capitol. Do you know what I wrote? That I wanted to die. I wanted to die.
The Priest:
I understand.
Jackie Kennedy:
Do you?
The Priest:
I do. Unless you are asking permission.
Jackie Kennedy:
No, only crass, self-indulgent people kill themselves. No, I was just hoping... if I walked down the street next to Jack's body then someone would be kind enough to do it for me.
The Priest:
In front of the whole world... A famous life, a famous death.
Jackie Kennedy:
I never wanted fame. I just became a Kennedy.

I wrote him a letter.
00:00:05.545 --> 00:00:09.132
That night, before we moved
the casket to the Capitol.
00:00:09.215 --> 00:00:10.883
Do you know what I wrote?
00:00:11.676 --> 00:00:13.177
That I wanted to die.
00:00:13.845 --> 00:00:15.388
I understand.
Do you?
00:00:15.513 --> 00:00:16.597
I do.
00:00:17.598 --> 00:00:21.227
Unless you are
asking my permission.
00:00:21.352 --> 00:00:22.728
No, only crass,
00:00:22.854 --> 00:00:25.356
self-indulgent people
kill themselves.
00:00:25.857 --> 00:00:27.009
No, I was just hoping
that if I walked
00:00:28.999 --> 00:00:29.861
down the street
next to Jack's body,
00:00:29.944 --> 00:00:33.001
maybe someone would be
kind enough to do it for me.
00:00:33.114 --> 00:00:35.998
In front of
the whole world?
00:00:35.007 --> 00:00:38.327
Famous life, famous death.
00:00:39.003 --> 00:00:40.872
I never wanted fame.
00:00:41.456 --> 00:00:43.249
I just became a Kennedy.
00:01:17.575 --> 00:01:22.371
I told everyone
that I can't remember.
00:01:22.455 --> 00:01:23.789
It's not true.
00:01:24.999 --> 00:01:26.209
I can remember.
