A middle-aged man with a sturdy build, clean-shaven face, and neatly combed dark hair showing traces of gray. His posture exudes confidence, fitting his political stature.
Secret Service Agent

Dialog

John F. Kennedy Well, Jackie, I don't think Dallas could give us a warmer welcome if they tried.
Jackie Kennedy The roses are lovely, Jack. Though I do wish they wouldn't throw them quite so... vigorously.
John F. Kennedy That's Texas enthusiasm for you. Reminds me of Boston in '46 - except with less snow and more...
Jackie Kennedy More sunshine? Or more cowboy hats?
John F. Kennedy Both, I'd say. And considerably fewer Kennedys in the crowd.
Jackie Kennedy Look at that building - all those windows. It's like being watched by a hundred eyes.
John F. Kennedy Occupational hazard, my dear. Though I'd take these spectators over the White House press corps any day.
