Favorite Scenes: Nixon (1995)

After the death of his second brother, 19 year old Richard Nixon (David Barry Gray) grieves and is approached by his mother Hannah (Mary Steenburgen).Hannah Nixon: Richard.

Richard Nixon: I can’t.

HN: You must. This law school – it’s a gift from thy brother.

RN: He had to die for me to get it?

HN: Something has to come of this. It’s meant to make us stronger. Thee art stronger than Harold, stronger than Arthur. God has chosen thee to survive.

RN: What about happiness, mother?

HN: Thee will find thy peace at the center, Richard. Strength in this life, happiness in the next.
