Waking the Dead (2000): Ambitions

The clip Ambitions from Waking the Dead (2000) with Jennifer Connelly, Billy Crudup

You...
...still haven't told me how you got the idea you wanted to be a senator.
That's not actually what I want.
I want to be the President.
Why are you smiling?
Because you mean it.
You're still part of the same system.
So what do I do, go to Canada, go to jail?
Yes! I mean, if it's what you believe in.
I think that's easy for you to say because you can't be drafted.
That is so patronizing.
I'm sorry.
But if I do those things, either of those things...
...I risk throwing away everything that I've worked for.
This way, eventually...
...I can make some real, substantial changes...
...without throwing away my life on some ultimately meaningless gesture.
Sometimes meaningless gestures are all we have.
You're very ambitious, aren't you?
I'm afraid I am.
Be careful.
Ambition is...
...the ice on the lake of emotion.
Who said that?
I did.
