All that crap you're putting in the paper? It's all been denied. You tell your publisher, tell Katie Graham she's gonna get her tit caught in a big wringer if that's published. Good Christ, that's the most sickening thing I ever heard. Ben Bradlee:
[later]
He really said that about Mrs. Graham? Carl Bernstein:
[nods] Ben Bradlee:
Well, I'd cut the words "her tit" and print it. Carl Bernstein:
Why? Ben Bradlee:

All that crap.
You're putting it in the paper?
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.158
- Well...
- It's all been denied.
00:00:08.836 --> 00:00:10.829
You tell your publisher,
tell Katie Graham...
00:00:10.922 --> 00:00:14.172
she's going to get her tit caught in
the big ringer if that's published.
00:00:14.258 --> 00:00:16.928
Christ, that's the most
sickening thing I ever heard.
00:00:17.999 --> 00:00:19.003
Sir, I was just wondering
if I could ask you some questions?
00:00:19.388 --> 00:00:21.796
- What time is it?
- It's 11:30, sir.
00:00:22.391 --> 00:00:25.345
11:30? Is it morning or night?
00:00:25.436 --> 00:00:27.393
It's 11:30 at night, sir.
00:00:29.001 --> 00:00:33.394
Sir, the Committee to Re-Elect
has issued a statement to our story...
00:00:33.486 --> 00:00:35.146
but there are just a couple of questions...
00:00:35.238 --> 00:00:38.155
Did the Committee tell you
to go ahead and publish the story?
00:00:38.241 --> 00:00:40.779
You fellows have got
a great ballgame going.
00:00:40.868 --> 00:00:44.368
As soon as you're done,
we're going to do a story on all of you.
00:00:44.455 --> 00:00:46.282
Sir, there's just a couple of questions...
00:00:46.374 --> 00:00:48.532
Call my law office in the morning.
00:00:51.295 --> 00:00:53.917
There's no question
you properly identified yourself?
00:00:54.002 --> 00:00:56.213
He said it right off the top.
00:00:57.135 --> 00:00:59.997
Mitchell know
he was talking to a reporter?
00:00:59.137 --> 00:01:01.462
Yeah, but I think I woke him up.
00:01:01.931 --> 00:01:03.971
- Get good notes?
- Verbatim.
00:01:05.727 --> 00:01:08.396
He really said that about Mrs. Graham?
00:01:09.999 --> 00:01:11.089
Well, I'd cut the words "her tit"
and print it.
