Carl Bernstein: [nods] Ben Bradlee: Well, I'd cut the words "her tit" and print it. Carl Bernstein: Why? Ben Bradlee: This is a family newspaper.

- Well... - It's all been denied. You tell your publisher, tell Katie Graham... she's going to get her tit caught in the big ringer if that's published.

It's 11:30 at night, sir. Sir, the Committee to Re-Elect has issued a statement to our story... but there are just a couple of questions... Did the Committee tell you to go ahead and publish the story? You fellows have got a great ballgame going. As soon as you're done, we're going to do a story on all of you.
