Lowell Bergman: Alright... ABC Telemarketing Company? Jeffrey Wigand: ABC...? Lowell Bergman: ABC Telemarketing Company. Jeffrey Wigand: A can opener! A $39.95 can opener. I cancelled payment... it was junk. You ever bounce a check, Lowell? You ever look at another woman's tits? You ever cheat a little on your taxes? Whose life, if you look at it under a microscope, doesn't have any flaws...? Lowell Bergman: Well that's the whole point, Jeffrey. That's the whole point. Anyone's. Everyone's. They are gonna look under every rock, dig up every flaw, every mistake you've ever made. They are going to distort and exaggerate everything you've ever done, man. Don't you understand? Jeffrey Wigand: What does this have to do with my testimony? Lowell Bergman: That's not the point. Jeffrey Wigand: What does this have to do with my testimony? I told the truth! It's valid and true and provable...! Lowell Bergman: That's not the fucking point, whether you told the truth or not!... Hello? Jeffrey Wigand: I told the truth... I told the truth... I've got to teach class. I've got to go. I've got to teach class. Lowell Bergman: And I've got to refute every fucking accusation made in this report before The Wall Street Journal runs... I am trying to protect you, man. Jeffrey Wigand: Well, I hope you improve your batting average.

Are you guys planning to do a piece on a former top executive in Big Tobacco? - You caught me in a news meeting. - Are you, are you not, Charlie? You bet we are, and I can't talk to you now. - We gotta hook up. - Sure. Where? - P.J.'s. - I'll be there. Yeah, I got it. Five hundred pages of it. They looked in every corner of this guy's life, from the spousal abuse charge, to shoplifting, to a traffic ticket he got once for running a red light. It's Terry Lenzner's outfit, I.G.I. Jack, listen to me. Their strategy: discredit this guy, ruin his reputation in the WalI Street Journal... and then nobody will ever listen to what he's got to say about tobacco. He's dead unless I can get this thing knocked down. Make it even a little more attractive. I don't know if you're ever gonna get paid. - Is there any truth to any of it? - That's a good question.
