All the President's Men • director Alan J. Pakula

• Bernstein: Boy, that woman was paranoid! At one point I - I suddenly wondered how high up this thing goes, and her paranoia finally got to me, and I thought what we had was so hot that any minute CBS or NBC were going to come in through the windows and take the story away.
• Woodward: You're both paranoid. She's afraid of John Mitchell, and you're afraid of Walter Cronkite.

“Let me get this straight. You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands; and your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck.” —Lucius Fox

Ghostbusters • director Ivan Reitman

• Winston: Hey, wait a minute. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hold it! Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is going to drop in on Central Park West, and start tearing up the city?
• Egon: Sumerian, not Babylonian.
• Venkman: Yeah. Big difference.
• Winston: No offense, guys, but I've gotta get my own lawyer.

Jaws • director Steven Spielberg

• Brody: It doesn't make any sense when you pay a guy like you to watch sharks.
• Hooper: Well, uh, it doesn't make much sense for a guy who hates the water to live on an island either.
• Brody: It's only an island if you look at it from the water.
• Hooper: That makes a lot of sense.

“Now you’re looking for the secret. But you won’t find it because of course, you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.” —Cutter • The Prestige • director Christopher Nolan
