Plot: In the run-up to the 1972 elections, Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward covers what seems to be a minor break-in at the Democratic Party National headquarters. He is surprised to find top lawyers already on the defense case, and the discovery of names and addresses of Republican fund organizers on the accused further arouses his suspicions. The editor of the Post is prepared to run with the story and assigns Woodward and Carl Bernstein to it. They find the trail leading higher and higher in the Republican Party, and eventually into the White House itself.

Quotes:
Bob Woodward: Well, who is Charles Colson?::Harry Rosenfeld: The most powerful man in the United States is President Nixon. You've heard of him? Charles Colson is special counsel to the President. There's a cartoon on his wall. The caption reads, "When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow."
Harry Rosenfeld: Bernstein, why don't you finish one story before trying to get on another?::Carl Bernstein: I finished it.::Harry Rosenfeld: The Virginia legislature story?::Carl Bernstein: I finished it.::Harry Rosenfeld: All right, give it to me.::Carl Bernstein: I'm just polishing it.
Sally Aiken: Ken Clawson told me he wrote the Canuck letter.::Carl Bernstein: The letter that said Muskie was slurring the Canadians.::Bob Woodward: Clawson.::Carl Bernstein: The deputy director of White House communications wrote the Canuck letter. When'd he tell you this?::Sally Aiken: When we were having drinks.::Carl Bernstein: Where were you?::Sally Aiken: My apartment.::Carl Bernstein: When did you say he told you?::Sally Aiken: Two weeks ago.::Carl Bernstein: What else did he say? He didn't say anything? Come on, you're hedging.::Bob Woodward: Do you think he said it to impress you, to try to get you to go to bed with him?::Carl Bernstein: Jesus!::Bob Woodward: No, I want to hear her say it. Do you think he said that to impress you, to try to get you to go to bed with him?::Carl Bernstein: Why did it take you two weeks to tell us this, Sally?::Sally Aiken: I guess I don't have the taste for the jugular you guys have.
[Bernstein has taken one of Woodward's stories off his desk and turned it in]::Bob Woodward: If you're gonna do it, do it right. If you're gonna hype it, hype it with the facts. I don't mind what you did. I mind the way you did it.
Scott, Foreign Editor: It's a dangerous story for this paper.::Ben Bradlee: How dangerous?::Scott, Foreign Editor: Well, it's not that we're using nameless sources that bothers me. Or that everything we print, the White House denies. Or that no other papers are reprinting our stuff.::Howard Simons: What then?::Scott, Foreign Editor: Look, there are two thousand reporters in this town, are there five on Watergate? When did the Washington Post suddenly get the monopoly on wisdom? Why would the Republicans do it? McGovern's self-destructed just like Humphrey, Muskie, the bunch of them. I don't believe this story. It doesn't make sense.
Ken Clawson: Please, listen, now, if you're going to refer to that alleged conversation with Sally Aiken, you can't print that it took place in her apartment. I have a wife and a family and a dog and a cat.::Ben Bradlee: A wife and a family and a dog and a cat. Right, Ken, right, yeah. Uh, Ken, I don't want to print that you were in Sally's apartment...::Ken Clawson: Thank God.::Ben Bradlee: I just want to know what you said, in Sally's apartment.
Carl 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.::Bob Woodward: You're both paranoid. She's afraid of John Mitchell, and you're afraid of Walter Cronkite.
Deep Throat: You'll have to figure that on your own.::Bob Woodward: Look, I'm tired of your chicken shit games! I don't want hints! I need to know what you know!::[pause]::Deep Throat: [very reluctant tone] The Watergate burglary... it was a Haldeman operation. The whole business was run by Haldeman, the money... everything. It won't be easy getting at him. He was insulated somehow, you'll have to find out how. Mitchell started doing covert stuff before anyone else. The list of the people involved is longer than anyone can imagine. It involves the entire U.S. Intelligence Community. FBI... CIA... Justice... it's incredible. The cover-up had little to do with the Watergate foul-up. It was mainly to protect the covert operations. It leads everywhere. Get out your notebook. There's more. Your lives are in danger.
Deep Throat: [angry tone] You let Haldeman slip away.::Bob Woodward: Yes.::Deep Throat: You've done worse than let Haldeman slip away: you've got people feeling sorry for him. I didn't think that was possible. In a conspiracy like this, you build from the outer edges and go step by step. If you shoot too high and miss, everybody feels more secure. You've put the investigation back months.::Bob Woodward: Yes, we know that. And if we're wrong, we're resigning. Were we wrong?
Bob Woodward: Segretti crisscrossed the country, at least a dozen times. And always stayed in cities where there were Democratic primaries.::Carl Bernstein: So if the break-in was just one incident in a campaign of sabotage that began a whole year before Watergate...::Bob Woodward: Then for the first time the break-in makes sense.::Carl Bernstein: This isn't so crazy. This whole thing didn't start with the bugging of the headquarters.::Bob Woodward: Segretti was doing this a year before the bugging.::Carl Bernstein: And a year before, Nixon wasn't slaughtering Muskie, he was running behind Muskie, before Muskie self-destructed.::Bob Woodward: *If* he self-destructed!
