Chuck Lane Jesus...

Chuck Lane I'm not going anywhere with you. Now, if you feel like you're a danger to yourself, you can sit down for a few minutes until you feel calm enough to go. But I'm not going anywhere with you.

Stephen Glass It's true, journalism is hard work. Everyone is under pressure, everyone's grinding to get the issue out. No one is getting enough sleep. But you are allowed to smile. Even ] and ] went out for a burger every once in a while. And they won a Pulitzer. Some reporters think that it's political content that makes a story. I think it's the people — their quirks, their flaws, what makes them funny, what makes them human. Journalism is just the art of capturing behavior. You have to know who you're writing for, you have to know what you're good at. I record what people do. I find out what moves them, what scares them, and I write that down. That way, they're the ones who are telling the story. And, you know what? Those kinds of pieces can win Pulitzers too.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?

Anakin Skywalker Don't say that, master. You're the closest thing I have to a father.

Obi-Wan Then why don't you listen to me?

Anakin I am trying.

Obi-Wan Do you see him?

Anakin I think "he" is a she. And I think she's a changeling.

Obi-Wan In that case, be extra careful. Go and find her.

Anakin Where are you going, Master?

Obi-Wan For a drink.

Barfly You wanna buy some death sticks?

Obi-Wan You don't want to sell me death sticks.

Barfly I don't wanna sell you death sticks.

Obi-Wan You want to go home and rethink your life.

Barfly I wanna go home and rethink my life.

Stephen Glass There are 16,800 magazines in this country, but only one calls itself the inflight magazine for Air Force One. That's the thrill of working at The New Republic. You're underpaid, the hours are brutal, but what you write gets read by people who matter: Presidents, lawmakers. Your work can actually influence public policy. That's an amazing privilege and a huge responsibility.

David Rice Let me tell you about my day so far. Coffee in Paris, surfed the Maldives, took a little nap on Kilimanjaro. Oh, yeah, I got digits from this Polish chick in Rio. And then I jumped back for the final quarter of the N.B.A. finals, courtside of course. And that was all before lunch. I could go on, but all I'm saying is, I'm standing on top of the world.

Stephen Glass There's so many show-offs in journalism, so many braggarts and jerks. They're always selling, always working the room, always trying to make themselves look hotter than they actually are. The good news is, reporters like that make it easy to distinguish yourself. If you're even a little humble and a little self-effacing, you stand out.

Sam Monroe I think there has to be a door between where you eat and where you crap.

Anakin Skywalker I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

David Rice I told you I'm different. I could have dropped you with the sharks.
