Stephen Glass: [long, pained pauses]
But you can't. Chuck, will you please take me to the airport?
Chuck Lane: [disgusted]
Jesus...
Stephen Glass: [choking up]
Please, okay? You don't have to talk to me if you don't want to. It's fine. But I can't be by myself right now. Okay? I'm, I'm afraid of what I'm gonna do, you know? I can't get there by myself.
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: [pause, Lane says nothing]
But... but I'm afraid I'm going to do something! Did you hear what I said?
Chuck Lane: [unmoved]
Yeah. It's a hell of a story.
Stephen Glass:
Chuck, please?
Chuck Lane:
Stop pitching, Steve. It's over.

Shattered Glass - The Privilege and Responsibility of Influence
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.

Shattered Glass - The Value of Humility in Journalism
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.

Shattered Glass - The Art of Capturing Human Stories
Stephen Glass: [[Bob Woodward|Woodward; [Carl Bernstein|Bernstein]
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.

Jumper - A Day of Extraordinary Adventures
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.
