First AD: Daniel, you set?
Fred Rogers: I'm set!
First AD: Thank you, Daniel.
Lloyd Vogel: Did she just talk to the puppet?

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - The Power of Prayer in Adversity

Lloyd Vogel: Hey, what did you say to Jerry?
Fred Rogers: I asked him to pray for me. I figure anyone who is going through what he is going through must be awfully close to God.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - Responsibility in Conflict and Communication

Lloyd Vogel: You didn't hear him.
Andrea Vogel: You were out of control.
Lloyd Vogel: He was out of control.
Andrea Vogel: You're just not gonna take responsibility for any of this?
Lloyd Vogel: Of course I am. I offered to pay for Lorraine's dry cleaning.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - Conflict Over Family History

Jerry Vogel: Your mom and I hardly knew each other when she got pregnant. But we were babies, huh?
Lloyd Vogel: Don't talk about her.
Jerry Vogel: Oh, whoa, wait a minute. You don't know the whole story. Your mom was not the saint...
Lloyd Vogel: [suddenly turns around and punches Jerry; Todd rushes in and attempts to restrain Lloyd] DON'T TALK ABOUT MY MOM!!!!
Lorraine Vogel: [watching her brother yell at Jerry] What are you doing?
Lloyd Vogel: [shoves Todd into Lorraine, spilling wine all over her dress] GET OFF ME!!!
Wedding Guest: [punches Lloyd against the wall] Hey!
Todd: Come on, what are you doing? Come on.
Lorraine Vogel: [shocked and furious with Lloyd for ruining her wedding dress; Andrea looks at Lloyd as he facepalms his injury] What the hell?!

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - Understanding Fear and Anger in Vulnerability

Lloyd Vogel: Listen, I realize I need to deal with my feelings. When I'm scared, which I was in the hospital, and I have been for a long time, I get really angry. I know it's a way of saying, "I can't deal with this. Get away from me." But that's not what I want. It's actually the opposite of what I want.

The Post - Debate on Sacrifice for Truth and Justice

Ben Bagdikian: They're going to lock you up, Dan.
Daniel Ellsberg: [[Vietnam War|this war] Wouldn't you go to prison to stop ]?
Ben Bagdikian: Theoretically, sure.
Daniel Ellsberg: You are gonna publish these documents?
Daniel Ellsberg: Even with the injunction.
Daniel Ellsberg: Well, then. It's not so theoretical then, is it?

The Post - Revelations of War Deception and Accountability

Daniel Ellsberg: [[Dwight Eisenhower|Ike; [John F. Kennedy|Kennedy; [Lyndon Johnson|Johnson; [w:Geneva Convention|Geneva Convention] But it didn't take him long to figure out, well, for us to figure out if the public ever saw these papers they would turn against the war. Covert ops, guaranteed debt, rigged elections? It's all in there. ], ], ]... they violated the ]. They lied to Congress and they lied to the public. They knew we couldn't win and still sent boys to die.
Ben Bagdikian: [[Richard Nixon|Nixon] What about ]?
Daniel Ellsberg: He's just carrying on like all the others, too afraid to be the one who loses the war on his watch.

The Post - Perception of Treason and Government Reputation

Daniel Ellsberg: I was struck, in fact, by President Johnson's reaction to these revelations as close to treason. Because it reflected to me the sense that what was damaging to the reputation of a particular administration, a particular individual, was in itself treason. Which is very close to saying, "I am the State".

The Post - The Cost of American Pride in Vietnam

Daniel Ellsberg: Someone said this, at some point, about why we stayed when we knew we were losing. Ten percent was to help the South Vietnamese. Twenty percent was to hold back the Commies. Seventy percent was to avoid the humiliation of an American defeat. Seventy percent of those boys just to avoid being humiliated? That stuck with me.
