The Post - The Consequences of Power and Control
Katharine Graham:
The Nixon White House is nothing if not vindictive. Just this morning they barred us from covering Trisha Nixon's wedding.
Fritz Beebe:
Somehow, I doubt that will rise to the level of catastrophe.
Katharine Graham: [laughs]
No. Probably not. Although, when Ben sets his mind to plunder, its not hard to imagine something more serious. Catastrophic events - do occur, you know.

The Post - The Consequences of Government Control on Media
Fritz Beebe:
If the government wins and we're convicted, the Washington Post as we know it will cease to exist.
Ben Bradlee:
Well, if we live in a world where the government could tell us what we can and cannot print, then the Washington Post as we know it has already ceased to exist.

The Post - Contemplating Legal Risks Before Publication
Roger Clark:
What if we wait? What if we hold off on printing today. Instead we call the Attorney General and we tell them that we intend to print on Sunday. That way we give them and us time to figure out the legality of all of it, while the Court in New York decides the Times case.
Ben Bradlee:
Are you suggesting we alert the Attorney General to the fact that we have these documents, that we're going to print, in a few days?
Roger Clark:
Well, yes, that is the idea.
Ben Bagdikian:
Yeah, well, outside of landing the Hindenburg in a lightning storm, that's about the shittiest idea I've ever heard.
Fritz Beebe:
Oh boy!

Attaboy.

...Mr. Ford...you okay? Mr. Ford, you alright?
Henry Ford II: [through sobs; [w:Edsel Ford|my daddy]
I had no idea...I had no idea. I wish ]...he were alive to see this...to feel this.
Carroll Shelby:
Now, this is not a machine just anybody can get in and easily control.
Henry Ford II: [still gently sobbing]
Absolutely not. I had no idea.
Carroll Shelby: [Ford finally calms down]
Now, you wanna win Le Mans, if you really wanna take first place, Ken Miles is the man to do it. Now he knows this car, because he helped me build it.

Ford v Ferrari - Betrayal and Insults in Business Negotiations
Leo Beebe:
He played us. Old Man Enzo had no intention of selling to us. He used us to up his price, embarrass our company and insult your leadership. It was a bad idea from the start.
Henry Ford II:
What exactly did he say?
Lee Iacocca:
He said Ford makes ugly little cars, and we make em... in an ugly factory. He said our executives are sons of whores.
Henry Ford II:
About me.
Lee Iacocca:
He called you fat, sir. Pigheaded.
Henry Ford II:
Go on.
Lee Iacocca:
He said you're not Henry Ford. You're Henry Ford II.
Henry Ford II:
I want the best engineers. The best drivers. I don't care what it costs. We're gonna build a race car...
Henry Ford II:
And we're gonna bury that goddamn greasy wop 100 feet deep under the finish line at Le Mans. And I will be there to watch it.

Ford v Ferrari - Legacy and Competition in the Auto Industry
Henry Ford II:
Shut it down, Mr. Beebe
Leo Beebe:
John!
Henry Ford II:
Hear that? That's the sound of the Ford Motor Company out of business.
Henry Ford II:
In 1899, my grandfather, Henry "By God" Ford, was walking home from Edison Illumination after working a double shift. He was ruminating. That morning, he had himself an idea that changed the world. Sixty-five years, and 47 million automobiles later, what shall be his legacy? Getting it in the tail pipe from a Chevy Impala!
Henry Ford II:
Here's what I want you to do. Walk home.
Henry Ford II:
While you're walking, I want you to ruminate. Man comes to my office with an idea, that man keeps his job. Rest of you, second-best losers... stay home. You don't belong at Ford.
