Favorite journalism movie quotes

So I thought it would be fun for us all to share our favorite moments or quotes from movies about journalism.

My quote is from Superman - the original movie. Sure it's a bit overdone, but Lois' reaction is hardly ever mentioned but makes me laugh about covering politics. It also reminds me of how we should not ever just investigate one elected official - but all of them.

I'm such a Superman freak that my computers are named in his spirit - my computer, an iMac, is Superman; my laptop, a G4 15-inch, is Lois Lane (she came first, btw); and my iPhone is Jimmy - as in Jimmy Olsen the photographer.

Superman: I'm here to fight for truth, and justice, and the American way.
Lois Lane: [Laughs] You're gonna end up fighting every elected official in this country!
