Quotes
-
[Jeremy and Natalie have broken up]
Dana Whitaker : Did you know about Jeremy and Natalie?
Isaac Jaffe : No.
Dana Whitaker : Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take care of this footage. *Then*, I'm gonna stop by Dan and Casey's office to fill them in on Jeremy and Natalie. *Then*, I'm gonna come back here and I'm gonna talk to you.
Isaac Jaffe : That sounds good. Why don't you do everything you just said, except coming back here and talking to me?
-
Natalie Hurley : Isaac.
Isaac Jaffe : Hey, Natalie.
Natalie Hurley : I know it's not my place, but I want to say I think it's terrible you're handing over the tape.
Isaac Jaffe : Why?
Natalie Hurley : You know why.
Isaac Jaffe : Natalie...
Natalie Hurley : We're a news organization.
Isaac Jaffe : I'm aware of that.
Natalie Hurley : Are you telling me the next time someone calls us to tell us who's fixing college basketball, we got to hand them over to the police?
Isaac Jaffe : No.
Natalie Hurley : What are you saying?
Isaac Jaffe : I'm saying we're handing this over to the police.
Natalie Hurley : What's the difference?
Isaac Jaffe : Deep Throat's not on that tape. There's no one we need to protect. We shot a crime scene. We're helping out the police.
Natalie Hurley : There's a bigger principle.
Isaac Jaffe : No, there's not.
Natalie Hurley : How about the First Amendment?
Isaac Jaffe : The First Amendment's great, Natalie, but I don't think we need to protect ourselves behind it just because we can.
Natalie Hurley : Well, I've said my piece.
-
Dana Whitaker : We could do it, you know. Refuse to hand over the tape and go to jail for a First Amendment principle.
Isaac Jaffe : Ah, Dana. Don't you think if I could have figured out a way to send you to prison, I would have done it already?
Dana Whitaker : You're a regular cut up there, skipper.
Isaac Jaffe : Get out.
Dana Whitaker : Okay.
