"Lloyd: Listen to me, Ray: we invent the enemy through our arrogance and vanity. It comes from our own dark souls. Our forefathers knew neither enemy or alliance. So we must be with science. You are a man of science, Ray."

"Ray: What Father was trying to do, is it really so wrong?"

"Lloyd: Yes, you know it is! Think that!"

"Ray: I think Steam Castle is a fantastic invention but it has changed father somehow. He is not as he used to be. Perhaps he has been tricked by the foundation people into doing something wrong. But how can I tell it's him or me?"

"Lloyd: Open your eyes. In the end you will have to decide for yourself. You alone."

"Edward: Science, it must work to advance all of humanity. Are weapons not part of that? Protecting people from conquer and ruin?"

"Lloyd: Rubbish, science can reveal the First Principle of universe, of life itself. It's not to be wasted on the reckless whining of bankers and salesmen."

"Edward: First Principle of universe? Does that include the fairy tale vision of Steam Castle you were trying to build? Is that what science for? [. . .] Science can make humans equal!"

"Lloyd: Don't abuse that word. This has nothing to do with equality. Money, profits, naked greed."

"Edward: It was the accident, Ray, that transfigured me, also transformed me. As I faced my death, steam was whirling around me. I saw it, felt it, and then I knew, science is power. And this Steam Castle is the true expression of science and its overwhelming power."

"Lloyd: The only thing overwhelming here is your arrogance. Your delusion!"

"Edward: Delusion? What delusion would that be? Take a a look around you, Father! We're standing in my delusion!"

"Excuse me, Mr. President. I was not informed that you were in the middle of... what the hell ARE you in the middle of?"

"Will Ferrell - Bob Woodward"

"Dan Hedaya - President Richard M. Nixon ('Dick')"

"Michelle Williams - Arlene Lorenzo"

"Kirsten Dunst - Betsy Jobs"

"The unmaking of the president"

"He was tricky. They were better."

"Larry: Whatever she's on, I didn't give it to her."

"Chip: [After sticking himself with an election pin] Figures that the pain in my ass is Nixon, the fascist."

"G. Gordon Liddy: [Surprised by Betsy and Arlene in the Watergate stairwell] Children! Running around, all hours of the night! When you kids grow up, you'll be living in the Soviet Union of America!"

"Mrs. Spinnler: Every lie is another brick in the pathway to hell."

"Bob Haldeman: You wanna complain about Vietnam? Talk to Johnson!"

"Bob Haldeman: I have met yams with more going on upstairs than these two."

"I'll take responsibility here. I'll be the only person in this administration who's willing to take responsibility for anything."

"It's alright, gentlemen. I'm familiar with these two young ladies. Well, not "familiar", familiar, obviously. I mean, I know them. We discussed foreign policy. [A secret service agent rolls his eyes knowingly] Don't you give me that look!"

"Dick is going down, man!"

"What about that list from CREEP? How could you let your dog eat it?! [Hysterical] You're ruining my life!!!"

"You don't mess with the big boys!!"

"I've got a way with young people. They trust me."

"Checkers - shut up! Or I'll feed you to the Chinese!"

"[After seeing Nixon's "I am not a crook" speech immediately after a threatening call] He's trying to drive me insane!"

"[Being followed by the President's 'plumbers'] Dick frightens me."

"I love Dick!"

"We have a very important school report on turquoise jewelry due in two days, and we can't find any books on it, and the President's having us followed. It's too much pressure."

"War is not healthy for children and other living things. [quoting a popular anti-Vietnam War protest slogan, originally created by poster artist Lorraine Schneider]"

"It's called incest, Arlene, and it's against the law."
