Agreed. William Goldman is one of my all-time favorite screenwriters, based exclusively on this and on BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID.

Ben Bradlee: Where's the goddamn story?

Bob Woodward: The money's the key to whatever this is.

Ben Bradlee: Says who?

Howard Simons: Deep Throat.

Ben Bradlee: Who?

Howard Simons: Oh, that's Woodward's garage freak; his source in the executive department.

Ben Bradlee: Garage Freak? Jesus, what kind of a crazy f*ucking story is this?
