• Arlene Lorenzo : 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.

• Arlene Lorenzo , Betsy Jobs : You suck, Dick!

• Arlene Lorenzo : So you really think that my dad could be alive?

  Betsy Jobs : Alive and famous! It makes perfect sense, he was probably married or something and your mom had to keep it a secret to protect his reputation. I mean, he's probably out there right now, his heart breaking because he can't reach out to the one person who truly maters to him. His darling daughter.

  Arlene Lorenzo : My life is so tragic!

  Betsy Jobs : Or it could be worse! What if... years from now you get married and find out that your finacee's dad is your dad, too, and you two are brother and sister!

  Betsy Jobs : [thinks for a second, then gasps]  Are you the guy who sells corndogs at the mall?

  G. Gordon Liddy : As far as you're concerned, I have no identity at all. As a matter of fact - l'm not even here.

  [turns around and leaves] 

  Arlene Lorenzo : He's way weirder than the corn-dog guy.

• Arlene Lorenzo : Let's ask the President to stop the war.

  Betsy Jobs : Okay! But how are we going to get into the White House?

  Arlene Lorenzo : Unless you wanna keep the war going, so Larry will leave and you can have his room.

  Betsy Jobs : No. Larry's a freak and all, but, I'd be sad if he, you know... .

  Arlene Lorenzo : Died?

  Betsy Jobs : Yeah.

• Betsy Jobs : We should leave a message for Dick.

  Arlene Lorenzo : Like what?

• Arlene Lorenzo : I don't understand the title of that porno movie.

  Betsy Jobs : [whispers]  "Deep Throat" means...

• Arlene Lorenzo : I know that you have a lot of things on your mind, because, you're the President and all. But, I can't keep my feelings inside any longer. I've never felt this way about anybody before, not even about Bobby Sherman, who I completely and totally adore. But now I realize that that was just puppy love and that this is the real thing.

• Betsy Jobs : And this one's kind of hunky.

  Arlene Lorenzo : Gross.

  Betsy Jobs : Well, you liked Dick.

• Arlene Lorenzo : There's this song by Olivia Newton-John that I think best describes the way I feel about you. It goes like this:

  [singing] 

  Arlene Lorenzo : I love you, I honestly love you, You don't have to answer, I could see it in your eyes, But it's coming from my heart, And not my head

• Arlene Lorenzo : We think you haven't been completely honest with us.

  Dick : Let me tell you, if it's about that goddamn Watergate! I tell you, I had NOTHING to do with it, you hear? It's those goddamn Woodward and Burnstein! They're out to get me!

  Arlene Lorenzo : [Stunned silence]  Actually it was just about the dog.

  Betsy Jobs : You act like you like him. But we don't think you do.

  Dick : What dog?

• Arlene Lorenzo : War is not healthy for children and other living things.

• Arlene Lorenzo : Why were they shredding all that paper?

  Dick : Oh, papier-mâché is a hobby of mine.

• Betsy Jobs : What names?

  Carl Bernstein : The names! The information!

  Bob Woodward : Listen, people are counting on you!

  Betsy Jobs : Well, look, you two are the big-shot reporters. Can't you figure anything out for yourselves?

  Carl Bernstein : What about that list from CREEP? How could you let your dog eat it? You're ruining my life!

  Arlene Lorenzo : We have a very important school report on turquoise jewelry due in two days and we can't find any books on it. It's too much pressure.
