Deep Throat:
You thought I'd help out on specifics? I'll confirm what you get, try to keep you on the right track, but that's all. Are you guys really working? [Woodward nods] How much?
Woodward:
I don't know maybe sixteen, eighteen hours a day--we've got sources at Justice, the FBI, but it's still drying up.
Deep Throat:
Then there must be something, mustn't there. Look, forget the myths the media's created about the White House--the truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.
Woodward:
If you don't like them, why won't you be more concrete with me?
Deep Throat:
Because the press stinks too--history on the run, that's all you're interested in. You come up with anything?
Woodward:
John Mitchell resigned as head of CREEP to spend more time with his family. That doesn't exactly have the ring of truth. Howard Hunt's been found--there was talk that his lawyer had 25 thousand in cash in a paper bag.
Deep Throat:
Follow the money. Always follow the money.
Woodward:
What do you mean? Where?
Deep Throat:
Oh, I can't tell you that.
Woodward:
But you could tell me that.
Deep Throat:
No, I have to do this my way. You tell me what you know, and I'll confirm. I'll keep you in the right direction if I can, but that's all. Just... follow the money.
