What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing...he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance...Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen… and he'll get all the great women.
James L Brooks (screenwriter)
Aaron Altman (Albert Brooks) to Jane Craig (Holly Hunter) in Broadcast News (1987)
