What Are You Going To Do, Charge Me With Smoking? -- Basic Instinct

There is a classic scene in the movie "Basic Instinct," in which a murder suspect is being interviewed by several detectives "downtown." When the Sharon Stone character lights up a cigarette, she is reminded by a detective that smoking is not allowed in the interrogation room.

She asks: "What are you going to do, charge me with smoking?"

That was the first thing I thought of when journalists reported that the President spoke of a "sealed indictment."

"What is Eric Holder going to do, charge me with misspeaking?"
