Guess The Movie Contest

No prize involved... just the admiration of me and my readers if you're the first to guess which movie this quote is from:

No more secrets, Marty

It's from another of my all-time favorites.  No Googling please.  Let's keep it honest.

Update:  OK... nobody has officially guessed it yet.  If this one doesn't give it away, then nothing will:

Hi.  My name is Werner Brandis.  My voice is my passport.  Verify me.

Update II:  Congrats to Sliver, who guessed correctly.  The movie is Sneakers... a classic from 1992 which had a great ensemble cast of incredible actors including Robert Redford, Ben Kingsley, Sidney Poitier and James Earl Jones.

Dick Gordon:  National Security Agency.
Martin Bishop:  Ah. You're the guys I hear breathing on the other end of my phone.
Dick Gordon:  No, that's the FBI. We're not chartered for domestic surveillance.
Martin Bishop:  Oh, I see. You just overthrow governments. Set up friendly dictators.
Dick Gordon:  No, that's the CIA. We protect our government's communications, we try to break the other fella's codes. We're the good guys, Marty.
Martin Bishop:  Gee, I can't tell you what a relief that is, Dick.

Gee I don't know, Marty. What do you want to do?

Sorry Sliver... it's not Back to the Future... I, II, or III. And Triticale, you may have it.... but I'm afraid I'm going to need an actual title or a much less obscure quotation to be sure.

Oh hell it's Sneakers! I was way off.

We have a winner! It's Sliver!

Whistler: I want peace on earth and goodwill toward men.
Abbott: We're the United States Government! We don't deal with that sort of thing.

I wasn't seriously guessing. The quote is from "Marty" which I believe was the first ever made-for-television movie.
