Only one worse line...
Sheesh! "The problem is us, all of us..." is the second worst commonly uttered line of dialog -- and poor Redford has to direct himself to say it! The cascade of things that when wrong to have that happen boggle the mind.
The worst line of dialog? Two characters sit looking at each other:
"Thank you," says one.
"No, thank you," says the other.
Scorsese dropped that clanger into "The Departed"... along with one very superfluous rat...
Which goes to show, I guess, that even the best make beginner mistakes every now and then!
