| Plot: | Election Year, 2004. A documentary on the "unknown supporting actor" takes a surprising turn when the lead of the film (Dan Butler; "Bulldog" from the television series "Frasier") becomes smitten with the idea of playing Karl Rove, President Bush's notorious senior advisor. Initially bent on bringing Rove down, as Butler gets deeper and deeper into his role, he actually falls in love with Rove. |

Quotes

Dan Butler: [to image of Karl Rove] You have the most beautiful eyes. Has anyone ever told you that before? I wish I had those eyes. They have vision. When they look, they see the future. When I look, all I see is you. Dan Butler: I think you should get someone like Philip Seymour Hoffman to do something like this. I mean this is a great supporting actor and people know who he is. And that's who you should get for this. Phil Leirness: Yeah, but, I mean, you know, frankly he's a little too well known. It sort of defeats the purpose. You know, I mean he's starting to play lead roles. You're more of, you know ... Dan Butler: I'm more of a known unknown. Dan Butler: [to Phil Leirness] Oh, great, Phil. Hey, this is the beginning of the end of my life and you've got it on film. Congratulations. John Hoffman: What's going to be a success? Dan Butler: I star in a one man show about Karl Rove, written with Julia, produced and directed by you. It's an immediate success, HBO options it, it's shown repeatedly leading up to the election, it appalls the electorate and ensures a Kerry victory in November. That's going to be a success! Dan Butler: He runs a presidential campaign on moral issues and he has no morality. He does anything to win. He lies. He smears, he ... I mean what he did to John McCain in South Carolina. No, no, no, wait ... He has no moral boundaries. Cameron Thor: You can't play Iago if you're going to judge him. You can't play Karl Rove if you're going to judge him. No villain looks at themselves as a villain. All of his actions have to be completely justified. You have to see the world through his eyes. John Hoffman: Wait. Wait! This is the show. This is the show! I know you're traumatized, Julia, but, you know, whenever a lesbian has misgivings, I know we've hit pay dirt. This is the show. You're in love with him. It's a love story! Don't think. Go! Go! Dan Butler: Uh ... Uh ... Uh ...Well ... I think Karl and I are the Hepburn and ... the Tracy and Hepburn of the beltway. Julia Miranda: [to Johnny Puerta] Could you ... Could you ... Could you stand out here, please. Out in front where I can see you? I really don't like people standing behind me, especially when they're you. Kira Tirimacco: Dan, look. I'm an actress. That was not acting the other night. That was somebody who had lost a grip. Dan Butler: Oh, you're an actress? Isn't there an expiration date on that? When was your last acting job, Kira? Dan Butler: I don't know what to say. I just don't want to be Dan Butler any more. |
