Plot: Winner of the Audience Award at the Slamdance Film Festival, this uproarious and smart new comedy tells the story of Henry Phillips, a hapless modern day troubadour who grinds his way through the heartland, living out of his car and singing his twisted satirical songs to anyone who will listen. After a booking mishap involving a Christian fundraiser, he decides he's hit rock bottom. Seeking to shake things up, he moves to L.A. where his luck changes overnight. Thanks less to his inept manager than to a wild case of mistaken identity, he falls backwards into a string of packed gigs, a record deal and even the promise of love. But he who lives by the whimsy of show business dies by it, and reality hits him like a fist in the face: an innocent miscommunication over a bagel brands him a neo-Nazi in the world of tabloid journalism. Luckily, somewhere between rock bottom and nowhere lies the perfect terrain for his dark and hilarious songs. Hailed by comedy icon Sarah Silverman as "the best movie about comedy I've seen so far," this hilarious and evocative film is "totally primed for a fervent cult following." -- A.V. Club

Quotes:

Henry: Michelagelo apparently once said, um, that if people knew how hard he worked, they wouldn't call him a genius and I think with me, it's sort of the opposite, you know. I think that if people knew how little I worked on this stuff, I don't think they would say that I suck.

Ellen Pinsky: Henry Phillips - James Taylor on smack.

Captain Chaotic: Are you in a relationship or something right now?::Henry: Actually, no. I'm going through a little bit of a breakup situation right now, which sucks, and my friends are tired of hearing me complain about it. It's been about nine years now.

Stupid Joe: [singing] Nothing I can do , I totally ripped a big faartt...

Captain Chaotic: Okay, so Henry Phillips has the record deal, he's got the, uh, jolly green cash giant pooping in his hand and everything's going great. So, what happens next? I mean, are you gonna sell out to the man?::Henry: You know, it's funny, I don't think I would have the ability to do it.

Car Heckler Driver: You suck, Batman! Where's Robin? Where's the Joker?

Captain Chaotic: So, do you see yourself more as a musician or as a comedian?::Henry: Well, I've always liked to say that I got foot in the music door and one foot in the comedy door. So I don't know if you can really picture that or not. I'm not really getting anywhere, I'm just kinda humping the wall in-between the two doors.

Matt: I had sex with Carrie today::Henry: Really?::Matt: No.

Matt: Hi, can I have something fruity with an umbrella in it, please? Something to get me messed up in a hurry?::Becca: Oh, I'm sorry, we just have beer and wine.::Matt: Then I'll take that bottle right there and one glass and a pretty smile.::Becca: Oka... okay.

Henry: One time I was watching a documentary on hallucinogenic drugs... ah, which I think is really the best way to watch a documentary, if you get a chance.

Quotes:

US Ambassador: [over the phone] I can hear the sound of explosions from the north east. The sky is very bright. All lit up. [phone melts and high pitched whining sound starts]

Prof. Groeteschele: [viciously slapping a beautiful young woman who has tried to seduce him after a cocktail party] I'm not your kind.

Prof. Groeteschele: [after recommending an unprovoked attack by the U.S. on Moscow] And the Lord said, gentlemen, "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone."

Defense Secretary Swenson: General Stark, are there any papers or documents in New York which are absolutely essential to the running of the United States? General Stark?::Gen. Stark: No sir. There are important documents, but none of them absolutely essential.::Admiral Wilcox: Will there be any warning given? A lot of lives could be saved if people had a few minutes.::Defense Secretary Swenson: On this short notice, an alert to a big city would do more harm than good. It only produces panic.::Admiral Wilcox: What about this?::[Wilcox tosses a newspaper onto the table, showing the First Lady in NYC, prominently featured on the main page. Swenson sees it, then gives the paper to General Stark]::Gen. Stark: Maybe... maybe he doesn't know his wife is there.::Defense Secretary Swenson: [shaking his head] He knows.::[Groeteschele finishes writing something onto some paper]::Prof. Groeteschele: Gentlemen, we are wasting time.::Prof. Groeteschele: [walking to the podium] I've been making a few rough calculations based on the effect of two twenty megaton bombs dropped on New York City in the middle of a normal workday. I estimate the immediate dead at about three million. I include in that figure those buried beneath the collapsed buildings. It would make no difference, Admiral Wilcox, whether they reached a shelter or not. They would die just the same. Add another million or two who will die within about five weeks. Now our immediate problem will be the joint one of fire control and excavation. Excavation not of the dead, the effort would be wasted there. But even though there are no irreplaceable government documents in the city, many of our largest corporations keep their records there. It will be necessary to... rescue as many of those records as we can. Our economy depends on this.::Prof. Groeteschele: [walking disgustedly back to his seat before noisily opening and closing his briefcase] Our economy depends on this.::[after closing briefcase]::Prof. Groeteschele: And the Lord said, gentlemen, "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone."

[last lines]::Brigadier General Warren A. Black: The Matador, the Matador... me... me

The President: How did you get to be a translator, Buck? You don't seem the academic type.::Buck: [nervously] I guess I have a talent for languages, sir. I hear a language once I pick it right up. I don't even know how. They found out about it in the Army.::The President: You sound sorry they did.::Buck: No, sir. It's a very interesting job. [pauses] That is, most of the time.::The President: Well, you did a good job today, Buck.::Buck: Thank you, sir. All I did was repeat what he said.::The President: You didn't freeze up. Another man might have.::Buck: You're the one who didn't, sir.::The President: I wonder what it's like outside? Looked like rain before.::Buck: The radio said it would clear by the afternoon.

Defense Secretary Swenson: The President says he may have to order our fighters to shoot down Group Six. He wants our opinion.::Prof. Groeteschele: I oppose it, sir, on the grounds that it's premature. Our planes have not yet reached Soviet territory, they're still hundreds of miles away.::Brigadier General Warren A. Black: We've got to do it, and fast! Right now before it's too late!::Gen. Stark: It might be too late anyway. Those fighters swung away from the bombers when they got the all-clear signal, they've been flying in opposite directions.

Gen. Stark: They're good men, we've seen to that. If their orders are attack, the only way you're going to stop them is to shoot them down.::Brigadier General Warren A. Black: We've got no alternative! This minute the Russians are watching their boards, trying to figure out what we're up to. If we can't convince them it's an accident we're trying to correct by any means, we're going to have something on our hands that nobody bargained for, and only a lunatic wants!

Gen. Bogan: Sergeant Collins! On the double!::[Collins races to General Bogan at the main communication board of SAC headquarters]::Gen. Bogan: You're backup man on fire control, aren't you?::TSgt. Collins: Yes sir.::Gen. Bogan: Do our Vindicator missiles have both infrared and radar-seeking capacity?::TSgt. Collins: [tentatively] Yes sir.::Gen. Bogan: [grabbing Collins forcefully toward the radio mike] Loud and clear! They've got to know we're on the level!::TSgt. Collins: [fearfully] It has both capacities, sir!::Marshall Nevsky: [Over the radio] Can the radar-seeking mechanism be overloaded by increasing the strength of the signal?::Gen. Bogan: Tell him!::TSgt. Collins: [fearfully] Yes, sir. It can be overloaded, by increasing the power output and sliding through radar frequencies as fast as possible, what happens is the firing mechanism reads the higher amperage as proximity to the target, and detonates the warhead.::Marshall Nevsky: [Over the radio] Thank you General Bogan, we will get back to you.::Gen. Bogan: [quietly] That's all, Sergeant.::[Collins slowly returns to his station within the mammoth bunker, head bowed down in shame]::Congressman Raskob: What does it mean?::Gordon Knapp: We've told them how to blow up our air-to-air missiles, and with them our planes.

Prof. Groeteschele: In my opinion they will take no action at all.::Gen. Stark: They're not going to just sit there, Professor::Prof. Groeteschele: I think if our bombers get through the Russians will surrender.::Gen. Bogan: Who's this professor, Mr. Secretary? What's he doing there?::Defense Secretary Swenson: Professor Groeteschele is a civilian advisor to the Pentagon, General. Will you explain your statement, Professor?::Prof. Groeteschele: The Russian aim is to dominate the world. They think that Communism must succeed eventually if the Soviet Union is left reasonably intact. They know that a war would leave the Soviet Union utterly destroyed. Therefore, they would surrender.::Gen. Stark: But suppose they feel they can knock us off first?::Prof. Groeteschele: They know we might have a doomsday system, missiles that would go into action days, even weeks after a war is over and destroy an enemy even after that enemy has already destroyed us.::Brigadier General Warren A. Black: Maybe they'll think that even capitalists aren't that insane, to want to kill after they themselves have been killed.::Prof. Groeteschele: These are Marxist fanatics, not normal people. They do not reason they way you reason, General Black. They're not motivated by human emotions such as rage and pity. They are calculating machines. They will look at the balance sheet, and they will see they cannot win.::Defense Secretary Swenson: Then you suggest doing what?::Prof. Groeteschele: [leans forward] Nothing.::Defense Secretary Swenson: Nothing?::Prof. Groeteschele: The Russians will surrender, and the threat of Communism will be over, forever.::Gen. Bogan: That's a lot of hogwash. Don't kid yourself, there'll be Russian generals who will react just as I would - the best defense is a good offense. They see trouble coming up, take my word for it, they'll attack, and they won't give a damn what Marx said.::Prof. Groeteschele: Mr. Secretary, I am convinced that the moment the Russians know bombs will fall on Moscow, they will surrender. They know that whatever they do then, they cannot escape destruction. Don't you see, sir, this our chance. We never would have made the first move deliberately, but Group 6 has made it for us, by accident. We must take advantage of it - history demands it. We must advise the President not to recall those planes.
