Quotes:
Valerie: I have seen the collapse of government after government, and they all think they can last a thousand years. Each new one always declares the last one criminal and corrupt, and always promises a future of justice and freedom.
Gustave: I'll never forgive you, you know.::Valerie: For what?::Gustave: For marrying him instead of me.
Valerie: Politics has made a mess of our lives.
Ignatz Sonnenschein: You are entering a new world where you will certainly be successful because you have knowledge. Study has always been our religious duty as jews. Our exclusion from society has given us an ability to adapt to others and to sense connections between things that seem diverse. But if you feel you have power, you are mistaken. If you feel you have the right to put yourself ahead of others because you think you know more than they do, you are wrong. Never allow yourself to be driven into the sin of conceit. Conceit is the greatest of sins. The source of all other sins.
Adam Sors: Never give up your religion. Not for God. God is present in all religions. But if your life becomes a struggle for acceptance, you'll always be unhappy. Religion may not be perfect, but it is a well-built boat that can stay balanced and carry you to the other shore. Our life is nothing but a boat adrift on water balanced by permanent uncertainty. About the people whom you will judge, know this; all they do is struggle to find a kind of security. They're just people, like us. Therefore you mustn't judge them on the basis of appearance or hearsay. Trust no one. Examine all things yourself. Do not join with power. Despise all rank. Do not be ostentatious with what is yours. Owning possessions and property ultimately comes to nothing. Possessions and property can be consumed by fire, swept away by flood, taken away by politics. Do not undertake what you do not know. This causes anxiety which makes you ill. Exercise discipline.
Ivan Sors: For the first time in my life, I walked down the street without feeling like I was in hiding. My great grandfather Emmanuel must have been the last Sonnenschein to feel like this. I knew the only way to find meaning in my life, my only chance in life, would be to account for it. My grandmother's words return to me; "Try to photograph what's beautiful in life." By the time I finish this story, the third tragic misadventure of the 20th century was over. After the monarchy and fascist rule, the communist regime also went up in smoke. I remembered the recipe book that we had lost and suddenly realized that the family secret was not to be found on its pages. It was preserved by my grandmother. The only one in our family who had the gift of breathing freely.
Valerie Sors: My darling, you are not in prison. They are.
Adam Sors: We are afraid to see clearly and of being seen clearly.
Ivan Sors: [speaking to the graveside of Andor Knorr] Andor Knorr, one of your murderers has come to your grave, to say goodbye to you. I was your first interrogator, someone who you trained to defend the cause without mercy. We believed we were going to make the world better place for people, but, instead, we made it so much worse. As servants of power-hungry criminals, we became criminals. Our politicians lied to the people by saying they were doing good. And then the people lied to the politicians by saying that they believed them. I'm not just saying goodbye to you. I'm also saying goodbye to myself. I stood by and watching my father be... tortured and executed, and I did nothing. Then I watched them do the same thing to you, and I did nothing. I make a promise here at your graveside, to do everything to punish those who have turned ideals into crimes.
Valerie: [talking to Ivan Sors] I left your grandfather once. I fell in love with another man. Your grandfather and I hadn't been getting along. He wasn't the sort of person I hoped he'd be. The other man was passionate, a wonderful lover. That is important, darling. He gave me an old medallion engraved with: "I love you."::Valerie: When your grandfather get in trouble with the Communists, I came back. You must try to find joy in your life.

Plot: Andrew Shepherd is approaching the end of his first term as President of the United States. He's a widower with a young daughter and has proved to be popular with the public. His election seems assured. That is until he meets Sydney Ellen Wade, a paid political activist working for an environmental lobby group. He's immediately smitten with her and after several amusing attempts, they finally manage to go on a date (which happens to be a State dinner for the visiting President of France). His relationship with Wade opens the door for his prime political opponent, Senator Bob Rumson, to launch an attack on the President's character, something he could not do in the previous election as Shepherd's wife had only recently died.

President Andrew Shepherd: I want to buy her some flowers. That's what men do when they break a date.::Robin McCall: That's not what men do. I know no men who do that.
[Looking through Andrew Shepherd's college transcript]::Sydney Ellen Wade: Oh, Andy, a C minus in Women's Studies.::President Andrew Shepherd: Yeah, well, that class wasn't about what I thought it was about.
[Ushering Sydney out of the White House after spending her first night there]::President Andrew Shepherd: I'm sorry about this. We'll do it better next time.::Sydney Ellen Wade: Well, I'm no expert but I think we did it pretty good this time.
Lewis Rothschild: Can I just state very clearly I can't be part of anything illegal.::A.J.: Good for you, Lewis.::Lewis Rothschild: Say what you want. It's always the guy in my job that ends up doing 18 months in Danbury minimum security prison.
Lewis Rothschild: Who're we calling, sir?::President Andrew Shepherd: I'm calling the Organization of the United Brotherhood of It's None of Your Damn Business, Lewis. I'll be with you in a second.
[ dancing at a state dinner]::Sydney Ellen Wade: I don't know how you do it.::President Andrew Shepherd: It's Arthur Murray. Six lessons.::Sydney Ellen Wade: That's not what I mean. Two hundred pairs of eyes are focused on you with two questions on their minds - who's this girl, and why is the President dancing with her?::President Andrew Shepherd: Well, first of all, the two hundred pairs of eyes aren't focused on me. They're focused on you. And the answers are Sydney Ellen Wade, and because she said yes.
President Andrew Shepherd: You're attracted to me, but the idea of physical intimacy is uncomfortable because you only know me as the President. But it's not always going to be that way, and the reason I know that is there was a moment last night when you were with ME, not the President. And I know what a big step that was for you. So, Sydney, I'm in no rush. Here's my plan. We're going to slow down, and when you're comfortable, that's when it's going to happen.::[Sydney emerges from the bathroom wearing nothing but one of his shirts]::President Andrew Shepherd: Perhaps I didn't properly explain the fundamentals of the slowdown plan.::Sydney Ellen Wade: [feeling the bed] No, you explained it great.::President Andrew Shepherd: Are you nervous?::Sydney Ellen Wade: No.::President Andrew Shepherd: Good. My nervousness exists on... several levels. Number one, and this is in no particular order, I haven't done this in a pretty long time. Number two, uh, any expectations that you might have, given the fact that I'm... you know...::Sydney Ellen Wade: [approaching seductively] The most powerful man in the world?::President Andrew Shepherd: Exactly, thank you. I think it's important you remember that's a political distinction that comes with the office. I mean, if, uh, Eisenhower were here instead of me, he'd be dead by now... and number three...::Sydney Ellen Wade: Andy...::[she kisses him]
[Right before their first kiss]::Sydney Ellen Wade: Do you think this is a good idea?::President Andrew Shepherd: Probably not.
Sydney Ellen Wade: Mr. President, you've got bigger problems than losing me. You just lost my vote.
A. J. MacInerney: The President doesn't answer to you, Lewis!::Lewis Rothschild: Oh, yes he does A.J. I'm a citizen, this is my President. And in this country it is not only permissible to question our leaders it's our responsibility!

Taglines: Only Patrick Hale can prevent a desperate president, the head of the CIA, a trigger happy general, terrorists, an arms dealer, and religious fanatics from destroying our world, But he has other things on his mind. If it doesn't happen on TV, it means nothing! A very funny look at the world. In a moment World War III... but first a word from our sponsor. Patrick Hale was invented for television. He's a superstar TV reporter whose special news broadcasts reach a billion people every day. And in the past ten hours, he has uncovered the most incredible story of his career. The bad news is: it involves the President, Vice-President, Director of the CIA, a trigger-happy general, an Arab terrorist, a European arms dealer, religious fanatics, and the result may be World War III.

But look at it from our standpoint. We've been counting on you. We trusted you. Uncle Sam needs the money. You don't build those rockets to the moon with Green Stamps, you know.
Professor Ned Brainard: You'd think those people at the Pentagon could've least have given us a couple hundred thousand out of petty cash, or something.
Professor Ned Brainard: The road to genius is paved with fumble-footing and bumbling. Anyone who falls flat on his face is at least moving in the right direction: forward. And the fellow who makes the most mistakes may be the one who will save the neck of the whole world some day.
Mr. Harker: Your tax bill for the first three Quarters of the current year. The figure includes delinquent penalties of $12,895 at 5% for the first two Quarters. All based on an estimate of projected earnings, of course.
Defense Secretary: Oh, you'll be recompensed. Goodness knows the Armed Services are never chintzy. Now what we do, we beard the Appropriations boys in Congress. Matter of fact, I'm putting two of my bravest financial officers on the mission.

Professor Ned Brainard: If need be, I'll bet you'd put your own mother in jail.::Mr. Harker: Funny you should mention that about Mom. A little matter of some unreported income from jams and jellies. We nailed her dead to rights!
