HRC: A Film by Oliver Stone

Fade in. Bedroom scene—night. The phone rings. We hear the noises of a man groggily waking up. His hand reaches for the clock on the bedside table. It is 3:30 a.m. He turns on the bedside light, and we see a photo of President Bush and Congressman Jim Leach shaking hands. The photo is inscribed, “To Jim, Thanks for all you’ve done, George Bush.” The man answers the phone.

Congressman Leach: [groggy] Yeah? Who is this?
