In order to make the film more convincing, Forest Whitaker not only consulted a large number of related books, but also visited senators, including the former presidential candidate Richard Gephard. The crew members even studied the history of the White House, visited the living room of George W. Bush’s daughter, and built a distinctive White House. The White House they formed was not entirely snow-white, but painted in many warm colors, including cream, red, aquamarine, and purple. Purple is the most used color in the play. Whitaker believes that this color is the most expressive and can make the film more full and warm.

Samantha Mackenzie: What was that?
James Lansome: I was just saying goodnight.
Samantha Mackenzie: What is this? Is this some kind of game to you James?
James Lansome: No.
Samantha Mackenzie: You don't have to pretend anymore.
James Lansome: You're an amazing girl.
Samantha Mackenzie: Would you stop it? Just stop lying to me.
James Lansome: What could I have given to you Sam? I don't have anything to offer you. You're the President's daughter for Christsake.
Samantha Mackenzie: I have spent, almost my entire life with people smiling at me. And laughing at my jokes. And telling me how special I am, and how great I am, and how nice, and smart. And right now, I don't know if any of that was true. Maybe it was all some kind of an act. I don't know. What if I was different? If I was just like everybody else James? How would you feel about me then?
James Lansome: You just don't get it. Things are different.
Samantha Mackenzie: What if they were? I think you at least owe me this. Forget image. Forget politics. Forget everything else but who I am right now in here. If things were different.
James Lansome: If things were different... I'd still follow you around all the time - because I wanted to, not because I had to.

Samantha Mackenzie: What are you doing?
James Lansome: A chocolate snack must be poured directly over the popcorn. That way you get that delicious salty sweet mixture, and a little melted chocolate. Sometimes you gotta break the rules. You never know when you're gonna get something inspired. Well, go on, Mackenzie. Break the rules.
