Aaron Altman: Ok, I'll meet you at the place near the thing where we went that time.
Aaron: I say it here, it comes out there.
Aaron: Here's a good one. They allow us to have cameras at an execution in Florida. Do you broadcast tape of the guy in the chair when they turn on the voltage?
Martin Klein: Sure.
Jennifer Mack: Why not?
Ernie Merriman: Absolutely.
George Wein: You bet.
Aaron: Nothing like wrestling with a moral dilemma, is there?
Other mistake: How could Jane not be aware that Tom had only used one camera for the date rape interview, recording his fake tears later? That's the way things are done on television news shows and as an experienced, hard-bitten television producer she could not possibly be unaware of that. The reporter always records his or her reaction shots (called 'noddies') after the interviewee has left. Shooting with two cameras would involve two crews, two lighting rigs, a vision switcher and so on and so on and a straightforward interview simply would not justify such a complex and expensive set up.
Trivia: Stephen Mendillo is only eight years older than his on-screen son William Hurt.
