Joey Naylor: [eating fast food, next to Ferris wheel, at the Santa Monica Amusement Pier] ... so what happens when you're wrong?\nNick Naylor: Whoa, Joey I'm never wrong.\nJoey Naylor: But you can't always be right...\nNick Naylor: Well, if it's your job to be right, then you're never wrong.\nJoey Naylor: But what if you are wrong?\nNick Naylor: OK, let's say that you're defending chocolate, and I'm defending vanilla. Now if I were to say to you: 'Vanilla is the best flavour ice-cream', you'd say...\nJoey Naylor: No, chocolate is.\nNick Naylor: Exactly, but you can't win that argument... so, I'll ask you: so you think chocolate is the end all and the all of ice-cream, do you?\nJoey Naylor: It's the best ice-cream, I wouldn't order any other.\nNick Naylor: Oh! So it's all chocolate for you is it?\nJoey Naylor: Yes, chocolate is all I need.\nNick Naylor: Well, I need more than chocolate, and for that matter I need more than vanilla.

But that's what I'm talking about.\nJoey Naylor: ...but you didn't prove that vanilla was the best...\nNick Naylor: I didn't have to.

Nick Naylor is a charismatic spin-doctor for Big Tobacco who'll fight to protect America's right to smoke -- even if it kills him -- while still remaining a role model for his 12-year old son. When he incurs the wrath of a senator bent on snuffing out cigarettes, Nick's powers of "filtering the truth" will be put to the test.
