When Betsy (Kirsten Dunst) and Arlene (Michelle Williams) crank call Woodward (Will Ferrell) and Bernstein (Bruce McCulloch), Arlene says that she is the "British Ambassador's daughter". This could be a veiled reference to Carl Bernstein's later affair with Margaret Jay, who was the daughter of British Prime Minister James Callaghan and married to the then-British Ambassador to the U.S. (which eventually became the subject of the novel and film, Heartburn (1986), by Bernstein's aggrieved ex-wife, Nora Ephron).
Bob Woodward:
You're Deep Throat?
When Nixon is making his walk to the helicopter (after he has resigned) some of the Marine honor guard are holding M16A2 rifles (you can tell by the round hand grips); they were not used by the military until the early 80's.
The characters and incidents portrayed and the names herein are fictitious, and any similarity to the name, character, or history of any person is entirely coincidental and unintentional.
The DVD features a deleted dream sequence which apperantly happens right after Arlene burns all of her Nixon memorabilia. It basically is an extension of the first dream, with here discovering a tape recorder in Dick's back, and then dreams that he is some sort of evil being.
Betsy Jobs:
Yeah, we both are.
Bob Woodward:
How old are you?
Betsy Jobs:
Twenty-three.
Bob Woodward:
Is that your combined ages?
Betsy Jobs:
There's no need to be snotty.
