“There’s just one line I’d like to change,” says the American.

The dialogue doesn’t quite line up with the actor — the accent betrays that this is a Canadian production — but the look is down pat. Slicked back hair, Oliver Peoples glasses, a designer suit that seems better tailored than his Canadian counterpart’s. He could easily have been an extra in Wall Street or American Psycho. The two men are seated at a table, alone in a large, well-appointed room, going over paperwork. The American and Canadian flags are behind them. The men’s voices echo in the empty room, the color of the film is desaturated. A backroom deal is being worked out in plain sight.

“Which line is that?” asks the Canadian, incredulous.
