 In one scene near the start of the film set in a Los Angeles  restaurant, two film producers (maybe agents) are having dinner with  two actresses. One of the actresses, played by Emily Procter (qv),  says "I think the nicest film about the film actually is that we get  to handle guns, and I had never done that before". That is one of  Procters two lines in Leaving Las Vegas. Coincidentally, Procter  now, years later, portrays a ballistics expert on CSI:Miami.
