Donnie the Guide : Now, not too many people realize this, but the White House is actually three buildings: there's the East Wing, where you guys came in, there's the West Wing, which houses the Oval and Executive Offices of the president, and we're about to enter the residence, which is the big, famous building in the middle that got blown up in "Independence Day".

Cale : Wait, the White House burned down?
Donnie the Guide : Yeah, yeah, in the War of 1812. Practically had to be rebuilt from the ground up. When I look at this painting, I get very emotional.
