Quotes
Beth Gallagher:
You better get going kiddo, we're gonna be late.
Goofs
When Dan is getting dressed after having sex, Alex is still in bed and her breasts are exposed. Then the covers are up to her neck, back to the foot of the bed, and then to the side where she's once more covered.
Crazy Credits
Barbara Harris is sometimes credited under the name Barbara Iley. In the final credits here, under 'Party Guests', she is credited under both names.
Alternate Versions
In the network version shown on TNT in the scene where Alex phones Dan at 2:13 a.m., there is additional dialogue between Dan and Beth after Dan hangs up the phone that is not in the theatrical/DVD version. Beth asks, "Who in the hell was that?" Dan says that it was a client calling and that this happens when you're a lawyer (being called at odd hours). Beth says that it's the middle of the night, still wondering why someone would call at 2:15 a.m. Dan justifies this by saying it's only 11:00 or so in L.A.
