Quotes
SanDeE*:
I don't put any pressure on you, do I?
Harris:
Not at all... I don't pressure you, do I?
SanDeE*:
No, no, I just don't think there should be any pressure.
Harris:
No. Tell me if I pressure you.
SanDeE*:
OK. And you too, but don't feel like you have to.
Goofs
When Harris tries to tell SanDeE* that he can't go to Santa Barbara, the busker (guitarist) at the left is playing non-stop but doesn't make a sound.
Crazy Credits
SanDeE* (Sarah Jessica Parker) is very peculiar about how her name is spelled. Still, the character is listed as "Sandy" in the credits.
Alternate Versions
A deleted scene featuring John Lithgow was reinstated in the cable-tv version of the film.
