Episode Quotes

Joan Harris: Sandra, everyone makes mistakes, but the fact that you're the kind of person who cannot accept blame is egregious.
Sandy Schmidt: I don't know what that means.
Joan Harris: It means I can't believe I hired you.
Stephanie: Nobody knows what's wrong with themselves, and everyone else can see it right away.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (anachronisms): The imported Japanese monster film, Gamera, had not been released until after the date that the episode was set.
  • Goof (continuity error): Joan cuts her finger deeply during New Years Eve with Greg, requiring stitches. Yet 2-3 days later at the partners meeting, she has no bandage nor any sign of injury.
  • Goof (continuity error): The pattern of fresh paint on Anna's wall changes between consecutive shots.

Trivia

  • WILHELM SCREAM: About 48 minutes in, at the end of the theater scene.
