Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJames Toback claims in the DVD director's commentary that Michael V. Gazzo, who was fond of a drink, bribed him for a pitcher of Bloody Marys, in exchange for an unscripted line that would "make the scene" in question: the line was "I should have strangled you in your crib." and Gazzo delivered it "under the influence", Toback having been true to his word.

Julie: My what?
Jimmy: Your pussy.
Julie: How do you know that?
