    • Goofs
      While Fran & Sylvia talk in the kitchen, there is a box of "Wheat Toasties" cereal with the lid up to show the name. Max enters and the box is facing the way of that camera and the lid goes up and down depending from the camera angle and frame. But Sylvia had gone to the refrigerator and Fran had her hands full (and dirty) with cold cuts. The box keeps changing position and lid up/down between frames. Wheat Toasties appears to be a fictitious product.
    • Quotes

      Sylvia Fine: [Fran, Sylvia, and Val walk into an exclusive clothing store] Apparently, it's so exclusive they don't even let the clothes in.
