      Marissa leaves the bar without her purse. When the gang finds Marissa passed out in the alley, at first Ryan is not holding the purse. However, when Ryan runs over to check on her he has the purse in his hand and sets it down. He then grabs the purse as he picks up Marissa from the ground. Yet in the next shot while Ryan is seen carrying Marissa, you can clearly spot the purse laying on the ground.

      Marissa: Hey, we're lucky that guy even stopped for us.

      Summer: Well, we'd be even luckier if Cole Trickle here hadn't driven us off the road!

      Seth: Who the hell is Cole Trickle?

      Summer: Ugh, Tom Cruise? Days of Thunder?

      Marissa: Hey guys, can we try to be positive here?

      Seth: Yeah, okay, I am positive that this is Summer's fault.

      Summer: I am positive that I am leaving this place with a rash.

      Seth: Oh, so you're planning on making some extra money tonight?
