    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The death erection shown when Nate and Frederico pick up the body from the morgue circumvented HBO's standards and practices. HBO prohibited showing a male in an aroused state, so an actor with a penile pump was used. The actor pumped his genitals to an erect state before filming. At no time was the actor aroused during the scene.
    • Goofs
      Mrs. Swanson attempts to remove the watch from her dead husband's perfectly flexible corpse in the casket. Embalmed bodies resemble wax statues, thus this flexibility would not be possible.

      Brenda Chenowith: We're all wounded. We carry our wounds around with us throughout life and eventually they kill us. Things happen that leave a mark in space, in time... in us.
