  • goof: During the Sam and Carla discussion when Derek is in the other room with all the patrons, the positioning of the beer bottles on the tray on the bar changes between shots. edit »
  • For the entire episode, the black and white picture of Sam behind the bar is missing. edit »
  • We never see Derek's face, as the bar regulars are always in the way of the camera. We do see the back of his head and hear his voice however. edit »
  • Carla: Hey Sam, you ever thought for a minute about...you and me?
    Sam: (hesitates) You're too much woman for me, Carla.
    Carla: (smiles) You're a wise man, Sam. edit »
  • Sam: "Hard to get" for me used to mean sitting through dinner. edit »
  • Sam: Quiet, empty, dimly lit...
    Diane: Ah, much like your mind. edit »
  • Coach: Sam, a nuclear bomb just hit Boston.
    Sam and Diane: (in unison) Derek's here.
    Coach: You're catching on. edit »
  • Carla: Hey Sam, you want me to hang around until your date gets here.
    Sam: No, you probably want to get on home.
    Carla: Are you kiddin'? It's two am, my kids might be there. edit »
