The Joni Mitchell song Dolores mentions must be "Big yellow taxi" with the line "Don't it always seem to go, That you don't know what you've got, Till it's gone" It makes sense since she's talking about her ill cat. edit »

George (V/O): The day I dropped out of college, I remember lying on my bed. My mother came into my room, and she'd been crying. She stared at me for a long time and then she said, "You only have one shot at life, Georgia. This is no dress rehearsal." And I said, "You know what, Mom? Maybe I don't even want to be in the play." A month later I was killed. I wonder sometimes if someone was listening. edit »

Eddie Rabbit
The pet bunny on death's door punningly shares his name with a musical personality. Eddie Rabbit (1941-1998) was a country and R&B singer who was very popular in the late 70's and 80's. edit »
George: Some drunken writer once said that there are no great second acts in life.

Writer F. Scott Fitzgerald was the one who claimed that 'there are not second acts in life', and he was indeed an alcoholic. edit »
