Quotes

add »
Mark (to Warren, as he tries to rap): You have created a level of lameness that can only be recreated under pure laboratory conditions. (edit)
Warren: I fear losing my virginity would compromise my intense spirituality. (edit)
Warren: I'm just rappin' with Stella. (edit)
Jennifer (as Ed waffles about whether to attend the wedding or not): The average person has 26,452 days on this earth. Do you really want to spend one of them watching Carol Vessey marry Dennis Martino? (edit)
Warren (to Stella while they eat ice cream in the cemetary): Here we are enjoying all this creamy deliciousness and there they are, dead. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Phil's Scheme: After finding out that Curits and Desmond are splitting up, Phil attempts to wow them with his comedic ability. He hopes to be picked as a replacement. His performance does little to impress the DJs or the audience. (edit)
$10 Bet: Mike bets Ed to play song A55 on the jukebox. Ed does and the jukebox starts playing "It's Raining Men". Everyone stares at Ed. Mike laughs. (edit)
When Carol goes to Stuckey Bowl to make sure that Ed goes to wedding the bowling pins behind Ed change from 10 to 2 to 10 again (edit)

Allusions

add »
Ed: Jennifer, when you're going to break up a wedding you've got to do something big. You've got to do...you've got to do the pounding on the window and the screaming 'Elaine.....!'

This is an allusion to the end of The Graduate when Benjamin pounds on the church window, breaks into the ceremony, and whisks Elaine away from her wedding. (edit)
