    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Producer Bruce Gilbert recalls the first time Dolly Parton arrived with the title song "and played it on her fingernails." She sang it 'a cappella' and played the beat on her nails. "You gotta have falsies to do this," adds Parton, "and the nails have to be artificial as well."
    • Goofs
      Violet's taillights repair themselves after she's been stopped by the police.
    • Quotes
      • [a candy-striper, with a 'Buffy' nametag, approaches Violet who's hauling a dead corpse on a gurny under a sheet]
      • Buffy: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the coffee shop is?
      • Violet Newstead: [nervous tone] The what?
      • Buffy: The coffee shop.
      • Violet Newstead: The coffee shop? No, I'm new here, I don't drink coffee.
      • Buffy: I'm new here too. Where do you work?
      • Violet Newstead: Uh... downstairs.
      • Buffy: In the morgue?
      • Violet Newstead: [nervous tone] Yes, that's right!
      • Buffy: [looks at the body on the gurny] How did he... ?
      • Violet Newstead: Coffee... too much coffee. I'm just taking him out for some air. Uh, I mean fresh air for me, he's just coming along for the ride.
      • [Buffy gasps]
      • Violet Newstead: *What?*
      • Buffy: Oh, you're a doctor! I'm sorry, I didn't see your badge.
      • [Violet looks at the badge and finally realizes that the white lab coat she's stolen is a doctor's]
      • Violet Newstead: Oh yeah... I'm a doctor. So why the hell am I talking to you? Piss off!
    • Crazy credits
      Doralee Rhodes quit Consolidated and became a country and western singer.
    • Alternate versions
      HBO/Cinemax's version of the film on Closed-Captioning changes one word of dialogue. Violet says to Mr. Hart, angrily, "The boys in the club are threatened, and you're so intimidated by any woman that won't sit in the back of a bus." Closed-Captioning reads, "The boys in the club are threatened, and you're so intimidated by any woman who isn't submissive." HBO Max's showing of the movie, as of August 6, 2022, corrects this error.
