    • Goofs
      When Ben and Sarah get off the train they leave all their personal belongings (Ben's laptop, and Sarah's purse and luggage). Later, in the laundromat, Sarah's wallet gets stolen from her handbag, but she'd left all that on the train.
    • Quotes
      • Ben Holmes: Quoting Bishop Jeremy Taylor, "Marriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life; it hath more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful."
