    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      During some scenes and rehearsals, director Mark Waters had Mark Ruffalo wear an earpiece to receive his lines from Reese Witherspoon, who was not on the set, replicating the situation depicted in the film where David has to relay Elizabeth's messages to the others who can neither see nor hear her.
    • Goofs
      When David and Elizabeth sit together and she reveals she doesn't want to waste what could be her final night, a large light box visibly hangs outside the window behind them. As the scene plays out, the fixture gives off harsh daylight during a night scene.
    • Quotes
      • Elizabeth Masterson: David?
      • David Abbott: What?
      • Elizabeth Masterson: Tell him thank you.
      • David Abbott: We're really grateful, Jack.
      • Jack Houriskey: I'm not doin' it for you.
      • David Abbott: Oh. Then why are you doing it?
      • Jack Houriskey: Because someday, trust me, I'm gonna need help movin' a body, and when that day comes, I don't wanna hear any shit from you.
    • Crazy credits
      The camera pans down from the DreamWorks logo to Dr. Elizabeth Masterson sitting in a foggy flower garden.
