    • Goofs
      At the exhibition, when Gwen is conversing with Bertram, Gwen accidentally and briefly looks at Frank (standing in the foreground), realizes then turns away giving the appearance of an act of embarrassment.
    • Quotes
      • Gwen: We just get the one life, you know. Just one. You can't live someone else's or think it's more important just because it's more dramatic. What happens matters. Maybe only to us, but it matters.
    • Crazy credits
      Directly after the end titles fade to black, there is a brief outburst of near-hysterical laughter. Ricky Gervais provides the voice.
