    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Beth (Anya Taylor-Joy) speaks with a really bad Spanish accent when she orders a drink in the zoo. Spanish is actually Taylor-Joy's mother first language.
    • Goofs
      The Mexican radio commentator uses "caballero" instead of "caballo". "Caballero" is the direct translation of knight, but in Spanish the name of the piece is "caballo" (horse).
    • Quotes
      • Mr. Shaibel: People like you have a hard time: two sides of the same coin. You've got your gift... and you've got what it costs. Hard to say for you what that will be.
