The whole enterprise is endangered when Herman, their original cash source, shows up... Written by Rod Crawford

Trivia When Sadie tells Mae that the surest place to find Duffy is at "Sloppy Moe's" - that is undoubtedly a reference to the original Sloppy Joe's Bar in Old Havana, Cuba. Financially devastated by the 1959 revolution and finally closed by a fire in the 1960's, it has been restored and reopened in 2013. See more »
Goofs When Duffy comes over to Mae and Sadie's hotel room to open a bottle of beer; he ends up spraying beer on Mae's dress and staining it. But on the very next cut when Mae goes to check on Deacon, her dress is now clean and stain free. See more »

Quotes Mae Knight: I was laid off for turning down a stag affair in Passaic.
Sadie Appleby: Well, I don't blame ya. We've still got a little pride left. You're not so low you have to let 'em throw pennies at ya!
Mae Knight: Throw 'em? In Passaic, they use slinghots.
