Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Gittle pours milk into a pan so she can make warm milk - but she only leaves it on stove for about five seconds. See more »

Quotes

Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: Things aren't even-Steven with us, Jerry. You do all the giving. What I have to give, you don't want. And what I want, you can't give. Doesn't matter if I learn shorthand or to play a bugle standing on my head. If you don't love me, you don't love me. And time isn't gonna make one lousy bit of difference.
