Trivia

The Latin spoken by the priest at Fleurgendorf Prison on the way to the execution room is just random phrases, borrowed partly from the religious, medical and legal professions, with various other words and names thrown in (Rick Dureus). At one point, he also says in Pig Latin: "Ooreyay oingay ootay etgay iedfray in the airchay," which translates, "You're going to get fried in the chair." See more »

Quotes

Du Quois: Nick, whether you make it back or not, that plane must take off with Dr. Flammond at 1800 hours.
Deja Vu: That's why we recommend you be there at least 45 minutes before departure, especially at this time of year.
