Nurse Cindy: Mr. Beaumont? Your son Jeffrey's here to see you.

Trivia
Besides the impact on his life of the naked lady, David Lynch says that the image of a severed ear and the mood of Bobby Vinton's 'Blue Velvet' song were two other major inspirations. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: During the first time Sandy and Jeffery hear Dorothy sing, the dress she ends with on stage is different than the dress she started with. However, this could simply be the result of a costume change between the sets of her performance. See more »Quotes
