Goofs:
Errors in geography: Laundromat scene was supposed to be in Tucumcari, N.M. The town of Tucumcari is larger and has no tall, red-rock mountains in the background. It's on the edge of the high plains, but does have some small mesas west of town.

Quotes:
[first lines]
Charlie: [on telephone] Now it's five and a half weeks and I'm still sitting on four Lamborghinis that can't meet spot emissions standards. Now, how many times you wash out with EPA?
Lenny: [on a separate line] Uh, yes sir, they're finally, uh, clearing EPA; uh, just one or two more days.
Charlie: Three times? You're really on a roll here, my friend; four cars, three times each - that's zip for twelve. What are you, a... mechanic, or a NASA engineer? Now listen, now, I told you I've never dealt with these Lamborghinis before, and yet you assured me that you can deliver these cars within that time frame. Don't, don't tell me that, 'cause I - I'm not even listening.

When something's engraved on one's memory (that false name in a child's memory -- Raymond vs. RainMen), willingly or otherwise, one'd just have to open up, or one choose to open up eventually! - - beyond bond, beyond relationship or blood, it's one realizing him/herself, one accepting the truth and everything not anticipated! - - things change! for good for bad, that's life! -- an absolutely beautiful and sad story - slowly evolving, the magic of it was within the progression of the story, yet the ending was nothing but sadly usual, predictable -- when legal business' got involved - that makes a full story doesn't it?! Following the story, that just realistically mean the end of many other things -- like this magic beautiful story!
