Trivia

David Letterman appears as the "Old Salt in the Fishing Village", but the credits list him as "Earl Hofert". This is an inside joke for Letterman fans, as he also referred to himself as "Hofert" in some skits back at his old program Late Night with David Letterman on NBC. In real life, Hofert is an uncle of Letterman's on his mother's side. See more »

Quotes

Trina: Are you sure this is what you want?
Nathanial Mayweather: Yeah! I am sure. I've permanently yanked the silver spoon from my mouth, and I buried it 6,000 miles beneath the Earth's crust.
[pause]
Nathanial Mayweather: I mean, figuratively speaking, of course. I mean, who could do such a thing? That would be insane.
