Trivia

Andrew is a NDR-114. This may be a tribute to Stanley Kubrick, who used the number 114 in multiple films (such as A Clockwork Orange and Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb). See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Andrew is walking through the park with Portia, his shirt is wide open. When they stop to talk, it is almost closed. When they walk again, it is open again. See more »

Quotes

Andrew Martin: [Immediately following the death of "Little Miss"] Will every human being that I care for just... leave?
Portia: I'm afraid so...
Andrew Martin: That won't do.
