Quotes

Diver Dan: Monday's crossing began with the usual bad jokes and neurotic asides, but that's all behind us now. Tuesday's crossing is filled for anticipation for Wednesday's crossing!

Crazy Credits

After the credits end, there is a scene with several shots of the Mrs. Robert Jelly Bridge from different angles while Diver Dan broadcasts a code blue cyclone alert for all residents of the Pearl Bay region in which he says that seas are at two metres and still rising and the Clifford Highway is already impassable, and he forecasts that they are about to see the worst storm since the memorable deluge of 1987. After he tells folks to batten down the hatches and stay safe, the scene ends with a bolt working loose and then falling from the underside of the bridge.
