Trivia

The scene where Newman decides on who gets to keep the bike is based on the biblical story "The Judgement of Solomon" (1 Kings 3:16-28). In the story, King Solomon is asked to decide - between two women - who should keep a child - one being the true mother. After some deliberation, King Solomon calls for a sword. He declares that there is only one fair solution: the live son must be split in two, each woman receiving half of the child. The boy's true mother then cries out, "Please, My Lord, give her the live child - do not kill him!" King Solomon instantly gives the baby to the real mother, realizing that the true mother's instincts were to protect her child.

Goofs

When George is talking about Susan's relationship to her cousin and her unborn child, he says that Susan and her cousin's child will be second cousins. This is incorrect - Susan and her cousin's child will be first cousins once removed.

Quotes

Jerry Seinfeld: "Seven"? Yeah, I guess I can see it: seven periods of school, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches per beating and eventually seven years to life.
