Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the debate about whether Baja California is on Daylight Savings Time (which it is not because it's in Mexico, rather than the U.S.), Kim says, "Everyone in the United States is on Daylight Savings Time." This is actually not true - Arizona, Hawaii, and most of Indiana do not observe the twice-annual changing of clocks.

Quotes:

Rebecca: You like me right now, and you love sports, and I think when you see those two things in a room together at the same time, I'm going to look a little less like what you want.
Dan Rydell: I think you're wrong.
Rebecca: I have to go back to my office.
Dan Rydell: First of all, what makes you so sure I like you right now?
Rebecca: Well, you follow me everywhere I go and you ask me out all the time.
Dan Rydell: You're reading way too much into that.
