- Quotes
Babe: [reading a poem Deeds wrote for her] "Hard to breathe / Feels like floating / So full of love my heart's exploding. / Mouth is dry / Hands are shaking / My heart is yours for the taking. / Acting weird / Not myself / Dancing around like the Keebler elf. / Finally time / for this poor schlubb / To know how it feels to fall in lub."
Longfellow Deeds: I couldn't find any other words that rhyme with "schlub..."
[Babe pulls Deeds towards her and the two kiss for one long moment]
Babe: Oh, Deeds... oh, I am so sorry...
[breaks into tears and runs away]
Longfellow Deeds: No, don't be... I mean, that was my first kiss too...

Continuity: At the press conference, when Emilio is told he is the sole heir, he is standing on a balcony. In the shot immediately after it, he suddenly appears at the podium.
This was listed as a Goof. I don't think the person that wrote this watched the whole movie. If they did, they would not have under estimate the sneakiness of Emilio. He pops-up many time throughout the movie like this. It's what makes him funny in this COMEDY! If you have seen the movie you would know that Emilio is very very sneaky. So this was not a mistake. Duh!
