Goofs

George Michael says that the stair car's mirrors will make the sunset look closer. Actually, side mirrors read that "objects in mirror are closer than they appear." So, the sunset would actually be closer but appear more distant.

George Michael said this as a ruse to avoid getting up in front of Maeby.

Quotes
