    • Trivia
      As Javier (Jon Cryer) is talking on the phone while walking to Henry's hospital room, he says "It's a story about manure salesmen, no one will care at all!" Mark Polish, who plays Henry, wrote and starred in "The Smell Of Success" about manure salesmen.
    • Goofs
      When Henry was being interviewed by the WRHS TV Host all the students were watching the interview on the school TV. When they showed Shasta, she had no worried or shocked facial expressions to Henry's beat up face, as the WRHS TV Host did when she saw is face the first time he sat down to do the interview. Instead Shasta had a smile, as if there was nothing wrong with his face. It is certain that her character would not react in this type of calm manner.
    • Quotes

      Shasta O'Neil: A good hug is just like unlock all of those years paint of pain.

      Henry McCarthy: One good hug would probably get me lock up for another year good of 20 years of pain.
