Trivia

Several costumes used during the fancy dress party are actual superhero costumes with some tweaks.

Nathan (Robert Sheehan) is dressed as Mr. Incredible from The Incredibles (2004) with the I logo covered up and worked into a new symbol.

Quotes

Nathan Young: C'mon, man, it all adds up. Do the maths.
Simon Bellamy: There is no maths
Nathan Young: Right. She was here, plus no-one else was around. Times, she caught me leering at her semi-naked. Divided by, all the weird shit that happens to us. Equals guilty.
