Goofs

The director makes a couple of errors in describing the plot of the "Karate Kid" to Annie. He states that Mr. Miyagi fought against his own people during World War II, when in both the film and in reality, Japanese Americans were sent to the European theater and fought the Germans and Italians rather than their own people. The director also says that Miyagi's child died in childbirth, forgetting the fact that Miyagi's wife died at the same time.

Quotes

Elroy Patashnik: ...They took my snake and they turned it into a plumber. They made the eggs into barrels. The pine tree they made into a gorilla but I recognize my design. Donkey Kong my ass! That's Construction Snake.
Jeff Winger: I don't practice law anymore.
Elroy Patashnik: But we have a case right?
Jeff Winger: Isn't everyone you'd be suing dead?
Elroy Patashnik: That's not cool man.
Britta Perry: Why would a tree throw eggs at a snake?
Elroy Patashnik: WHY WOULD A PLUMBER BE FIGHTING A MONKEY?
