- TriviaThe tune Linda plays on the violin is "Kinderszenen, Op. 15, No. 7", popularly known as the "Traumerei," by Robert Schumann.
- GoofsDuring the classroom scene where the children are trying to name the instruments, two musical staves are chalked onto the blackboard. The top one, marked with the G clef (often referred to as treble clef) has 4 lines instead of the correct 5. The sharps in the key signature are also therefore incorrect-the second sharp (c#) should be one space lower. After the 5th line is added at the bottom, the clef also needs to go down a line-it should circle the second line from the bottom.
- Quotes
Linda: [to Mike about working as a custodian at the school] This is the first job anybody would ever give me. My mom said I will get fired, but my dad said, "Go for it, cupcake," so I went for it.
Mike Fulton: Well, I'm glad you did.
Linda: I always wanted to go to regular school like everybody else, but they wouldn't let me because I was too dumb.
[starts laughing]
Linda: Isn't that funny?
Mike Fulton: Well, why is that funny?
Linda: The man said I wasn't smart enough to get in regular school and now I go to regular school every day. And the same man has to pay me for it.
[starts laughing harder]
Linda: I'm not too dumb!
