One of the kids throws jelly at Nick Cage and hits him in the head, and a piece of jelly with a cherry in it falls on his plate. The camera cuts away as Holly and her friend are talking about Paediatricians. Cut back to Cage and the jelly is gone from his plate. Back to Holly then back to Cage shows the jelly is back!

Continuity: When Cage sets up a camera to take the picture with Holly Hunter and the baby, the camera on the tripod is a Canon Sure Shot. When the shot zooms in on the camera as it goes off, it is a Nikon.
