Dr. Benjamin Stone: You want to trade, the pig for the part?
Melvin the Mechanic: If you can part with the pig.
Dr. Benjamin Stone: Good.
Trivia: It was while working on this movie that Michael J. Fox noticed the shaking of his hands which were the symptoms of Parkinson, the disease which prevents him from taking an active role ever since. His flexing his hands on the steering wheel at the beginning of the movie is him trying to keep his hands still.
Question: Why do the Owens go to the doctors to have their mail read? Even a small town like Grady would have a librarian, not to mention they certainly have friends who can read.

Answer: That's just the long-standing relationship they had with Doc Hogue and assumed it would continue with Dr. Stone. Hogue was more than a doctor to the town folk. He was a strong father-figure that everyone felt they could go to for a variety of reasons. Also, this is a comedy film, so the characters and their situations are deliberately cliched and quirky.
