Corrected entry: When Jack Campbell purchases rock salt (for $4.99), the female customer ahead of him has a bottle of Diet Coke on the counter. The angel calls out '99 cents darling' and she hands over a one-dollar bill. The angel then not only says 'out of ten' but promptly hands the female customer $ 9.01 in change. (01:38:39)

Correction: There isn't a mistake but it isn't a gift. It's a test to see if she would speak up and say that she only gave him a dollar and that he gave her too much change. That's why he says " Character. You see that? And for what, a lousy nine bucks?"

Corrected entry: When Jack has gone to Kate's apartment, her assistant interrupts them, complaining about working for her "ex-boss" on Christmas Eve. Kate looks at her and says, "You weren't complaining when I gave you that pot of bag" instead of "bag of pot."

Correction: She says "Prada bag", not pot of bag.

Continuity mistake: When Kate is eating the olives at the Christmas party it shows her with only one left. It then cuts back to Jack Campbell and when it cuts back to Kate she suddenly has two left on the toothpick.

Arnie: A little flirtation is harmless but you're dealing with fire here. The fidelity bank and trust is a tough creditor. You make a deposit somewhere else, they close your account - forever.

Question: In the scene on the stairs with the chocolate cake when he pushes cake in Kate's face - was that supposed to happen? I ask because she is laughing so hard, and after a second or 2, Nicolas looks up as if to look at the director.

Answer: Http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Family-Man, -The.html ///// In section 69 /// jack (out of breath) I want it... She looks at him, then takes the whole piece in her hand and smooshes it right in his mouth... Beat. Then, Jack starts laughing... jack (CONT'D) Thank you... KATE It's good, right? He takes a big clump of it and smooshes it in her mouth. They stay there a moment, lying on the stairs, feeding each other cake, laughing. Jack leans back on the stairs. He looks at Kate's face, practically covered in cake, smiling, and realises... ...he hasn't laughed like this in thirteen years. Then.

Triviani

Is it clear if that's a transcript of the film or the original shooting script? Because if the former it doesn't really answer the question.

Jon Sandys

That's the original script. A transcript of the film after it has come out does not contain blocking information or information about the character's mindset. Those only contain dialogue and the name of the music scores playing similar to movie subtitles. An original script contains blocking and the character's mindset to give the actors/film crew an idea of what to do and the meaning of the scene.
