Running on Empty (1988)

Character mistake: Mr. Phillips told Michael (Danny) that he'd like him to apply for "early admission" to Julliard. Michael was a 17-year-old high school senior and had not yet auditioned for Julliard - the audition is to occur when a student his age is "entering 12th grade in the Fall of the academic year for which he is applying." It was too late to submit an application and an "early admission" was not possible at this point. (01:08:42)

Lorna: You are certifiable! What is this? Some sort of smart-ass joke? You're taking cooking?
Michael: I want to learn how to cook.
Lorna: Yeah, right. You have some burning desire to learn how to make apple brown betty.
Michael: What are you doing here if you think so highly of it?
Lorna: Well, they wouldn't let me take auto mechanics, and I didn't have time to take the issue to the Supreme Court.

Trivia: There are a lot of misconceptions about palm trees. Two major assertions are: (1) palm trees are NOT trees and (2) palm trees are grasses. The latter might prefer to call palm trees "grass trees." The answer of what palm trees are lies in its categorization as a "monocotyledon plant" (monocot for short). Monocots are grass and grass-like plants whose seeds have ONE (mono) embryonic leaf. That does not make palm trees grasses - they are monocots, as are grasses, orchids, some grains (e.g, corn).
