Daryl: Don't touch it! It could get infected, Jesus! He could get anything - Tetanus, rabies, scabies, emphysema.
Trivia: When Christina and the kids are brought to the warehouse where the criminals are bringing stolen cars, one of the gangsters says, "Take the Brady Bunch upstairs." In the next scene we see Brenda waiting at the bus stop, and we can hear the Brady Bunch song being played on TV.
Question: When the kids were coming out of the hospital, Pruitt was there and said that Dawson was going to charge them $50 for the tire, which he knew they didn't have. Earlier in the movie when he saw them on the expressway, he said he would treat them to a tire as a nice gesture. He paid for the window because that was his fault, but why did he suddenly decide not to buy their tire for them when he knew they were flat broke?
Answer: He didn't decide not to buy them the tire. He said Dawson wouldn't let him buy it for them.
