Revealing mistake: When Kramer is walking through the airport and all the cult members come after him and he's flipping them behind him, look down to the lower left and you can see the mat they are landing on. (00:54:50)
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Rumack: I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
