Bryan: I'd respect your privacy more if you weren't so secretive.
Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: Well I'd tell you more if you didn't want to know so much.
Trivia: The house in the film was actually a very nice-looking and well-kept house in a wealthy area. It was purposefully trashed and "dumbed down" to look like a run-down "poor family" house just for the film.
Question: Who played Cynthia, Zach's girlfriend that he used the stolen petty cash to buy a necklace for? Nowhere in the film credits or on-line is the character or the actress listed.
