On the Rocks

Character mistake: Dean told Laura that Fiona's toiletry case was in his bag because "She couldn't fit it in her carry-on, so I put it in my luggage." Laura (who had no reason to fabricate the story to her dad Felix) changed the details, which she couldn't know based on what Dean told her: "There were some of his co-worker's toiletries in his luggage. But she couldn't put them in her carry-on for security, so he offered to put them in his luggage." Unable to fit in isn't the same as "for security." (00:13:05 - 00:23:57)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: It looked like Theo's gold and white checked shoes were a few sizes too big and wide to make it easier and quicker for Laura to put them on her, but Laura still had some difficulty slipping on Theo's oversized shoes. The material even folded down around the ankle when Laura was putting on Theo's right shoe. (00:03:42)

Continuity mistake: When Theo says, "You can pull them [flowers] out if you want to", there's one flower that is slightly pulled away from the vase, drooping below the others. When Felix [Bill Murray] is next to the flowers, there is not a flower pulled out at first, but there is a few camera shifts later. (00:34:00 - 00:36:37)

Trivia: Felix ordered a "Cutty on the rocks" at the restaurant. "Cutty Sark" is a Scotch whisky ("whiskey" in the U.S. and Ireland), meaning it must be manufactured in Scotland. Mobsters (not meant to be referring to Felix) are known for ordering drinks by brand name, such as "Cutty on the rocks", but not "Scotch on the rocks." During U.S. prohibition (1920 - 1933), Cutty Sark became well-known as a bootlegged (illegally trafficked) liquor. (00:20:35)

Laura: Can a man never be satisfied with one woman?
Felix: Come on. That's hardwiring. Keeping the species alive. I mean, the woman passes through an emotional filter. Man doesn't pass through the emotional part. It goes directly from. The eyes to the ass.

Laura: It must be very nice to be you.
