Trivia: In the movie Barry buys lots of Healthy Choice pudding to get the frequent flier miles. In real life Healthy Choice had this actual promotion and there was a news story about a man who bought a lot of the pudding and got enough free miles to fly his family on quite a few trips to other countries.
Trivia: Philip Seymore Hoffman is in every one of Paul Anderson's movies.
Barry: I wanted to ask you something because you're a doctor... I don't like myself sometimes. Can you help me?
Walter: Barry, I'm a dentist. What kind of help do you think I could give you?
Lena: People are just crazy in this world, I think.
Lena: Oh... I'm sorry... was that like a secret pudding?
