Character mistake: James mentioned to Florida that he always knew his father was alive (after claiming to Florida he was dead in the past). But since James hasn't seen or heard from him in 35 years, there would really be no way for James to know that his father was still alive for sure - more like just a guess than certainty.

Question: Neck Bone and Sweet Pea are referred to by Florida as their real names, Tyrone and Sylvester. Do we know which name goes to which guy? (I've always wondered this).
Answer: Neck Bone is Sylvester and Sweet Pea is Tyrone.

For some reason, I always thought it was the other way around but really no way of knowing. I'm assuming your answer is based on how Florida looks their directions near the end of the episode while saying their names.
They are listed as such on IMDb.com. So it is possible to check. Doug Grant played Sweet Pea and Michael D. Roberts played Neck Bone.
