Revealing mistakes: When Ben has suffocated the little kid by putting a pillow on his face, the body stops stumbling and is supposedly dead, but the chest still makes breathing movements. Revealing mistakes: At the very beginning of the film when Ben strangles the woman, she closes her eyes to show she has died, but then she opens them and then continues to blink until the scene fades. CHAR: At the beginning, Benoît says that four times a child's body weight is needed to sink a dead child. However, at the bar where they drink Dead Baby Boys, Benoît asks René for the weight ratio needed to sink a child, to which René replies "Twice," and Benoit says, "Right!" CHAR: When Ben and Valerie play a duet together, he informs her to play in 4/4 time when the song they play is actually in 3/4 time. Revealing mistakes: When Ben plays the piano, his hands play out of sync with the music. CHAR: When Ben gets a holster for his birthday, he asks them to bring his revolver so he can try it out. But they don't bring a revolver, they bring him a semi-automatic pistol. |

Ben: You can tan while you make love. When you're through you've got a brown ass. Ben: *Bingo*! Ben: Granny Snuff, ever been snuffed out? Ben: Did you make caca? Ben: If you kill a whale, you get Greenpeace and Jacques Cousteau on your back, but wipe out sardines and you get a canning subsidy! Ben: Once I buried two Arabs in a wall over there... Facing Mecca, of course. Ben: Usually I start the month with a postman. |
