Goofs

Continuity: When Hollie is tap dancing at Mitch's memorial service, the microphone that she puts down on the stage moves between shots. SYNC: When Hollie is tap dancing we can hear the audience applauding her, yet in some shots from behind Hollie we can see that the audience is not actually clapping. Continuity: When the neighbors are loading Drew's belongings from the curb into their car near the beginning of the movie, there is a white box with holes in it (similar to a large wine rack). One of the guys loads this box into the car, but in the next shot it is back on the sidewalk with stuff piled on top of it. Continuity: An exterior shot of Drew's red-eye flight from LA to Nashville shows a Boeing 747 in flight. Later, as Drew is exiting the plane, it is a one-aisled, non-jumbo jet. Continuity: When Claire and Drew are in the ballroom, Claire is holding a champagne glass. When she steps up onto the platform area of the main table, she sets it down. Drew lifts her off and puts her down, and she doesn't have it, but in the next shot she is holding it again. Continuity: While Claire is talking to Drew on the airplane, the level of his drink goes from nearly empty with no ice to nearly full with a lot of ice. CHAR: At the end of the movie, Drew's voiceover says, "The motto of the British Special Service Airforce is 'those who risk, win'." The unit is actually called the "Special Air Service", it is a special forces unit and not an airforce at all, and the motto is "Who Dares Wins". Continuity: When Drew and Claire are on the phone, he washes and hangs up his socks. A short while later he has the same socks on (yellow and white). Later, he is wearing green socks. Crew: While Drew is Driving into Elizabethtown and is waving to all the townsfolk you can see reflections in the windows of some buildings, The reflections are of the car that Drew is in and it is on a trailer with a camera attached to the bonnet. Continuity: When Claire is leaving Drew's hotel room in the morning she has a flower in her right hand. In the next shot she takes the imaginary photo with empty hands. After this she walks away and rests the flower on the dressing table. Continuity: When Drew meets his cousin for the first time there is a boy on a push bike in the background. He continually during short shots, moves from the grass to down the road again. Continuity: At the memorial, when the people are leaving the room because of the fire, there's a shot of a woman taking away Drew's father's picture, a giant portrait in black and white. In the next shot, the picture is seen at the back of the room. Continuity: When Drew is arriving at the funeral home in Elizabethtown, he grabs his jacket and then closes the door of the vehicle. It then pans to his cousin Jesse for a few seconds. When it returns to Drew, he now is holding the blue suit. Continuity: When Drew is on his road trip that Claire planned out for him, we see a shot of him driving along a road, a lot of dust rising from the car behind him, due to driving on a gravel road. In the next shot, we see that he is clearly driving on a paved, cement road. SYNC: When Drew sees Samson in the car starting the engine, he runs towards it from the porch to grab the boy. As he begins to run off the porch, he yells "Hey!" at Samson, but his mouth does not move. Miscellaneous: Louisville International Airport does not have commercial 747's that land and taxi to a gate, because none of the air bridges at SDF are jumbo jet ready. DATE: The movie was set in current day and shows an American Airlines 747. AA discontinued use of the last of this aircraft on 12/29/94. The current AA uniforms are evident of this current day. Continuity: During the scene where the band is playing "Free Bird" and the hall catches fire, the banner across the stage burns in two and falls to either side. Later in the song there is a long shot of the band onstage and the banner is intact. Continuity: When Drew is on his trip planned by that Claire, we see a series of scenes suggesting that a lot of time passes. Drew browses through the book, changes CDs and from time to time takes a look at the father's urn. In these moments the book is opened always on the same page. Continuity: When Claire is talking with Drew on the couch, the position of her hand holding the glass of wine changes. Also the glass jumps from left hand to right and back. FAIR: When Drew is looking at his dad in the casket you can see his "dead" dad quite clearly crack a smile. However, based on the context of the story, this clearly was an attempt by the filmmakers to show Drew daydreaming and/or hallucinating when faced with the emotion of seeing his dead father. PLOT: On the flight where Claire originally meets Drew, he is literally the one and only passenger on the 747 jumbo jet. If faced with this situation any airline would have almost certainly canceled the flight. Furthermore, Claire is the one and only flight attendant on the plane, which is against FAA safety regulations. Continuity: When Hollie is giving her speech at the memorial, we see her walk across the stage and as her pant legs sway they reveal pointy toe stilettos - clearly not suitable for tap dancing. However, when she puts the microphone down and begins her performance, she is suddenly wearing tap shoes. |

[from trailer] Drew Baylor: [embracing] Please don't take this as rejection. Claire Colburn: I really don't. [from trailer] Hollie Baylor: Don't expect to be making any friends. Heather Baylor: Drew doesn't have friends, Mom. Drew Baylor: I have friends! Drew Baylor: I'm gonna have to call you back... Heather Baylor: Okay, just dial HELL and i'll answer. Claire Colburn: Trust me. Everybody is less mysterious than they think they are. Claire Colburn: We peaked on the phone. text on an urn: KISS Forever Claire Colburn: I'm impossible to forget, but I'm hard to remember. Drew Baylor: So what are you doing right now? Claire Colburn: [referring to Drew] I'm checking out this cute guy... Drew Baylor: [disgusted face] Why are you telling me that? Drew Baylor: [voiceover] There's a diffrence between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is merely the absence of success. Any fool can achieve failure. But a fiasco, a fiasco is a disaster of epic propotions. A fiasco is a folk tale told to other's to make other people feel more alive because it didn't happen to them. Ellen Kishmore: Drew, it was real, and it was great, and it was really great. Bill Banyon: Is there such a thing as partial cremation? Claire Colburn: I'm one of a kind. Claire Colburn: Do you ever just think I'm fooling everybody? Drew Baylor: You have no idea. Claire Colburn: Men see things in a box, and women see them in a round room. Claire Colburn: I think I've been asleep most of my life. Drew Baylor: Me too. Claire Colburn: What they say is, it *will* hit you, it could be ten minutes or it could be ten years from now. Claire Colburn: [voiceover] Don't get lost! Drew Baylor: [on cremating his dad] That's the plan - that is the way it's gonna be guys! Sprinkled at sea! Drew Baylor: [angrily] And that's the decision from California! [then realising what he just said] Shit, Oregon! [men at table laughing] We really are from Oregon! Claire Colburn: Hey, you're only 45 minutes away. You wanna meet halfway and see the sunrise? At this point it's probably easier to stay up! Drew Baylor: You think so? Claire Colburn: I think that's what "they" say! Drew Baylor: I see you right there. I see you right there. Claire Colburn: There you are. Drew Baylor: You know, there is nothing greater than deciding in your life that things maybe really are black and white! And this guy Ben, who clearly takes you for granted, who serially takes advantage of you, is bad! And what I'm saying is good! See what I mean? You shouldn't be the substitute for anybody. This guy should be right here, right now, doing this [kisses Claire] . Drew Baylor: What is that word...? Whimsical! Claire Colburn: Most of the sex I've had in my life was not as personal as that kiss. Drew Baylor: No true fiasco ever began as a quest for mere adequacy. A motto of the British Special Air Force is: 'Those who risk, win.' A single green vine shoot is able to grow through cement. The Pacific Northwestern salmon beats itself bloody on it's quest to travel hundreds of miles upstream against the current, with a single purpose, sex of course, but also... life Drew Baylor: And don't worry. Because as great as you look tonight, you are safe with me. Claire Colburn: [voice over] Some music *needs* air. Roll down your window. Claire Colburn: I don't know a lot about everything, but I do know a lot about the part of everything that I know, which is people. Drew Baylor: And they all know me, and I don't know any of them. And I've never seen a dead body before. Drew Baylor: I've just recently decided that the things we know aren't black and white. Claire Colburn: And so we all became helpers, which I *so* can't help. I can't help helping. Claire Colburn: I've spent so much time thinking about all the answers to the problem, that I forget what the problem *actually* was. Drew Baylor: You're smart, you'll just wear your shoes and *never* ask any questions. Just enjoy your footwear. Claire Colburn: To have never taken a solitary road trip across country? I mean everybody's got to take a road trip, at least once in their lives. Just you and some music. Chuck Hasboro: Death and life. And death and life. Right *next door* to each other! There's like, there's a hair between them. Chuck Hasboro: Okay, it's all about family bro. Drew Baylor: Thank you, Chuck. [they hug] Drew Baylor: Did I miss 60B? Drew Baylor: Because we have a moment here, let me tell you that I have recently become a secret connoisseur of 'last looks'. You know the way people look at you when they believe it's for the last time? I've started collecting these looks. Drew Baylor: Can you imagine an entire life wrapped up in a shoe? Hollie Baylor: All forward motion counts. Claire Colburn: I want you to get into the deep beautiful melancholy of everything that's happened. Hollie Baylor: It takes time to be funny. It takes time to extract joy from life. Claire Colburn: I'm walking out the door... in last night's clothes. Claire Colburn: Hey, now we actually have a shot at being friends for the rest of our lives. Drew Baylor: The rest of our lives... hm... Claire Colburn: Welcome to the annual meeting of people who annually meet, and we'll see ya'll next year. Claire Colburn: Sadness is easier because its surrender. I say make time to dance alone with one hand waving free. Claire Colburn: So you failed. Alright you really failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You think I care about that? I do understand. You wanna be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling. Hollie Baylor: We were complete opposites and it worked. And something happened between us that was not part of the plan... we were in love. Drew Baylor: In that moment, I knew success, not greatness, was the only god the world served. Hollie Baylor: I was still waiting for everything to start, and now it's over. Claire Colburn: I'm going to miss your lips. And everything attached to them. Claire Colburn: You know, You're always trying to break up with me, and we're not even together. Drew Baylor: I know... We're not? Drew Baylor: I'm fine. Jessie Baylor: This loss will be met with a hurricane of love. Jessie Baylor: I teach my kids about the things that really matter. I will teach them about Abraham Lincoln and Ronnie Van Zandt, because they are equally important in my house. Drew Baylor: You're great, Claire. Actually, you're kinda amazing. Claire Colburn: [after learning that Drew's father is Mitch] Ah, so you're a son of a Mitch. Claire Colburn: Never met a Mitch I didn't like. Fun, full of life. Like... everyone wants to be a part of Mitch's club. Drew Baylor: We should've taken this trip years ago. Hollie Baylor: [looking at a picture of Mitch] I love you. This is for you. Your favorite song on a Saturday night. [Moon River plays] (text written on a cloth above the stage): If it wasn't this... it'd be something else. Drew Baylor: Beautiful night, does it ever cool off? Jessie Baylor: No, this time of year its hotter than the hinges of hell, we got stars though... Hollie Baylor: A few days after Mitch died I was walking through the yard and I saw our neighbor who was a very good friend of Mitch's, Bob, and he saw me coming through the gate, and he said, "I am so sorry for your loss." And I knew that he needed to feel that loss, too, and to share it, and I wanted to help him. And he put his arms around me, he cradled me, and his embrace tighted. Finally, here was somebody who truly cared. And then, I felt something else. [audience starts laughing] Hollie Baylor: Some-thing huge. [the laughing gets harder, Drew and Heather look embarrassed] Hollie Baylor: Let's just say it, let's just say it. A BONER! Drew Baylor: [on phone] I am Currently stealing Chuck and Cindy's wedding beer. Chuck Hasboro: You're a friend of Chuck's right? Drew Baylor: Yes, yes I am Chuck Hasboro: No you're not, I'm Chuck Drew Baylor: ...Of... Chuck and Cindy? Claire Colburn: [voiceover] Is that Chuck? Drew Baylor: It's Chuck! Drew Baylor: And who says we have to listen to 'them'? Claire Colburn: *They* do! Claire Colburn: Just tell me you love me and get it over with! Phil DeVoss: I am ill-equipt in the philosophies of failure. Claire Colburn: Life cannot be so cruel that we don't deserve to be together... to eat. Drew Baylor: By the way, I didn't say 'million,' I said 'billion.' A billion dollars; that's a lot of million. Claire Colburn: We are intrepid. We carry on. |
