Revealing mistakes: When John Crowley follows Dr. Stonehill into the bar, a couple of television screens are playing a University of Nebraska football game in daylight even though it was dark outside. Continuity: Just after John reaches into the cabinet to and picks up a vial of medicine, a security guard shouts at him to freeze. John turns and sees the guard with a gun aimed at him. He puts his hands up, but there is no vial of medicine in either hand. CHAR: Stonehill puts up a sign that says "KEEP YOUR DAMN FOOD AND DRINK OUT OF MY REFRIDGERATOR!" (with "refrigerator" misspelled). Continuity: When Patrick Crowley is throwing food to ducks at the lake, he laughs and reveals that he is missing two milky central incisors. At the end of the movie when he is in the hospital taking his medicine, he laughs again revealing that he is missing only one milky central incisor instead of two - the last scene of the movie was filmed before the first. CHAR: When John is talking to his wife by the lake, he refers to Harrison Ford's character as "Dr. Stoneham" instead of Stonehill. Fact errors: The movie is about a disease that is passed genetically from parent to child, yet Mr. and Mrs. Crowley both have blue eyes and Megan's are brown: a genetic impossibility. |

Dr. Robert Stonehill: I ALREADY WORK AROUND THE CLOCK! [from trailer] Dr. Robert Stonehill: I already work around the clock! Aileen Crowley: If you kill your brother, you cannot have your party. Dr. Preston: Now look, she is still a very sick girl, obviously, but her vital signs have improved and I'm cautiously optimistic. John Crowley: [sarcastic reference to earlier conversation] So I guess you can say we dodged that blessing. Megan Crowley: So, what do you do? You married? Do you have a wife? Dr. Robert Stonehill: Uh, ex-wives. Two of them. Megan Crowley: Oh yeah? How come? Dr. Robert Stonehill: Cause I'm so easy to get along with. Any other questions? Megan Crowley: No, your turn to ask one. Dr. Robert Stonehill: Oh, um... Megan Crowley: You're probably wondering what grade I'm in. Dr. Robert Stonehill: What grade are you in? Megan Crowley: I'm in third. My hobbies are video games and penguins. How 'bout you? Dr. Robert Stonehill: I already graduated. Megan Crowley: No, I mean hobbies. Dr. Robert Stonehill: Oh uh, mostly I just work. A little bass fishing every once in a while, but... What's your favorite subject? Megan Crowley: I'm good at reading, but I like PE best. Actually, the sprint races. Dr. Robert Stonehill: Sprint races? John Crowley: Where are you going? Dr. Robert Stonehill: I'm going to go take a crap - if that meets with you fiscal approval... John Crowley: You haven't cashed it yet! Dr. Robert Stonehill: I haven't earned it yet. John Crowley: [affably] Well, thank you very much for firing me. Dr. Kent Webber: My pleasure, I never liked you. John Crowley: Likewise. Megan Crowley: It's not pink. John Crowley: [Looking at the college-aged kids hired to work under Dr. Stonehill] These guys make me feel old. Dr. Robert Stonehill: Scientists get all sensible & careful when they get old. Young ones like risk, not afraid of new ideas... & you can pay 'em less. |
