Revealing mistakes: Linda offers Walter a Marlboro Red cigarette outside the courthouse. He declines. She then pulls a cigarette out of the pack and lights it. The cigarette, and filter, are completely white. Marlboro regulars are white with a brown filter. Continuity: When Linda and Walter are riding on the bus, she spots someone on a side street. They start yelling for the bus driver to stop, which he eventually does. But when we see them stepping off the bus, it's right at the corner of the street where the person is. They would have had to walk back at least a block. |
Quotes

Clay: Clay: But all of this isn't only about me. All of this is more about waiting for someone you know will never come back. About that time spent waiting. And the people you meet in the waiting room. [first lines] Clay: I collect goldfish. I keep them in a small tank in my bedroom. Other kids my age like dogs - if they like animals at all. But for me, it's goldfish. I understand them, living under water in a little bowl, hearing nothing, just watching everything through glass. Clay: Me and Walter, we know how it feels when a new day begins, and someone doesn't show up for it. Clay: People need to have something in common to keep them close. Something like a job, or a hobby, or a sport - or the wait - for something to change. For justice, for fairness. But the wait can get difficult. And after a while, you can't just watch the story go on without you. And after a while, you take the story back. [repeated line] Hank: Okay, good stuff... Linda: I've never even *been* to court before all this happened. It's like a foreign country in there, the words they use and how things happen, it's just... It's like I got on a wrong plane and got off at some fucked up country I'm not supposed to be in. [last lines] Clay: All of this is more about waiting for someone you know will never come. About that time spent waiting. Never keep them waiting, in the waiting room. |
