Continuity mistake: When Richie returns from the hospital and enters Margot's tent you can see a few toy cars by the record player. The next time you see the record player they are gone. The next time they are there. This happens continuously during the scene.
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
Plot summary
Starring: Gene Hackman, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Bill Murray, Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke Wilson, Anjelica Huston
Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three child prodigies before they separated - Chas, a real estate trader in his early teens - Richie, a junior champion tennis player and Margot, who received a $50,000 grant for her ninth grade play. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault.

Margot: I think we're just gonna to have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that.
Trivia: In the closeup of Chas' hand with a pellet lodged between its knuckles it's not Ben Stiller's, but Andrew Wilson's hand, brother of Owen and Luke Wilson. When they were children, Owen fired a pellet gun at Andrew's hand.
