Continuity mistake: When Sam is making grilled cheese sandwiches with the ironing board and iron, he finishes one sandwich and places it on top of another on the side table. After Joon's explanation of cheese and culture the camera cuts back to Sam placing another finished sandwich on the side table on the same place that he placed the first but there is only one sandwich there where there should be two.

Joon: Don't underestimate the mentally ill. We know how to count.
Question: What exactly is wrong with Joon? I don't think they mentioned it in the movie, but does anyone have a good guess?
Answer: Initially, I thought that she had PTSD after her parents died because she appeared to have watched the accident or been in the accident.
Answer: She had schizophrenia, she showed that with her paranoia when she accused Benny of cheating and hallucinations when she was getting upset with the voices in her head on the bus.
