Character mistake: Largeman tells his father that he's leaving "tomorrow," but spends two more days in town. The next day is his last day, and they do not talk later the same day as they promised they would.
Garden State (2004)

Directed by: Zach Braff
Starring: Ian Holm, Natalie Portman, Zach Braff, George C. Wolfe, Austin Lysy, Kenneth Graymez
Sam: This is your one opportunity to do something that no one has ever done before and that no one will copy throughout human existence. And if nothing else, you will be remembered as the one guy who ever did this. This one thing.
Trivia: Much of the scene with Largeman and the doctor in his office was ad libbed by Ron Leibman. Liebman made up patting Braff on the knee and saying "Hey, you're alive" on the spot, and Braff actually did jump from it. He also did some research by calling other doctors, and threw in the line about taking off his shoes and scratching his feet at the very last moment, something doctors actually do.
