Janice: What was the clientele like?
Frank: This guy comes up to me and he says: "l like my women like my coffee."

Trivia: Whenever Sebastian is invisible and interacting with the other characters, Kevin Bacon's voice would be broadcast throughout several speakers randomly hidden throughout the set. This was done to make the reaction more genuine, since the actors would honestly not know where his voice was going to come from next, just as the characters would not know where Sebastian was.
Question: What is the song playing when Kevin Bacon is driving his car?
Answer: The name of song is "Power Struggle" by Sunna.
