Emmit: You're the bitch.
Filkins: Huh?
Emmit: Aaaaah that's right.
Trivia: When the boys are interviewing the prospective bodyguards, Adam Baldwin has a brief credited cameo as one of the bodyguard possibilities who states, "Kids hiring a bodyguard to take care of a bully? Stupidest thing I ever heard!" Particularly amusing since this references Adam's first film My Bodyguard, during which he becomes a fellow student's bodyguard.
Question: Why did the three boys pay Drillbit to protect them from Filkins, and not from Ron also?
Answer: They didn't know Ron's name yet.
