Other mistake: When Lawrence and Janet are on the way to the airport and going through the tunnel, the taxi is on the wrong side of the road. This is apparent when there is a shot of the taxi, because the double yellow lines are on the left side of the screen (passenger side of the vehicle).
Continuity mistake: After having sex on their 2nd date, Lawrence and Janet are talking in bed. Her arms move instantly from over her head to her side.
James Wetherhold: Vanessa here is the perfect little housewife. I mean daughter.
Vanessa Wetherhold: Yes, if by perfect you mean not retarded, slash suffering from insurmountable credit card debt, then yes, I'm indeed perfect.
Lawrence Wetherhold: Why would you have a baby with me?
Janet Hartigan: Because you don't know how to properly use a condom.
Lawrence Wetherhold: Message received.
Janet Hartigan: I'm sorry I called you an arrogant windbag the other night.
Lawrence Wetherhold: You called me a pompous windbag the other night.
