Trivia In the dance party scene where the layer cake falls off the beak of the totem pole and drops onto Miss Inch's face, writer and director David Swift originally wanted to cut the shot of the cake fall.

Quotes Mitch Evers: [entering the dining room to see an empty table] Hey, uh, what happened to dinner?
Verbena 'Ever's Housekeeper': Oh, dinner's being served on the patio tonight.
Mitch Evers: Oh, whose idea is that?
Verbena 'Ever's Housekeeper': It's none of my nevermind. I don't say a word.
Mitch Evers: [turning to leave; deadpan] I know, you never say a word to anyone.
