Did You Know?
| Trivia | Kevin Spacey asked the director for call sheets when Garry Shandling was going to be doing his scenes so that he could be there to watch. Spacey gave Shandling acting advice between takes, and at one point was even Garry's focal point behind the camera to mimic a facial expression, which the director used in the film since it captured the moment perfectly.

| Quotes |
Mickey:
You don't know what you're saying. You don't. Eddie: I do. Mickey: No. I know you think you know what you're saying, but you're not saying it. Eddie: No, I know what I'm saying. I don't know what I mean, but I know what I'm saying. Is that what you mean? Mickey: Yeah. Eddie: Right. But it's not like anybody knows what anything means, right? It's not like anybody knows that. So at least I know I don't know what I mean, which is better than most people. They probably think they know what they mean, not just what they think they mean. See more » |
