[about Grace]
Shannon Christie : She's got an awfully large chest to be goin' to church.
Joseph Donnelly : Shannon, all chests are equal in the eyes of the Lord.
- Crazy credits Near the end of the credits, special thanks are given to, among others, Fungi the Dingle Dolphin (although the correct spelling of the dolphin's name is Fungie).
- When Joseph's dad dies, there is some added material where the dad says, "I've given you nothing, you boys. A small mold cottage on a bit of rock that isn't even ours, full of hollow labor." Also, there is a bit where the priest there looks at the dying dad curiously as he says his last words.
