Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn Ben's home movie (a project for his English class at school), a hand-lettered sign is shown above the wall-mounted telephone in the kitchen. At first glance, it seems to be mis-spelled on purpose for a joke; however, it is never mentioned. The sign reads: "PUBIC PHONE" and has an arrow pointing downward to the phone itself. In a scene in which Ben calls the president at the White House, the mis-spelled sign is seen at the beginning, then after a brief cut to Barbara Bush being chased by a toy alligator (it's a home movie for a class assignment, remember), the sign now reads "PUBLIC PHONE", and has a different arrow pointing to the phone.
- Quotes
Dr. Jason Seaver: [the first shot in Ben's film is of a title card: "This motion picture is rated 'R'... and we all know what *that* means"] Ben, if this movie isn't dirty, then why did you rate it "R"?
Ben Seaver: Because no kid wants to see a movie these days, unless it's rated "R".
[Mike comes in; what perfect timing!]
Mike Seaver: Hi, Ben - Wow, your movie's rated "R"? I'm watching it!
Ben Seaver: See what I mean?
[whispered aside]
Ben Seaver: Thanks, Mike; you saved my life.
Dr. Jason Seaver: Consider it a stay of execution.
