Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Factual errors: As the Pears are moving, one of the movers mentions that it is Mardi Gras time. Mardi Gras takes place in the winter. However, both New Jersey and Idaho appear to be experiencing a curiously warm winter since all of the people are wearing summer-type clothing and all of the lawns are green. more
Quotes:
Loan broker: So, you found your dream house. And right now you're asking First Boise Savings & Loan to give you a mortgage.
Arlo Pear: As you can see, I've had the same job for 15 years.
Loan broker: Well, that's very nice, but it's not enough. I mean, Al Capone had the same job for 30 years.
Monica Pear: But we've never had any problem with credit.
Loan broker: Oh, don't get me wrong. I trust you. We trust all our customers. Why, this bank was *built* on trust. Here. Sign here.
Loan broker: Uh, you gotta get closer. This pen is chained down, you know.
