Goofs:

Continuity: The drive-by shooters who shot up Janila's house used automatic weapons: machine guns. However, police are shown picking up red shotgun shells from the living room floor inside the house. Machine guns don't have plastic shell casings; even if they did, they wouldn't be inside the house, but rather on the street where the weapons were fired.

Quotes:

Det. Sammy Bryant: So, uh, about Dewey's party...
Tammi Bryant: Wh- wh- why do I have to go to this thing? Nobody liked him, right? I never even met the guy.
Det. Sammy Bryant: It's a chance for you to meet some of my friends.
Tammi Bryant: Oh, you - you mean "the wives"?
Det. Sammy Bryant: Yeah, what's wrong with that? Huh?
Tammi Bryant: But I, I have nothing in common with these women - *nothing*.
Det. Sammy Bryant: You don't know that.
Tammi Bryant: They probably all belong to a nice little book club, read Anne Rice novels.
Tammi Bryant: You're being ridiculous, Tammi.
