During the operation scene when Sunny Davis (Goldie Hawn) is having a bullet removed - the chief surgeon (wearing a surgical mask and eye glasses) appears to be and is voiced by co-writer of the film, Buck Henry. A brief but distinct close-up of an assistant masked surgeon would appear to be and is voiced by Chevy Chase (Goldie Hawn's romantic co-star in two previous films - Foul Play (1978) and Seems Like Old Times (1980).)
"Senator Norris: Sunny, the purpose of this hearing is to find out who was responsible. If you give us a name... Sunny Davis: No, sir, I'm sorry, I can't do that. Senator Norris: You can't... Why not? Sunny Davis: Because *I'm* responsible. [crowd starts to murmur loudly] Sunny Davis: [continues] Do you know what my dad says? He says that if you let a guy sell you a diamond ring for only ten cents, the chances are you own a diamond ring not worth a dime. Well, I bought the whole mine. I thought I was getting a free ride - or at least a real cheap one. And I really have to thank them for that. I mean the people who sold it to me, I mean."
"Vice President Merck: Sunny, what are your plans? Sunny Davis: I don't have any. I mean, well, I have a job at the Safari club and Lou, well, he's my boss and he's really a nice guy and everything, but business hasn't been so hot and I was kind of hoping for an advancement, you know, but the problem is that Lou's aunt works the cash register and his sister's the hostess so I'm just gonna have to wait around until one of 'em quits or drops dead. I guess you know what that's like, hmm? Vice President Merck: Hmm!"
