TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

A large number of the people we see fired in the film are not actors, but people who were recently laid off. The filmmakers put out ads in St. Louis and Detroit posing as a documentary crew looking to document the effect of the recession. When people showed up, they were instructed to treat the camera like the person who fired them and respond as they did, or use the opportunity to say what they wished they had. A way to discern who are the actors, and who are the real people, is that the real people do not have dialogue with George Clooney or Anna Kendrick, as they were shot separately. Jason Reitman did this intentionally, feeling that the real people would freak out Clooney and Kendrick.

When Bob shows Ryan a photo of his two children, it is a photo of J.K. Simmons's real children.

Ryan's card, which Alex is so impressed, with is the American Airlines invitation-only Concierge Key. Started in 2007, it helps members arrange for reservation changes, upgrades, and even airport meetings. After the film was completed, Jason Reitman was invited into the program. It is sent to selected customers, and since it is not advertised, some travellers consider it a rumor.

Vera Farmiga used a body double for her nude scene. In an interview she stated she has no problem being naked in a film, but she had recently given birth and "The breast milk running down would have been inappropriate."

Jason Reitman began writing the screenplay in 2002, when the economy was booming, and planned to make it as his first feature. The opportunity to make Thank You for Smoking (2005) and Juno (2007) presented themselves, and he put this off until 2009; meanwhile, America plummeted into an economic recession. He said the film's tone changed completely in response to the real world crisis and worked much better as a topical piece than it would have a decade previously. The delays in its realization were therefore fortuitous.

Popular Dialogues

"Ryan Bingham: [on the docks in Miami] You know that moment when you look into somebody's eyes and you can feel them staring into your soul and the whole world goes quiet just for a second? Natalie Keener: Yes. Ryan Bingham: [shrugs] Right. Well, I don't. Natalie Keener: you're an asshole."

"Natalie Keener: [sitting across from Ryan and Alex in Miami] I thought I'd be engaged by now. I thought by 23, I'd be married, maybe have a kid, corner office by day, entertaining at night. I was supposed to be driving a Grand Cherokee by now. Alex Goran: Well, life can underwhelm you that way. Natalie Keener: Where did you think you'd be by err...? Alex Goran: It doesn't work that way. At a certain point, you stop with the dead lines. It can be a little counter productive. Natalie Keener: I don't want to say anything that is anti-feminist. I really appreciate everything that your generation did for me. Alex Goran: It was our pleasure. Ryan Bingham: Well done. Natalie Keener: Sometimes it feels like, no matter how much success I have, it's not gonna matter until I find the right guy. I could have made it work, he really fit the bill, you know. White collar, 6'1, college grad, loves dogs, likes funny movies, brown hair, kind eyes, works in finance but is outdoorsy. I always imagined he'd have a single syllable name like Matt or John or Dave. In a perfect world, he drives a 4 runner and the only thing he loves more than me is his golden lab. And a nice smile. What about you? Alex Goran: You know, honestly by the time you're 34, all the physical requirements just go out the window. You secretly pray that he'll be taller than you, not an asshole would be nice just someone who enjoys my company, comes from a good family. You don't think about that when you're younger. Someone who wants kids, likes kids. Healthy enough to play with his kids. Please let him earn more money than I do, you might not understand that now but believe me, you will one day otherwise that's a recipe for disaster. And hopefully, some hair on his head. I mean, that's not even a deal breaker these days. A nice smile. Yea, a nice smile just might do it. Natalie Keener: Wow. That was depressing."
