Jamie Randall: That's okay.
Maggie Murdock: (crying) No it's not! It isn't *fair*! I have places to go!
Jamie Randall: You'll go there. I just may have to carry you.
Maggie Murdock: ...I can't ask you to do that.
Jamie Randall: You didn't.
- Patti Podesta designed Maggie's loft to be in stark opposition to the cold, sterile, medical buildings Jamie works in.
- The anti-Parkinson's drugs Sinemet and Ropinirole mentioned in the film can cause sexual hyperactivity and hyperarousal in some patients as a side effect.
- Lawyers for both principals prepared documents about how much nudity the film would show. In the end, though, Edward Zwick simply pledged that there would be nothing in the film with which they were not comfortable.
- Some of the clothes Anne Hathaway wears in the film come from costume designer Deborah Lynn Scott's own wardrobe.
- In designing the sex scenes, director Edward Zwick had the principals watch romantic comedies and sexually charged films - everything from Pillow Talk (1959) to 9 Songs (2004) to Ultimo tango a Parigi (1972) - and talk about what turned them on. Then some of those shots and ideas were incorporated into the making of the scenes.
