This is not my beautiful.....


In the scene where Mort watches his wife and Ted from his car, he says "this is not my beautiful home, this is not my beautiful wife....anymore." I felt like I'd heard this before so I googled the line and it's from a Talking Heads song. Anyone else pick up on this?

Yes, the line is taken from the Talking Heads song Once In A Lifetime. In fact, it's even stated in the trivia section that the line is taken from that song.

"Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. And the days go by..." It's a good song.

I look at my red hands and my mean face, and I wonder about that man that's gone so wrong.
