Did you know

• The quote on Dylan's headstone "I'll be right here." are the last words E.T. spoke to Elliott, the movie Mara and Dylan quoted earlier in the movie when they were mimicking the quarantine scene.

• There is no Bruce Springsteen song about a milk truck. According to Brian Duffield, there was supposed to be a subplot around this that was cut for lack of time to shoot it. It would have involved Mara listening to every Springsteen song she could find, failing to find the milk truck song, and realizing Dylan made it up to trick her into listening to all of Springsteen's work. This explains her line about Springsteen having great songs and that she "found out the hard way" at 'graduation'.

• When Mara is walking through town immediately after Dylan explodes, her appearance is an obvious nod to Carrie (1976). She also dressed as Carrie White for Halloween.
