Began as a play in Los Angeles with original cast members Noah Wyle and Peter Berg. A year later the play was revamped in Atlanta with Chad Darnell and Quint Von Canon.

While bound, the length of Dan's beard growth waxes and wanes.

Tom refers to the Iowa State "Hawkeyes." The Hawkeye is in fact the mascot of the University of Iowa. Iowa State's sport teams are known as the "Cyclones."

Whenever Dan has tape around his head (covering his mouth), it is alternately under his right ear or over it (depending on the angle).

Dan: Putting people in fucking boxes - you're straight or you're gay - it's nonsense. Human beings are too complex. Being with a man or wanting to be with a man doesn't make you gay. It's totally messed up. If a girl goes to her boyfriend and says she wants to fuck around with another girl, you think he's going to be weirded out by that? Fuck no. He's gonna want to watch, maybe even join in. But if a guy asks his girlfriend the same question, she's fucking flip her lid. It's totally messed up for guys who prefer women and have a slight curiosity about men. They're forced into repressing it. And even if they do act on those urges, they're made to feel like there's something wrong with them - when it isn't the act that's wrong. In fact, that's what's natural. What's wrong is how society makes you feel about it because nobody can admit that people aren't completely gay or completely straight. It's nonsense.

Tom: You see this lie? You had sex last Tuesday but you wanted to appear pure but you're not are you? You're not pure. I watched you for a short time and I caught you in a lie. I didn't come looking to do this but after watching you seeing the way you are it only made sense what I had to do. I can only imagine the other 5 years, how many blondies have there been.

Tom: You know you are a perfect example of what is wrong with this world. No one will take a stand and say that it's me. I'm guilty, I did it. You fucked up. You lived by your own rules and not you have to pay for that.
