She delivers this line about 10 - 15 minutes into the film, and about a minute later John Turturro also has a line.

Viewer Kevin Hercules notes the following blooper: Jerry is driving a BMW. In a BMW, the defroster is on the top of the vent positions. Jerry tells the guy that stole his car that it is on the bottom. In the yet another blooper category, viewer Jeff Holland notes that George moves fast. In an editing blooper in one shot he is across the room by the window. In the next shot, he is in the kitchen behind Jerry. He also notes the irony, that Jason has the side job as "Pretzel Boy" when George utters the line "these pretzels are making me thirsty."
