Interesting facts
The piano music that pervades the film was composed by the Polish composer and virtuoso pianist Frédéric Chopin, who is widely recognised as one of the greatest musicians in history.
As they board the aeroplane bound for Warsaw, Benji and David discuss their seat numbers — 24A and 24B — which ought to be on the left-hand side of the aisle, yet in reality they end up in seats E and F on the right-hand side of the aircraft.
[Benji is explaining to David how they can get through their train trip without paying]
Benji Kaplan
We stay moving, we stay light, we stay agile.
David Kaplan
Yeah.
Benji Kaplan
The conductor's gonna come through taking tickets. We tell him we're going to the bathroom.
David Kaplan
The bathroom. Okay.
Benji Kaplan
He gets to the back of the train, he starts heading towards the front looking for stragglers.
David Kaplan
Sorry, we're the stragglers?
Benji Kaplan
Yeah. By the time he gets to the front, the train's gonna be in the station and we're home free.
David Kaplan
This is so fucking stupid.
Benji Kaplan
Man, what's stupid is the corporatization of travel. Ensuring that the rich move around the world, propagate their elitist loins, while the poor stay cut off from society.
David Kaplan
That's great, we can argue Marxism while they're hauling us off to Siberia.
Benji Kaplan
Siberia is in Russia, Dave.
David Kaplan
This is ridiculous. Tickets are probably like twelve bucks.
Benji Kaplan
It's the principle of paying. We shouldn't have to pay for train tickets in Poland. This is our country.
David Kaplan
No, it's not. It was our country. They kicked us out 'cause they thought we were cheap.
