* The shot with Creator/BenAffleck in the bar, where he sinks the eight ball, and continues with his monologue, took over twenty shots, mainly because Affleck couldn't make the shot. When he finally did make it, he couldn't say his lines, because he was laughing so hard about finally making it.

trivia page has namespace in ALLCAPS, so isn't indexing. Need to cut it to remake page in a way which indexes correctly.
