- At the very beginning Jennifer says her name, and then she says, "And this is Gale. What's up, Gale?" And he… in his bored/WTF/I wanna go home voice deadpans "Nothing..." and then laughs and SIIIIGHS

- When Richard Wilkinson who plays the role of Will, the pshyco boyfriend of Lilli's roommate, appears on the screen wearing a jacket and a pair of striped underwear, the conversation between Gale and Jennifer goes like this (more or less):

Jen: That's Richard Wilkinson.
Gale: Also known as stripes!
Jen: *giggles* Black and whitey!
Gale: *dies laughing* Black and whitey tighty whitey? Black and tighty whitey?
Jen: *is laughing like a crazy*
Gale: Zebra stripes!
Jen: Oh yes, that's it zebra stripes!


- Remember how the very first thing we saw of Gale in the movie are his fingers writing one of Morrison's lines? Well, at that point this is what happens:

Jen: Oh, there's Gale's fingers! That's a very sexy shot!
Gale: Cuticles are always... attractive.
Jen: *laughs*

- Now, remember at Lilli's father's house? When the nurse is always caring for the Lilies that are in a vase on the window sill? That's what they say the first time thay see that scene:

Gale: Oh, I have to get some of that cut flower food!
Jen: *laughs*
Gale: I do.
Jen: Do you really?
Gale: On the way home..

- Picture the scene where Morrison and Lilli see each other for the first time. Ready? Ok, this is Gale's and Jennifer's comment to it:

Jen: This is how you want it to be, you see someone, you recognize each other...
Gale: *interrupts her* ...there’s a creep parked in a black BMW in front of my apartment... What the hell is going on…
Jen: I think I’m gonna fall in love!

- Ok, now they've seen each other for the first time, they talked and Lilli agreed to share Morrison's sandwich in his car, right? They're in the car, and Jennifer giggles over a weird sound she makes in the movie. Gale says, "That's the sound that bird was making! Remember that parrot in the pet store?" Jen says no, and Gale continues, "The pet store that had that sign... the one that said... uhm... 'home of the world's softest puppy'? I tried to write it down but.." Jen interrupts and says, "You did! You were like obsessed with the word 'puppy'! And do you know that it's IN the shot?"
Later we find out it's true.. but be patient and I'll tell you exactly where.. *g*

- Bit of conversation that I luuuurve:

Jen: I find you very appealing in the movie.
Gale: You can’t pay compliments to other actors during the commentary!
Jen: Of course I can! I’m the director! I just cannot compliment myself..
Gale: shhhhh

-Subway story: to shoot in a subway in NYC you have to pay $18.000 and they didn’t have them so they snuck on subways when they had a scene to film. One day they got busted, and Jennifer tells this funny story about how she had to hold the doors open to make everyone run away, and then had to burst out crying when the police arrived and pretend to be looking for her ex boyfriend. She asks if Gale was there that day, and he says “I don’t work on those days!” and Jen replies “The busted days! Gale doesn’t do anything like that…”

- Jennifer says that the actress that plays Morrison’s mom has the nicest legs, and Gale says, in his cute voice, “They are beyoutifoool” I tried to write it the way he says it… hope this makes sense…

- During the first scene when Morrison scrubs his face, Gale says he got a terrible rush after doing that, and then he laughs! His skin is so sensitive... *sighs* Also, when he sees himself wearing the shower cap, he says, “A baby blue shower cap says so much!” LOL

- Now this is the funniest bit of the whole commentary! Remember when Morrison goes outside of Lilli's apartment the morning after they first met? Well, Gale says that since he had to get out of the sun or all his make up would melt, at one point he crossed the street and, as soon as he stood over the wall... a pigeon shit on him!!!!! He laughs and says he had it everywhere: his T-shirt, his hair, a side of his face! And then IN the shot you can see Lilli laughing when she sits in Morrison's car, and Gale says, "You're laughing at it right there!"

- During the same scene there's another info that Gale drops casually. He was supposed to say something else instead of 'killer' in the line “I make a killer omelette,” and so he says “I blew it!”

- Same scene: If you look closely you can see the word 'puppy' written on Morrison's notepad when he starts his car! Jen sees it and yells, "There's the puppy! Did you see the puppy?" Gale says, "I didn't see the puppy," and Jen replies, “You missed the puppy! You’ll have to go home and watch it again to see the puppy!” Lol

- After Lilli leaves Morrison’s house in a haste because she panicked in his bathrrom, you can see her passing in front of a mexican restaurant. Gale says, “I like that restaurant a lot! That Mexican restaurant that you just walked by? It’s good.” People in NY? Rewatch the movie and go to have lunch at that restaurant!

- The second time we see Morrison wash his face, Jennfer says she gets asked if she fast forwarded it but she didn’t. She says, "Gale can move his hands that fast VERY easily!" Gale laughs, then says, "Morrison, chill out!" LOL

- That scene at Lilli's grandma's house? Gale LOVES the way the actress who plays Lilli’s grandma talks. He laughs A LOT!

- All the scenes in Morrison’s bedroom and during the phone call where done with people jackhammering the bricks on the side of the building! Gale says, “That’s that situation when you can’t go out there and ask them to be quiet because there’s this 6 foot tall, 225 pounds muscle machine from Russia holding a jackhammer and giving you this look like ‘NO’”
That description cracks me up so bad!!!!

- The “Welcome to Hell” writing on the subway’s wall was written by Gale.

- Almost rape scene:

Jen: The line here is ‘You can’t lie to yourself about what gets you off’ And it’s true, right?
Gale: A little psychology can go a long way in the wrong hands.

- Gale jumped out of a van at 1.00 in the morning to do the scene where Morrison runs after the subway train where he thinks Lilli is. Gale asks, "Why is Morrison running after the train?" Jen answers, "I don’t know! You did it and I thought it was great that you did it so I left it!" I LOVE this :D

- Last but definitely not least, remember the line "I knew it when I met you"? Well Jen says that you can't say that 10 times in your life and Gale is like, "Wait, you can't? I can say it 25 times a night!" Jen laughs like a crazy, and says, "Yeah, when you're drunk!" And Gale makes this funny drunk voice and says "I kneeeeeeew eeeet the moooment..."
