*The establishing shot for the coffee shop is from [http://funkylittlecoffeehouse.com/ The Coffee Gallery].
*The "Five Families" meeting is Bob Vance's only appearance independent of his relationship with Phyllis.
*In the original script, Michael and Dwight sang "[[Wikipedia:Candle in the Wind|Candle in the Wind]]" in the cemetery, but the producers were unable to secure permission to use the song. The NBC comedy ''[[Wikipedia:30 Rock|30 Rock]]'' had previously requested permission to use the song, but [[Wikipedia:Elton John|Elton John]] was so deeply offended by their parody that he flat-out refused even to consider the request from ''The Office''. Another song considered (but for which rights could not be obtained) was "[[Wikipedia:Ruby Tuesday|Ruby Tuesday]]", sung as "Good-bye Deborah Shoshlefski".<ref name="novaknpr">[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90365876 Talking with 'Office' Star B.J. Novak], NPR, The Bryant Park Project, May 12, 2008.</ref>
*In the original script, Michael and Dwight sang "[[Wikipedia:Legs (song)|Legs]]" late into the night. The producers invited the actors to sing "American Pie" instead, and the performance was so compelling, it went into the final cut.<ref name="bjnovak"/>
