* OneSceneWonder: Creator/ClancyBrown as a cop who stops Helen for speeding and upon discovering she is a nun, notes that he once stopped an IRS agent and got an audit the next year before deciding not to risk similar wrath from God and simply letting her off with a warning. The scene wasn't in the script but happened to the real Helen Prejean during filming and she asked it to be included.
