Scenes
Four women watch a fireworks display together at the end of the film. One of them bends over, clearly desperate to pee. It's hard to hear, but another woman tells her "Ain't nothing to do but hold it, girl!" The camera goes into super-slo-mo for the fireworks, but the soundtrack continues at normal speed and it sounds like she may have peed herself amidst the laughing and squealing.
