10 What got stuck in the door after the first time Joe visited Kathleen's store?
Answer: the balloons

This is one of my favorite scenes. According to the director's cut of the DVD, this part of the scene where the balloons get stuck in the door was unscripted. Tom Hanks comes back in and says, "Good thing it wasn't the fish." Because no one was expecting that, the reactions of both Kathleen (Meg Ryan) and George (Steve Zahn) were genuine and the director kept it in.
