c.		In the first scene that was filmed with Brian Cox (the scene on his porch, where he is reading the letter from the governor), the letter was supposed to have the lines typed out on them.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Key Largo (1948)?

This is a reference to the common network television practice of dubbing over "swear" words with less "objectionable" words or terms that have a similar sound and length - even if the replacement words dont really make sense in the context of the movie. "Melon Farmers" was used most famously as the dub for "Mother F*ers" in the network television version of the Die Hard series of movies (in which lead character John McClanes famous catchphrase, "Yippie-kai-yay, Mother F*ers!," became "Yippie-kai-yay, Melon Farmers!").
