According to writer, producer, and director Gary David Goldberg, he gave the script to John Cusack and encouraged him to change any of his character's dialogue to better suit him.

"Jake: You know, but I think your heart grows back bigger. You know? Once you get the shit beat out of you. And, um, the universe lets your heart expand that way, and I think that's the function of all this pain and heartache that you go through and you gotta go through that to come out to a better place and that's how I see it, anyway."
"Jake: It's a long story, something about the violation of expectations and a crushing loss of faith, and love, and life, and art. Bill: So it's a girl? Jake: Yes. Bill: I've had a little bit of girl trouble myself lately. But it is better to have loved and lost, am I right? Jake: She was a unique constellation of attributes; she was my Halley's comet. But the universe is designed to break your heart, right? Bill: A philosopher as well as an artist, yes, it is we who suffer most. Jake: Yes, with the possible exception of the victims of violent crime"
