- Steve Park as Mike Yanagita wins Dion Waiters. Shep, the TruCoat customer, José Feliciano and the escorts are alternatives.
- An unranked Dion Waiters Mount Rushmore includes Drexl, Walken in Pulp Fiction, Yanagita and Multiple Miggs; Jack Woltz is an addition and a bracket is suggested.
- Scorsese’s admiration for Yanagita is recalled, along with Park reportedly thinking he was playing the scene dramatically and feeling hurt when the Coens laughed.
- Yanagita’s move to the same side of the booth prompts speculation about his intentions and whether he knew Marge was pregnant; these remain interpretations.
