More trivia for Uncle Buck

Question: In the scene where Buck's brother rings him up to babysit there is a body in Buck's bed. In the scene before Buck is at a bar but brings no one home from the bar, so where did the the extra person come from?

Answer: You can't actually see a person, all you see is a human-sized lump under the covers. It's possible that it's just bunched-up blankets, some pillows, or even clothes.

So, I just noticed this in the movie. If you go at about 10 minutes and 21 seconds, you'll see the blankets move behind them real fast while he's on the phone.
