New England DEA Chief Robert Stutman mailed two-page, single-spaced letters asking the state's realtors to "help locate properties that are being utilized to conceal illicit drugs" by flagging the agency when dealing with customers who fit that general description.

Her wide eyed facial expressions belie her confusions with Dorsey's unusual actions as he tries to conceal his life in drag. Bill Murray as Dorsey's bemused play wright of a roommate gives a witty performance with his occasional wry comments.
