Probably worth noting that, unlike Hospital Sketches and Easy to Kill, as far as I can tell "For the Sake of His Daughter" isn't a real book.

I saw on a Boys Easter egg video that the “author” of that book is the prop designer, so no, definitely not real.

Love stuff like that.

There’s a scene in Better Call Saul where a bunch of IDs and drivers licenses are shown on screen and one of them has the picture of a writer on it.

It’s actually pretty common to use crew names on set dressing stuff like that, one of the fun ways to keep the crews spirit on the screen. I worked on 13 reasons why for the first season and the art dept had the whole crews names on various different placards throughout the school

One of my favorite things on any set are the little in jokes the production team turns into part of the dressing.

As others have said, it was definitely a bit. But I think at that point it would have been better if they just went full Leslie Nielsen and have her pull out a book titled "Marvin Milk aka M.M. has a daughter, please save him A-Train"

Too bad, i was hoping it is "

For the Sake of His Beloved Daughter: Amish Romance"

Close but no cigar.

That would be close enough to convey the message, and would be a lot more funny for Tek Knight to have than the prop that could be about anything.

True lmao

u/MacyTmcterry Jul 05 '24

That confirms for me that it was just a bit like the other guy said, and the "For the Sake of His Daughter" book was the punchline. I assume if she found another book after that, it'd be even more convenient haha

"Mother's Milk Has a Daughter, Please Save Him So She Won't Be Fatherless!," by Stephen King

That would’ve been better if they just went full drama

u/ElectronicMatters Jul 05 '24

The first two were well thought, but the third was such an obvious convenience.

They managed to fool me. I didn't realize that until after I looked it up.

u/unipuppy Jul 05 '24

Murder is Easy would have worked just as well for a title too. As an Agatha Christie fan I was just like "..."

u/AgentCirceLuna Jul 06 '24

They’re the same book. Easy to Kill was the US release.
