 Maddie Corman (qv)s character is named "Zuzu Petals", a reference  to _Its a Wonderful Life (1946)_ (qv). In that movie, George  Baileys daughter, Zuzu, had brought home a flower she had got at  school. She shows it to her father and complains that some of the  petals are falling off. He puts these in his pocket. Later, when he  "has never been born", he reaches into his pocket and Clarence the  Angel, says, "Theyre not there." "What?" asks George. "Zuzus  petals."
