Behind the scenes
"Cherchez La Femme" is a French idiom which translates literally as "search for the woman" and can be understood best as meaning when a man has a problem, there is surely a woman at the source.
Bugs
The Cherchez La Femme speech option with the Gomorrah Prostitute has a spelling error. "I be a sexy lady like you could tell me where I could find someone named Cachino."
