- Maggie Lizer has a cornballer tucked away on a shelf adjacent to her refrigerator! edit »
- Guest stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Ping Wu appeared together on several episodes of Seinfeld, starting with "The Tape". He played Ping, the Chinese food delivery boy who sued Elaine for opening a taxi door into his path when delivering via bicycle. edit »
- Tobias's catlike quickness was first seen in "Bringing Up Buster." edit »
- In the interrogation room, there is a chart that features everyone connected to the Bluths. The people on the chart were:
1) The Bluth and Funke Family
2) Kitty
3) Marta (Her face is crossed out)
4) Annyong
5) Carl Weathers
6) Lucille 2
7) Surely Funke
And a "No Photo Available" is seen near Marta. Theories for the picture are the following: Gob's wife, Michael's dead wife, Gob's illegitimate son Steve Holt, the Narrator, and Hermano. The "No Photo Available" picture looks exactly like (and most likely is) the photo IMDb uses when they don't have a picture of an actor in a profile. edit » - This was the 18th episode produced, but the 17th to air. edit »
- Maggie: It's like the ten commandments saying, you know. "Be true to thine own self, and to thine own self.."
Michael: "... be true." Yeah, number seven. edit » - Gob: And now you love the ten commandments. And yet you're the one who so conveniently forgot "Thou shalt protect thy father and honor no one above him unless it be-ith me, thy sweet Lord".
Michael: I'm not sure that one made it down the mountain, Gob. edit » - Maggie: So, what about us? We were starting to establish some trust. Except for all the lies. edit »
- Maggie: Did you ever see him return from these trips with anything unusual?
Buster: He once came back once with a black statue with an erect penis. It stayed in our living room until my aunt objected. edit » - Maeby: Plus, who's going to get mad at the dying girl?
George Michael: Surely's dying?
Maeby: I figure I'll kill her off just before graduation just so everyone gets really sad before prom. edit »
- Maggie: Well, it's like the ten commandments say. You know, "be true to thine own self, and to thine own self ..."
Michael: "... be true."
Maggie and Michael misquote the Bible (a running joke on this episode) but here the quote is actually from Shakespeare's Hamlet. edit » - The chart of the Bluth family visible in the interrogation room is reminiscent of a similar chart of the Corleone family seen in the Senate hearing chamber in The Godfather, Part II. edit »
