Episode Cast and Crew Details »

• At the end of the episode, where the effects of Manny’s disorder are being shown, when Manny is jumping up and down on the car with "EAT ME" written across his chest, the position of the word "EAT" shifts right considerably between shots. [edit]
• Chalkboard: "No Smouldering" "88 Degrees" [edit]

• This is the only episode where Bernard doesn't appear in the final scene. [edit]
• When the temperature triggers Mannys Daves syndrome, the two guys passing the shop alarmed by the scream are the co-writers of the episode Kevin Cecil and Andy Riley. [edit]

• Bernard: Get out! Women think you're my girlfriend. Go!
  Fran: Bernard, please... Just for a few hours. In my place I'm lying there writhing and sticky... and glistening...
  Bernard: STOP! IT! [edit]
• (About pretending to be Fran's lawyer)
  Bernard: No, I'm not doing it.
  Fran: Oh, go on. And then when you get a girlfriend, I'll give you a reference. I'll lie for you, I'll say you're alright.
  Bernard: Alright, deal! [edit]
• Bernard: I think you've got a case. You should get a lawyer.
  Manny: Yeah. It's expensive though. Maybe you could get someone to pretend to be a lawyer?
  Bernard: Yeah. Someone who's just a bit like a lawyer. Arrogant, cruel, crooked, a liar. A real bastard. That'd sort them out.
  (Manny and Fran stare at Bernard)
  Bernard: No, I'm not doing it. [edit]
