At the end of the episode Adult Joel quotes a line from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Adult Joel says, "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while. You might miss it." The actual quote is "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it." edit »

- Joel: I don't know what happened today. I guess I was having some mid-life teen crisis. I had all these expectations of what this birthday was suppose to be. (to Pat and Isabelle) But you guys were right. I was acting like an old man. When I should've been singing Twist and Shout on a parade float. It means I took a good look in the mirror and I'm going to start acting my own age. edit »
- Joel: God, fifteen sucks. Look at me, I live with my parents, I can't get a credit card, and I have an oral report on Magellan in fifteen minutes.
Pat: Sounds like you, my friend, are homesick for thirty-five.
Joel: I am not going to let turning fifteen get in my way of celebrating my thirty-fifth birthday. Let's cut school.
Pat: And shave our heads. Or just cut school. edit » - Joel: Like Ferris Bueller said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it." edit »
- The episode title is an allusion to the 1986 comedy film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The movie stars Matthew Broderick as the title character. The movie was directed and written by John Hughes. edit »
