- You can tell that Esther Rolle (who is about 53 at the time of this episode) was made to look young for the series. Her hair was probably suppose to be naturally gray, but it's jet black with a patch of gray in the front. Near the end of the episode when her character, Florida, is trying to make a point about making dishonest money, you can see hair dye running down her face in front of her ear. edit »
- Willona: You know how it is at Borgen's, they're selling yesterday's food at next week's prices. edit »
- Willona: The way they rip you off at Bargain's, $50 won't get you $10 worth of groceries. edit »
- Florida: Willona? You're sticking up for stealing?
Willona: No I'm not stickin' up for stealin', honey. I'm stickin' up for stickin' it to the dudes that stuck it into James! edit » - Rev. Gordon: Perhaps! edit »
