Quotes

add »
(to Steve)
Bryk: Big words for such a little man. (edit)
(talking about Fitzhugh)
Bryk: Now for the little fat one. (edit)

Melzac: You'll do that too. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Allegedly midway through the episode the producers noticed that Valerie was showing a bit too much cleavage. They put a kind of "cleavage" patch on, but because the scenes weren't filmed in sequence, it appears and disappears several times. She starts with no patch, then it appears when she gets dumped in the box, then it disappears when she and Fitz are put in the plane. Then it reappears again when she appears in the graveyard, and disappears after she wakes up from being stunned, and remains gone for the rest of the episode. (edit)
Supposedly alien planet: The giants use the cliche "curiosity killed the cat" (edit)
