- Margaret says she's examining Flagg's ribs and Hawkeye asks if they should send out for sauce. As we saw in the Season 3 episode "Adam's Ribs," Hawkeye has quite a weakness for ribs with sauce. edit »
- Trapper says that Flagg broke his own arm the last time he was at the 4077th. But the last time Flagg came to the 4077th before this episode was early in Season 3 ("Officer of the Day"). The broken arm incident happened much earlier, during Season 2 ("A Smattering of Intelligence"). Trapper had to deal with Flagg directly during "Officer of the Day" so you'd think he would remember that visit. edit »
- Notice the lock on the door to the supply hut the second time someone breaks in. One moment it is locked, the next it is open. edit »
- This marked the farewell performance of the late Stafford Repp (Sergeant Clay), who succumbed to a heart attack at age 66 on November 5, 1974, 4 months before this episode's telecast on CBS. Repp is best remembered for his role of Chief O'Hara on Batman (ABC, 1966-68). edit »
- Margaret (about Flagg): He's CIA!
Hawkeye: I wouldn't care if he was COD.
Trapper: Then we could refuse him. edit » - Henry: I'll not have anyone tortured at the 4077th, Frank! We're a hospital!
Frank: Well, we're also army!
Henry: You're army! I'll bet if I cut you, you'd bleed khaki! edit » - Frank (about Flagg): He ordered me to leave! He's a superior officer!
Henry: He's a superior psycho! His head's so twisted he's got to screw his cap on! edit » - Flagg: No drugs.
Hawkeye: A little Novocaine in your head, you'll never know the difference.
Flagg: Negative! If I lose control, you guys don'thave the clearance to hear what's in my head.
Hawkeye: I haven't got the stomach for it. edit » - (Col. Flagg comes to relieve Major Burns, who is guarding the prisoner)
Frank: Oh, but my orders are...
Flagg: The CIA can supersede anyone's orders!
Frank: Except the President's, of course.
Flagg: Give us time. edit »
