Murphy: (speaking of Steele)You've gone a whole day without him. Laura, It's just like smoking, the longer you stay away, the less craving you'll have. So! Dinner, now, with me. I love it when I'm forceful. (edit) Steele: Where's fourth gear?
Morrie: Fourth gear? I haven't used the fourth gear since, what was the year the astronauts walked on the moon.
Steele: Sixty-nine, I think.
Morrie: That was the year. But it's there someplace. Just keep shaking the stick! (edit) Steele: I just want you kids to be happy.
Laura: The hell you do! (edit)

CONTINUITY

*After Morrie hits Murphy, pieces of crystal magically disappear from the floor.
*When Mr. Steele and Morrie leave the office, Steele takes his coat from somewhere behind his office door. However, when, earlier, he and Morrie went into his office, the only things that were there were an empty coat rack and an empty chair; Mr. Steele wasn't wearing the coat, either. (edit) Goofs or unexplained events/questions

*The date when Steele and Morrie visit Hershel is 1-15-83, which doesn't agree with the date of the original broadcast - 2-11-83.

*How does Laura know Hershel has been dead for two months? The receptionist never said that. (edit)

Steele cites the 1968 Steve McQueen caper vehicle The Thomas Crown Affair. Series star Pierce Brosnan would go on to produce and star in a remake of that film 31 years later. (edit) MOVIES
