(Mrs. Dubcek has just left the aliens in their apartment)
Dick: Sally, I want you to observe her, find out what women on this planet do.
Sally: Why can't Harry do it?
Dick: Well because you're the woman.
Sally: That brings up a very good question: why am I the woman?
Dick: ...Because you lost.
Mrs. Dubcek: This carpet has seen more butt's than Santa Claus' lap.
Dick: Leon, of course it's wrong! The odds against your being right are... staggering! You have a great advantage - you know the outcome. You will be wrong. Don't fear it, embrace your wrongness!
Dick: Why do they call themselves the human race? Do they think someone is going to win?
Mary: You're coming on to me. Dick: I've no idea what that means.
Dick: (Observing a couple making out) Look, life-forms... and they're cleaning each other.
(Dick arrives at a party) Woman: May I take your coat? Dick: If I can keep my pants!
Dick: Our home for this mission is Earth, a third-rate planet. I got a teaching job at a third-rate university. Now we're looking for a third-floor apartment.
Harry: Dick, I can't see through my eyelids. Sally: Open them. Harry: Oh, they're manual.
Mary: Will you tell Dr. Solomon he parked in my space again? Nina: You parked in her space again. Dick: I know, it was empty. Mary: Will you tell him I'm going to have him towed? Dick: Tell her I already have all the toes I need; I am fully-formed.
Sally: Trust me, Dick, women are trouble. I should know, I've been one for two weeks!
Harry: Women. You can't live with 'em, and yet they're everywhere.
(Sally is wearing a revealing dress) Nina: (sarcasticly) Nice dress. Sally: I just threw it on. Nina: Yeah, well, you almost missed.
Dick: I think we underestimated the life on this planet. The people have so much courage. Here they are hurling through space on a malting rock on at 67000 miles an hour and the only thing that keeps them from flying out of their shoes is their misplaced faith in gravity.
Mary: For future reference I have a red Volvo. Dick: Please, Dr. Albright, we barely know each other.
Nina: Is your wife out of town? Dick: Er, Mrs. Solomon is no longer with us. She... er, burnt up on re-entry. Nina: I had a boyfriend who used to burn up on re-entry. He walks with a limp now!
Jane Curtin receives the "And" credit.
In the opening shot, the fold in the set wall is visible in the starry sky.
The set in this episode is slightly different from what it would become. Upon entering, Mrs. Dubcek brings them up from what would become, Dick's bedroom, instead of the stairs. The kitchen, however, appears to be the same.
The office in which Dick and Mary work in is different then it is in the rest of the series
The music at the end is Secret O' Life by James Taylor.
Ian Lithgow (Leon) is actually John Lithgow's son.
Physicist Brian Greene has written dialogue for John Lithgow's character.
