      ADD TRIVIA

      • Mike Murphy (the bully) is also the name of a member of the production staff on the show.

      • Murph was unhappy with Kyle for calling a timeout during dodgeball, the same "infraction" for which young Jim was unhappy with young Reverend Pierson in episode "Father Disfigure."

    • QUOTES (4)

      ADD QUOTES

      • Jim: No, no. No, no. No, there's no fight here. No fight here, baby. Because I'm invoking a special powers clause of the fatherhood act. Now! Cheryl: I was led to believe that special powers didn't kick in until puberty. Andy: I know mine did.

      • Cheryl: Jim, did it ever occur to you that maybe if your mother hugged you more you wouldn't have turned out this way? Jim: My mother hugged me plenty. Especially when she was being dragged to the cop car.

      • (Jim interrupts Cheryl and Kyle's playing) Cheryl: Jim, we're hugging. There's nothing wrong with that. Jim: Nothing wrong with hugging? What are we raising here, a man or a mouse?

      • (after Jim whispers to the unborn baby and then leaves the kitchen) Dana: What did he say to you?
