Money is now a big issue as ISIS faces pay cuts and other things but can hopefully get an investor in a wealthy Swiss businessman whose daughter is the target of a kidnapping and Archer and Lana are assigned to protect her with Malory trying to sell him on ISIS as an investment. Meanwhile the young girl tries to seduce Archer and needless to say hilarity ensues in a largely inappropriate way that Archer can most certainly get away with. Also Pam and Malory have a "rendezvous" with the Swiss man over drinks and I saw more of Pam than I ever needed too or will, oh and Gillette was there too. "Dick Stitches" should be a band name or something, just saying. Good premiere and kudos on the animation especially for the snowmobile chase as we finally get to see Archer handle the spy thing on his own in the cold without help.moreless

Notes
ADD NOTES
- The chase scene in this episode was originally written on skis. Art Director Neal Holman pointed out that if they used snowmobiles, they'd be seated the whole time and it would take less time and effort to animate.

- Creator Adam Reed says that the show had to be tweaked from the way it was originally written. Anka was originally 14 years old because that is the age of consent in Germany. FX turned it down, saying that "they didn't care where it was the age of consent, it wasn't the age of consent on FX."

- Malory: So if you want paper towels in there, you'll just have to supply your own. (murmurs of disapproval from the group) Archer: Are you kidding? Where do you get paper towels? Malory: And, last item, on a related note, I have no choice but to cut salaries... (more murmuring from the group) 8% across the board. (more murmuring/shouting) And let's just put a lid on it. Archer: Do we have to supply our own lids?

- Malory: Sterling Malory Archer, you will not touch a single hair on that girl! Archer: I... See? How I let that just go by. Look at me. I am the perfect gentleman.

- Anka: Ray, what is a - what did you call it - blow job? Ray: Shame on you, fie and shame! And it's something a grownup does when he loves another grownup.

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Archer claims that he attended the "Lars Larsson Snowmobiling Experience". Lars Larsson was the man who designed the Snow Trac in 1954. It is a type of snowmobile that is fully enclosed, and roughly the same size as a car.

- Ray: (stuck on lift, sees lasers in distance) Ooh, Pink Floyd show! (he hears gunfire and realizes they are laser sights) Oh man, I'm gonna be in trouble. Triple dukes. Pink Floyd was a British rock band largely popular in the 1960s and 70s. Some of their biggest hits include "Another Brick in the Wall", "Money", and "Comfortably Numb". Their music is often played at laser shows.

- The snowmobile chase sequence is very reminiscent of the chase sequence in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
