Ben admonishes Joe to get his feet off the table. This would become a recurring joke that would be used throughout the rest of the run.
Featured Cartwright: Hoss
The violent death of Hoss' mother is referenced in this episode.
Possible line flub: After Billy cuts his finger with a pocket knife, Hoss bandages it and says, "If that finger doesn't get to feeling better, you let me hear, you know?" It probably should have been: "you let me know, you hear?"
Hop Sing: Mr. Hoss, what happened to little boy? What you doing in Hop Sing kitchen? Hoss (with powdered sugar on face and front of clothing): I just brung your knife back, Hop Sing. Hop Sing: That so? The little boy take knife. The big boy take a doughnut. (wagging a finger at Hoss) Bad boy, very bad boy. Hoss (exiting quickly): I, I got some really important things to be doing, Hop Sing. I'll see ya.
Ben: Get your feet off the table! Joe (taking his feet off the table): Hey Hoss, how do you suppose you and I grew up to be so sweet-tempered with such a grouch for a pa? Hoss: Oh Little Joe, I reckon he must of been a might more mellower when he was younger.
