    • Near the end of the episode, when Sam has the amulet Danny goes into a bathroom and discovers the dragon stealing Paulina. However, the bathroom he went in was the girls room.
    • Right before Sam goes over to Paulina to call her shallow, her lipstick is a bluish color.
    • When Sam first left for the dance she was holding a cat purse, but it isn't seen again for the remainder of the episode.
    • When Sam and Tucker leave for the Dance, Sam is wearing violet colored high heels, but when they are at the dance and Sam leaves to find Paulina, she's wearing her regular combat boots.
    • Mr. Lancer passes by the same frowning couple twice at the dance.
    • Near the beginning of the episode, when Sam tells Danny to go over to Paulina, at lunch in school, Sam's lipstick is a lighter shade of purple.
    • After the theme song, Danny, Tucker, and Sam are outside eating lunch. At first, Danny's sandwich doesn't have anything on it, but after Tucker sits down, it suddenly has lettuce on it.
    • Paulina tells Danny that she hasn't taken off the amulet since he gave it to her, but in the scene when Danny knocks Paulina (who was a dragon at the moment) out, the amulet flies off her neck, then she turns back to normal. Although she did not technically "take it off," it still counts as off.
    • At the mall, when Sam says "Does he have to take off his pants and act like a dweeb or will either one do?," the camera closes up on her face and she has pupils. Also, her shirt, normally with no sleeves, had really long sleeves.
    • Paulina's left hairclip disappears from time to time, especially near the beginning and the middle.

    • Danny: Take it easy Paulina, you don't want to hurt Sam... (Sees Paulina in the dragon's claws) Paulina? (Looks to the Dragon Ghost) Sam? Dragon Ghost: Shallow girl! Danny: Yep, that's Sam.
    • Paulina: (After Danny falls over) Oh, please don't say you've suddenly fallen for me. That line is so last semester.
    • Jack Fenton: Thank you, thank you all, on behalf of me, Jack Fenton!
    • (Danny and Tucker are drooling over Paulina) Sam: Oh please, Paulina? Girls like that are a dime a dozen. Danny: (To Tucker) How much change you got? Sam: (Sarcastically) Ha, ha, very funny.
    • Danny: Catch anything, Dad? Jack: (Holding Fenton Fisher) Son, I couldn't catch a cold. I've been sitting here all day without a single bite. Danny: (Holding parent teacher conference note) Uhhh... Jack: I'm so frustrated, I want to take out my rage on the first person who gives me bad news. Anyway, you wanted to tell me something? Danny: Well, sort of. Mr. Lancer... Jack: Mr. Lancer what? (Angrily) Is this bad news? Danny: (Hides note behind his back) Mr. Lancer... (Smiles, and then overshadows Jack when he looks away) ... wants to have a word with us!
    • Tucker: (To girl, trying to ask her to the dance) Hey, there. I... Girl #1: No. Tucker: (To another girl)) Hi, would you... ? Girl #2: Forget it. (Another girl walks by) Girl #3: No! Tucker: I didn't ask you yet! (Walks over to Danny & Sam eating) Danny: Strike three, Tuck? Tucker: Try strike three thousand.
    • Danny: (After beating Dragon Ghost) Whew. That's a relief. Jack: (Running back from the bathroom, holding sodas) I'll tell you what a relief is. Darn, I almost forgot. (Jack runs off-screen, flushing of toilet is heard)
    • (Outside of Paulina's house) Danny: (Talking to himself; getting prepared to ask Paulina for the amulet) Paulina, about the amulet: it's an ancient family heirloom and I need to get it back. (Smiles; slaps his face and sighs) No, that stinks... (Door opens; Paulina's dad walks out) Danny: Um, hi! You must be Paulina's dad! Paulina's Dad: (Angry) If you upset her, we're going to have a violent talk. Paulina: Papa! You're scaring him! Come on, Danny, we're going to be late. (Walks down the steps) Paulina's Dad: Have a wonderful evening, baby! (Turns back to Danny, angrily) I know where you live. Danny: (Nervously) And I'm glad we had a chance to chat!
    • Mr. Lancer: I like your style, Mr. Fenton. In fact, I'd like you to chaperone the upcoming school dance. Danny: (In Jack's body) Chaperone? Well, I'm not sure... Mr. Lancer: I am. See you Friday. Or, (Holds up the "How to Speak Hip for the Un-Hip" book) as the kids say, "Catch you later, G!"
    • Sam: Promise me you'll keep your pants up? Danny: I'll do my best! Tucker: (Realizes Sam was his date) Wait a second. I'm dateless again?! What does a guy have to do to get hooked up around here?! Ghost Girl: I want to go to the ball! Tucker: On second thought, I don't need a date that badly. Hey guys, wait up! Come on! Can I cut in?
    • Dragon Ghost: I want to go! I have to go! Danny: You'll have to wait in line behind my dad.
    • Danny: (After discovering that the amulet he gave Paulina has the ability to turn people into a dragon) Wait. You mean...I'm going on a date with a dragon?! Sam: Like I said: looks are deceiving. I'm sure you boys will have a wonderful evening. (signs off) Danny: She really wants to go to the dance. Tucker: But she said she didn't want to! Danny: We're her best friends; we should have known. Tucker: Well, there's nothing we can do about it now, right? (Danny gets an idea; his eyes glow green) No way. Forget it. Absolutely not! NO!
    • Mr. Lancer: (Reading from "How to Speak Hip for the Un-Hip" at the dance) "Let's get down with our bad selves." "Yo, shake that thing." "Hey, G, you're my dog."
    • Jazz: By the way, Danny, just so you know, I'm on to your little secret. Danny: (Spits out water in astonishment) What?! Jazz: The clumsiness, the nervousness. I can't believe I didn't figure it out before. You have a girlfriend! Danny: It's a lie, I'm not a ghost -- I mean, she's not my girlfriend. She's just going to the dance with me. Jack: Great, I can't wait to meet her. So I can blather about ghosts! Jazz: You better let her know your family's insane now, Danny. If you marry her and she finds out later, that's entrapment.
    • Danny: (About overshadowing a girl so Tucker can get a date) Forget it. You can get your own date for the dance, like I did. Sam: Does he have to take off his pants and act like a dweeb, or will either one do?
    • Tucker: (To Danny) Thanks to you, I now know the quickest way to a woman's heart: clean boxers.
    • Dragon Ghost: Must have tee! Danny: Tea? Ooh, good idea. Coffee can make you a mite jittery. Better yet, have some punch! (Punches Dragon Ghost)
    • Tucker: (To Danny, when a ghost shows up at the mall) Ghost time. Can I finish your fries?
    • (Danny's pants fall down) Paulina: (Laughing) A gentleman usually tips his hat, but I'll give you points for originality. Sam: Kudos, Danny, you just set an all-time speed record for drowning in the shallow end on the gene pool. Paulina: Oh no, you did not just call me shallow, did you? Sam: If you mean do I think I can stand in a puddle full of you and not get my feet wet? Then, yeah.
    • Danny: (About asking Paulina to the dance) I can't, I get weak-kneed when I try to talk to cute girls. Sam: (Angry) Oh, and you absolutely have no problem talking to me? Danny: Uh, um.. Sam: Skip it! Go give your weak knees some exercise.
    • Mr. Lancer: Well, there were a couple of incidents... with his pants. Danny: (In Jack's body) Did his pants fall down again? Oh, poor Danny! He studies so hard, he forgets to eat. I know these things because I'm his dad, and not him.
    • Mr. Lancer: Pantless again, Mr. Fenton? That's the third time this week I've caught you... how do you kids say it? (Holds up book called "How to Speak Hip for the Un-Hip") "Dropping trou." I think it's time I saw your father for a parent-teacher conference. Danny: Oh, man... my dad? Mr. Lancer: In the meantime, here. (Gives Danny a belt) It'll keep your pants up, and (Holds up book again) "Out of trouble with the man."

    • Dragon Ghost: Appearance The Dragon Ghost has some resemblance to Godzilla. Both are reptilians with different colored flames, similar physique and even share the same roar.
    • Sam: Hairstyle The way Sam wore her hair in black strands on both sides looked incredibly similar to Teranee on "W.I.T.C.H.
    • Paulina: (While wearing the Amulet of Aragon, gets angry and becomes a dragon) The fact that the person who wears the Amulet of Aragon must be under extreme distress or angry to transform into the Dragon Ghost seems to be somewhat related to how Bruce Banner must be under extreme anger to become The Incredible Hulk.
    • Amulet of Aragon: Name Eragon is a famous novel written by Christopher Paloni, which tells a tale of a young farm boy named Eragon who finds a blue stone in a mystical mountain place that hatches a beautiful sapphire-blue dragon. The Amulet of Aragon was likely inspired by this novel; note the dragon. More Info
    • Store: Abyss The name of the clothing store that Paulina went to in the Amity Park Mall was called "Abyss," which is a parody of the popular real-life clothing store called "Gap." More Info
    • Danny: (In Jack's body, to Mr. Lancer) Right, right, but in this light, I thought you were George Clooney. Isn't he sharp, Mom? I mean, Maddie! George Clooney is an American actor who is best noted for his dashing good looks.
    • Ghost Girl: All I wanted was to go to the costume ball, and my horrid mommy won't let me! This seems reminiscent to the tale of Cinderella. More Info
    • Amity Park: Name In this episode, it is revealed that Danny lives in Amity Park. The name could be taken from the movie, The Amityville Horror.
