The "flute thing" that Jeffy mentions to call a snake is a reference to snake charming, which involves playing an oboe, which is in the woodwind family of instruments along with the flute.
Running Gag: My soul's waves of grain. When Trent needs a lyric, someone suggests this same lyric.
Daria: Welcome to It's a Nutty, Nutty, Nutty World, we're just nuts about nuts. Kevin: (trying to keep up) Welcome to... Crunch Munch nuts... World of... nuts. Manager: You almost had it, try again after me: Welcome to It's a Nutty, Nutty, Nutty World. Kevin: Uh, like, welcome to Nuts World. Manager: Nutty, Nutty, Nutty World! Kevin: Uh, Nuts World, Nutty Nutty, um, uh, lunch. Manager:No! Kevin: Hey, don't worry, I'll get it right for the customers.
Helen: Jane, do you need an attorney? I don't do criminal work but I'll get you someone. Don't say anything to anyone until we get over there.
Daria: Now you're making me smile. Figuratively speaking.
Kevin: Wow! That's your third sale. I thought you brains only knew about school stuff, but, like, you know how to sell nuts, too. Amazing. Daria: Yes, Kevin. You'd be surprised how handy a command of basic literacy skills can be.
Jane: Misery loves company. Daria: You don't have to tell me that. It's the basis of our whole friendship.
Daria: You're going to counsel me? Of course. It's some kind of cosmic payback for being too ironic. Tiffany: (reading) You...too...can learn to...make... Daria: ...Yes? Tiffany: ...friends. Making friends is... Daria: Fun? Interesting? Impossible? Tiffany: ...important. Friends can be very... Daria: Useful? Supportive? Purple?! What?! Tiffany: You made me lose my place!
Helen: (looking at Daria's career aptitude test) A MORTICIAN? Daria: Hey, it's not my fault. Neck model was already taken. Helen: (reading) "Your lack of interest in personal interaction makes you an ideal candidate for working with the dead"? Daria, have you given any thought to your career plans? Daria: I guess I'll just wait around for people to kick the bucket. Helen: I can't believe you're not more ambitious! Daria: You want me to kill people to drum up business?
Quinn: A-hem, does anyone notice anything special about me? Daria: Yes, from just the right angle, I really can see through your head. Quinn: My neck! I got my career aptitude test results at school today, and they said I have a future as a neck model for jewelry catalogues. Daria: So your head would serve as sort of an accent piece?
Helen: Daria, did you take a career aptitude test? Daria: I don't remember. Helen: So, I have to call the school to get your results. Daria: If you so choose. Helen: (with an evil grin) Or maybe I'll just drop by in person to give you a surprise snack for your lunch box, pop into class and give it to you myself. Daria: All right, all right! (handing over the crumpled test) That's check and mate.
Boss: Congratulations, Daria. You're our salesperson of the day. Daria: I always dreamed of the day my picture would hang in a nut house.
Jane: I can't believe it. Finally, someone I know is attacked by animals, and I and my video camera are nowhere to be found. Daria: I'm not sure if cute little furballs milling around your feet really constitutes an attack. Jane: Hey, you don't know what they were thinking.
Mr. DeMartino: My congratulations, Miss Lane. You've done it again. Jane: Perfect record. I've gotten the same thing three years in a row. Daria: (reading) "Accountant"? Jane: That's what happens when you fill in the letter "C" for every answer. Gets the whole test over within five minutes.
(Jesse and Trent are trying to write a song) Jesse: My soul's waves of grain? Trent: I heard that somewhere before...
Jane: Monster trucks and naked models! Naked, naked, naked!
Daria & Kevin: Welcome to "It's a Nutty Nutty Nutty World." We're just nuts about nuts.
Boy: I want this puppy! Quinn: Oh, no! Thats Fifi. She's my favorite. Boy: (loudly) But I want that one! Woman: What is going on over here? Quinn: OH NO!! Where's Joanne? Woman: Who's Joanne? Quinn: Mr. Matthews said not to let the puppies' little paws touch the rough floor, so I put them on the lid from Joanne's cage. Woman: (urgently) Who's Joanne? Quinn: How did she get over the side of the cage?! Don't boa constrictors have gravity? (woman screams and runs out with kid)
Kevin: Uh, where are the almonds? Daria: Right here. Where the sign that says "almonds". That is the same barrel with the picture of the almond on it. Kevin: Oh, thanks! (turns around) Where'd you point again?
Kevin: Hey, Daria! Where are the peanuts? Daria: Try the peanut bin, you idiot!

Character: Mr. Matthews Mr. Matthews resembles a character from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series named Hodgesaargh. Hodgesaargh is the falcon keeper for Lancre Castle. He's very concerned about his animals, but little else, and he's usually sporting many bandages, especially on his ear.
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World The name of the nut stand that Daria and Kevin work at (It's a Nutty, Nutty, Nutty, Nutty World) is a pun of the title of the 1965 classic comedy film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. The film starred just about every living comedic actor at the time, and involved a crazy cross-country race to find buried treasure. It was remade in 2000 as Rat Race.
Title Pun: It Happened One Nut The episode's title alludes to the famous 1934 romantic comedy It Happened One Night, directed by Frank Capra, and starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.
