- Charlene: AHH! Mom, my clothes are gone, my sweaters, my blouses, my shoes, EVERYTHING! Robbie: My guitar's missing and my amps are too. Fran: Some security system, Earl. Earl: Everybody relax, I know exactly where your stuff is. In fact, I better see how it's doing. (cut to a female dinosaur rummaging through everything on the front lawn 'yard sale') Lady: Could you go a little lower on this guitar? Baby: No haggling, prices as marked. Lady: How much for the high chair? Baby: It's not for sale. Earl: Sixty bucks. Baby: Hey! Fran: That chair is not for sale. Lady: I'll give you two bucks for the blouse. Fran: Look, there is no yard sale! Edit
- Fran: That mug, that awful mug is the root of this whole mess. You're lucky you put in that security system or else I'd walk in there right now and smash it to pieces! Earl: Fran, that mug as you call it has made us happier than we've ever been. If you weren't so angry you'd see that. Edit

- The plot device where Baby Sinclair tries to steal the Captain Willie mug is an allusion to Indiana Jones trying to steal a golden idol in "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
