- Baby: Robbie? Robbie: What? Baby: Tell me a story. Robbie: Life stinks. The end. Edit
- Earl: (to Robbie) All I ask is that you do everything I say, exactly how I say it, immediately and without question. Now, is that being so unreasonable? Edit
- Fran: Earl Sinclair, if you hurt one scale on that boy's head so help me, I'll disconnect your premium cable channels! Earl: You'd make me watch BASIC? (Robbie tackles him) Edit

ADD ALLUSIONS
- The Sun Also Rises: The episode title is an allusion to the 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. It tells the story of a WWI veteran who becomes a journalist. During that time he begins to live an isolated life. Some say its because he couldn't handle the war, and thus was "less of a man." Similarly, in this episode, Earl is emasculated by Robbie when Robbie wins the right to be head of the household. Edit
