Notes

- The Major Duncan character would also appear four episodes later in "Lieutenant O'Rourke, Front and Center." Edit
- Major Duncan is the of two F Troop guest roles for James Gregory, who also played Big Jim Parker in "Carpetbagging, Anyone?" Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Agarn: Now, don't bug me, Vanderbilt. This is a balanced meal. Vanderbilt: Yes, it is. These biscuits weigh as much as the main course! Edit
- Wild Eagle: I pay you $24 and a handful of beads. O'Rourke: Now wait a minute. You're out of line. Wild Eagle: Seem fair to me. You people buy entire island of Manhattan for same price. Agarn: Aw, it was a lousy deal, chief. In a hundred years, they won't get a nickel for that place. Edit
- Wild Eagle: (placing meat order) How about some nice squab? Maybe six. Agarn: Half a dozen skinny, little chickens. Wild Eagle: Agarn good man, O'Rourke, but have no class. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Character name "Standup Bull" is a combination of "standup comedian" and "Sitting Bull," the renowned chief of the Hunkpapa Sioux. Sitting Bull was instrumental in the Battle of Little Big Horn, where General Custer and the 7th Cavalry were wiped out. Edit
