Mr. Howell offered Barkley a single $10,000 bill and later found the $10,000 bill from the radio. Bills larger than $100 were removed from circulation in 1969 by presidential order, since they allowed the easy transport of large sums of money by criminal organizations.
Radio Announcer: Now, he must exist with nothing but the clothes on his back and without help from anyone. Would you take that dare? Think of it! $10,000! Gilligan: I'm thinking of it. It's making me sick. Skipper: Why? Because this fellow's gonna get $10,000? Gilligan: Yeah. And I'm doing it for nothin'!
Mr. Howell: Pick up two pails of fish? A Howell??? Skipper: Well, somebody took 'em. Mr. Howell: Perhaps a pail of diamonds. Mrs. Howell: Perhaps a pail of goldfish? Mr. Howell: (laughing) Gold! Lovey, you made a witty one!
Professor: Mr. Barclay's attitude is quite simple to understand. Mr. Howell: I don't understand it. Professor: Well, it's based on money. Mr. Howell: I understand.
Mary Ann : Gilligan, I think you're a little confused. Gilligan: No, I'm not. If the man can stay on the deserted fish for a week, he gets 10,000 pails.
Theme of episode: Some people settle for hamburger when they could have filet mignon.
Gilligan says "Sorry about that, Chief," to the Skipper, one of Don Adams' standard lines from rival comedy "Get Smart."
