      • Lisa serves uncooked spaghetti for breakfast. Oliver tells her to boil water; she does, but cooks spaghetti without water in another pot.

Later, while attempting pizza, she seen beating the dough with a hammer.

      • (Oliver suggests Lisa play Granny in The Beverly Hillbillies)
        Oliver
        : Mrs. Douglas would be perfect for the part. She played on the Hungarian stage and she wouldn't need any makeup.
        Lisa: Oliver!!

      • (reading the "improved" script for The Beverly Hillbillies)
        Eb (as Jethro)
        : What is Granny going to make for supper tonight?
        Lisa (as Elly May): Breast of pollywog with possum soose and crawdad turnovers.
        Eb
        : Goooooody!
        Lisa: Why don't you set yourself down on your you all and I will go out to the see-mint pond and catch us a barracuda.

      • (reading the "improved" script for The Beverly Hillbillies)
        Eb (as Jethro)
        : Hello Elly May.
        Lisa (as Elly May)
        : Howdy Jethro, you all.
        Eb: Do you know where Granny is at, Elly May?
        Lisa: She all went down to the root cellar to get a parcel of turned-up greens.

      • Haney: (hands Oliver flowers to give to Eb) Now these are for the sick-ee. Oliver: The sick-ee? Haney: Yeah, that's the feller who's sick. I thought you understood that legal talk.

      • Lisa: (discussing The Beverly Hillbillies) I like that show, especially the man who plays the father: Buddy Epstein.

      • Doc Wilson:(checking Eb after his wreck) Was he unconscious at any time? Oliver: With him, it's hard to tell.

    • NOTES (3)

      ADD NOTES
      • The actress playing Miss Tillie Mumford was not credited in this episode.

      • Eb's remark about Paul Henning not caring about them 'changing the dialog of the script as long as he doesn't know about it'is an in-joke referring to Henning's well-known refusal to let actors or other writers change the authentic hillbilly words and phrases he used in his scripts for Beverly Hillbillies.

      • Paul Henning created The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and Green Acres. Lisa, Oliver and Eb once appeared on The Beverly Hillbillies, even though they regarded it as a TV show.
