The "mace" that Peggy uses is actually a Morning Star or Medieval Flail. A mace didn't have the chain.
Nitpick: On the chalkboard, the message is "Senora Peggy Hill Esta Loco". The correct phrase should have been "Senora Peggy Hill Esta Loca". This might not be a goof, knowing Peggy's (the teacher's) knowledge of Spanish.
Bill: I bet if Peggy wanted to she could grow a moustache! Hank: (Glares at Bill) Bill: Of course I don't know if she wanted to.
Dale: My son is dreaming about getting spanked by Hank's wife. Bill: Well that's not so unusual.
Bill: My daddy spanked me everyday from when I was 9 till I was 16, and I turned out okay. (pauses for a moment) Bastard!
(Peggy is in her garden crying, and Cotton approaches her) Cotton: How's Bobby? Peggy: He's just fine, but my information about him is a little dated. He hasn't spoken to me since I got fired for spanking a student!. (starts to cry again) Cotton: What did you do, Kill him?! Peggy: No!
Cotton: I got a friend from the VFW He's the principal of that school, He will have you back spanking in no time. Peggy: I just want my job back. Cotton: Shut up before you talk me out of it.
Joseph: Your Mom's as cool as most people's Dads. Bobby: It's like that book they took out of the school library I've Got Two Dads. Hank: (from some distance away) No, you don't!
Peggy: (About Spanish Inquisition) Some times, they would tie your arms and legs to four different horses and tear you apart. Dooley: Cool.
(Everyone is frightened as Peggy tries to find out who took her paddle) Peggy: Well, somebody took it. Dale: It was Bill. Bill: No it wasn't. Dale: Alright, it was me. I took it. Somebody had to stop you, you're crazy.
Luanne: (Very excitedly) Guess who won best French manicurist at beauty academy today? (Family completely ignores her and continues their discussion) Luanne: All right, it was Sharona Johnson. It's not fair, she works really hard.
Tagline: "Tu eres muerto. (Translation: You are dead.)" - Dooley
The title is a play on the 1967 movie To Sir, with Love, starring Sidney Poitier as an inner-city high school teacher who makes a difference. Poitier's character, like Peggy Hill, is victimized by a student's nasty prank and must also overcome the discipline issue while trying to hold his own anger in check.
Monty Python connection:
There are references in this episode to both Michael Palin and the Spanish Inquisition. Michael Palin was a member of the British sketch-comedy troupe Monty Python's Flying Circus, who performed many memorable sketches.
