  EDIT SHARE
- Shanks: It breaks my heart to bring this up, but, that damn robot coach Hazen, he murdered my parents, right in front of my eyes! So, it was either become Batman, or a football coach... who would one day, lead a rag-tag bunch of heroes to victory against their killer... who also happened to be a football coach.
  EDIT SHARE
- Coach Hazen: One time he said I raped his parents, another time he said I killed his dog, and one time, he said I made his dog rape his parents!
  EDIT SHARE
- Robot: Rub rub rub rub rub my robot ass!

NOTES (4)
ADD NOTES

  EDIT SHARE
- If you look carefully you can see the Ocean Bottom Nightmare band from 'Splitsville' are in the robot prison
  EDIT SHARE
- Capt. Murphy only appears briefly early in the episode with no dialog.

  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Robots: Security guard's "eyes"
  The robot security guards's "eyes" move back and forth like the robots in Battlestar Galactica.
  EDIT SHARE
- Tornado Shanks: (Shanks' closing words)
  Tornado's little speech to the crew at the end of the episode seems to be the writer's anticipating negative fan reactions to Captain Murphey being replaced by Tornado. Highy opinionated "wussy" blogs on chat rooms are a common form of venting when fans get angry at TV shows.
