Murdock's Civilian Job: "Manager Trainee" in a coffee shop. He is seen cleaning under the kitchen benches and aspires to move up to the deep fryer. edit »

This was the series finale although another episode aired later, after the network pulled it out of its archives. On Murdock's T-shirt in this episode "Fini" (the French word for "end") is displayed. In the installment shown later, his shirt reads "almost fini". edit »

Murdock: Just think: if we get a pardon, we may never have to eat a knuckle sandwich again!
B.A.: I wouldn't bet on it crazy man. Looks like Hannibal's on the jazz again!
Face: Oh no...
Murdock: (to Hannibal) No, you tell me right now, you tell me right to my face, you tell me that you don't have a plan.
Hannibal: Well, I...I was thinking, like Bernie and George. What are we gonna do when this thing's over? I mean, what are we really qualified to do?
Face: Go after thugs in the park�
Hannibal: And outlaw motorcycle gangs�organized crime figures�why, there's a world of slime-balls out there!
Murdock: I knew it. I just knew you had a plan.
Hannibal: Comforting, isn't it?
B.A.: I'll get the van. edit »
Frankie: Oh, great. B.A., if this maniac doesn't kill us, we're all goin' to jail. I bet we don't get to collect $200, either. edit »
Nemchek: Those people are so afraid of me, they talk to me as little as possible.
Bernie: (laughs) Can't say as I blame them. edit »
Face: Since when did we go into the stray kid business?
Stockwell: Since the so-called "stray kid" became a national security risk.
Frankie: What'd she do -- smuggle some Clearasil out of the country? edit »

Frankie mentions going to jail and collecting $200.

This is an allusion to "Monopoly," a popular American board game where a penalty of jail time is assessed, and a normal collection of $200 is disallowed. edit »
Frankie references Clearasil.

Clearasil is a leading over-the-counter acne medication, most frequently used by teenagers like the one Frankie is discussing. edit »
