Quotes

add »
(to B.A.)
Murdock: Come on, you little teddy bear. Open those big brown eyes and give us a growl. I'm worried about him, Hannibal. It's been almost a full day and we haven't insulted each other. I think I may go into withdrawal soon. (edit)
B.A.: Get off me, sucker! You feed me your hat again, sucker, and I promise you you won't have a head to wear it on. Now where are we? How did we get here? You suckers drugged me, didn't you?
Murdock: What a grump, ya know? Cranky in the morning, cranky all day.
(edit)
(B.A. has been drugged before a flight)
Amy: He really does look so peaceful when he sleeps.
Face: Well, at least this time he went out with a smile on his face. (edit)
Leslie: Go with God
Murdock: I always travel first class. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When the jeep makes a spectacular launch in the big fight near the end of the episode, the driver is clearly a stunt driver wearing a big, black helmet -- and his passenger is a plastic dummy. (edit)
Goof: When Face is involved in a fistfight by the waterhole the rifle of the first man falls on the ground. After Face calls for B.A., the rifle is suddenly gone. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Murdock: Do not pass go. Do not collect your $200.

This alludes to the Parker Brothers board game Monopoly where players can draw a card that sends them to jail and not allow them to collect any winnings on their way. (edit)
Murdock: Beam us up, Scotty.

This expression is an allusion to the science fiction television series Star Trek in which Captain Kirk frequently gives this command to his transporter chief Montgomery "Scotty" Scott when he wants to return to the ship. (edit)
