• Bus Carter: I hope you yahoos enjoy your little trip courtesy Carter Railways. Unfortunately, though, there ain't no return tickets.
  Face: I've always wanted to see the country by rail. [edit]
• Face: I really appreciate your trusting me like that.
  Woman in Dressing Room: Let's just say I liked your face.
  Face: Oh? Do I have an honest face?
  Woman in Dressing Room: No, but I like it. [edit]
• Face: All right, I want all you high-school dropouts to count to 125 before you even twitch. [edit]

• Face: Adios, Mr. Bonanza! (He pushes Bus Carter out of the helicopter.)
  
  The television western Bonanza ran on NBC from 1959 to 1973. Unlike Bus Carter and his hired help, however, the Cartwrights were the good guys. [edit]
• Murdock: Here, take care of Waco for me. (He pronounces it "Wacko.")
  
  Hannibal: That's Waco, Murdock. (He pronounces it "Way-co.")
  
  Waco is, of course, a city in Texas that is home to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame, among other things. It was also the name of a 1966 western movie starring Howard Keel, Jane Russell, and Star Trek's DeForest Kelly in a bit part. There's also a "Waco Kid" in Blazing Saddles and "Waco Johnnie Dean" in Winchester '73.
  
  However, Murdock pronounces it "Wacko" because he's a pilot. The Weaver Aircraft Corporation was founded in Lorain, Ohio, in 1920 and was quickly nicknamed "Waco" (pronounced "Wacko"). Murdock flies a Waco biplane in the second half of the two-part pilot episode "Mexican Slayride." [edit]
• After Face, Hannibal, and B.A. have been captured by Carter's men, Murdock jumps on Ed, who rears up and gallops off while the "William Tell Overture" plays underneath. "Just like the real Range Rider," says Daniel Running Bear -- but the "William Tell Overture" was the theme song for The Lone Ranger, not The Range Rider. The Lone Ranger also rode a white horse like Ed; the Range Rider's horse was a buckskin. [edit]
