- Near the end of the commercial Ralph and Ed were doing, Ralph injuries his hand with the utensil. While walking around yelling, and shaking his hand, Jackie runs into one of the fake walls, knocks it over, and falls with it. This was unscripted, and is classic Gleason just "going with the flow." edit »
- In the making of this episode, a piece of the utencil flies off towards the audience. Ralph goes over to it, picks it up, and says "Maybe we should mention something about spear fishing" This was not scripted, and occured during the live production. edit »
- Ralph: We can't lose.
Norton: Can't lose, huh? That's what you said when you bought the parking lot next to where they were building up the movie house there. You said, "People going to the movies got to have a place to park their car."
Ralph: How did I know they were building a drive-in theater? edit » - Norton: If my wife Trixie is looking in, and when I get home she says, "I told you so," I'm gonna belt her right in the mouth! edit »
- Ralph: I wish you would stop talking like that, nervous, you're gonna get yourself all Norton. edit »
- Ralph: This is probably the biggest thing I ever got into!
Alice: The biggest thing you ever got into was your pants. edit » - Ed: (shouts) And now, back to Charlie Chan! edit »
