- Near the middle of the episode, right before Duckman calls his family to let them know he'll be home as soon as he can, the family and Dennehy were singing "Do-Re-Mi" by Julie Andrews. This was cut from the DVD version.

Quotes[]
(Agent Dennehy spreads his arms wide) Bernice: My God! How do you get your pants on? Agent Dennehy: I mean stretch out the phone call.
Duckman: I can't believe they shared their girlfriends with us Corny! I just spent the night with the sexiest, most insatiable, voluptuous, adventurous, least inhibited women I've ever met! If she didn't suddenly get a headache... Woo Hoo! There's no telling what wild and tawdry escapades we might have experienced. How was your night? Cornfed: Like yours... minus the headache.
Duckman: I ever tell you my dads last words to me? Cornfed: Careful son, I don't think the safety is on. Duckman: Before that!
Cornfed: Duckman, maybe you should try distracting them by doing what Pee Wee Herman did in that movie. Duckman: First of all I don't think it's appropriate, second I'm not really in the mood.
Agent Dennehy: Hands to the sky duckbreath. There's a cavity search with your name on it.
Duckman: If I wanted a lecture about money I coulda waited till Sunday and stolen from the collection plate again.
