Fun Stuff

Trivia:
This episode's title spoofs the title of Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea". more
Goofs:
Anachronisms: As old as Mr. Burns is, he is not old enough to own "Confederate Slaveholder" stock. This originally aired in 1997, and going by Mr. Burns' usual-given age of 104, that would put his birth at 1893. The Confederacy was dissolved in 1865, at the end of the Civil War. more
Quotes:
[Lisa and Mr. Burns are collecting cans at the beach]
Mr. Burns: You mean there are actually people who will pay good money for garbage?
Lisa: Not good money, really. Each can'll get you a nickel.
Mr. Burns: Ooh, don't poo-poo a nickel, Lisa. A nickel will buy you a steak and kidney pie, a cup of coffee, a slice of cheesecake and a newsreel... with enough change left over to ride the trolley from Battery Park to the polo grounds.
Lisa: [unimpressed] There's a can.
