    • Trivia
      First time Bill eats dog treats as a snack.
    • Goofs
      When Ralph, Pam and Bill are driving in the car and decide to go help Ira, Bill makes several motions with his hands as if he's making a sharp left hand turn, yet the steering wheel never moves because he isn't actually touching it.
    • Quotes

      Ralph Hanley: Bill, now let's think a minute. Why did the extra-terrestrial beings give us, give me the suit? I mean, I don't know anything about international espionage or high-tech crime!

      [Voice breaks on the last word]

      Bill Maxwell: You're gonna have to put some more honey in your tea Ralph. You're about to lose it all together.
