    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Ted McGinley and Pat Morita both appeared on "Happy Days".
    • Goofs
      Mr. Shimokawa is not told that Al is a shoe salesman. However late in the show he refers to Al being a shoe salesman. Someone could've told him this off-camera, so it's not a plot hole.
    • Quotes

      Iqbal: Officer's Dan and Stan, what can I do for you?

      Officer Dan: We got a call about an indecent sex act being performed here on-stage.

      Iqbal: I assure you officers, I do not allow or have indecent sex acts in my establishment.

      Officer Dan: Then get one!

      Officer stan: We didn't ditch that drug stakeout for nothing.
