      Storyline

      Edit

      Did you know

      Edit
      • Trivia
        When Marge says to Homer on the plane that he liked Rashomon - paholaisen temppeli (1950) by Akira Kurosawa, Homer claims he doesn't remember it that way. The underlying joke is that this famous film is about people remembering different things about the same event.
      • Goofs
        When the Simpsons beat the Flanders to the check-in desk, they do not stop to take the tickets from them or to pay for the tickets at all.
      • Quotes

        Marge: Every truckload of fish we gut brings us 31 cents closer to those tickets home.

        Bart: And I think I've finally found what I was put on this earth to do

        [guts some fishes]

        Bart: knife goes in, guts come out, knife goes in, guts come out

        [pulls out a talking fish]

        Fish: Spare my life and I will grant you three...

        Bart: [guts the talking fish] Knife goes in, guts come out.
