Trivia
Charlie mentions that Alan has been living with him for five years, two months and ten days. This is almost accurate, as this episode premiered five years, two months and sixteen days after the pilot episode.

Goofs

Quotes
Alan Harper: I'm not gonna' make it, Charlie.
Charlie Harper: [with a knowing smile] Didn't think you would.
Alan Harper: No goals, no challenges, no... no gut-wrenching fears driving me forward. I mean, how do you stand it?
Charlie Harper: Me? Well, i have kind of an existential philosophy that shapes my outlook. It involves a willingness to let life carry me along in its wake as I contemplate its infinite mystery... Plus I drink and take a lot of naps.
