Episode Quotes

Kenneth Parcell: You can't eat candy if you have diabetes.
Tracy Jordan: There's no link between diabetes and diet. That's a white myth, Ken; like Larry Bird or Colorado.

Tracy Jordan: So how bad is diabetes, really?
Dr. Leo Spaceman: Quite serious. If left untreated you could lose a foot.
Tracy Jordan: Could I replace it with a wheel, like Rosie from the Jetsons?
Dr. Leo Spaceman: I suppose. But then you'd have to register as a motor vehicle.

Kenneth Parcell: What can I do for you, Miss... Jimplin?
Jenna Maroney: [using the method to prepair for her Janis Joplin role] Well according to my Wikipedia page, I'm gonna need some Cherry juice, Buttermilk and Tequila to make my signature Janice Joplin cocktail: the Frank-schlong.

Trivia

Frank's trucker heads say "Phase 3", "Feelin' it" and "Pinball Mechanic".
When Toofer replies ("... if you're nasty") to Jenna's request to be only addressed by the names Janis or Ms. Joplin, he references Janet Jackson's song "Nasty". It contains the lines: "No, my first name ain't baby / It's Janet - Miss Jackson if you're nasty."
