Episode Quotes

Troy: Do they do things to your butt?
Annie Edison: No.
Troy: Do you get paid more if they do things to your butt?
Britta Perry: Besides, arent you like a world class expert in jibber-jabber?
Jeff Winger: I'm a sprinter. I'm best at brief spurts of wit. With Shirley, I couldn't keep up. I'd be winded by that stoner tree.
Shirley Bennett: I don't understand why you and Britta aren't together. Two good-looking white people going to school together. It just feels right.
Jeff Winger: We're not pandas in a zoo.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (continuity error): The statue of the Puerto Rican actor Luis Guzman is visible in the end sequence when it is supposed to be revealed to the school for the first time at the end of episode 5.
  • Goof (continuity error): When Annie is asking the group if they want to take part in her experiment, Troy answers looking directly at her but whenever the camera cuts back to her replies, he has turned his head away from her.
  • Goof (continuity error): When Vaughn discovers the group has his poem, his arms go from right arm up to hands in pockets to left hand up between shots.
