Episode Quotes

Season 1 / Episode 5: - G.I. Jeannie

Major Margaret Fiefield: [Jeannie reports for her aptitude test results] The average girl usually shows ability in several different fields. But we've given you five separate tests and the answer's always the same. It seems there's only one thing you're qualified to do.
Jeannie: What is that?
Major Margaret Fiefield: Nothing.

Season 1 / Episode 5: - G.I. Jeannie

Lt. Snyder: [inside the Recruiting center] Uh, date of birth?
Jeannie: July first.
Lt. Snyder: [makes notes] July first... Year?
Jeannie: Twenty-one B.C.
Lt. Snyder: [notes] Uh-huh. Age?
Jeannie: Fifteen hundred.
Lt. Snyder: [notes] And place of birth?
Jeannie: Pompeii.
Lt. Snyder: Pomp... [reads from her notepad] "Twenty-one B.C. Fifteen hundred years old". [Tony looks uncomfortable]
Jeannie: I-I know I should have been honest with you, Lieutenant. I am not really fifteen hundred.
Lt. Snyder: Oh, I really didn't think so.
Jeannie: I am two thousand. But every woman lies about her age.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: Tony's secretary, Corporal Burns, actually had a rank of Senior Airman. Corporal is a USMC and US Army rank, not a USAF rank.

TRIVIA

The title is based on the term for a soldier G.I. Joe. The abbreviation means "Government Issue" and the term was used for a toy, cartoon series and a movie.
In this episode, Jeannie states her date of birth as "1st July, 21 B.C.". Later, in "The Girl Who Never Had a Birthday", she would claim not to know when her birthday was. That storyline ultimately revealed her date of birth to be 1st April 1st, 64 B.C.
