Episode Quotes

Shawn Spencer: Excuse me, I'm here for a class.
Clerk: This class?
Shawn Spencer: Yeah, I believe it starts in...
Clerk: Five minutes.
Shawn Spencer: Right, five minutes from now. I'm usually 10 minutes early, so I'm already feeling behind.
Clerk: This class is for five- to eight-year-olds.
Shawn Spencer: Yes. Yes, it is. And, uh, that's what I call...
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Discrimination.

Clerk: Discrimination?
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Yes, and ageism.
Clerk: Who are you?

Burton 'Gus' Guster: I'm his lawyer.
Shawn Spencer: That's right.
Clerk: You brought a lawyer?
Shawn Spencer: I keep a lawyer on retainer at all times. There is so much injustice in the world that you practically can't leave home without one. And apparently, today it paid off.
Clerk: Right, okay. Well, I will see you in court, then. Now...
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Perfect. Now I need a statement from you. And as we plan to try this in both civil and criminal court, I'll need the police here as well. Can I use your phone, or do you only let the white people use that?
Clerk: Who said anything about white people?
Burton 'Gus' Guster: You just did.
Clerk: The words "white people" did not come out of my mouth.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: There they are again. Luckily, I had my hand recorder on for that one. By the way, I am now disclosing that this conversation is being recorded.
Clerk: Recorded? Okay, this is crazy.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Crazy? You wanna know crazy? I sued 300 businesses last year alone. I sued a hot dog cart and got everything but the wheels and the buns, which I won in the civil case two months later. Now, if you don't mind, before I start snapping evidence photos, I'm a little parched, so can you tell me which one of these fountains I'm allowed to use?
Shawn Spencer: Mr. Chiang, I'm the resident psychic here. My name is Shawn Spencer. This is my partner, Jonathan Jacob "Jingly" Smith.
Arthur Chiang: You're saying his name is John Jacob "Jingleheimer" Schmidt?
Shawn Spencer: That's correct, sir. We use to share the name. I changed mine because of all the people shouting when I went out.
Karen Vick: I don't remember calling you, Mr. Spencer.
Shawn Spencer: Didn't have to, Chief. This case called me.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: It called collect.
Shawn Spencer: That's right. Which was odd, because I'm also on Twitter. And the cases usually tweet me. Let's be honest, Chief, kidnapping is my thing. This case is tailor-made for a psychic.
Karen Vick: I guess it does make a little bit of sense.
Shawn Spencer: And it turns out, business is just a little slower than expected.
Ken: You guys hired me four days ago.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Much slower.
Shawn Spencer: But the thing is my dad got a job at the police station, right? So we assumed that we'd get more cases.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: He assumed. I called this from a mile away.
Shawn Spencer: Exactly. Wait a... Holy crap, you're doing good cop.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: I know.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (continuity error): When Juliet is talking to Shawn and Gus at City Hall, between the front and back shots, the position of her arms changes, and the papers in her hands disappear and reappear.

Trivia

  • All of the names listed on the directory plaque at City Hall are of crew members from the show, including Mayor Gordon Mark (the show's producer), Executive Assistant Michelle Almaz Tadege (the show's production coordinator), and City Manager Roger Russell (the show's first assistant director).
  • The music video for "Dope Nose", the song by 'Weezer' used during the fight scene at the end, featured a Chinese gang like the one in the episode.
