Guest Stars:

Random Facts:

- The boy (Johan) in the episode tells Garret not to bother screaming as the glass is double pane and soundproof.  While double pane glass reduces the noise by about 20% compared to normal windows, it isn't 'sound proof'.  Typically 'sound proofing' means more a reduction in noise not a total elimination of noise.  Garret could have kept screaming, but seeing how the neighbors house was blocked from Everett's with a fence and trees, the double pane glass was probably good enough to block out shouts.

- The show Kyle turns on is Get Smart starring Don Adams.  Get Smart was a comedy that ran from September 1965 to August 1970.  The show satirize the 'secret agent genre'.

- The book Kyle/Johan was reading in this episode was The Red Badge of Courage: An Episode of the American Civil War by Stephen Crane written in 1895. (Plot Summary)

Quotes:

Jordan: I got a great idea. How about I die of boredom, you guys can all autopsy me?
Nigel: Mmmmm, I’m in.

(Bug is cleaning his bugs in the glass case)
Garret: Bug. What I don’t get is why you have to clean them when their sealed in an air tight enclosure.
Bug: Oh yeah.

Garret: Fathers and daughters, you know how that goes.
Jordan: Oh yeah, sure do. The daughter uses silence as a weapon, and the father does too.

Bug: You guys see the bracelet he had in his pocket?
Jordan: Oh, that tacky five and dime thing?
Bug: Tacky maybe, five and dime no. These are real diamonds.

Garret (to Mr. Everett): What are you going to to do with me? You going to to kill me?

(Woody and Lu in a car on a stakeout)
Lu: You know something Woody. You seriously outta think about switching deodorant.
(Woody sniffs his armpit)
Woody: Three days in a car, twelve hour shifts, you’re no flower shop yourself girl.
Lu: Oh, pardon me if I’m not wearing my first date perfume.
Woody: (Laughs) Talk about the pot callin’ the kettle stinky.

Nigel: Finally, a real live dead body.
Jordan: Ooo, down boy…truck v. pedestrian, not much body left.
Nigel: Ouch.

Bug: You’re an ass Brandau. Sorry (to Lily standing next to Jeffrey)

Garret (to Everett): You want me to destroy his life so you can have a companion. Get a dog you sick bastard.

Lily (to Bug): I mean believe me three weeks ago marriage was the furthest thing from my mind. But when someone asks you to marry them they deserve an answer, and Jeffery asked me so I said yes.

Woody: This all should be settled within the hour. If there’s anything I can do to help?
Jordan: Yeah, just uh, make sure the boys in blue don’t bust up any lab equipment.

Jordan (to Pollack on the phone): So how is DC, you been biking with the pres.?

(Lu storms out of the room)
Jordan: Burr, it’s a little chilly in here.
Woody: Three days on a stakeout kind of puts a crimp in a romance.

Jordan (to Manny): When the freight elevator opens and a gurney comes out it’s not just some stiff with a toe tag, ok it’s a human being Manny. They can’t protect themselves; they depend on us to protect them. It’s called ‘respect for the dead.’
