Episode Quotes
 
Connie: I don't like Joseph. He threw a dodgeball at me once.
Bobby: Well, I'm sure he had a good reason.
 
Nancy: Honey, you want a beer?
Dale & John Redcorn: Yes.
Dale: (to himself) How did he know I wanted a beer?
 
Kahn: Kahn Jr., you come with me. We go get ice cream and tetanus shot.
 
Mr. Grandy: You're not bad dads, you have "bad-dad habits."
 
Hank: Dale, why don't you go tell Peggy and Minh we're here so they don't worry.
Dale: I noticed my wife's name was not among those mentioned. Am I to assume Nancy should continue worrying?
 
 
Cultural References
 
Dale: Have you seen Joseph? He's not back with my Pick Six numbers and I'm starting to worry. I can't win it if I'm not in it.

"Pick Six" is a parody of the popular lottery game "Pick Four" or "Pick Three."
 
Kahn: Great, our hopes for survival pinned on Dale Gribble. I'm gonna die like English Patient girlfriend. Long, painful, boring death!

Kahn is making a reference to the 1996 movie, The English Patient.
 
Kahn: It makes me nervous, that Joseph with Kahn Jr. His whole family like a Tennesee Williams play.

Tennessee Williams was a playwright who wrote plays that usually took place in the south.
 
Peggy: Well, being calm comes natural to you Buddhists. So what if Connie's run away, huh? She'll just come back as a grasshopper or a sea-horse!

Peegy is making a reference to the Buddhist reincarnation, though reincarnation does not occur when someone runs away; but when someone dies.
