Episode Notes
Langley Falls Post Newspaper Headline



Klaus temporarily returns to a human body in this episode.

"Genocide of my people worth it for Lady Shoe Locker!" is what the Native American was saying on the mall sign.

We are informed that Stan received a bonus of $20,000 from the CIA for the "Most Evasive Testimony to Congress".

Apparently, one of Francines dreams has been to open a Kiosk.

Episode Quotes
Klaus: Now I know why they say, "once you've been black, there's no going back".

Stan: It's all right, Francine. For the second time in my life, I was saved by hip-hop... but that's another story.

Francine: Stan, it's great the CIA gave you that $20,000 bonus for "Most Evasive Testimony to Congress," but at this rate, it'll be gone in no time.
Stan: Hey, if I don't buy all this crap, the terrorists win. And don't tell me it's not a competition, because it so is.

Francine: Stan, I did some research on that kiosk at the mall. If you gave me $5,000 of yoru bonus, I could start a business selling my muffins. I think there's a real market for...
Stan: Ooh, ooh, uh, I... I'm sorry... sorry to interrupt, but, uh, real quick, this is the worst idea I've ever heard. Never gonna happen, but, please, keep going.
Francine: Oh, just forget it!
Stan: Great call, Francine.

Francine: This man's given me something you haven't for a long time.
Stan: We've talked about this. My neck gets tired.
Francine: I'm talking about respect, Stan.
Stan: Oh, my God, you respected her?! You're dead, Klaus!



Episode Goofs
When Stan speaks to the Taiwanese frog, he's actually speaking to it in Mandarin Chinese.

This is the exact same dance Flavor Flav did in the "911 is a joke video" in the early 90's, back when he was with "Public Enemy".
