Special guest star Tim Matheson (Larry) also steps behind the camera to direct the episode. He also directed season 1's "Broken Rules."

Michael: (voiceover) It doesn't matter if you're trying to take out a moped or a dump truck, every vehicle has three areas of vulnerability: the driver, the engine and the tires. A can of paint across the windshield could blind the driver, a 50mm cannon could kill the engine, but neither will guarantee the truck won't swirl into oncoming traffic. But if you force a vehicle's front tires off the road, you drastically diminish its maneuverability. That way it can't swirl. Of course, getting a dump truck's tires off the ground is even more difficult than it sounds. And hell of a lot more dangerous.

Michael: (voiceover) Laundry bluing is a synthetic dye that dry cleaners use by the thimble and covert operatives go through by the bottle. It blots out secrets and works like a poor man's dye pack, staining anyone who digs through your trash.

Madeline: Do you have any idea how hard it is to have an honest exchange with you when you're withholding like this?
Michael: You been reading a book or something?
Madeline: I'm seeing a counselor, Michael. And he's pretty sure you're the one who has the problems.
Michael: So you're actually here twisting my arm until I go to counseling. That's honest.

Therapist: And that's why I like to say that trust is a bridge, and it needs a strong foundation, and you can't build a bridge out of pain and fear, can you? Can you, Michael?
Michael: Uh, no, because that would make it, um, structurally unsound.

Michael: (voiceover) Cell phone jammers emit radio waves at the same frequency as commercial cellphones. They are useful when you really want to make sure someone stays out of touch.

Michael: (voiceover) Staging a fake death and a believable emergency response is almost impossible on a budget. One lone ambulance isn't going to sell it. So unless you happen to have a fleet of fire and rescue vehicles, uniforms and a dozen actors you trust, you really do have to call 911. You just have to have called your people first.
