This episode unites three alumni of The Middleman: Matt Keeslar (The Middleman), Mark A. Sheppard (Manservant Neville), and recurring series director Jeremiah Chechik.

The name of the antagonist, Alexander Lundy, is a tip of the hat to Alexander Mundy, the title character from the 60s TV series It Takes a Thief.

Alec: Two weeks in Tokyo. We'd have a great time.
Parker: What are we stealing?
Alec: We don't steal anything. We'd be tourists.
Parker: Not following you.

Eliot: Maggie's Nate's ex-wife.
Tara Cole: Okay, is there any chance she took the Egg?
Parker: No. Maggie's the most honest person we know. But besides that, she's okay.

Parker: Toothpaste, explosives. Do not mix these up.

Nate: Right, right, and that's what I'm here to do--to get the egg back and to clear your name.
Maggie Collins: But you're clearing my name with thieves. No offense, Parker.
Parker: At what?

Parker: So, I took your advice and did the whole touristy thing. Went to the museum, and it was amazing.
Alec: You see?
Parker: Yeah. They have a Guardian T-840 Security System. I've only seen those in books. And the motion detectors--ooh, gorgeous! Six digital receptors. Six!
Alec: What about the paintings?
Parker: What about the paintings?

Tara Cole: What we imagine is always so much better than the reality.
Eliot: Like love?

Jim Sterling: I pulled a lot of strings to get tickets for all of you.
Alec: All of you? Wait, no, Hardison--he's in the van, eating stale candy, while all of you get to dine on canapes and... and champagne. I love canapes.
Jim Sterling: I'm terribly sorry about that. The company has to draw the line somewhere. I can assure you, it has nothing to do with our little incident last year.
Alec: Oh, you mean the incident where I came within five feet of blowing your ass up? Yeah, I'm sure it has nothing to do with that at all. Van smells like cabbage.

Maggie Collins: You know, people underestimate you, Eliot.
Nate: That's kind of the point.

Alec: Sterling's career gets another boost off of our hard work.
Tara Cole: We didn't even get paid.
Alec: Nope.
Tara Cole: I hate this guy.
Eliot: Now you're part of the team.
