Earl does right when he returns a Pops' Old Fashioned Wiener hot dog cart, which he and Ralph had stolen years prior. His good deed is undone, however, when Ralph, working for the competition, sets fire to the cart just as business is picking up again. Earl demands that the competing franchise owner pay the ten thousand dollars to replace the cart, but he refuses, sending Earl and Randy over his head to the corporate headquarters. Earl tricks his way into a job at the company and proceeds to steal office supplies in an effort to make up the ten thousand dollars. When he realizes that it would take the rest of his life to steal enough supplies, he recruits Randy, Joy, Catalina, and Ralph to get jobs at the company as well to help him.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Catalina: But Earl, I thought you stopped stealing. What about your list?
Earl: This is a special circumstance, Catalina - I'm stealing for a good reason. Just like, err, Robin Hood.
Randy: Yeah, I like him, the guy with the green pantyhose, right? I like his little hummingbird girlfriend, Tinkerbelle - she gets so jealous.
| Randy: Look at all those peoples in suits Earl. It's just like when Ted from Bill and Ted put on his magic sunglasses and went into the matrix.
| Earl: Those corporate executives are criminals, Randy, like we used to be. Only they're worse 'cause they don't admit it - it's hippocratical! I mean - hypocongical. Hypothetical?
| Ralph: This whole thing's a chess game and this here Xerox machine's the Pope, all right?
| (Sitting at Earl Jr.'s birthday party)
Ralph: Man this sucks. Man, I thought you said when the gang was getting back together, that meant we were gonna steal something.
| Ralph: Oh really, I heard that you and I stole it for $200 and you spent you half at Club Chubby's trying to get that girl to break the rules. Which she did!
| Ralph: Pop's Old Fashioned Weiners didn't close.
Randy: Yes, it did. There was a sink hole and it swallowed up him and his cart and there was a solar eclipse that night. Tell 'em, Earl.
| Owner of Winky-Dinky Dog: You geniuses wanna make $200?
Ralph: Yaaa buddy, the only thing is, if it involves math or spelling or anything like that, we might need a little extra time because we're really not like the geniuses you think we are.
| Randy: I don't like to complain about free food, but this hot dog taste's like... zoo.
| Randy: Taking away Pop's Hot Dogs from Camden County is like taking chicken wings out of Syracuse.
Ralph: I think it's Buffalo, buddy.
Randy: No, no, I think it's chicken.
Joy: It is. It's chicken, spicy chicken.
| Earl: I thought you should know that one of your franchise owners paid a criminal to burn down someone elses hot dog stand.
Mr. Covington: Have the police been informed?
Earl: Well the witness doesn't really like to interact with the police because they don't like me... him.
| Earl: Ralph, he's a professional. There's nothing he won't do for $200.
| Ralph: It's gonna be worth it. I got a guy in Korea-town who wants to rig it to counterfeit money. He says he's gonna pay us ten grand in twenty dollar bills for it.
| Earl: Ralph, I appreciate your offer, but you're not cuttin' off your pinky toe. We can find another way to do it.
Ralph: Yeah... Well... Here's the thing, Earl
(Referring to the cooler on the table.)
Earl: Wait, your pinky toe's already in there, isn't it?
Ralph: Yeah, it's in there.
| (Referring to the copy maching crammed in the doorway.)
Joy: Well actually, that happened while we were sleeping.
Darnell: Yeah, asleep and that bottle of pee-pee on the table was already there too.

Randy: ...and went into the matrix.
The matrix is a computer generated virtual construct designed to keep the minds of humans busy as artificially intelligent robots harvest and use their bodies as a source of power in the 1999 film 'The Matrix' and its subsequent sequels.
| Randy: It's just like when Ted from Bill and Ted put on his magic sunglasses...
Bill and Ted are two dim-witted teens who come across a phone booth that allows them to travel through time in the 1989 film 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure' and the 1991 film 'Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey'.
| Earl: Winky-Dinky Dog moved in next door.
Winky-Dinky Dog was also the name of the hot dog stand that Robert Townsend's character, Bobby Tayor, worked at in the 1987 film 'Hollywood Shuffle'.
| Earl: Just like, err, Robin Hood.
Randy: Yeah, I like him, the guy with the green pantyhose, right? I like his little hummingbird girlfriend, Tinkerbelle - she gets so jealous.
Though Robin Hood is classically depicted as wearing green tights, Tinkerbelle is not his girlfriend, nor is she a hummingbird. Tinkerbelle is a fairy from the many different adaptations of 'Peter Pan', who also is depicted wearing green tights.
| Joy: Ever since Dudley Do-Right here broke up the gang...
Dudley Do-Right was an character from the 1969 animated program The Dudley Do-Right Show. Dudley was an inept Canadian Mountie who was always trying to catch his nemisis, Snidely Wiplash. It was later made into a live action motion picture starring Brendan Fraser in 1999.

Earl: Randy even brought 4 beers because it makes him a better liar.
This was brought up the pilot and shown that it works for Randy. The only problem is if he has more that 4, he becomes belligerent and out of control.
| When Earl takes the job at the corporate office, he places a picture of himself, Joy, Darnell, Earl Jr., and Dodge on his desk in his cubical. That photo was taken at the end of the 'Joys Wedding' episode.
