  Episode Quotes  
Cartman: Dolphins, Eskimos, who cares? It's all a bunch of tree-loving hippy crap!
 
Cartman: (singing) I'm gonna be on television. I'm gonna be on television!
Stan: We don't believe for a minute that you won that contest fairly, fat boy.
Cartman: Oh, stop defending your girlfriend for writing about some stupid fish.
Stan: Dude, dolphins aren't stupid. They're intelligent and friendly.
Cartman: Intelligent and friendly on rye bread with some mayonnaise.
 
Mr. Garrison: Yes, I need a gun.
Jimbo: Would this be for hunting, home protection, or other?
Mr. Garrison: Other.
Jimbo: All righty then!
 
Kyle: Cartman, you're such a fat ass that when you walk down the street people go 'God damn it, that's a big fat ass!'
Cartman: No they don't, you jealous weakling.
Man: God damn, that's a big fat ass!
Cartman: Hey!
 
Kyle: Hey Stan, did you see that rainbow this morning?
Stan: Yeah, it was huge.
Cartman: Heh, I hate those things.
Kyle: Nobody hates rainbows.
Stan: Yeah, what's there to hate about rainbows?
Cartman: Well, you know, you'll just be sitting there, minding your own business, and they'll come, marching in and crawl up your leg and start biting the inside of your ass. And you'll be all like, 'Hey, get out of my ass you stupid rainbows!'
 
Mr. Garrison: Hello, Officer Barbrady.
Officer Barbrady: Nice gun!
Mr. Garrison: Thanks. Is there someplace in town where I can get a good, clear shot, er, view of Kathie Lee?
Officer Barbrady: Hmmm. Y'know, I think the book depository would be a good bet!
 
  Episode Goofs  
Mr. Hat disappears and reappears several times when Stan and Wendy are trying to convince Mr. Garrison not to shoot Kathie Lee.
 
Wendy's gloves disappear sometimes when she is searching through the papers.
 
Mr. Garrison buys the wooden trim version of the rifle from Jimbo. When he's talking to Officer Barbrady it's the standard version, and when he's in the book depository it's the wooden trim version again.
 
  Cultural References  
Mr. Garrison: You talkin' to me?

In Jimbo's Guns, Mr. Hat looks at several choices, staring in the mirror and asking, "You talkin' to me?" He is re-enacting a scene from Martin Scorsese's 1976 film Taxi Driver. In the film mentally unstable character Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) speaks these lines.
 
Officer Barbrady: Hmmm. Y'know, I think the book depository would be a good bet!

Officer Barbrady suggests that Mr. Garrison might get a good, clear "view" of Kathie Lee from the book depository. In 1963 assassin Lee Harvey Oswald shot President John F. Kennedy from the sixth floor of a book depository in Dallas, Texas.
 
Mr. Garrison: I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids.

At the end of the episode, Mr. Garrison attributes his failure to kill Kathie Lee and subsequent capture to "meddling kids." Almost every episode of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ended with the villains uttering the same lament.
