  Episode Quotes  
Stan: Why is Wall-Mart so successful?
Randy: It's simple economics son. I don't understand it, but God I love it.
 
Cartman: Go ahead, I can get another one at Wall-Mart. It's only 5 bucks.
 
Stan: Goddamn that took a long time.
Kyle: It would've been faster if Cartman hadn't slashed the tires.
 
Grandpa Marsh: Welcome to Wall-Mart.
Stan: Save it, Grandpa!
 
  Episode Goofs  
This isn't the first Wal-Mart in South Park, so the fuss seems excessive. In the Season 7 episode, "Red Man's Greed," Stan says, "Just because you have a piece of paper saying you own it doesn't make it yours. We grew up here. Our parents grew up here. We shop at that Wal-Mart, and eat at that Chili's. We take fish from the streams and bread them and freeze them to make fish sticks. This is not just a town, it is our way of life."

Visual: Wall-Mart collapses

The manner in which the Wall-Mart collapsed upon itself is similar to the way the house collapsed on itself in the 1985 film, Poltergeist.
