  Episode Quotes  
(After Frank arrives at Britt's house to check on him)
Britt: What? No candy? No flowers?
Frank: I brought you painkiller, the strongest I could find.
Britt: Ah, the thoughtful visitor. The right gift for the right occasion.
 
Mike: (reading Britt's editorial on the Hornet) Mornin', Chief. Gorgeous editorial.
Britt: Thanks, Mike. I thought you of all people would like it.
 
  Episode Goofs  
The Hornet was shot at night and taken home. When Frank visits him he says it's 5:10 a.m. Yet, the paper (which, according to an earlier episode is "put to bed" at 10:30 p.m.) has Britt's editorial on page one. Given the timing presented, Britt had no time to write the editorial in order for it to appear in the paper.
 
Kato is shown "shooting" Britt in the city room (a ploy to allow Britt to get medical treatment for the policeman shooting him). Since the shooting was staged, there would not have been a bullet hole in Britt's jacket or shirt, yet apparently no one questioned that.
 
When the Hornet confronts Clark and Dixon, one camera angle shows him pointing at them with his gloved hand, but another camera angle shows an ungloved hand pointing.

 
Britt was shot in the left shoulder, incapacitating his left arm. However, the stock footage shows Hornet moving his left arm (the inured one) when getting into the Black Beauty.
 
Britt: What time is it?
Frank: It's ten after five...a.m..

Frank tells Britt the time before looking at his watch.
 
Britt: I never realized how much trouble one little bullet could cause so much trouble.

Two different camera angles are shown, but the wording is not the same, resulting in "much trouble" being in the sentence twice.
 
The Sentinel has the grammatically incorrect headline, "Wound Green Hornet."
 
When the Hornet is after the police car, the background outside the back window is nighttime, but the scene shown from the windshield is daylight.
