Episode Quotes
James: I'd better find Judge M'Guigan. Where is he?
Artemus: Billiard room, playing a game he calls "pool."
James: It's billiards with working clothes on.

Inspector Bulvon: How does that give you call to poke your nose into my investigation of a murder? Which as you ought to know is not a Federal crime.
James: I know some people that don’t think of it as a crime at all.

James: Bombs are like women, gentlemen. You should never let them know you don’t trust them.

Cefalu: A dog would not eat that!
Artemus: Of course not. It wasn't meant for you.

Cefalu: I will teach you to insult the cooking of Sicily!
Artemus: You don't need to teach it. Your cooking is insult enough.

James: I found the bomb.
Artemus: A billiard ball. He stole that idea from me!

James: I want you to search every place in this hotel where a crate of dynamite could possibly be stored.
Artemus: Right. And if I find it?
James: I’ll arrange for someone to pour cold water on your face to revive you.

James: Don’t touch it. It’s one of the things I get paid for. Touching the untouchable.

James: I beg your pardon.
Zeno Baroda: Never beg while you’re still man enough to steal.

Zeno Baroda: I’ve always believed a man who’s lost a wife and a nickel, has lost a nickel.



Episode Goofs
When the cake is brought in, M'Guigan stands and presents it. The camera cuts to the cake, and then back to M'Guigan, who is almost instantly seated instead of standing.




Cultural References
M’Guigan: And all its learned advocates and judges merely players. They have their entrances… and exits.

The judge paraphrases Shakespeare's As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 7: "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances;"
