Episode Quotes
 
Will: Grace, where are you?
Grace: It's a SECRET! Now tell me, how does that make you feel?
Will: Like a sorority girl in a bad slasher movie. Where are you?
Grace: Let's just put it this way. (In low, creepy voice) The call is coming from inside the house.
(Will sees Grace at the coat check)
Will: Grace, you cannot be here right now. Go home!
Grace: No.
Will: Go home.
Grace: No.
Will: Go.
Grace: No.
(Will angrilly ends the phone call)
Will: (To Host) Excuse me.
Host: Yeah.
Will: Would you mind having that crazed red-head removed? Listen to me, I'm Ricky Ricardo!
Host: I'll take care of it Mr. Ricardo.
 
Grace: You're trying to bulk up?
Will: No, it's a... dietary supplement.
Grace: No it's not... (Austrian Accent) You want zah big arms so you can get zah big mens and lure zem into your den of zum-zum.
Will: Ok. Thank you very much. That'll be enough, Grace.
Grace: Oh, my god, what's happening?
Will: What?
Grace: Your buttons are popping. Your shirt is ripping. You're hulking up, You're turning green. (Screaming) Aah!
Will: Ok, thank you. Excuse me, this happens to be good for you. (Reading Label) Oh, my god. It says it also grows breast tissue. You want to give it a try?
 
Will: Oh, you girls are going to have a ball, braiding each other's hair and talking about boys and doing the Cosmo quiz.
Jack: Oh, you mean, like, "How to tell if your best friend's a bitch?" Yeah, I already took it. You are.

Cultural References
 
Jack: Good work, Nancy Drew. Let's meet up at Old Mystery Creek!

This is a quick reference to the Carolyn Keene novels about the amateur detective Nancy Drew.
 
Grace: The movie. I rented it. I Know What You Did Last Summer. And An Affair to Remember... with The Client. What do you think?

References to three movies: "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "An Affair To Remember" and "The Client."
 
Karen: No, I said "I feel like I don't own my own, like I don't, like I..." Oh, all right, ding, ding, ding. You win on Jeopardy, smart guy.

Jeopardy! is one of the longest running game shows in history, starting back in 1964.
 
Will: Really? This is so... Alexis Carrington.

This is a quick and cheap reference to Joan Collins' character on Dynasty. Collins would later guest star on Will & Grace.
 
Will: Captain, after closer examination, I believe I have identified the life form as... Gaylien.

This, along with several other jokes, is a reference to the classic sci-fi show Star Trek.
 
Will: (To Maitre D') Excuse me, would you mind having that crazed redhead removed? Listen to me. I'm Ricky Ricardo.

Quick reference to something Ricky would say on I Love Lucy.
 
Grace: Your buttons are popping. Your shirt is ripping. You're hulking up, You're turning green. Aah!

Quick and cheap reference to what happens to Dr. Banner in The Incredible Hulk.
