Episode Quotes
 
(Will, Karen, Jack, Jurgen and Steve, are playing poker.)
Will: All right. New deck. The game is follow the queen.
Karen: I don't know where to turn.
 
Will: First of all, they'll give you a payment plan, which you won't follow. Then they'll garnish your wages, which you don't have. Then they'll take away everything you own... which would be your gym membership. Then... finally, they will put you in jail.
Jack: No, no, no. They can't put me in jail, 'cause since I never started paying my taxes, I can continue not paying them. I saw that on television.
Will: On what? The Delusional Channel?
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
When Debra is spun by Eric during their dance, her dress falls off her left shoulder, she then takes the time to adjust it and and starts to put her hand down. When the next shot is shown, her hand is back up.
 
Grace is wearing the same dress to both dates. Did we catch her at the end of a wash-cycle?
 
Grace gets a beer and sits down for poker. When Will sends her away, she leaves the beer behind. When we come back to the next scene, we see that Will only cleaned up the dishes and not the beer bottles, yet there are only 2 bottles left, not 3. Who stole Grace's beer?
 
When Grace slams into the side of the elevator buttons, they all light up except 4 (which is supposed to happen), but #5 lights up after she moves away from the panel.
