Episode Quotes |
| |
Grace: On some level, your mother has to know you're gay. I mean she has met you right?
Will: Yeah, ha ha...
Grace: We're all here for you, ok? Right, Karen?
Karen: (Pushing Jack) Why wasn't I your girlfriend, queer bait?
| (Jack's mom gets in the elevator after doing a test run with a casserole.)
Judith: And I think it's terrific that you and Jack stayed friends even after he dumped you.
Grace: Dumped me? What are you talking about, Jack's a hom-- (Elevator door closes) Ho-ooh my God! She doesn't know Jack's gay!
| Jack: I didn't even know you when I made up that lie.
Karen: Oh yeah, well when you met me, you should have broken up with her and hooked up with me!
Jack: You're married! I'm gay!
Karen: Not in the lie!

Episode Goofs |
| |
When Jack's mum knocks on the door when she arrives for dinner and say "Hello" they hear her in Will's apartment. So when Will is pushing Jack towards the door he shouts "You're going to tell your mother you sleep with guys". Now if the gang can hear Jack's mother saying hello, then couldn't she hear Will?
| Next to the elevator is an escape route plan in case of fires. While the floor plan is acurate to where Will & Grace live, it says the hallway ends just a few feet away from the elevator, and only shows 4 apartments on the floor. We know from prior episodes that there are at least 12 apartments to a floor. But it does confirm that the door in the middle of the hallway is probably a utility closet.
| In the end credits, Veronica Cartwright is credited as "Judith Mc Farland" instead of "Judith McFarland."
