  Episode Notes  
Sandra Bernhard actually requested to be on the show as a guest, but didn't expect to be playing herself. She actually intended to play a lesbian, but was more than happy after reading the script.
 
  Episode Quotes  
Jack: (To Karen) The auction's about to end, and you get to see me squash Dr. Dangerous like a wormy apple. (Jack pulls out his online beeper) Take that! (Jack's beeper beeps.) What? Damn it. (Jack presses a button on his beeper, when another beeper beeps)
Girl: What? Damn it!
(Jack slowly stands up. A young girl across the aisle stands up. They look each other up and down.)
Jack: Dr. Dangerous?
Girl: Hotsy-totsy?
 
Cheryl: I just want you to know I think you're awful. Your son Mason swam his heart out today, and all he wanted to do was share that joy with his family, but when he looked up in the bleachers for a familiar face, nothing. Not even a housekeeper. I find that appalling.
Karen: Oh, yeah? Well, I find stretch pants appalling, but I'm too much of a lady to mention it, fat ass.
 
  Episode Goofs  
What are the odds that of the millions of users on Ebay, Jack would run into the very person he was bidding against? Funny, yes. Plausable... no.
 
Will turns the page to the apartment guide before giving it to Grace. So how can Grace be looking at the same page?
 
  Cultural References  
Sandra: I don't even know you two. You think I would hang out with you Dharma and Greg-looking motherf-- (Blender noises)

A funny stab at rival ABC show (until it's cancelation in 2002) Dharma & Greg.
 
Sandra: Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, never ending or beginning--

The song Sandra is singing is the famous tune "Windmills Of Your Mind," performed by Noel Harrison and written by Michel Legrand. Sandra later sings "Midnight Train To Georgia" by Gladys Knight and The Pips.
 
Will: I'll bet Courtney Love has probably peed in this very toilet. Grace: Or, at the very least, around it.

A quick and funny reference to singer/actress Courtney Love, and her habit for being "unpredictable."
 
Will: Let me guess. It bangs, it bangs.

The scooter is autographed by Ricky Martin, who has since become a one hit wonder.
 
Episode Title: Swimming Pools... Movie Stars.

The episode title comes from a line in the theme song to The Beverly Hillbillies. The song is called "The Ballad of Jed Clampett."
