Episode Quotes
Ken: (when Sandy hits the side of the houseboat) Goldilocks strikes again!
Dave: If he doesn't learn how to handle that jetboat, I'm gonna scuttle it.
Daphne: Let him stay on the water. It keeps the highway safe.

(As Daphne reads the newspaper account of a mansion purchase)
Sandy: What's the poor sucker's name?
Daphne: Hartman.
Dave: Marty Hartman?
Daphne: (checking story) Yeah, that's his name. Do you know him?
Dave: Yeah, sort of. I helped send him to Sing-Sing.



Episode Goofs
(As Commodore Gladstone pours himself a drink)
Alan: You know what the doctor said, sir!
Gladstone: Don't be silly, one's not going to kill me!

Commodore Gladstone is having one drink apparently (per Alan's comment) in contradiction to his doctor's orders; however, just prior to this scene he is shown in the Boom-Boom Room drinking, and (per Marty's earlier conversation) had an invitation for drinks (scotch) at Marty's home.
