* BeamMeUpScotty: Lenny never says, "Tell me about the rabbits, George" (the closest he comes is when he says, "Tell me what you told me before...about them rabbits"), nor does he say, "And I will love him and squeeze him and call him George". Those lines have become StockParody lines because of their uses in other works, such as in many, ''many'', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts, most notably the WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck cartoon "The Abominable Snow Rabbit", and the WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle cartoon where Rocky, who's been turned stupid because of exposure to goof gas, says the former line.

* WordOfDante: It's never stated whether or not Curley's broken hand was a permanent injury as he's just shown in a sling in his next appearance. It's generally assumed that it is a permanent injury that ended his career as a boxer because the treatment for his hand would have left it deformed and unable to form a complete fist.
