Trivia:

When Orson Hodge (Kyle MacLachlan) is on the phone with the manager at Bree Hodge's bank, Orson tells the manager that he doesn't know Bree's true hair color (alluding that Bree's natural hair color is not red). Ironically, Marcia Cross' (Bree's) true hair color IS red.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): MJ tells Susan that Katherine has taught him that when playing blackjack, always double down on a pair of aces. The correct play when dealt two aces is to split, never to double.

Quotes:

[the twins decide to take a break as soon as a group of teenagers come in]
Lynette Scavo: What's going on here?
Preston Scavo: Those kids go to our school.
Porter Scavo: And you know who that big guy is? Kevin McDurmot, the guy called me 'Jesus' for a year cause I wore sandals for one day! If he sees me wearing this, I'll never hear the end of it.
Tom Scavo: Fine, don't wear the apron.
Porter Scavo: No. I'm not gonna wait on a kid who's gonna make fun of me on Monday morning. It's humiliating enough having to work here.
[Tom has a tantrum and slams Porter against the wall, and Lynette breaks it up]
