Quotes
"Does that clam sound funny to you?" "Wlidunno. What do clams usually sound like?"
"Wake up! We want to taunt you! Mercilessly!"
"Ah, a delicate rose amongst the ragweed."
"The trick of an adventure is not gettin' 'ung up in details."
Trivia
In this early episode, Peter Cullen played Monty and Jim Cummings played Charlie. This is a possible basis for a retcon of the change from Cullen to Cummings for Monty's voice: his voice changed as he aged.
Fat Cat calls his group of captive egg-laying fish "sturgeons." Per the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, the correct plural for a group of these fish is probably "sturgeon." The word "sturgeons" is used when referring to multiple species of this kind of fish. [1]
Camembert Kate makes her first appearance in this episode. Fans have commented on her relationship with Charlie as far back as the CDRR comic. If they were ever married, they do not appear to live together now, but are still friendly.
Pro C+G proponents point to the flirting between Chip and Gadget at the beginning of this episode, and the scene's inclusion in the show's opening. The anti defense, attributed to Juan F. Lara, is that it was a plot device to set up the rivalry between Chip and Charlie.
