Arc Advancement

Characters

• It's shown that Peggy's Spanish has never been challenged even though Hank knows how sketchy it is, but avoids confronting her on it.

Trivia

The Show

• Although it's standard for material to be cut out for syndication, this episode receives a most unusual edit. The syndication version ends abruptly when Peggy hears the verdict and thinks she's been found guilty, just before she is told she has been found innocent.

Memorable Moments

• Stopped by Officer Cooper, Hank is asked to be searched. Desperate to get to Peggy, he relents and sings the Star-Spangled Banner to comfort himself as she puts her hands on.

Goofs

• Dooley's hair changes colour throughout the episode.

• When Hank talks to Officer Cooper behind the billboard, it obstructs the back half of her car. A few moments later we see a shot with the exact same perspective and the billboard is no longer visible, revealing more of the car.

Quotes

• Peggy: Oh, and do not forget tonight's extra-credit assignment.

Dooley: You're just a sub. You can't give extra credit.

Peggy: Well, no. Not towards your grade. But you will get credit with me. And those Peggy points add up.

• Geiger: I didn't make it to department head, supervising three people by letting a sub take students to a foreign land.

Peggy: And I didn't make it to Substitute Teacher of the Year by taking no for an answer. Except on tests with "yes" or "no" questions where "no" was the correct answer.

• Peggy: I will not let you down. This is the rare instance where the sub is actually more dependable than the regular teacher who, I suspect is, in fact, a drunk.

• Officer Cooper: I'm gonna let you off with just a warning if you promise to drive safely.

Hank: Oh, I promise. And not just because safe driving is cool, but because it's the right thing to do.

• Hank: Anyway, turns out the police officer used to be a cheerleader over at Rumford.

Dale: Cheerleader? I thought you said he was a cop.

Hank: It was one of those lady cops you hear about.

• Hank: I was not flirting. I didn't even mention that I worked in propane.

• Peggy: The Mexico I want my students to see is not on any map. Well, it's certainly not on this map.

• Dooley: I drank the water.

Peggy: Uh-uh. In español.

Dooley: (subtitled) You are a pig.

Peggy: Ah. Muy bueno.

• Peggy: I smuggled that girl into this country without even knowing it. Don't you think I can smuggle her back if I put my mind to it?

• Peggy: We need a distraction. Ram her car with your truck, then get into one of those high-speed chases.

• Officer Cooper: Did you know, in Greek mythology, a Siren was a beautiful woman who sang so sweetly that she could make sailors crash into the rocks? That's kind of romantic, isn't it?

Hank: Actually, pretty irresponsible.

• Ortiz: I intend to show that her Spanish is so poor she could barely order a glass of water, much less order that child to do anything.

Peggy: That is completely untrue. And if that goes down on the Mexican records my teaching career is tostada. Uh-uh. I am very fluent. Listen to me roll my r's. (trills) I rrrrrrest my case.

• Peggy: (in Spanish) Your honor, I can tell you are a reasonable horse. I am very pregnant because of what happened with Lupe. She ate my bus accident and all I wanted was to make Lupe into a book. I have too many good anuses ahead of me to spend my life in a cigar factory.
