Trivia

The Show

  • This episode is often listed under the curious title "Untitled Blake McCormick Project" and it was known only as this for many years. While it's never been explained, the title given on the DVD release may explain that it was essentially censored.

Behind the Scenes

  • Brittany Murphy voices Kate, appropriate since she voiced Joseph in the earlier seasons.

Allusions and References

  • Dale suggests Kate use the mashed potatoes to sculpt her unconscious thoughts, an allusion to a scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
  • Dale brings up the 1987 film The Stepfather starring Terry O'Quinn, the "bald guy from Lost," as he refers to him.

Memorable Moments

Quotes

  • Hank: Boy, I never thought I'd do this again. Each time you buy a wheelbarrow, you tell yourself it's the last time.
  • Dale: A woman who is perfect for Bill? (shudders) That's a disturbing image.
  • Hank: Huh. John Redcorn doesn't work here.
Dale: Oh, he works here, all right. If by "work here," you mean having casual sex.
  • Dale: I have 85 channels at home and none of them beats watching Hank use a crescent wrench.
  • Dale: I don't like her.
Hank: How could you not like her? Charlene seems great.
Dale: I'm talking about the weird one. Kate. Didn't you see it?
Hank: See what?
Dale: The contours of her face, the hazel deadness in her eyes. Something is severely un-right with that child. Potential pod-person. Probable robot. Possible pod-bot.
  • Dale: Hank, you'd cosy up to Mussolini if he liked your lawn.
  • Dale: After impregnating Nancy, the aliens must have then left my genetic material with Charlene in the hopes of engineering a master race with me as the foundation. The "how" is simple enough. It's the "why" that troubles me.
Hank: Uh, well, Dale, aliens are an unpredictable bunch, so, uh, I think your best bet is to do nothing. Yep. Nothing.
  • Dale: Look who it is! What brings you to my favourite restaurant that I never talk about?
  • Dale: Did Nancy tell you about Joseph's sister, i.e., my daughter?
John Redcorn: Yes. But there must be some mistake.
Nancy: That's not what the DNA says!
John Redcorn: Well, it's wrong! I never - I mean, Dale never cheated on you.
Dale: Of course not. The aliens--
Nancy: Never, John Redcorn? You're saying Dale didn't cheat on me even once?
Dale: I'm not sure why John Redcorn would have that information, but, no, I--
John Redcorn: Okay, maybe there were isolated incidents, but Dale always took precautions.
Nancy: So now it's "incidents"?
John Redcorn: Nancy, please. It's... It's very complex.
Nancy: Huh!
Dale: John Redcorn is right, the alien plan is far too complex! I guess we should follow Hank's advice and do nothing. I feel better already.
  • Dale: You know, the mothers of my children are pretty hot. The aliens seem partial to pouty lips and an ample bosom.
John Redcorn: Yes. Yes, they do.
  • Dale: John Redcorn, I bet you could romance a woman out of a relationship with a giant doofus.
  • John Redcorn: Dale, are you asking me to steal your friend's companion?
Dale: I don't want my child raised by an idiot!
John Redcorn: Yes. It's very difficult to watch an idiot raise your child.
  • Charlene: Bill, the kids already like you. You don't need to buy all this junk food to win them over.
Bill: Oh, yes, yeah. Yes, kids. Mmm. That's just what I was doing.
  • Bill: Plus, I had a woman stolen by John Redcorn. That's kind of an honour.
Dale: We should all be so lucky.
  • Dale: Sure was nice of Redcorn to agree to raise my child for me. Can't say I'd do the same.
