Trivia
The Show
- First episode to have a cold opening, dropping the clip from Bride of Frankenstein as it segues into the title sequence that's being projected onto a belly dancer with Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science" covered by a female singer (a la a James Bond film).
Behind the Scenes
Allusions and References
- The episode parody many James Bond films, including Thunderball (Scampfiner's intent on putting Dick in a shark tank), but primarily Goldfinger (Scampi's name, the opening title sequence, Gary and Wyatt wearing tuxes under their swimsuits, Scampi's "I expect you to die" line, and the plan to use the laser to kill the boys).
Memorable Moments
Quotes
- Wyatt: Anything you want to tell me, Gar? Anything important?
- Gary: Important? Uh, let me think. Oh, yeah. I may have accidentally broken Lisa's spy world simulator and turned our world into a life-threatening blend of fantasy and reality. If you consider that sort of thing important.
- Wyatt: I hope they shoot you first.
- Scampfinger: Ah, Mr Dinkler. Late for American History again, I see?
- Dick: I suppose you expect me to give you some excuse.
- Scampfinger: No, Mr Dinkler. I expect you to die.
