    • Goofs
      Mike Axford complains to Britt Reid about Dr. Bendix receiving a raise while he pinches pennies. It's mercenary Mike would do so when he himself just received a whopping 15% raise three shows ago in Eat, Drink, and Be Dead (1966).
    • Quotes

      Thornton Richardson: Do you see that empty frame? Before long, it will contain one million dollars' worth of Rembrandt.

      The Green Hornet: IF Reid pays.

      Thornton Richardson: He will. I set him up perfectly, with every step falling into place.

      The Green Hornet: Every step but one: you now have a partner.

      Thornton Richardson: What if I refuse?

      The Green Hornet: Then that frame might contain a portrait of you. Edged in black. I'll be in touch. When Reid pays.

      Steve: What are you going to do about him?

      Thornton Richardson: He doesn't frighten me.

      Steve: Well, nobody's ever beaten him.

      Thornton Richardson: Nobody's ever used a laser beam against him. He tries to interfere, it'll be HIS portrait in that frame... edged in black.
