    • Goofs
      When Hal is driving the kids to sneak the items back into the church, a portion of the trailer on which their car sits is visible outside the driver's window. The trailer frame is visible in 3 separate shots as the car is moving, then breaks down.
    • Quotes

      Mrs. Potts: [Lois forces the boys to do charity work for the Church, where their supervisor thanks and encourages them] You boys should be so proud of yourselves. A lot of people are really going to appreciate what you're doing. You know, I'm going to say a special prayer for you.

      Dewey: [sarcastically] Yeah. That should make us even.
