[edit] Unfinished sentence

The final sentence in the article seems unfinished:

"Also, this would make their characters only 15 years old in this episode, despite the fact that it has been said numberous"

I don't know what the ending is supposed to be.

This is a really minor point, but was GOB (when pretending to be "Frank") actually calling himself Frank Stable? I heard "You steal from Frank's stable..."

[edit] Nellie...

Would it be fair to call the character Nellie a reference to Ally McBeal, as Portia di Rossi's character on the show was named Nelle? youngamerican (talk) 19:32, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] N. Bluth

Very early on in the episoe (right after the Mister F theme music), Michael says "yea but that was retar...misguided. This is N. Bluth!" and another soundbyte plays. what is it? what does it reference? it should be included in the background jokes section.216.165.39.145 00:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Goof?

Is it really fair to say that Nellie not being surprised by the idea that Michael might be her brother is a goof? I mean, we know nothing of her history (i.e. was she adopted? did she know her father? was the man that she called "father" her real father?) It would turn most people's world's upside down to find out that they had a sibling that they didn't know about, but to assume that her disdain is a goof (especially, being a prostitute, one would think that she had a lot of experience with men having children that they didn't know about), seems a little strange.

[edit] Marriage Certificate as a goof?

I don't think we should consider anything regarding the Marriage Certificate as an unintentional goof. After all, the State Seal of California is a picture of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, I don't think they were going for accuracy in the minutiae. Valley2city 08:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
