    • Quotes
      • Prof van Alden's Male Party Guest #1: I think Stubby's gone overboard with those altered chords, don't you?
      • Prof van Alden's Female Party Guest #1: I agree. I think Brubeck and Desmond have gone just as far with dissidents as I care to go.
      • Prof van Alden's Male Party Guest #2: Oh, nonsense! Have you heard Lennie Tristano's latest recording? He reached outer space!
      • Prof van Alden's Female Party Guest #2: Someday they make the cycle and get back to pure old Dixieland.
      • Prof van Alden's Female Party Guest #3: I say atonality is just a passing phase in jazz music. What do you think Mr. Everett?
      • Vince Everett: Lady, I don't know what the hell you're talkin' about.
    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits are in the avant-garde style of a modernist bold sans serif font, written entirely in lower case letters.
