Goofs
On Dr. Brown's card given to the motorcycle officer, it just gives his name, office hours and in the upper left, cryptically states "phone connection". There is no phone number or even address.

Quotes
Dr. Brown: I asked you to come here and take care of my possessions while I'm gone, not destroy them.
Ned Brown: Don't worry. Don't worry about anything. When you come back here, you'll find everything just as as is - if not, more so.
Dr. Brown: But, it's a big responsibility you've got, Ned, and I want you to realize it.
Ned Brown: Now, don't be a boy. Don't be a boy! Remember, we are here today, yes sir, we are here today and tomorrow - tomorrow we're in Brooklyn. Forget all about this place. Go out there and get a load of those dames - with the shredded wheat and the big ukuleles. And you'll come back here with that school girl complexion, where no metal can touch you. Everything's going to be Jake! Signed and sealed.
