- GoofsWhen Sam is first told by one of the brothers that "Mundy" had arrived, Al then explains to him that it would be Clyde Mundy, the Chief of Police. Shortly after that, Sam talks to Clyde by phone, as Clyde is in the diner. Sam calls him Chief Mundy. However, after his conversation with Sam, Clyde hangs up the phone & requests of one of the waitresses that she get him a piece of pecan pie, to which she responds, "Sure, Sheriff." In the next scene, as Clyde sits down to eat his pie & coffee, the husband of one of the bank employees comes in & immediately addresses him as "Chief." Also, it can be seen that Clyde's badge is the traditional "shield" of a local police officer & not the "star" of a county Sheriff's Department.
- Quotes
Neil Walters: You did it, didn't you? You saved us again. Pop would be so proud. God, what a disappointment I must have been. I... I never could be what he wanted. I never could be you.
Dr. Sam Beckett: Neil, it's all right.
Neil Walters: I tried to do the right things. I never wanted to be head of the family. I've ruined... everything he built.
Dr. Sam Beckett: You did your best.
Neil Walters: How? By losing a farm?
Dr. Sam Beckett: No. By being there when he needed you. Don't you see? In the end, it wasn't my face he saw, it was yours. And no matter what happens to me, no matter what I do for the rest of my life, I can never change that. That moment belongs to you.
