Trivia
Moira asks Twyla if the chef could whip her up a kifla. A kifla is a crescent-shaped yeasted dough that's popular in central Europe, and is thought to be the inspiration for croissants.

Goofs
Near the end, Emir refers to dinner plans "for Stevie and I", and then goes on to say "between you and I". In both cases, it should be "me".

Quotes
Ray Butani: [Opens the door to Patrick and David's room] Knock! Knock! Is everybody decent?
David Rose: [David is still sleeping with his head resting against Patrick's shoulder but he's startled awake by Ray's voice] Oh my god!
Patrick Brewer: Once again Ray? Saying "knock! knock!" isn't the same as actually knocking?
Ray Butani: I know. But I'm making some breakfast and I was wondering if I should save some for you two?
David Rose, Patrick Brewer: Sure!
Ray Butani: Great! Door open or closed?
David Rose: Closed.
David Rose: [Turns to Patrick] I thought you were going to talk to him about this? I very rarely let people see me before 9:00 AM.
Patrick Brewer: I did! The knock knock is him taking the note!
David Rose: Well, maybe you should invest in a lock, lock?
Ray Butani: Gentlemen?
David Rose: Wholly fuck! What?
Ray Butani: [Opening the door again!] I just realized that we don't have any eggs. But I have pancake mix. How do we feel about that?
David Rose: 4, please!
Ray Butani: David, I constantly hear about how you eat too much but I saw you walk from your bedroom to the shower and you look fine.
Patrick Brewer: Ray? We might need a minute.
Ray Butani: Great! Door opened or closed?
Patrick Brewer: Closed!
David Rose: [Turning to Patrick] WOWWWWWWW!
Patrick Brewer: Okay! This isn't working anymore. I think it's time that we got an apartment.
David Rose: Oh! Okay if that's what you want?
Patrick Brewer: I think it's more of a need at this point, David, I've been thinking about it for a while now?
Ray Butani: Gentlemen? You're going to laugh at this but I found the eggs in the pantry they were sitting by the pancake mix so they've been out for days.
David Rose: Can I still have the pancakes?
Ray Butani: Yes!
[Ray walks away without closing David and Patrick's bedroom door]
Patrick Brewer: Ray?
Ray Butani: Patrick?
Patrick Brewer: [Makes a "close the door" gesture] Door closed.
Ray Butani: Of course!

Selling Motellin!

Alexis finds out that a hotel critic is going to be staying and will be writing a review. Of course, not surprisingly, it is decided to treat this guy like royalty and act like all hotel guests get the same treatment. Stevie is to pretend to be a guest and talk the place up. The problem is that this guy is attracted to her and they hit it off. The gyrations they go through are hilarious. In another plot development Jocelyn is going through some post partum thing with wild mood swings. She is furious that no one seems to realize how little sleep she is getting and how little control she has over her own life. Moira is beyond belief in her totally insensitive reactions to her friend's problems.
