Production
- This episode was the first one to be aired after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. From this episode on, the shot of the World Trade Center Towers in the opening credits is absent, replaced by additional shots of industrial scenery before reaching the toll booth.
- Vince Curatola (Johnny Sack) is now billed in the opening credits but only for the episodes which he appears in.
- Paulie's prison stay was written into the series to allow more time off for actor Tony Sirico, who was recovering from major back surgery.
- The wrestler Johnny Valiant appears in this episode as Carmine Lupertazzi's bodyguard.
- A comment made by Carmine Lupertazzi to Tony Soprano, "A don doesn't wear shorts", was added into the show after series creator David Chase was contacted by a supposed real-life mafia associate who praised him on the authenticity of the show, with the exception that Tony often wears shorts, which he said a real don would never do.
- This is the only Sopranos episode in which the end credits roll on top of a picture (the eye of the twenty dollar bill) instead of a black background.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
