Quotes

Michael: The fact is, now that Mum's "hands-off", it's like there's two Bens, and one of you has to go.

Ben: What?

Michael: You're expendable.

Trivia

For the entire first season, the hinges on the front door are on the right and the stairs have a corner at the bottom. However in all seasons after this, the hinges on the front door are on the left and the stairs go straight down to the floor, no corner. (Some sets do sometimes change between the pilot episode and episode 2, but I have never seen something change after a whole season.) See more...
