Joy had been taking pills in order to relax for court. She was a new woman. Earl and Randy weren't even able to recognize her with her new attitude. She even loaned Earl her luggage for their big trip. Darnell missed Joy's feisty side, especially when it came to their annoying neighbors.
Randy and Earl were surprised to learn that they needed to get passports to go to Mexico. Earl was having a difficult time keeping his eyes open for the picture. So, Randy put a picture of eyes over Earl's eyelids in order to make the photo work.
Randy and Earl were on their first plane ride. Earl had all types of questions for the flight attendant and he was annoying other passengers. He ended up getting himself and Randy kicked off the flight and then had to find another way to get to Mexico. Earl decided to see a doctor for a sedative to calm his flying fears.

- 1st Flight Attendant: Get the straps, we've got a biter.
- Randy: Hey wait...if there's a pill that can make Joy not mean, I bet there's a pill that can make you not a sissy. Maybe I can break it up and make it in your apricot...Shoot! Why did I tell you that? I know I just switch it in your banana...Damn it! I did it again. Now I'm running out of fruits.
- Earl: Randy, I can swallow a pill whole.

- Catalina: You have to believe me. I'm an American. McDonalds, Disneyland, Jim Belushi.
