  • The name Chett assumes when he pranks Scampi is Ace Frehley, one of the original members of the rock band KISS.

Memorable Moments

Quotes

  • (Lisa bows and her cap falls off, revealing her hair)
Kommandant: Your hair seems to be a bit beyond regulation length. Of course, rank has its privileges, nicht wahr? It is bouncin' and behavin'.
Lisa: Thank you.
Kommandant: "Thank you"? Hah! "Thank you"?! Us German guys never say "thank you"! You are a fake German guy! Guards! You are very good, Wisenhiemer, but no disguise can escape these eagle eyeballs of mine. Take this man to the cooler!
