Episode Trivia

"Chuck Versus The Marlin" was the last episode written before the writer's strike put an end to production. Although not written as such, this made the episode the show's first season finale. The episode aired on January 24 as part of a two-episode block. It was preceded by "Chuck Versus the Undercover Lover" at 8pm EST, and an episode of The Apprentice at 9pm. The block was promoted by Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski and Sarah Lancaster.
The type of bug found in the Buy More is a "GLG-20", a reference to the movie "Spies Like Us" (1985). Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd portrayed two bumbling government employees who are recruited by the CIA to serve as decoys and GLG-20 is the rank they receive upon graduating from "spy school".
Sarah: (to a customer) "Danke, dass Sie uns im Wienerlicious besucht haben." The translation of this German phrase is: "Thank you for visiting us at Wienerlicious."

Chuck: Does the name Ilsa Trinchina mean anything to you, Sugar Bear?
Casey: (Casey grabs Chuck and hoists him up against the wall by his neck) You say that name ever again, and I will end you! Nod if you understand.
(Casey slams Chuck's head into the wall, forcibly nodding it)
Chuck: Casey, you're hurting the Intersect!
Ilsa: We had nothing on him, the only way to get it out of him...
Casey: By screwing it out of him? How um.. French.
Chuck: I'm glad Casey had someone at least once in his life. I was beginning to think downstairs, he was built like a Ken doll.
Chuck: Okay, you know what? If you wanna go through life all emotionally constipated and alone then suit yourself. I'll let you go back to protecting the greater good, you freaking robot.
Casey: I met her in a flower market in Rome. Ilsa was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
Chuck: I knew it. (shouting) It's alive!

Episode Trivia

"Chuck Versus the Undercover Lover" was one of two episodes aired on January 24, 2008 to close out the first season. It was run at 8pm EST, followed by an episode of The Apprentice, with the second episode of Chuck, Chuck Versus the Marlin, airing at 10pm. These were the last two episode completed by the time of the 2007 Writer's Strike interrupted production of the series.
Stunt Coordinator Merritt Yohnka won the 2008 Emmy Award for "Outstanding Stunt Coordination" for this episode, notably for the fall out of the hotel window stunt.
This episode includes many references to the 1942 movie "Casablanca":
- The name of Casey's ex-girlfriend is Ilsa, the same name as Rick's ex-girlfriend in Casablanca and her husband's name is Victor, the same as Ilsa's husband in Casablanca.
- Casey's ex-girlfriend gets on a plane seemingly never to see him again, the same as in Casablanca with Rick and Ilsa.
- Chuck says "Don't worry buddy, you'll always have me". In Casablanca the line was "We'll always have Paris".
- The last line of this episode is Chuck telling Casey: "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship". The same famous line was used in Casablanca's ending scene by Rick to Captain
"Louie" Renault (see videos below).
- When Ilsa meets Casey in the Buy More, the movie playing on the TV is Casablanca.
The scene where Chuck and Casey fall out of the hotel window into the pool is a nod to a similar scene from the movie "Lethal Weapon 2" (see videos below).

Best Quotes

Morgan: By the way, never trust a woman whose name is a palindrome.
Big Mike: So there's no confusion, I'll go over the rules. Rule #1: JEFF, no spiking the egg nog!
Jeff: Can I bring my own?
Big Mike: No! Rule #2: JEFF, no holding the mistletoe over the women and copping a feel.
Chuck: Sir, hopefully, if Jeff follows rule #1, which I'm sure...he might do, uh, then rule #2 won't...won't apply.
Big Mike: Good point.
Sarah: Casey, what are you doing here?
Casey: Someone needs to protect the Intersect, huh?
Chuck: Well, that's very thoughful. Thank you very much, I guess.
Casey: Plus, I didn't want to miss any gunplay. Come on.

Episode Trivia

Chuck comments that John Casey's Crown Victoria is "shiny" and John agrees with "you're damn right she's shiny!" - a reference to Adam Baldwin's previous cult hit series, Firefly, in which he played the ruthless, gun-toting, constantly-snacking mercenary, Jayne Cobb. In the series (and its subsequent feature film, "Serenity"), the word "shiny" is used to mean "cool". Furthermore Casey's "relationship" with his car is similar to Jayne's relationship with Vera (his favorite gun).
Casey tells Chuck "Flush out your headgear new guy," which is a reference to Adam Baldwin's character Animal Mother from "Full Metal Jacket" (1987). The scene is from the point in the movie where the platoon is standing over their Platoon Leader and another Marine who were killed on the way into Hue City. Animal Mother tells Rafterman to flush out his headgear when Rafterman says the Marines died for a good cause.
Big Mike calls Morgan "Captain Stubing" when he's walking through the Buy More in a boating cap and jacket. Captain Stubing was the captain of the "Love Boat".
While on the attache's boat, Morgan mimics the "King of the World" scene from "Titanic".
While playing the roulette, Chuck says: "Always bet on black", a quote popularized by Wesley Snipes in "Passenger 57".

Episode Trivia

This episode answered several questions left by the pilot episode, specifically why Bryce stole the Intersect and sent it to Chuck in the first place. The episode is the beginning of the Fulcrum arc which became the primary focus of Season 2.
The drug Bryce injects Chuck with is dehalcynate, the fictional drug from the movie "The Island" (2005).
The language spoken by Chuck and Bryce is Klingon, an alien language created for the Star Trek film and series franchise.

Casey: Yeah, whatever you say. And just so we're clear, sister: NOT INTERESTED.
Casey: (Hands Chuck a red rose) Aren't you forgetting something, Romeo?
Chuck: Oh-hoh, of course. Let me guess: this is equipped with some kind of microscopic, infrared tracking device that determines... her mother's Communist affiliations?
Casey: No, idiot. It's so you can get laid.
General Beckman: I don't like the idea of this breakup at all. What the hell happened?
Casey: She got dumped.
Sarah: We decided that it would be best for Chuck to date a civilian. It will help secure his cover in the event that someone IDs me.
Casey: Yeah, because she got dumped.
Casey: (after Lou walks off on Chuck) How was the date?
Chuck: Is it just me, or does our government want me never to have sex again?

Episode Trivia

Chuck's stunt coordinator Merritt Yohnka appeared in this episode as the Bomb Squad Captain.
The scene of Sarah and Chuck locked in a trunk arguing is very similar to a scene in the movie "Out of Sight" between George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez (see videos below).
Morgan was playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare which is a single-player and multi player first person shooter for many video game systems.
The scene where Chuck and Lou are making out in the Nerd Herd car is very similar to the make out scene between Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet in "Titanic" (see videos below).

Chuck: (to Sarah) God, you're so pretty...and Casey, your jaw was chiseled by Michelangelo himself.
Casey: Thank you.
Sarah: I'm so sorry, Chuck.
Chuck: Hey, I've lived a good life. Who else can say they flew a helicopter or saved the lives of innocent people?
Casey: Courageous and honorable members of the U.S. military.
Chuck: You know, if I had a blog, this would be a really big day for me.
Sarah: (to Chuck) I think it's time for us to make love.
Chuck: (after tasting his coffee) Hot Coffee!
Ellie: If everything is awesome, and nothing is unawesome, then awesome by definition is just mediocre!

Episode Trivia

Ellie's full name is revealed to be Eleanor Fay Bartowski.
This episode marked the departure of C.S. Lee, who played Harry Tang. Although Lee enjoyed working on Chuck, his commitment to "Dexter" took up too much time for him to be able to work on both series simultaneously.
Hot Coffee was a hidden mini-game in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that received significant media attention because it allowed players to perform sexual acts on one of a number of NPCs in the game.
The scene where Sarah shoots Reardon Payne in the leg is a reference to the Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (see videos below).

Casey: You're looking for this? (gives Chuck his Stanford student ID)
Chuck: You stole my ID?
Casey: I borrowed it to reactivate it. Sorry I couldn't wipe the idiot grin off your face with photoshop.
Chuck: You didn't offer to kill Harry for Anna, did you?
Casey: No. Why? You want me to kill him?
Chuck: No. No, just curious.
Chuck: Are you guys serious? I'm not gonna have a guy rubbed out because he upsets our lunch schedule!

Episode Trivia

Goof: The lunch schedule posted by Harry Tang incorrectly lists Morgan as a Nerd Herder rather than a "Green Shirt".
The scenes from Stanford University were actually filmed on the campus of UCLA (which is ironic, considering it was the rival school in this episode).
Captain Awesome remarks that instead of Stanford he'd rather see UCLA play SC (the University of Southern California), the Alma Mater of series creators Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak.
Harry: "!It is now mine! The one remote that controls them all, the master remote!" This is a reference to the movie trilogy "Lord of the Rings", which was referenced earlier in the episode when Morgan refers to Harry as Lord Sauron (see video below).

Angry Customer: (sarcastically) You must be so proud of yourself.
Chuck: (earnestly) I wouldn't go so far as to say proud!

Episode Trivia

The two German words that Sarah speaks in this episode "geschlossen" and "willkommen", both mean "closed" and "welcome", respectively.
Harry Tang's full name is revealed to be Harold Tiberius Tang, an homage to Capt. James Tiberius Kirk of the original Star Trek series and films.
Jeff and Lester are dressed for Halloween as the farming husband and wife, respectively, from Grant Wood's famous painting American Gothic.
The costume worn by Chuck Bartowski and Morgan Grimes is based on the sandworms of Arrakis featured in David Lynch's "Dune" (1984).
The game Morgan plays in the arcade is called Guitar Shredder. Very similar to games like "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band".
Chuck disarms the bomb at seven seconds left on the countdown just like the bomb in the James Bond movie "Goldfinger", which was also mentioned several times during this episode.
Briefly at the end when Casey is listening to Chuck and Morgan discussing sandwiches, a portrait of Ronald Reagan can be seen on his coffee table. Casey has mentioned before that his favorite president was Ronald Reagan.
The costume worn by Sarah in the fake photograph she gives Chuck, and later at the Halloween party, is based on the "slave girl" bikini worn by Princess Leia in Jabba's palace. The character Chuck is portraying in the fake photo is Han Solo, the romantic interest of Leia.
Yvonne Strahovski's appearance wearing the slave bikini costume earned her #24 of the 25 sexiest women on TV by Wizard magazine. However IGN.com gave Strahovski the top honor in their 25 Boob Tube Babes list.
The end scene when Chuck runs back home in slow-motion while Finlay Quaye's song "Dice" plays, is a copy of the end sequence from The O.C. episode "The Countdown", Josh Schwartz' debut series. (see videos below)

Carina: Now, see that man over there? Payman Alahi: his house, his party, his diamond. For now.
Chuck: Are you talking about Señor Wookie over there?
Morgan: If Chuck is Solo, Larkin is his Fett!

Episode Trivia

The video game Chuck is playing is Halo 3, a first person shooter for the Xbox 360.
The Original episode title was: "Chuck Versus The Speedo".
Just before the fight in the lobby, Carina and Sarah hold a short conversation. Carina's question is in Mini Anden's native Swedish: "Om jag slänger nycklarna till dig, kommer du tappa dem då?" (which means "If I throw you the keys, will you drop them?"); Sarah responds in Polish, which is Yvonne Strahovski's second language: "Tylko jak rzucisz jak twoja mamusia", which means "Only if you throw it like your mommy".
Allison Adler, the writer of this episode, confirmed via Twitter that Carina (Mini Anden) will make an appearance in Season 3.

Carina (Mini Anden) and Sarah	Casey is having some troubles: "It's just like Prague".
