Detailed summary

Memorable quotes

Mayor: Take anything you want, just don't hurt Ms. Bellum.
Crook #1: Ms. Bellum, huh? What do you say I call you "Sweetcheeks?"
Mayor: Oh, call me anything you want. But just rob me and go away. Take my money, some fine art, maybe, my wife, jewels, perhaps, the key to the city, my wife.

Behind the scenes

This episode reveals that the Mayor cares more about Bellum than his own wife; and there are only more continuous references to how the Mayor doesn't look away from a beautiful woman, and would probably cheat on his wife given the chance, if he hasn't already.
Dexter, from Cartoon Network's other series Dexter's Laboratory, is taking a nap at Pokey Oaks.

Errors

Everlasting influence

The boss crook has cameos in "Moral Decay" and "Cover Up." The latter also has the mohawk crook.
