When Radar is doing an impersonation of John Wayne he quoted a line from "McLintock" (1963), "I know I'm gonna use good judgement. I haven't lost my temper in 40 years, but pilgrim you caused a lot of trouble this monring, might have got somebody killed...and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't. The hell I won't.", which wasn't filmed untill 10 years after the series timeline ended.
