Peace Pipe - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Before Roy and Johnny climb up to the injured man (who was shot) lying on the scaffolding, they put on their life belts (pompier) with the tongue buckles and carabiner hooks towards their right sides, but both stuntmen wear their belts the opposite way. Also note the axe sheaths (attached to the pompier belts) are upside down on Roy and Johnny, but right-side up on the stuntmen.

Peace Pipe - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny decide the only choice is to break the glass on the gumball machine, Roy holds the green bottle of soap, but they're both empty handed when they walk back to the squad. When Johnny hands Roy the gloves and the 5-hole hydrant wrench, then start to walk back to the boy, in the next shot the green bottle of soap has suddenly reappeared in Roy's arms.

Peace Pipe - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Vince finds the liquor bottle in the drunk driver's car, he says that the driver has a cut, but doesn't think he feels it, and in the next overhead shot we see Johnny and Roy (at the left of the screen) walking away from the car with the drunk driver between them. However, in the next shot the drunk is still in the car, then in the next shot we see them at the front corner of Engine 51 in the background, but then he's back in the car again.

Trainee - S2-E8

Roy: I think you're on some sort of an ego trip, Ed. And in my book that makes you a very dangerous character.
Ed: [Laughs.] Ego trip, huh? Well, I didn't realize that psychiatry was part of the paramedic's training.
Roy: Oh that's good, Ed, you be funny. But that isn't gonna change anything. You wanna know what I figure? Well, I figure when you were working in Vietnam, it was rough. So rough you started playing over your head. And you were making it, you were doing real good. Considering it was a combat situation. And pretty soon you started getting all blown up about how Ed Marlowe is just as good as the real doctors. And you've been living on that ever since. And the trouble is, Ed, you are good. Except for two little problems. You can't quit competing with real doctors. And you can't face being wrong. You see, those people we treat out there, I mean the people we work for, the people who pay for this whole operation, they're real people, Ed, with real problems. And they have a right to expect more than just being used by you for some sort of trip. [Completely exasperated.] I guess what I'm trying to say to you, Ed, is that in my book you're just plain unprofessional.
[Ed walks out.]
John: Do you think it did any good?
Roy: Do you?

The Game - S6-E1

Trivia: It's in this episode that the Heimlich Maneuver is used for the first time by the paramedics. At the USC game, when a guy is choking on a hot dog, John and Roy are called, and John uses the Heimlich. Up until season 6 we've seen the guys use other methods, such as the ChokeSaver which look like huge white tweezers, to remove obstructions in an airway, as seen in 4x9, "Foreign Trade."

The Mouse - S4-E20

Question: The old man that comes in with his wife that can't breathe, the one that the head nurse tries to counsel and tempts him with a cup of coffee. I believe he is Alfred Hitchcock, though his name is not listed anywhere. Alfred Hitchcock is known for his cameo appearances in his own shows and in other shows. Can someone confirm that this is him? This is driving me nuts... It is toward the end of the episode, but I cannot give you times.

Answer: I believe you are speaking of the old man, Mr. Wilson. He's played by J. Pat O'Malley.

Bishop73

Correct, it was J. Pat O'Malley...he also played the grandfather with his grandson when their rocket exploded, and also played "Old Bill" in the episode with Ann Prentiss, where Gage saves the little girl from the burning tree house, and her mother falls in love with him.
