Uncle Joe: "I hope you're not a basketball fan."
Sam: "Well, I know who Michael Jordan is."

(about Sam)
Carl: "She's a handful."
Bailey: "Two handfuls, but worth six times that."

The panther that is Sam's animal spirit guide was actually played by two male panthers, called Satchmo and Shadow. They were provided by the Hollywood Animals organisation, which may have provided more animals to the show as well. Thank you to Vikki McMillan for sharing this information.
