The more interesting word used in this episode is bupkis. Sam Denoff used the word based on a yiddish expression his mother use to say around the house. He was under the impression that bupkis means "nothing". It wasn't til after the taping that his mother told him that the literal translation of the yiddish word bupkis is goat ****. And since goat **** is worth nothing the word bupkis has come to be used as a synonym for nothing.

what was the second episode?I'm not sure,but it was the one in which Laura returns from shopping for groceries,needs some help,and calling Rob,who says "yeah dear?What do you want",Then she says (just jokingly,but impatiently)with purse handle in mouth,,after taking purse out of mouth and still holding bags,"Yeah.A divorce".

It was in the Baby Fat (http://www.hulu.com/watch/114031/the-dick-van-dyke-show-baby-fat#x-0,vepisode,1,0) episode (about 7 minutes into it) where Rob was punching up a script for Alan written by Harper Worthington Yates. Rob was at the dining room table editing the script when Laura comes home from shopping and the exchange you refer to takes place. He says, "What do you want ?" She says, "A divorce." Rob says, "In a minute." Laura says, "Shall I call our lawyer ?" Rob says, "No, that's alright. I'll call him."

that's right! And I just watched that one again the other night.
