Local cop: "This used to be the public library. They closed it down for termites."
John: "They closed it? Never heard of bug spray in Louisiana?"
John: "Bailey's been out of the hospital for two months, and he's quarter-backing the game."
Sam: "He is?"
John: "Yeah, you bet. The Rattle Snake. He moves, he strikes, the best."
(to Angel who's working out)
Sam: "You know you're only doing that to make me feel guilty. I mean, you've got this perfect body, you're, you're skinny as a rail and yet every morning you come out here and punish yourself."
Sam: "Bailey! What is this? Here's a line of scrimmage, here's me, now I'm supposed to go around there and..."
Bailey: "You run thirty yards on a fly."
Sam: "Right, well what's a fly?"
Bailey: "I toss the ball, you catch it."
Sam (to a Dictaphone): "He tosses the ball, I catch it - fly. Helps me to remember, be quiet."
At the end of the episode, Sam asks "Wasn't it Ebenezer Scrooge who was shown his own corpse by the ghosts?". This is a reference to a popular Christmas story by Charles Dickens, called "A Christmas Carol", first published in 1843. Its protagonist, Ebenezer Scrooge, is a mean and wealthy old man who couldn't care less about the holiday spirit until he's visited by four ghosts. These visits make Ebenezer change his life. Respectively, the four visitors are the ghost of Jacob Marley (Scrooge's dead company partner), the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Chrismas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come. Ebenezer is taken to his own dead, covered body by the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, but Ebenezer can't bring himself to lift off the cloth. However, not until the Ghost takes him to the cemetary is Ebenezer sure that he himself is dead in the apparition.
