Bailey: "You know we could use more, Sam."
Sam: "Well I don't have any more right now. I mean what do you guys think, you just push a button and all these answers are gonna come out of me, I mean..."

(outside Wykoff's house)
Bailey: "Reminds me of this crazy old man who lived on the street where I grew up. Junk house we called it. We used to throw rocks at it. He'd come out, shaking his fist and we'd run the hell away."
John: "They must be allergic to light or privacy freaks, the blinds are closed on every window. We'll have to come back with a warrant."
Sam (to Bailey): "Unless you feel like tucking a few rocks at it."

Lou Handleman refers to the second victim's murder as a "Kevorkian deal". This remark points to a doctor Jack Kevorkian, who is notorious in the United States for his pro-euthanasia actions. He claims to have helped over 130 people commit suicide and he is currently in a Michigan prison. He was convicted of second degree murder and of using a "controlled substance" (lethal drug).
During the party scene, the song that we hear while Bailey is kicking the guys out of his house, is "Misirlou" by Dick Dale and His Del-Tones. The song was published in 1962. The song that Frances dances to in her room is "Jungle Boogie" by Kool & The Gang. The song was a million seller in 1973, and it can be found in the band's numerous greatest hits collections. Here are the lyrics to the song.
