Brad: I'm disappointed, actually. Despite our differences, you're beginning to grow on me.
Jeffrey: Yeah, like a wart. (edit) Bethany: I’m concerned about your closing. You don’t pop. (to Paul) (edit) Bethany: Why should you get to close? You’re so old!
Paul: Must you always be so unpleasant?
Bethany: I'm a very nice person. It just takes a nice person to bring it out in me. (edit) Foreman: In the matter of the Commonwealth versus Denny Crane on the charge of violation of Massachusetts General Law Chapter 105, Section 480, we find the defendant… Denny Crane. Oh. Flips the paper. Not guilty. (edit) Denny: How come the other side always has short closings? (edit)

Final appearance of Craig Bierko.
(edit)
When Denny says "How come the other side always has short closings?", this is a reference to the fact that Alan Shore always makes excessively long closings.
This has been mentioned a few times, from Alan and his former secretary, among other people. (edit)

After Denny and Alan win their case and the DA criticizes them for "celebrating", Denny says "take the LT note, blame it on the head coach". He is referring to a National Football League playoff game between the New England Patriots and San Diego Chargers, played less than a month before this episode aired. After the Patriots upset the Chargers in San Diego, their players danced on the Charger Logo. Star Chargers Running Back Ladanian Tomlinson (Known as "L.T") got into a skirmish with the Patriots players over it, and when asked about it in the press conference after the game, he said the lack of class from the Patriots players comes from their head coach (Bill Bellichick).
(edit)
Jeffrey: (to Claire) And I'll miss you most of all Scarecrow.
This line is in reference to the classic MGM film The Wizard of Oz. Dorothy Gale makes this statement to the Scarecrow who has been her friend throughout her journey. This is a perfect allegory for Jeffrey's relationship with Claire.
This is also the same thing that Ally McBeal said to John Cage as she was leaving the firm in the final episode of Ally McBeal. (edit) The song that played during Jeffrey's final appearance was Randy Newman's "You've Got A Friend In Me" from the 1995 animated movie Toy Story. The joke lies in the fact that Jeffrey was wearing a Buzz Lightyear costume all through the scene. (edit)
