Claire: Isn't this where you go to commercial break? You ask a loaded, melodramatic question, and then you say, "We'll be right back after this." Say it, Clarence!
A commercial immediately followed this scene. It is yet another example of Boston Legal breaking the fourth wall by referring to itself as a TV show. (edit)

Alan: Isn't there anybody you know?
Denny: I can't get anybody. I called Tom DeLay -- his number's disconnected. Foley's got his hands full. Frist said don't take it personally. I called Clarence Thomas. All of a sudden, he's indisposed.
Alan: Did you try going all the way to the top?
Denny: Cheney? (Alan nods) (edit) Alan: Denny, I’m not sure I’ve ever told you this but I truly love America. I would never consider living anywhere else. But this country is only two hundred years old. It’s a work in progress. Especially lately.
Denny: Alright, Mr. Smarty Pants. You get to change one thing. What is it?
Alan: Get rid of all stores that end with ‘Mart.' (edit) Alan: Denny, you're an American! What does any true red-white-and-blue American do when he's been wronged? Or even slightly put out for that matter?
Denny: We sue! (edit) Alan: We have geniuses in this country. True pioneers of innovation. Steve Jobs, Steven Wozniak, Steve Balmer...if we could just round up some of our best Steve's! (edit) Alan: The 9/11 commission, they dumped on you pretty good didn't they?
Linwood Winchell: Somewhat.
Alan: Somewhat?! A 'D' in port security, an 'F' in improving communications for verse responders a 'D' in border security, an 'F' in aviation security, a 'D' in chemical plant security. These aren't passing grades Mr. Winchell. (edit)

Claire tells Clarence/Clarice he/she is not schizophrenic. However, she uses this term interchangably with multiple personality disorder--a common enough error, but still very inexact. The two are not the same thing. (edit)

Alan: Rich friend who will take you to his quail ranch and let you shoot him.
This is referring to Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shooting his friend in the face while they were hunting quail on his friend's ranch. The man suffered a heart attack shortly after the incident. (edit)
