Alan: Actually, they need the dress for evidence. (edit) Alan: Would you like me to look away?
Renata: Yeah, if you have to sneeze or something. (edit) Paul: And where are you going?
Denny: Rehab! I said something bad about the Jews, I don't know what but Bethany has left me over it. Anyway, I recognise that I have issues I need to examine within my soul. I'm getting treatment and, with the help of family and friends I shall make a full recovery. (edit) Alan: I've done a lot of talking over the years. I'm tired, I'm rich. (edit) Denny: Bethany, if I sometimes come off as insensitive, it’s because I—I—I got a lot to deal with. I got the, uh — Mad Cow. I date a midget. I was in love with a midget’s mother. It’s not easy being me. (edit)

Alan may have worked with Renata when he was at Abbott and Carruthers, the firm he worked at before he went to Young, Frutt & Berluti which he was fired from for embezzling. (edit)

Episode Title: The Bride Wore Blood
The title of this episode is a reference to the 1968 Truffaut film The Bride Wore Black starring Jeanne Moreau. (edit) Alan: OJ did it. Robert Blake did it. John Mark Karr wishes he did it.
Alan refers to three famous criminal suspects:
OJ Simpson (athlete and movie star) was accused of murdering his wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman, but he was found not guilty.
Robert Blake (star of the TV series Baretta) was accused of murdering his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley, but also was found not guilty.
John Mark Karr confessed to the murder of six-year old JonBenet Ramsay, but DNA evidence excluded him from being the perpetrator. (edit)
