Chuck: One, one more thing. There was one more name, another name I flashed on actually. But I left her name off the list.
Casey: What the hell are you talking about, Bartowski?
Chuck: Does the name Ilsa Trinchina mean anything to you, Sugar Bear?
Casey: (Casey grabs Chuck and slams him against the wall) You say that name ever again, and I will end you! Nod if you understand.
(Chuck nods hitting his head against the wall)
Chuck: Casey you're hurting the Intersect.
(Casey lets him go) (edit) Ilsa: We had nothing on him, the only way to get it out of him...
John Casey: By screwing it out of him? How um.. French. (edit) Chuck: I'm glad Casey had someone at least once in his life. I was beginning to think downstairs, he was built like a Ken doll. (edit) Sarah: Ellie are you sure you're okay?
Ellie: It is just that, I have both feet in and Devin has only one foot in. So then, it's just me taking care of three feet and I wanted it to be us and now taking care of four feet. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Sarah: Completely.
Ellie: Of course you do, of course you do. (edit) Ellie: Thank you.
Morgan: You're welcome.
Ellie: For last night.
Morgan: You know nothing happened.
Ellie: Mostly thanks for that. (edit)

Featured Music:
"Mexican Hat Dance" (Chuck's cellphone ring tone)
"Love On The Rocks" by Neil Diamond
"Ultimate" by Gogol Bordello (edit) Sarah does not say "Don't touch me again, pig." in Russian to her assailant (as the subtitles say). Her statement isn't very clear because of a very heavy non-Russian accent, but it sounds more like: "Touch me again, and I'll break-off not only your finger." (Datronsya do menya otkruchu ne tolko paletz.) (edit) The dance the Russian arms dealers are performing at the hotel is called Kalinka and is a national Russian dance. (edit)

Casablanca:
This episode includes many references to the 1942 movie Casablanca including:
1) The name of Casey's ex-girlfriend is Ilsa, the same name as Rick's ex-girlfriend in Casablanca.
2) Casey's ex-girlfriend gets on a plane seemingly never to see him again, the same as in Casablanca with Rick and Ilsa.
3) Chuck says "Don't worry buddy, you'll always have me". In Casablanca the line was "We'll always have Paris".
4) Chuck says to Casey: "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship". The same famous line used in Casablanca by Rick to Captain "Louie" Renault.
5) When Ilsa meets Casey in the Buy More, the movie playing on the TV is Casablanca. (edit) The Lone Ranger
Chuck: (To Casey) Kemosabe, come on, man, look! You don't want to spend the rest of your life hating yourself for what you didn't have the guts to say tonight.
"Kemosabe" was the name Tonto used to call the Lone Ranger in the 1949 movie The Lone Ranger. (edit) Frankenstein
Chuck: It's alive!
That famous line was spoken by Dr. Henry Frankenstein when the monster he created came to life in the 1931 movie Frankenstein and its spawns. (edit)
