Abe: They're not gonna crush our freedom! We smoke raisins, but they just eat 'em! The sun is raising us to a higher plane! After this line, there's gonna be a reprain!
JFK: Watch me! Hold me! Sign my cast for me! Oh wheel meeeeee!
Clones: And it's raising us higher, and higher! Raisins are from heaven, now we're raising hell!
Parents: Higher, and higher!

Abe: You're going to fall! When push comes to shove, we'll conquer with love!
Clones: Love! Only love! Love love love love love love love, lovvvvvve!
Cleo: This isn't working! Love is just an abstract concept, it can't knock down stuff!
Scudworth: I'll build it higher!
Abe: I'm getting higher!
Scudworth: Higheeeeeeer!
Abe: HIGHER!
Scudworth: Highhhhhhhhheeeeer!
Abe: Higherrrrrrrrrrr... [Abe hits his head] where am I?
Linchon: Inside of you, inside of me too! And me... is you! You must see the truth about the evil raisins, you're all enslaved by the joints that you're blazin'! If you free up the kids, it'd be you that they're praisin'! Cleo would do ya, and I hear she's amazin'! You were my cloned conception, now you'll lead us to redemption... for you are my son.

Abe: I am now Joan! Man, I look like a JACKASS in these rainbow shorts!
Joan: Yes you do, Abe.
(edit) [singing]
Abe: Grounded?! For what? For growing up, for being free?
Abe's dad: We're doing this for you boy, not doing this for me! You're not going to the hippie beach circle peace fair!
Abe's mom: Abe!
Abe: Abe's my slave name, square!
Abe's mom: Captian Lavender! Raisins are building a barrier! And we need to build a wall to break it down!
Abe: You don't understand us! You and this stinking town! I wish I could die, your barbeque chicken is very dry!
[Abe throws chicken at mirror, and it breaks to show himself]
Abe: Ahhhh! (edit) (singing)
Scudworth: I'm building a fence... it's our last defence... raisins will be past tense and I'll rule the par-ents, build it higher! Build it high-igh-igher! Build it high-igh-er! AHAHAHAHAHA! (edit) (singing)
The Pusher: I'm the PUSHER! THE PUSHER! I push raisins on kids... and kids think it's cool! They don't have to do it, parents say stay in school. I'm the pusher, I'm the pusher! I'm always looming, the famlies boycott... first they'll smoke raisins, then they'll shoot up apricots! I know you can't resist me! So you wanna smoke some fruit? Check out my sweet-ass, matching pants dude! I'm the bad ass, flow train Pusher! I'm the booty-licking, taco sticking PUSHER! Kids think, drugs are cool! That is why I rule... I provoke, simple folk, to just smoke! Take a toke, GET YOUR FOOT OFF MY CLOAK!
Joan: Oh, sorry.
The Pusher: I'm the sky high, high dry Pusher! I'm the smokescreen, hazy green Pusher! Booty loving, raisin smoking Pusher! And in summary... I'M THE PUSHER! (edit) (singing)

JFK's Hot-boxed van
It is scientifically impossible to hot-box a van as big as JFK's, using a single Raisin joint. Especially after Gandhi breaks the window, which would no longer make the van airtight. (edit) In JFK's van, Abe is being pressured to smoke Raisins, and the heads of six of the clones in the van disattach from their bodies and fly around in a circle. Catherine the Great's head, who is one of the clones there, is missing. (edit) Gandhi empties the entire bag of trail-mix into his mouth but when he's riding on Geldemoor several minutes later, she asks him if he could eat some more to lighten the load. How is he supposed to eat more if he ate it all? (edit) The crown Scudworth is wearing when he decides that he's King of the PTA looks very similiar to the Prom King crown in ep 13. It could even be the same one. (edit) When Gandhi's pupils shatter, he panics and jumps through a window in JFK's van. Why is JFK not concerned about his property being damaged? (edit)

Scooby-Doo
Abe: Let's see who this pusher REALLY is!
A reference to the Scooby-Doo cartoon series, where every paranormal angtagonist was actually just a human with an ulterior motive. At the end of every episode, Fred would say "Let's see who this -insert monster- really is!" (edit) The Flaming Guitar
When Abe and the hippies are at the beach, Jimi Hendrix sets his guitar on fire and raises it towards the sky. This is similiar to when the original Jimi Hendrix set his guitar on fire, in June of 1967. (edit) Backstreet Boys
The boy band, Backstreet Boys, are again mentioned in this episode. (edit) Scarface:
When the principal is singing on top of the wall, lightning flashes, outlining him in black and white. This is similiar to the poster for the movie Scarface, where Al Pacino is outlined in black and white. (edit) Richard the Lion-Hearted:
During the PTA meeting, the principal refers to himself as King Scudworth the Lion-Hearted. This is an allusion to the french, King Richard the First, whose bravery and military activities made him famous. (edit)
