(Mr. McDuff is handing assignments to the writers.)
Lo Kinney: How about me, Mr. McDuff?
Mr. McDuff: Oh, uh... Crumb cakes!
Lo Kinney: Excuse me?
Mr. McDuff: I want to hear what kind of victory vittles the ladies are baking for the soldiers coming home from the war.
Helen: Red, white and blue Jell-O gelatin! That's a story gals will go dizzy for! (edit) Lilly: Is it true? Jeffries got demoted?
Lt. Stillman: Disciplined... the bosses put him on desk duty.
Lilly: For how long?
Lt. Stillman: Undetermined.
Lilly: Well, that's going to make him nuts.
Lt. Stillman: Doesn't help that his birthday's this week.
Lilly: Oh, right. Double whammy.
Lt. Stillman: No, whatever you do, don't mention it to him. He was very clear... no cake, no presents. (edit) Noah: (to Lo Kinney) A month ago, a woman asks you what type of curtains to use. You tell her, "None, so you can see the sky." (edit) Helen: Women don't want to be bothered with war talk.
Lo Kinney: Because meat pies and nylons are so much more interesting. (edit) Noah: Lo was my second chance after so much darkness. I came here to start over and there she was: light. When she died, though, that light went out for good. (edit)

Highlight for a spoiler:
Noah Pool's real name was Anton Bikker. (edit) The show is being consistent with the timing of Will Jeffries' birthday. In episode 2-22: Best Friends, which aired on May 8, 2005, he turned 60. Now in this episode he had his 61st birthday. We can assume that Det. Jeffries' birthday is in the beginning of May. (edit) Highlight for a spoiler:
Det. Jeffries was put on desk duty for an indetermined period of time as a punishment for punching ADA Danner in the previous episode. (edit) Lorena Kinney died on July 17, 1945. (edit)

The numbering system used to identify Jewish people in the Nazi German concentration camps is called Ka-tzetnik. The numbers on the concentration camp inmates' arms are referred to as tattoos. This is a common way to describe them but they were not actually tattoos. The numbers were burned into peoples' arms in the same way animals are branded. The process left a permanent scar.
