- Mad hanger is shot by Roxy (soul taken by Mason) edit »
When Daisy is talking to the priest, the bow around her neck moves from one shot to another, showing that they were filmed at different times. In one shot, the priest moves it to see her cross round her neck, and in the next it is straight again, then, back to where the priest had moved it. edit »
The song Kyle Lowerdeck sings is a badly covered version of Blind Willie Johnson's song, "Jesus Make Up My Dyin' Bed". Or Bob Dylan's version, "In My Time of Dyin'" which was also covered by Led Zeppelin. edit »
Roxy didn't know - she was just doing her job, which was rather the point given her conversation with Rube later (or if you prefer a fanwank explanation she must have sneaked a peek at Mason's post-it). edit »

For this episode, instead of the regular end title music we have a fully orchestrated version of the song Kyle Lowerdeck sang a capella in the V.I.P. room. edit »

Delores: You know when you're young like you are Millie it's easy. Man, women, bottom, top. Sex is this big buffet and you're just a fat man with a fork but as you get older it's harder to get a fork. edit »
George: I'm not a lesbian.
Delores: Oh Millie, we've all experimented.
George: No I haven't.
Delores: It's not as if I didn't go to college. We've all put our big toe in that water.
George: I really haven't. edit »
Mason: I was born to be a rock star, if I could sing. edit »
Phyllis: Clancy had such a flat ass. You can't trust a man with a flat ass. edit »
Mason: Rube is so F***ing old he reaped Jesus. edit »
