At Nemo's, Ray and Debra order Melanzane, which is Italian for "eggplant." (edit) At the beginning of the episode, Ray is on the phone with Tommy Lasorda, who is a Hall of Famer and former manager of the L.A. Dodgers. (edit) Starting with this episode, the twins are renamed Michael and Geoffery. The name change was made when it was felt that life imitated art in the pilot, in which the twins were named Matthew and Gregory (the names of Ray Romano's real-life twins). (edit)

Marie: When we first got married, I say "I love you" all the time.
Frank: When? When did you say it?
Marie: I said it all the time! (edit) Ray: (on the phone) Yea, I miss you too. Okay, yea, I'll see you tomorrow. And honey, I love you. Good, well, get used to it because I'm gonna say it all the time. Okay. Now give the phone to mommy. (edit) Debra: I love you.
Ray: ...And I, you.
(Debra walks off)
Ray: Debra! DEBRA!
Ali: (as Marlon Brando) STELLA! (edit) Frank: (talking to Marie and Robert) This love stuff... we never mention it again. (edit) Ray: Oh, now I don't love you.
Debra: You don't say it.
Ray: I do.
Debra: No you don't.
Ray: I do!
Debra: When do you say it?
Ray: WITH MY EYES! (edit)

The living room and bedroom set are different in this episode than in the first one. (edit) This episode's "Where's Lunch" dish is steak with mixed vegetables and a baked potato. (edit)

Marlon Brando: Ally impersonates Marlon Brando, when she says, "I made him an offer he can't refuse." This is a classic line Brando's character in the movie The Godfather. (edit)
