Robert Goren: (to John Tagman) With all our complaining, it's women who are vulnerable. (edit) (Watching one of John Tagman's soft porn videos.)
Robert Goren: Is that what you like, John? Cuddling? Holding her close to you? (edit) Robert Goren: I guess you've gotten used to being by yourself. Is that what you're saying?
John Tagman: You don't really get used to it.
Robert Goren: No, you... (pauses) No, you don't ever really get used to it. (edit) John Tagman: I don't think it's possible for a person to understand himself. (edit)

This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the Jeffrey Dahmer case. Like the killer in this story, Dahmer would drill holes in the heads of his victims and pour hot water (or weak acid) on their brains, in the hopes of making them his zombie slaves. He also ate body parts of his victims, just like this episode's killer. (edit)
