Adam Schiff: Caroline Bennett will make a jury want to dig Webber up and kill him all over again. (edit) Rey Curtis: He had a new PlayStation.
Anita van Buren: CD system?
Rey Curtis: With like six games.
Anita van Buren: Crash Bandicoot?
Lennie Briscoe: Excuse me, young parents? My daughter's idea of high technology was Barbie's convertible. (edit) Arlene Webber: He wanted his girlfriends and his weekends in Las Vegas with whores, and he wanted to be married to me. Like one thing didn't affect the other. (edit)

When the grandson is playing the PlayStation game Crash Bandicoot, he defeats the evil doctor and that would defeat the game. Seconds later he is on a dark temple level that actually takes place prior to the confrontation with the evil doctor. (edit)

This episode is ripped from the headlines of the Jeffery Nichols case. Like the deadbeat dad in this episode, Nichols also sent his wife an insulting postcard while he was on a lavish vacation. It said, "Marilyn, having a ball. Glad you're not here." (edit)
