Pete wonders if Rosemary Howard is, "one of the ladies who tried to shoot Gerald Ford," thinking of Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme and Sara Jane Moore. They each unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford 17 days apart in 1975.
-
When Jack was role playing as Tracy's father, he uttered the line: "Lady, just because I'm an ignorant black man, and you paid me a nickel to bust up your chifferobe..." This is a direct allusion to Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. In the story, a black man (Tom Robinson) was charged with raping a white girl (Mayella Ewell). Before the incident, Mayella had offered to pay Tom a nickel to bust up a chifferobe of hers.
-
Rosemary : Help me Liz Lemon, you're my only hope! This line is adapted from the original Star Wars movie A New Hope, in which Princess Leia (also played by Carrie Fisher) says, "Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope."
