Morgan: Judge me by the content of my character. This is a reference to Martin Luther King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech, specifically the lines, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." This speech was delivered during the March on Washington in 1963.

In the opening scene, Morgan and Prentiss discuss Kilgore Trout and Kurt Vonnegut. Kilgore Trout is a fictional science fiction author mentioned in several of Vonnegut's stories and novels, notably Slaughterhouse-Five and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. He appears as a character in a number of others. Trout is depicted as an author of marginal success whose short stories appear mostly in otherwise semi-pornographic magazines. Beginning in December 1974, the novel Venus on the Half-Shell was serialized in the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction under the byline Kilgore Trout. Vonnegut reportedly did not like the book and was also annoyed that he was assumed to be the author. The actual person behind it turned out to be science fiction writer Philip José Farmer, the author of Riverworld. Due to Vonnegut's objections, later paperback editions of the book carried Farmer's name on the cover. In episode 58/3-12 of Scrubs, the name K. Trout appears on a signboard.
