Arno the ballonist seems to be a less-muscular parody of Arnold Schwarzeneggar.
Daria'a comment to Quinn about throwing her friends in a lake is a reference to an old witch-hunting practice. Suspected witches were tied up and thrown in lakes or ponds, the theory being that a real witch will use her magic to save herself. Those that bobbed to the surface were witches. Those that drowned, weren't.
Barlow: Say, Darlene, would alligator wrestling get you into a restaurant? Jake: Of course it would! Daria: That depends. Is there a restaurant next door with cock fights?
Daria: (to Jane) Do you mind if I come over Saturday night? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll end up doing time for de-accessorizing a teenage girl with my bare hands.
Helen: I mean, this trip is a chance to really get to know your daughter as a person. Her hopes, her dreams, her fears. Jake: Ah, Helen, do I have to? Helen: Jake! Jake: But I'm scared.
Quinn: You're leaving me here alone with Daria all weekend? Daria: Relax. I'll use the popular thumb screws.
Quinn: But how I am supposed to choose just one friend? Daria: Throw them in the lake and see who pops to the surface first.
Helen: No dating while we're out of town. Quinn: Muh-om! Helen: The boys of Lawndale will just have to suffer.
Jake: Here we've spent a whole day together and I haven't even tried to find out, um, your dreams...and fears. Daria: My biggest fear right now is that I'll wake up, and this conversation won't have been a dream.
Jane: You know no one says you have to stay home. It's a big wide world out there. Daria: It's the width I find so disturbing.

Montessori "Montessori" is a system of education developed by Maria Montessori, and is actually quite effective. It was advocated by Ayn Rand, and seems exactly the sort of thing Andrew would like.
