- The Idea Behind Placebos J.T. brought ecstacy to the party, and Sean was smart enough to replace it with aspirin. The aspirin in this situation is a placebo, which is a drug that a person takes and believes has a certain effect, but the drug really does nothing at all. Placebos are used in medicine to determine how a person's expectations of a drug influence the effectiveness of the drug, aka "Mind over Matter". Sometimes placebos are all that is needed because the person believes the drug is working, kind of like how J.T. and Toby thought they were high on "E" when they really weren't.

- JT: Everyone knows that you score as much as Sundin JT is referring to Mats Sundin, a NHL player for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
