- Drew Seeley discusses John Brown during his opening statement. John Brown believed that slavery could not be ended without armed rebellion. He and 19 of his followers were arrested after they committed a raid in Virginia to steal guns. As Seeley mentions, John Brown was captured and hanged. His story is retold in the song "John Brown's Body," which was sung by Union soldiers during the Civil War. Edit
- Mike Logan: Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. During the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, someone asked a chaplain to say a prayer and as the story goes he responded with, 'Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.' Edit
- Chung: Initials L.L., like one of Superman's girlfriends. Lennie Briscoe: He won't be dating her, she doesn't exist. Chung: And Lois Lane does? As Chung mentioned, Lois Lane was Superman's girlfriend in the various comics and movies about the Man of Steel. She was a reporter for the Daily Planet. During the character's teenaged years, including those during which he was known as Superboy, his high-school girlfriend was Lana Lang. Edit
