- Dean: My name is Dean Winchester. I am an Aquarius. I enjoy sunsets, long walks on the beach, and frisky women. And I did not kill anyone.
- Sam: Wow, I'd say we've officially crossed over into weird.
- Dean: What do you think, Scully, want to check it out?
Sam: I'm not Scully, you're Scully.
Dean: No, I'm Mulder. You're a red-headed woman.

- Just how much does the police know about all of the Winchesters?
|
- Ghosts aren't always the bad guys!
|
- When the detectives interrogate Sam and Dean, there is no lawyer present.

- Dean refers to Detective Sheridan as Ponch. This is a reference to the TV show CHiPS, which ran from 1977 to 1983 and followed two motorcycle officers. One of the main characters was Frank "Ponch" Poncherello (Erik Estrada), who looked just a bit like Sheridan.
- Dean tells Detective Ballard to find Sam by looking for Jim Rockford at the first motel in the Yellow Pages. This is an allusion to the TV series The Rockford Files, starring James Garner as private investigator Jim Rockford.
