The framed image on Paul Drake's desk is that of Dick Tracy, perhaps the most famous fictional American detective. The image features a large dedication to Paul Drake by Dick Tracy creator Chester Gould: "To Paul Drake with all our best wishes."
When Perry says that his client Fran Celane is taking her time growing up, Paul replies "So did Two Gun Crowley." Paul is referring to teenage criminal Francis Crowley; Crowley murdered a police officer and committed several robberies during a three-month crime spree in 1931.
