When Tom (Mark Grant) comments on Judd's demise ("Poor Judd. He Dead"), the words he uses are taken from the song "Poor Jud Is Daid," a duet sung by Curly McLain (Gordon MacRae) and Jud Fry (Rod Steiger) in the classic musical.
The off-screen phone conversation between Tom (Mark Grant) and Daisy (Jennifer McCartney) echo the cryptic kind of conversations heard by Harry Caul (Gene Hackman).
When Bartlesby (Angel Connell) says he would "prefer not to answer" posed to him by Tom (Mark Grant), part of the phrase is a direct quote from the original Bartleby (Crispin Glover).
