Trivia
Casey, Chuck, and Sarah dragging Bernie’s dead body out of the party while pretending he is alive is a reference to the 1989 film Weekend at Bernie’s, as is Bernie’s name.
The scene where Big Mike kisses Morgan and says, “I know it was you, Morgan. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!” is an allusion to the movie The Godfather where Al Pacino kisses “Fredo” and says the same thing.
Lester’s line of “Yes captain, my captain” is a reference to Walt Whitman’s 1865 poem “O Captain! My Captain!”, a metaphor poem referring to Lincoln’s assassination.
