Trivia

There is a parody to the movie Die Hard when Morgan is barefoot and wearing a white tank-top and crawls through the air vents when gunmen take over the Buy More. He then tries to save Casey, Jeff, and Lester by taping a gun to his bare back, and says “Yipeekiyay,” when he tries to pull it.

Mary Bartowski tells Chuck and Sarah, “Come with me if you want to live.” This is the same thing Reese says to Sarah Connor when they first met in The Terminator.

Quotes

Chuck: Guys, I know Kung Fu… again.

Morgan: Strip kick. Yeah, it mixes the self-defense of Krav Maga with the intense core workout of pole dancing.
Chuck: Casey can never know about this.

Volkoff: Give me Frost or I will kill you all, starting with the fat man and the Indian.

Volkoff: Chuck, I want you to have fun tonight, but if I get the feeling that you’re plotting against me…I need this dinner to be perfect.

Chuck: How can I trust anything she says. Everytime I do, I wind up getting shot or blown up. I haven’t been stabbed yet.
Sarah: Chuck, going undercover for so long, staying loyal is extremely hard to do as a spy. I mean I got lucky, I was assigned to you. Your mom – got Volkoff.
