Sarah’s shirt says “Frak Off” which is a reference to Battlestar Galactica.

Quotes

Casey: Nice job, Walker. Another geek bites the dust.

Jeff: (about Hannah) I’m gonna totally hit that.
Lester: May the best stalker win.

Morgan: Anything you want to talk to me about?
Chuck: No. Is there anything you wanna ask me?
Morgan: No.
Chuck: Okay, great. Good talk.
Morgan: Absolutely. One of our best.
