Actor Allusion | |
| Stakeout / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: To pass the time while on stakeout, Chris and Bill are playing a guessing game where they cite memorable lines of dialogue and quiz the other as to what movie it's from. Bill, in an over-the-top way, recounts the line: "This was not a boating accident!" Chris, after a moment's pause, replies "I don't know." The line is from the film Jaws, spoken by Matt Hooper — a character played by Richard Dreyfuss. | |

"Be Quiet!" Nudge | |
| Stakeout / int_772f4a4f | comment |
"Be Quiet!" Nudge: Chris is unpleasantly surprised when he enters Maria's house to find the very much not-dead Stick there. He just barely avoids getting murdered by pretending to be an ex-con boyfriend of Maria's. To avoid Bill giving the both of them away when Chris meets him in front of the house, Chris knocks him out with a punch to the face. | |
