Short summary
David Cross (Tobias) sings "New York, New York" in the presence of Liza Minnelli (Lucille Austero) who first sang the song in the movie of the same name, New York, New York (1977).
In the Queen Mary, there is a well-placed "Park in Rear" sign. This has the same double-meaning as it did in episode 2.6, Arrested Development: Afternoon Delight (2004).
At the prison, Soapdish (1991) was shown on movie night and there was a knife fight.
Michael (Jason Bateman) bought the car from the same man G.O.B (Will Arnett) bought "The Seaward" from.
Recurring character Starla had always claimed she had a relationship with Quincy Jones. Mo Collins (Starla) is a former cast member on MADtv (1995), which Quincy Jones produces. Mo Collins also later played a recurring character on Parks and Recreation (2009), which starred Quincy Jones' daughter Rashida Jones, as Ann Perkins.
In Buster (Tony Hale)'s room, behind Michael (Jason Bateman), a map of Canada can be seen. This is a reference to the time Buster went to Canada for an operation.
Barry (Henry Winkler) gets his knowledge about private stocks and their acquisition from Ask Jeeves.
Starla (Mo Collins) says that her mother and Quincy Jones are the two most important people to her.
More jokes are made at Tobias (David Cross)' questionable sexuality:
- When Buster (Tony Hale) comes to the house because he's on furlough and everyone is out dancing with their girl, Tobias mentions "My schedule is as open as my relationship with my wife. So why don't we pair up?"
- In the same scene Tobias mentions that he could be Buster's wingman and continues to say, "Even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up."
- Tobias brings Buster to a drag bar saying "This place is exactly what I'd hoped for."
- Tobias was dancing with "what turned out to be" the Queen Mary's owner at the club. In his defense he says "Oh, he really, really did look like a woman."
- The sign on the Queen Mary is changed to "Tobias is Queen Mary" after Tobias assumes ownership. This is a mistake as it should read "Tobias's Queen Mary", although instead of seeing this as the error, he mentions that it's not too bad, and he could just paint over "Mary." The sign would then read "Tobias is Queen."
When Tobias (David Cross) sings "New York, New York", Lucille 2 (Liza Minnelli) says, "Everyone thinks they're Frank Sinatra." Liza Minnelli (who plays Lucille 2) sang the song as the theme for the film New York, New York (1977) in 1977, before Frank Sinatra performed it in the early 1980s.
More jokes are made about Barry (Henry Winkler)'s sexuality:
- Barry buys the Queen Mary from Tobias (David Cross), and asks if it still has the "dungeon area."
A sign outside the Queen Mary shows pictures of Queen (band).
Bleeps:
- When G.O.B. (Will Arnett) keeps pushing his single population housing development the name evolves from Single City to Swing City to [Bleep] City.
- When G.O.B. tries to convince Michael (Jason Bateman) to hire him back he says "I'm an ideas man, I think I proved that with ep] Mountain.
- When Maeby (Alia Shawkat) is reading scripts in the attic she gets a paper cut from one of them and says "Ow, back to film school ep]."
- While describing how G.O.B. tried to fix the company's stock problem the narrator (Ron Howard) says "So G.O.B. ep] Lucille 2 (Liza Minnelli)."
The "hot cops" are hired by Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) to scare Tobias (David Cross) into getting rid of The Queen Mary, Tobias recruits them as his personal gang of dancers.
Driving Lucille II (Liza Minnelli) to the Queen Mary in the convertible causes Michael (Jason Bateman)'s hair to be blown into a style similar to Lucille II's. They're both wearing red jackets and a bug flies into Michael's face, mirroring the beauty mark on Liza Minnelli's face.
The scene where Michael (Jason Bateman) signs the papers for his Corvette mirrors the scene where G.O.B. (Will Arnett) signed papers for the The C-Word (formerly The Seaward) in episode 2.2, Arrested Development: The One Where They Build a House (2004).
Buster (Tony Hale) and Starla (Mo Collins) go to Klimpy's, the restaurant first introduced in Season 1.
The "Freedom" sign carrying guy is in the Queen Mary when Tobias (David Cross) and Buster (Tony Hale) go visit. The "Free at Last" music is played as well.
The blue dot makes an appearance when George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) gets up from a bean bag chair wearing a bathrobe.
A seal's jaw can be seen in Buster (Tony Hale)'s room, foreshadowing Buster's seal attack.
In an attempt to fix up Buster (Tony Hale) and Lucille 2 (Liza Minnelli), Michael (Jason Bateman) asks Buster if he thinks he should be in a Lucille (loose seal). This is a foreshadowing that Buster's hand will, in fact, end up in a loose seal.
Michael (Jason Bateman) is calling Ann (Mae Whitman) a pig or pig-like again when he says that George Michael (Michael Cera) doesn't need to be "all penned up" with the veals in their car driving to school. (Like a pig-pen)
Lucille 2 (Liza Minnelli)'s vertigo is cured and subsequently re-triggered in this episode.
When George Michael (Michael Cera) is getting ready for school he comes across a box of love letters he'd written but never sent to Maeby (Alia Shawkat).
There is a "Parking in Rear" sign at the Queen Mary.
