I love the quote in the Wikipedia entry on this episode about this review:

The black guy's always the first to die in these sort of things.

In-N-Out? Those are some good burgers, wallflower.

Do you guys remember the time Leonardo Leonardo came to the Quick Stop?

These are great, though I wish we'd gotten one with the Cornballer.

I always wanted to be in one of your fuckin' plays.

You can't talk about Leonard Cohen without mentioning the use of his songs in "McCabe & Mrs. Miller". The film is fantastic, but it wouldn't have as much of an emotional punch if it didn't have "Winter Lady" or "The Stranger Song".

"Suppose I shot you. How'd that be?" is the one that's always stayed with me. It's like something out of a Cormac McCarthy novel.

If he and  Armin Mueller-Stahl did a spin-off series of the wacky adventures of Yo-Yo and Helmut Lampshade, I'd watch the shit out of that.

I wouldn't call "The Life Aquatic" Anderson's best film, but boy is it my favorite soundtrack from one of his movies.

I think there's a better chance we'll hear a Rolling Stones song at some point since Anderson's used a Stones song in nearly every one of his movies (save for "Moonrise Kingdom" and "The Life Aquatic").

He is Wes, eager for fun
He wears a smile, everybody run.

I concur with @avclub-8f722a6f8129944c85904130611bd1f4:disqus in regards to the use of the "Cheers" theme. It fit so perfectly in the confines of the episode that it really does deserve comparison to the use of the songs from "Hello Dolly!" in "Wall-e".

The brutal irony of it all is that everyone but Simon knows his name.

And yet we didn't see when Simon had to eventually abandon Marceline (perhaps sensing that he would be unable to defend her from the zombies and himself), with Marceline going for the "happily ever after" route. I think that kind of makes things more effective than if we had seen what happened immediately afterwards.

I have an awful feeling that, in his attempt to bring Fionna and Cake into the real world, he'll inadvertently serve as a pawn for some nefarious evil (the Lich's return, perhaps). Poor Simon Petrikov will always be at the hands of some higher, merciless power.

I was a little surprised we didn't see the Ice King's eventual fall into madness, but I don't think we needed to. Marceline didn't need to tell Jake or Finn (or us) about that, and the episode had a sort of bittersweet ending as a result. What a marvelously atmospheric, funny, and haunting ten minutes of television.

Not to mention it had the most brutal cliffhanger in the entire series. Waiting for the sixth season was agonizing.

Needs more Lens Flare.

I was so bummed when I heard it was gonna be a three week wait. I'm jonesing for some mythology-building backstories!
