Episode Quotes
 
Sydney: So, SD-6 wants to send out a message to everyone else they do business with.

Will: It's like, the best movie ever made!
Francie: His Girl Friday?

His Girl Friday is a 1940 screwball comedy staring Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Bellamy and Gene Lockhart. The story revolves around a divorced couple of journalists who become involved in the escape of a convicted killer.
 
Will: What's a better movie than that?
Francie: Godfather, On the Waterfront, Citizen Kane...
Will: Okay, okay, you're right.
Francie: Raging Bull, Empire Strikes Back...

All the movies mentioned by Francie are deemed as the best of their genre. The Godfather ((1972), directed by Francis Ford Coppola and staring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Robert Duvall won three Academy Awards and is considered to be an epic of the Mafia genre; On the Waterfront (1954), staring Marlon Brando, won eight Academy Awards, and alongside with Raging Bull (1980), it was called "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry; Citizen Kane (1941), staring and directed by Orson Wells, is ranked #1 on the American Film Institute "100 Greatest Movies" list, as well as is considered the best film ever made and the most influential motion picture in film history, however it only won one Academy Award; Empire Strikes Back (1980) is the second installment of the original Star Wars trilogy and it is considered the best of the series.
 
Francie: (to the 'bug') Do you think I will find a good wedding dress?
Will: Fran, it's not a Magic 8-Ball.

A Magic 8-Ball is a toy, shaped like an oversized billiards 8-ball, used for fortune telling. The Magic 8-Ball WAS allegedly invented by Abe Bookman of the Alabe Crafts Company in Cincinnati in 1946.
