Episode Quotes
 
Roger: Oh, and what happens in Saudi Arabia, stays in Saudi Arabia, okay? Seriously.
 
Judge: While I'm sure that's a meaningful callback to an earlier conversation, I must point out that you're a man and you have broken no laws.
Stan: So, what does a guy have to do to get stoned around here?
Judge: We're not big on homosexuality.
 
Judge: I'm sorry, counselor. What did you say your name is?
Defense Attorney: Irv Rosenblatt.
Judge: Guilty!
Defense Attorney: Every single case! Oy, this is a tough town.
 
Steve: Wow, Angelina Jolie! I have so many questions to ask you. Is that whole thing about you sleeping with knives in the bed true?
God: I'm not Angelina Jolie, Steve. I'm God. I simply chose the form most pleasing to you.
Steve: Oh, you're God. So, is that thing about Angelina Jolie sleeping with knives in the bed true?
God: Yeah. It's messed up, isn't it?
 
Kazim: Oh, Hayley, that was so wonderful. But now, I'm so confused. It's like I'm not sure who I am anymore.
Hayley: Why, because of that thing I did with my finger? Look, we tried something weird, and you liked it. That doesn't make... Oh, you're talking about the terrorism thing.
 
Steve: Okay. I'm cool. Whatever life throws at me, I can take it, because I am a strong, independant, black woman... I mean, white teenager. Oh God, I'm gonna die out here!
 
Ali: It's so good to have Stan working with us on the pipeline and not for the... United States.
Faziz: Imperialist swine.
Ali: They want to enslave all Arabs.
Stan: You know damn well that America does not want to enslave all Arabs. Just the ones who have oil.
 
Kazim: You should be more careful around the Police of Vice and Virtue. Do you want to get stoned?
Hayley: Yes! Oh, my God, it's been, like, forever.
Kazim: You would like to be buried up to your neck and have a crowd of angry men throw rocks at your head?
Hayley: Oh. No.
 
Man: (On radio) All units to the northeast corner of the kasbah! 220 in progress!
Saudi Police Officer: 220? Someone just spotted a woman's ankles. Let's move!
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Even though God explained to Steve earlier that his/her current form was just a representive, Steve keeps insisting to the people of Saudi Arabia that God is a woman (which, in Saudi Arabia and other countries where Islam is the main religion, is considered taboo since Muslims don't believe that their god is male or female).
 
Hayley is convicted for a crime under Saudi Arabia laws even though she commited it on US soil.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Roger: Oh, and what happens in Saudi Arabia, stays in Saudi Arabia, okay?

This is a spoof of the term, "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas."
 
Roger's Stories

Some of the stories Roger tells the prince about are taken from seasons of shows like Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose's Place.
 
Stan: Look, Mr. President! Teacher says whenever a bell rings, an oppressive autocracy gets freedom!
President Bush: They sure do. Attaboy, Clarence.

That converse is the same converse from the end scene of the classic It's A Wonderful Life.
