Episode Quotes
Dana: See this? That was his penis.
(Faraday gags)
Dana: See these lines here, these are stress fractures. You wouldn't see those if he were flaccid. Something snapped his penis.
Detective Dwight Faraday: What do you mean, snapped?
Dana: I mean snapped.

Dana: Maybe the girl beat him to death with a deer leg. (Faraday stares) What's wrong?
Detective Dwight Faraday: That's just one of those sentences that you never expect to hear.
Dana: How do you think I feel saying it?

Detective Dwight Faraday: Chief, all I'm asking is that the next time it happens, let me be the first on the scene.
Detective Fuches: Are you calling dibs?
Detective Dwight Faraday: Yes, I'm calling dibs.

Mechanical Deer Head: Did you hear the one about the Indian brave who went to the psychiatrist? He said, "Doctor, I don't know if I'm a wigwam or a teepee." The psychiatrist replied, "Why son, you're two tents."

Detective Dwight Faraday: Well now we've had our special sharing time, let's figure out what a deer monster has against horny men.

Detective Dwight Faraday: Why, why does she do it? What's her motive?
Casino Manager: Why does everything have to have a "why" with you people. You know, it's a woman with deer legs, motive isn't really an issue here.



Cultural References
Faraday's reference to the shooting of a wolf-like creature in Piccadilly Circus in London in 1981 is an allusion to director John Landis' An American Werewolf in London.

in the casino, there's a reference to a band, Murph and the Magictones. The same band appears in director John Landis' movie The Blues Brothers.

During the casino scenes, a man in the background wins at casino. One of his two companions, the grey-haired one, is Mick Garris, the Masters of Horror producer.
