| When Officer Barbrady is in class and Mr. Garrison is speaking to them, behind him is a banner that reads 'DiOs MiO hAn MaTaDo Ha KeNnY bAsTaRdOs.'
In Spanish that would appear as '¡Dios mio, han matado a Kenny! ¡Bastardos!'
And when translated into English, it would read 'Oh my God, they killed Kenny! Bastards!' |

| Garrison: Okay, Officer Barbrady, why don't you give us your book report?
Barbrady: (Goes to the front of the room) I've just finished reading the heartwarming novel, Go Dog Go. I found it a compelling and disturbing look at the canine psyche. If I may read a passage: 'Big… dog…, little… dog.' (turns the page) 'A red dog… on a…' Well, anyway, I'm not one to give away the ending, but I will say that it spirals toward an incredible twist-turn that parallels my own life.
Garrison: Thank you, Officer Barbrady. That was a very good book report indeed. I'll give you an 'A'.
Barbrady: Hooray! | Cartman: Step out of the car, please, sir.
Randy: Wait a second. Aren't you Stan's little friend?
Cartman: (slower) Sir, step out of the car, please.
Randy: (steps out) Yeah. You're the one who always plugs up the toilet at our house.
Cartman: Hey! I am a cop, and you will respect my authoritah!!! | Cartman: (showing his badge) Sir. Uh step out of the car.
Driver: (getting out of his car) Hey, wait a minute. You're just a kid!
Cartman: (pulling out his baton) Maybe this'll teach you to listen to authoritah! (begins beating the man)
Driver: Ow! Oo-uhow! Ow! Hey, man, what are you doing?! Ow, stop it!
Cartman: (sighs) Yep. Sometimes upholding the law is messy. But you get by. One day at a time. |

| Visual: COPS
Much of this episode, when following Barbrady and Cartman around, is done in the style of the reality crime-fighting show, COPS. | Visual: (on the chalkboard) Oprah Winfrey has huge knockers
When Mr. Garrison is taunting Barbrady for not being able to read, he writes on the board "Oprah Winfrey has huge knockers", and asks Barbrady to read it. This reference is especially amusing considering that Oprah and her book club promote literacy. | Cartman: For my book report, I read The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was very very good. Have you read it, Mr. Garrison?
The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe is the first in C.S. Lewis' series, The Chronicles of Narnia. This fantasy-oriented book was written in 1950, and was just recently made into a motion picture. | Bookmobile Driver: You're welcome. And now, my reading friend, you've proven that you are ready for the big time. I give you this hardback copy of Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand.
Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is a very lengthy novel that examines philosophy and politics, and puts forth ideas that Rand would later develop into her philosophy of objectivism. It is unlikely that Barbrady could comprehend such a work so recently after learning how to read. |

| Visual: Blue Mega Man
On the playground, we see a kid with an aviator cap holding a Blue Mega Man. We first were introduced to the Mega Man toys in the episode "Damien", when Cartman wanted to receive all the different colors of Mega Man toys for his birthday. |
