Episode Quotes |
| |
Parker: (to Flint) This whole job of capital punishment has been turned into a gooey swamp of sentimentality. It's our job not to get stuck in it.
| Libby: You can get greedy seeking experiences, Adam.
Flint: Experience isn't what happens to a person. It's what that person does with what happens.
| Narrator: Life is an island surrounded by a tide of death. Until a man faces the finality of death, he cannot know the preciousness of life.

Episode Goofs |
| |
In most executions by electrocution, the victim's head is shaved to prevent his hair (and thus the room) from catching on fire. Here, the victim has a full head of hair when he is electrocuted.
| Nitpick: In the flashback sequence, Libby is wearing a fur stole to the symphony concert. Surely, the stole was either imitation or rented. Since Libby is a struggling actress, she couldn't possibly afford to buy the real thing.
