Peter: “Well I got the idea to build a panic room after I saw that movie, The Butterfly Effect. I thought, wow this terrible. I wish I could escape to a place where this movie couldn't find me”

| Peter: “Of course I'm obligated by the state of Kansas to present the church's alternative to the theory of evolution”
The alternative choice to evolution is the theory of “Creationism” or “Intelligent Design” presented as if the character Jeannie from the TV show “I Dream of Jeannie” (1965-1970) simply poofed everything into existence and did so to the theme from the TV series.
| Caveman Brian: “You so money, don't know it”
This is an altered quote from the 1996 movie “Swingers” starring Vince Vaughn.
The complete quote is “You're so money and you don't even know it!”

Allusion to a chorus from the 1982 Prince song, “1999”.
