D'Argo is brought in from open space--
Z: We must get his respiration started again.
(John begins to pound on his chest ala CPR)
Z: John! What are you doing?
A: Stop, hasn't he suffered enough?
CPR is cardiopulmonary resuscitation, an emergency procedure, often employed after cardiac arrest, in which cardiac massage, artificial respiration, and drugs are used to maintain the circulation of oxygenated blood to the brain. Courtesy of Dictionary.com

J: Man I am never going to get used to walking around inside a living ship.
A: You have nothing similar in your culture?
J: Well Jonah and the whale, but no, no contemporary parallels. Well, except for the horse and rider.
A: Rider? The horse is a beast of burden?
J: Yeah, not as large as or as sophisticated as Moya here but kinda similar, loyal and intelligent.
A: That you capture and make work for you.
J: Yeah, but we love them too.
A: You love what you enslave?
J: We don't enslave them all right? We ride them, fine we enslave them.
This is hilarious - more confusion as John tries to explain life on Earth.

John shows Zhaan a sample of the glue the DRDs shot at him--
J: Oh, don't touch it, it's like super-glue.

To D'Argo--
J: we're in deep guano here bro.
Guano....bat droppings

John's flashlight goes out and he sees...
J: Oh, oh, eyes.
A: Eyes?
J: Yeah, like the cave scene in a Yosemite Sam cartoon.
A popular cartoon character from the Looney Tunes.

A: What are we going to do about the DRDs? They're vital services, we need them operational.
J: Well, they are not exactly operational as it is, Aeryn. You missed that Hitchcock picture playing back there a little while ago. A blockade of these little guys just tried to kill me.
Alfred Hitchcock is considered the foremost director of suspense films of all time. He directed such movies as "Psycho," "The Birds," and "North by Northwest." This is definitely a reference to Hitchcock's "The Birds".

Z: Pilot there must be other changes to come as the fetus develops. What can we be expecting?
J: Yeah, is there some kind of 'What to expect when you're expecting baby Leviathan' book? Dr Spock...Mr Spock.
"What to Expect When You're Expecting" is a popular book on pregnancy. Dr. Benjamin Spock was a pediatrician who wrote a number of books on child rearing. Mr. Spock is a character from Star Trek.
