J: You and Moya got spat out like a furball. How the hell does that happen?
Jool: Stop. That's all I remember.
Cats commonly spit up furballs after they lick themselves clean

Vella: I see why he mistook you for Sebacean. Same size, weight, coloring. Though the brain cavity appears smaller.
J: Yea, but my choppers are first class and I do an excellent turn-my-head-and-cough. (he coughs)
OK, so "turn your head and cough" is what doctor's tell men when they are checking...you know....when they are doing a male checkup to check for hernias. I think John is basically saying that he is "well hung." Maybe, maybe he's just letting them know he's in good health.

Vella: Are you understanding any of this?
J: (puts on his best southern drawl) Well, I missed a couple of the big words so maybe I should just...

J: Oh, damn, Grandma. (sees the creature) Creature from the Black Lagoon...sort of.
Creature from the Black Lagoon was a movie made in 1954 about a scientific expedition traveling up the Amazon River who finds a dangerous humanoid amphibious fish creature. John's creature does not seem dangerous at all.

J: (to Grandma) Oh, damn you need a bath.
Grandma: Never bathe, never bathe. It washes off the juice.
J: That's more than I want to know.
It's probably more than most of us wanted to know.

J: She's carrying my child. My DNA.
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a nucleic acid that carries the genetic information used for reproduction.

OK, I just have to say here that I am very disgusted by Grayza's nasty breast pheromones. Ew!

Grandma: I showed you Aeryn.
J: You didn't know me squat. Sit. Just sit. (to the assistant) Listen to me. I don't even know this old lady's name. She came on board our ship like a really bad smell that won't go away.
There is a classic episode of Seinfeld about a smell that won't go away. I think George is trying to sell his car and there is a terrible smell in it that he can't get out and everyone who gets in hates the car for that reason. It's hilarious.

Oo-nii: Wait, Crichton, stop. I'm not going to hurt you.
J: You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were a sea monster, creature, critter...something.
Sea monsters were common is Medieval tales of ocean voyages.

Oo-nii: You must help old woman.
J: Just let me clear the antifreeze out of my head.
I was a little confused about this one because antifreeze is a liquid added to the water in a cooling system to lower its freezing point. Antifreeze is technically a good thing, so why John wanted to clear it out of his head...I don't know. In the strictest sense of the word, clearing it out would make his brain freeze and he wouldn't be able to think clearly. I was frelling thinking about this one too much. And then a reader wrote in and told me that the fumes from antifreeze can make a person high. John is probably referring to his head feeling high/dizzy similar to antifreeze high. I also had someone write and tell me that antifreeze is ethylene glycol which is very similar to ethyl alcohol, so you can get drunk if you drink enough of it. Thanks to the readers who wrote in about this one.

J: Weird, I've been here, deja vu.
We might have already covered this on our site somewhere, but if we did I couldn't find it. Deja vu is that sense that you have been here before or have lived the moment you are in before.

Tarnat: The symbol is peace, security. You recognize any of the symbols?
J: One, maybe. Egyptian from my home world.
OK, we looked up the symbol on the tile and it looks like the Eye of Horus. I checked the website, Mark Millmore's Ancient Egypt and found out the Eye heiroglyph is a composite of the human eye and the markings of a falcon's eye and was used as an amulet against injury...it is a symbol of protection. This would go along with the symbols of peace and security already on the tile John found. The Mark Millmore website also had these images of the Eye of Horus.
