Notes

^ Stereotypical lines from direct response television marketing to get the viewer to purchase the advertised product.

^  Reference to a famous Richard Avedon photograph of George Harrison, see http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?object_id=8742

^ "It don't come easy" was a 1971 song by Ringo Starr and George Harrison. One of the lines could be read as a response to Janis's "Peace" spell: "Peace, remember peace is how we make it."

{{notelfreewilly}Right after jeffitchew calls parson an "erf bound whale" he gives him the scroll in case he wants to use it "free will-y" http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Willy which is a movie about freeing an orca whale from it's captivity and leading him back to his original home
