When Johnny & Angelo are staking out the bank, a man walks past and offers them oranges. This is a reference to The Godfather, as oranges are used in the Godfather Trilogy to show that something bad will happen. This is followed by Johnny hurting his knee and many people being shot. "Can't have you walking through those doors with your dick in your hand." is a reference to what Sonny says to Michael.
