Trivia
When Booth and Brennan enter the UFO diner, Booth sees a framed photo and says, "Oh, Rocketship 7!" The man in the photo is Dave Roberts "Dave Thomas," the host of the morning children's program "Rocketship 7," which ran on WKBW-Buffalo from 1962-78 and also David Boreanaz 's (Booth's) father.

Quotes
Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know, I won't say anything about the scream, if you don't say anything about the gun.
Dr. Temperance Brennan: Those terms are satisfactory.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right.
